Fix invalid password hash error message
Previously, posting definitions with an invalid password hash (e.g., "password_hash": "invalid_hash") resulted in an unhelpful error: "Negative count: -10" This occurred because the password parsing code didn't validate the decoded hash size before extracting the salt, causing ArgumentError when salt_size became negative. Added validation to catch: - Invalid Base64 encoding in password hashes - Decoded hash size smaller than required digest size Now returns clear error messages: - "Invalid password hash: not valid Base64 encoding (...)" - "Invalid password hash: decoded size X bytes is smaller than required digest size Y bytes for <algorithm>" Also added test coverage for: - Invalid password hash error handling - Exchange-to-exchange bindings in definitions upload 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
