Apologies for my delay. With the following comment I sign off on Wave:

"Once more Wave is on the brink of retirement. However, this time, an
offer has been made of code from SwellRT, which is a fork of Wave
itself, and a concall has been scheduled for interested parties to
discuss whether it is a go-er. It is my (limited) understanding that
many of the complexity issues in the Wave code that have prevented
community development have been resolved in SwellRT. I will watch to see
where this goes, if anywhere."
