Critical Security Hardening and Global Sync (Upgrade A-1 -> A-2)

Overview

This PR upgrades the Sierra Security Suite from the legacy V. A-1 logic to the new Hardened V. A-2 standard. This release focuses on mathematical brute-force immunity, global time synchronization, and modular integration.

Major Security Enhancements

  • Hash Stretching (50,000 Rounds): Replaced the single-pass SHA-256 with a 50,000-iteration stretching protocol. This renders standard brute-force attacks on the 0-999 key space mathematically impossible within the 15-minute validity window.
  • Cryptographic Rolling Salt: Implemented a daily-expiring salt based on the UTC date string. Authorized UUIDs/Handshakes now automatically expire at 00:00 UTC, preventing long-term capture and replay attacks.
  • UTC Migration (Global Sync): Migrated all time-based logic from local system time to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This ensures perfect synchronization between keys and locks regardless of geographical location or travel.
  • Anti-Automation Protocol: Integrated a 1.5-second forensic delay and a strict 3-attempt lockout to mitigate automated script-guessing and macro spam.

Visual & UX Upgrades

  • Migration to the premium "Sierra Curvy" ASCII identity.
  • Native ANSI color support (Windows-optimized) for clear status communication (Blue/Green/Red).

⚠️ Breaking Changes & Migration Notes

  • Keys are NOT backward compatible: Because of the change from 1 round to 50,000 rounds and the introduction of the Rolling Salt, V. A-1 codes will not unlock V. A-2 systems.
  • All systems using Sierra Security must be updated to the A-2 binary simultaneously to maintain access.
