+Add the Waves V17 version (17.1.42) to the 54 Waves entries that listed only
+16.7.33 or no version, so an installed 16.7.33 no longer reads as current.
+Each product was checked against its waves.com page (live, lists V17) and the
+2026-06-23 "across-the-board update to V17" release note before the row was
+written through `pnpm identifiers:apply`. The reviewed list is
