Theodore Li 334c7c81bc fix(security): suppress the CodeQL password-hash alert on sha256Hex (#5982)
CodeQL fails #5963 (the v0.7.46 release PR) with 2 high-severity js/insufficient-password-hash alerts on packages/security/src/hash.ts. Both are false positives that surfaced now because d362e6816e added sha256Base64Url to this file — touching it made every pre-existing taint path ending here count as 'new code changed by this pull request'. The flagged lines and all their callers are unchanged.

Neither taint source is a human password:
- hashApiKey passes an API key built from generateSecureToken(24) — 192 bits of randomBytes. A fast digest is the right construction for indexed lookup; a slow KDF would run on every authenticated request and buy nothing against an unsearchable keyspace.
- passwordSlot passes an already-encrypted value, hashed to an 8-char discriminator that invalidates deployment auth tokens when the password changes — not credential storage.

User credentials never reach this helper; Better Auth owns them and applies its own KDF.

Suppress with the inline lgtm comments this repo already uses for the same class of judgement (see uuidV5 in ee/workspace-forking/lib/remap/block-identity.ts), and document the invariant on sha256Hex so a future caller knows a genuine password belongs in Better Auth, not here. Only the two flagged lines are suppressed — sha256Base64Url is left unannotated so a real finding there would still surface.
