Description

Create a script that a developer can run to generate all the required information for a new level based around the steps outlined here: https://github.com/OWASP/SecurityShepherd/wiki/How-to-Create-a-Web-Shepherd-Level

Should return the levelhash, solution key, etc + a JSP template that they can edit and deploy within Security Shepherd without having to log into the DB directly etc.

Can this be done from within Shepherd itself?

Research direction

Start with the linked How-to-Create-a-Web-Shepherd-Level wiki page and compare its steps with the current Security Shepherd workflow, including the direct database work. Define the script or in-application entry point and verify that it produces the levelhash, solution key, other required information, and an editable JSP template. Done means a developer can generate and deploy a new level without logging into the database directly.
