hashcat is now a system dependency (installed via apt/brew or PATH) rather
than a compiled submodule. The Lima VM provision script installs it via apt,
and local installs are expected to have hashcat available in PATH.
- Remove hashcat entry from .gitmodules
- Remove hashcat/ submodule checkout
- Remove hashcat submodule skip logic from Makefile submodules target
- Simplify submodules-pre hashcat check to PATH-only
- Update vendor-assets and clean targets to remove submodule references
- Update README: hashcat is now a required prerequisite, not optional
- Document Lima VM E2E prerequisites (lima, rsync) and list all packages
provisioned automatically by the test VM
- Add hashcat as git submodule; compile with make, skip if already in PATH
- Convert princeprocessor from tracked files to git submodule
- Change .DEFAULT_GOAL to install so plain `make` does a full install
- Install uv, Xcode CLT (macOS), build-essential (Debian) if missing
- vendor-assets falls back to system hashcat if submodule not compiled
- Remove hcatOptimizedWordlists; all attacks now use hcatWordlists
- Default hcatWordlists to ./wordlists, rules_directory to ./hashcat/rules
- Default hcatTuning to empty string (no --force --remove)
- Backfill missing config.json keys from config.json.example at startup
- Wrap hcatBin/hcatTuning/hcatWordlists loading in try/except with defaults
- Fall back to vendored hashcat binary at hate_path/hashcat/hashcat

Add OMEN (Ordered Markov ENumerator) as a probability-ordered password
candidate generator. Trains n-gram models on leaked passwords via
createNG, then pipes candidates from enumNG into hashcat.
Also fix a pre-existing bug where ensure_binary() used quit(1) instead
of sys.exit(1) - quit() closes stdin before raising SystemExit, which
caused "ValueError: I/O operation on closed file" when any optional
binary check failed and the program continued to use input().
