🎯 What: Fixed an insecure randomness vulnerability in TrinityKeystore.getVector inside App.tsx where a non-cryptographic Math.random() was being used to generate salt vectors.

⚠️ Risk: Math.random() generates predictable values that are highly vulnerable to sequence prediction and reverse-engineering, entirely undermining the cryptographic purpose of the salt vectors and leaving them open to exploitation and session/data compromise.

🛡️ Solution: Replaced Math.random() with crypto.getRandomValues() using Uint32Array. Implemented an environment-agnostic check (window.crypto or globalThis.crypto) to safely retrieve the Web Crypto API without causing a ReferenceError on window in Node.js, Server-Side Rendering (SSR), or headless testing environments. Added full security JSDoc comments to document the fix and guide future development.

Refactored TrinityKeystore.getVector's salt generator to replace the insecure Math.random() with a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) using Web Crypto API's getRandomValues. Additionally, resolved the Web Crypto API dynamically in an environment-agnostic manner to prevent ReferenceErrors in non-browser/Node.js/SSR environments.
