Description
bcrypt doesn't work with passwords [greater than 72 characters](https://github.com/kazu-yamamoto/crypton/blob/2b060ad700d4036ef95ec9de3ae81391262ebc0c/Crypto/KDF/BCrypt.hs#L156)

Research direction
The issue references Crypto/KDF/BCrypt.hs at the bcrypt implementation line handling the length limit. Start by tracing password hashing and verification in the TypeScript project, then add a regression test for passwords longer than 72 characters. Done means the supported behavior for long passwords is defined and the test passes.
