🚨 **Severity:** CRITICAL
💡 **Vulnerability:** Insecure password hashing and storage. The `PasswordManager` class allowed for unsalted passwords and used a broken verification function, making stored passwords vulnerable to rainbow table attacks.
🎯 **Impact:** An attacker with access to the database could easily crack user passwords, leading to account compromise.
🔧 **Fix:**
* The `PasswordManager` class has been refactored to enforce salted password hashing.
* The `hashPassword` method now always generates a cryptographically secure salt and hashes the password with it.
* The `verifyPassword` method has been corrected to properly compare a plaintext password with a stored hash.
* All call sites and tests have been updated to use the new, secure API.
* Removed temporary log and data files from the repository and added them to `.gitignore`.
✅ **Verification:** The full test suite has been run and all tests pass.
📝 **Note on Scope:** This patch also includes a fix for a pre-existing state management bug in the cryptographic handshake protocol. While this was out of scope for the original task, it was necessary to fix to ensure the test suite passed.
