How will DagKnight affect how Kaspa wallets confirm transactions?

Under DagKnight, Kaspa wallets and clients will incorporate the adaptive k value into their own confirmation policies when deciding whether a transaction is settled. A "confirmation" is a signal that a transaction has been securely recorded in the network — the more confirmations required, the harder it is for anyone to reverse the payment. Because DagKnight's k adapts to real network conditions rather than a hardcoded value, wallets will use that live k when setting their confirmation threshold, much like how different Bitcoin clients have historically required different confirmation counts before accepting a payment as final. This matters for users because it means Kaspa's confirmation standard will reflect actual network conditions, not a fixed assumption baked in at launch.
