🛡️ Sentinel: [HIGH] Fix insecure randomness using Math.random()

[fatelessdev]

🚨 Severity: HIGH
💡 Vulnerability: The application was using the cryptographically insecure Math.random() to generate potentially sensitive security tokens, including bargain coupon codes, store credit codes, and combo group IDs.
🎯 Impact: Using a weak PRNG like Math.random() allows an attacker to potentially predict generated codes. This could result in unauthorized discovery of valid discount codes or store credits, leading to financial loss for the platform.
🔧 Fix:

• Created a generateSecureCode() utility in lib/utils.ts that relies on the cryptographically secure crypto.getRandomValues().
• Refactored app/api/bargain/route.ts, lib/actions/admin.ts, and lib/cart-context.tsx to use the new utility instead of inline Math.random() loops.
• Added a Sentinel journal entry documenting the vulnerability and the correct preventative usage.
  ✅ Verification: Verified by checking out the code modifications manually and running the codebase test suite (bun test), ensuring zero failures and that code-generation paths use secure randomness.
