- Added "HW" (Hardware) category to the platform with a dedicated icon and color

- Updated challenge grid to 6 columns on desktop to accommodate the new category
- Alphabetized challenge categories in the main view and Admin panel selection
- Alphabetized operators list in the Admin panel with case-insensitive sorting
- Restricted visibility of Challenges, Scoreboard, and Score Matrix to authenticated users only
- Secured the /state API endpoint to prevent leaking challenges, solves, teams, or internal IP (dockerIp) to guests
- Implemented server-side verification of user profile in the state response to prevent client-side admin spoofing
- Refactored the /state backend endpoint using async/await for better reliability and error handling
- Rebranded the project from "cypherstrike-ctf" to "hipctf" across package.json, index.html, and server defaults
- Synchronized browser page title with the competition name configured in the Admin panel
- Fixed a "black page" issue by resolving a missing React import and adding frontend sanity checks
