Why doesnt the userModel contain the salt?

The user.fixture.js file includes a salt for the admin but it doesnt seem to be stored anywhere. Why not add the salt to the user model? It's solely for preventing rainbow table attacks, no issue in storing it right next to the password.

Any reason for this?

Start by reading user.fixture.js and the issue’s description of password salts. Trace where the user model and password handling are defined, then clarify whether storing the salt is intended and what behavior should be tested; the issue names no test or acceptance criteria.
