	+ note in manpage that wgetch/wget_wch consistently set errno to EBADF
	  for poll/select configurations when the input is closed.
	+ improve check in test/ncurses for errors by limiting it to the
	  latest wgetch/wget_wch (cf: 20260404).
	> fixes for problems found by Anthropic (report by David Korczynski):
	+ correct a limit-check in _nc_write_object
	+ correct a source-pointer in _nc_trim_sgr0
	+ add limit-check in read_SGR
