🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Require the kB unit before accepting MemAvailable. LLMemory::updateMemoryInfo() reaches this parser, and sscanf can return 1 for MemAvailable: 123 MB or MemAvailable: 123. The code then stores 123 as kilobytes, sets found_available, and skips get_avphys_pages(). Parse the complete record and require the literal kB suffix. The direct U32Kilobytes assignment is correct for a valid kilobyte value.

In `@indra/llcommon/llsys.cpp` around lines 851 - 883, Update the MemAvailable
parsing in LLMemory::updateMemoryInfo() to accept a value only when the complete
record includes the literal kB suffix, rejecting missing or alternate units so
the fallback remains available. Preserve the existing U32Kilobytes assignment
for validated kilobyte values.
