Big event bugfix. see details:

## v0.13.0 — 2026-05-01

### Fixed

- **SUB 5A bulk waveform stream — over-read bug for events ≥ 2 sec.**
  `read_bulk_waveform_stream` was walking the chunk counter past the actual
  end of the event, picking up post-event circular-buffer garbage that
  corrupted reconstructed Blastware files for any waveform > ~1 sec.  The
  loop now extracts the event's `end_offset` from the STRT record at
  `data[23:27]` of the probe response and stops the chunk walk when the next
  counter would step past it.  Verified against three BW MITM captures
  (4-27-26 + 5-1-26): 2-sec event drops from 37 over-read chunks to 7
  bounded chunks; 3-sec drops to 9; non-zero-start "event 2" drops to 9.

### Added

- `framing.bulk_waveform_term_v2(key4, end_offset, last_chunk_counter)` —
  computes the corrected SUB 5A TERM frame's `(offset_word, params)` per the
  formula confirmed across all 3 BW captures.  Not yet wired into
  `read_bulk_waveform_stream` (the legacy TERM is still used to preserve the
  existing `blastware_file.write_blastware_file` frame-structure expectations);
  available for the next iteration that switches to BW's 0x0200 chunk step.
- `framing.parse_strt_end_offset(a5_data)` — extracts the event-end pointer
  from the STRT record in an A5 response payload.

Build the 10-byte params block for the SUB 5A termination request.
DEPRECATED 2026-05-01 — see bulk_waveform_term_v2().
The termination request uses offset=0x005A and a DIFFERENT params layout
the leading 0x00 byte is dropped, key4[0:2] shifts to params[0:2], and the
counter high byte is at params[2]:
Build the 10-byte params block for the SUB 5A termination request, OLD layout
(used in conjunction with the fixed offset_word=0x005A). Kept for backward
compatibility — produces a tiny ~100-byte device-side terminator response
rather than the proper partial-last-chunk + footer payload that BW gets.
