 #              Changed: detector.sh, digest.sh (+ test-wake-detector.sh

+#   0.6.13 #942/#943 SLACK-knob validation hardening, split from 0.6.12 because
+#              version= is the component's SOLE self-identity claim (no per-file
+#              hashes here) and two detector-changing merges after the 0.6.12
+#              stamp had left three materially different detectors under one
+#              version string (#943 review §2). #942: the knob is resolved once,
+#              shape-validated, LOUD fallback 300, and forced base-10 (10#) so
+#              zero-padded values mean what the operator wrote instead of octal.
+#              #943: validation is a whole-string case pattern, not grep, so an
+#              embedded newline ($'300\n8' — accepted per-line by grep's ^...$
+#              anchors, fatal in $((...))) rejects. Full rationale in the knob
+#              paragraph of the 0.6.12 entry above.
+#              Changed: detector.sh (+ test-wake-detector.sh D13).
