return e == nil || internal.IsKeyExpired(ekr.Created, e.Policy.ExpireKeyAfter) || ekr.Revoked

**Why Fix**:
36-
- Boolean short-circuit doesn't prevent `e.Policy` access
37-
- Causes panic in production when envelope is nil
38-
- Hard to test all error paths
39-
- Production crashes impact availability

**Remediation**:
42-
- Separate nil check from other conditions

- Return early on nil

- Add defensive programming practices
