Add Channel Hash Utility to Node class
### Summary - Added a new method `get_channels_with_hash()` to the `Node` class. - This method returns a list of dictionaries, each containing the channel index, role, name, and a hash value derived from the channel name and PSK. - The hash is calculated using the existing `generate_hash` utility, ensuring consistency with other parts of the codebase. - This utility makes it easier to programmatically access channel metadata, including a unique hash, for scripting, debugging, or integration purposes. ### Motivation - The protobuf `Channel` objects do not include a hash value by default. - This addition provides a Pythonic, easy-to-use way to access channel info and a unique hash for each channel, which can be useful for diagnostics, scripting, or UI display. ### Example Usage ```python channels = node.get_channels_with_hash() for ch in channels: print(f"Index {ch['index']}: {ch['role']} name='{ch['name']}' hash={ch['hash']}") ``` ### Impact - No breaking changes; existing APIs and CLI output remain unchanged. - The new method is additive and can be used where needed for enhanced channel introspection.
