What: Make the LockDetail.lock_status / door_state setters reject raw strings on Python 3.12+, not just on 3.11.

Why: Both setters validated input with var not in LockStatus (and LockDoorStatus). Enum membership changed in Python 3.12 to do value-equality, so "locked" in LockStatus is now True. The guard therefore accepted a raw string whose value happened to match an enum member and stored it on the instance. Every downstream comparison expects a real enum — lock_status not in MOVING_STATES, == LockStatus.LOCKED, etc. — and a stored str compares unequal to the enum, silently corrupting lock-state logic. This only bites on 3.12/3.13/3.14, which the package supports.

How: Swap the membership check for isinstance(var, LockStatus) / isinstance(var, LockDoorStatus). isinstance rejects value-matching strings on every supported version, so the contract (setter accepts only the enum) holds uniformly.

Testing: Full suite green (451 passed). Added two regression tests that feed LockStatus.LOCKED.value / LockDoorStatus.CLOSED.value (the value-matching strings) and assert ValueError — these would pass-through silently under the old check on 3.12+. Also tightened the existing reject-non-enum tests from (TypeError, ValueError) to ValueError now that behavior is consistent across versions.

The lock_status and door_state setters guarded with `var not in
LockStatus` / `var not in LockDoorStatus`. On Python 3.12+, enum
membership does value-equality, so `"locked" in LockStatus` is True
and the setter silently accepted and stored the raw string instead of
the enum — breaking downstream identity/membership comparisons
(e.g. `lock_status not in MOVING_STATES`, `== LockStatus.LOCKED`).

Use `isinstance(var, ...)` so the guard is correct and consistent
across all supported Python versions (3.10–3.14).
