c04c111af1 feat: e2e tests for non-interactive CLI subcommands (#164)
* feat: add e2e test suite skeleton and shared fixtures

New tests/e2e/ subpackage for a real-subprocess, real-hashcat CLI
end-to-end suite, gated behind HATE_CRACK_HASHCAT_REAL=1 (never runs in
standard CI — ubuntu-latest CI runners have no hashcat installed).
Adds shared fixtures: e2e_home (HOME-isolated config, since
_candidate_roots() doesn't search cwd), e2e_hash_file (NTLM hashes for
three known plaintexts), e2e_wordlist/e2e_wordlist_no_target,
e2e_rules_dir, plus a preflight fixture that skips with an actionable
message on missing binaries or an unisolatable local config.json.

* feat: e2e tests for the 4 non-interactive CLI subcommands

Real subprocess + real hashcat coverage for quick/dict/brute/topmask,
plus a harness smoke test proving the suite can tell "ran clean, zero
cracks" apart from "actually cracked something" (test_harness_smoke_*).

* fix: pure-Python MD4 for e2e NTLM fixture (hashlib md4 unavailable)

hashlib.new("md4", ...) raises ValueError/UnsupportedDigestmodError on
OpenSSL 3.x builds that don't load the legacy provider (confirmed on
real developer hardware — uv's managed Python, backed by Homebrew's
OpenSSL 3.6.2, has no MD4 at all; only the platform's separately
bundled /usr/bin/python3 happened to work, which nothing in this
suite's subprocess calls actually uses). Replaced with a small,
dependency-free pure-Python MD4 (RFC 1320) verified against the
"password"/empty-string NTLM test vectors and cross-checked by having
real hashcat crack a hash this helper computes.

hcatBruteForce() hard-codes the full ?a charset (?l?u?d?s, 95 chars) at
every mask position, so keyspace is 95**N regardless of what --min/--max
is passed. None of E2E_PLAINTEXTS is short enough for that to be a fast,
*deterministic* test: measured live on this hardware (Apple M3 Max,
OpenCL backend, hashcat -b -m 1000 -> ~14 GH/s), 95**7 (e2e2026's length)
is a ~70 trillion-key space taking ~77 minutes to exhaust, and hashcat's
GPU candidate-generator does not enumerate in simple first-character
order, so there is no reliable early-exit fraction to bound wall time by
— a live run got to 5% progress in ~4 minutes with no crack yet. A
6-char password bounds the keyspace to 95**6 (~7.35e11 keys), which at
the same measured throughput exhausts in ~52 seconds *even in the
worst case* (full keyspace scan, no lucky early hit needed) — the
property this test actually needs is a guaranteed upper bound, not an
expected-value guess about candidate ordering.
