[L-01] abi.encodePacked should not be used with dynamic types when passing the result to a hash function such as keccak256()

Mitigation: Use abi.encode() instead which will pad items to 32 bytes, which will prevent hash collisions (e.g. abi.encodePacked(0x123,0x456) => 0x123456 => abi.encodePacked(0x1,0x23456), but abi.encode(0x123,0x456) => 0x0...1230...456). “Unless there is a compelling reason, abi.encode should be preferred”. https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/v0.8.13/abi-spec.html#non-standard-packed-mode (in 'warning')
