Shutting down the regulator when Vout OR Vin got too low would work. This may be able to be just 2 x r plus a bipolar. Almost certainly precise enough for this task. Check at desired temperature extremes. 3 small components. Or a power supply monitor IC driving shutdown. Possibly 1 small (3 pin) device. Or 2 x R and a TLV431 or TL431. Or (extra points) a bipolar and 2 r's connected to shut down when Vdropout got too low. (Noting that Vdropout MAY increase in dropout with some ICs). For a regulator with no disable a preceding bipolar or FEt with appropriate drive. Boy count getting up BUT one bipolar and 2 x R may suffice.
