πŸ›‘οΈ Sentinel: [CRITICAL] Fix insecure password storage

🚨 Severity: CRITICAL
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The WebUI password was stored in plaintext in config.json.
🎯 Impact: Anyone with access to the configuration file (e.g., via backup, or local access) could read the password.
πŸ”§ Fix: Implemented PBKDF2 hashing for the password. Added logic to automatically migrate existing plaintext passwords to hashes upon startup or successful login.
βœ… Verification: Tested via updated unit tests ensuring that:

  1. Plaintext passwords are detected and migrated.
  2. Hashed passwords are correctly verified.
  3. Legacy plaintext logins still work and trigger migration.

- Replaced plaintext storage of WebUI password with PBKDF2 hash

- Added opportunistic migration on successful login
- Updated AuthManager to support verifying both legacy and hashed passwords
- Updated tests to verify migration logic

This fixes a critical vulnerability where the password was stored in plaintext.
