Description
Summary
Add a hash.html tool that computes cryptographic hashes (SHA-256, SHA-512, SHA-1) for text or files entirely in the browser using the native WebCrypto API.
Motivation
File integrity checks and quick hash comparisons are common developer tasks. The WebCrypto SubtleCrypto.digest() API covers the most-needed algorithms with no external library, keeping the bundle tiny and the UX instant. MD5, while not in WebCrypto, can be inlined as a ~100-line pure-JS implementation for users who still need it for legacy compatibility checks.
Proposed UX
- Input: textarea for text OR a file drop-zone (drag a file → hash its bytes)
- Algorithm pills: MD5 · SHA-1 · SHA-256 · SHA-512 — all computed on every input change, shown simultaneously
- Output: each hash displayed as a hex string with a copy button; uppercase/lowercase toggle
- Compare mode: a second input to paste an expected hash — green ✓ / red ✗ match indicator per algorithm row
- File size and name shown when a file is loaded; "Clear" resets to text mode

#️⃣ - SHA-1 / SHA-256 / SHA-512 via
window.crypto.subtle.digest()— no library - MD5 inlined as a minimal pure-JS implementation (~100 lines) since it is absent from WebCrypto

Research direction
Start with src/_tool-template.html and the existing entries in tools.json to understand the tool structure, then review the generation commands listed in the issue. The work is complete when hash.html supports text and file hashing, all four algorithms, copying, case toggling, comparison, file metadata, and Clear behavior, with generated sections, index, and favicon updated.
