feat: Hardhat plugin package for seamless integration with Hardhat workflows

[ciynthia]

Overview

This PR adds @chainproof/hardhat-plugin, a first-class Hardhat integration that lets teams run ChainProof as native Hardhat tasks, hook scans into compile/test workflows, and view colorized findings in the Hardhat console — without leaving the Hardhat ecosystem.

🛠 Hardhat Tasks

• [ADD] packages/hardhat-plugin/src/tasks/scan.ts

• Registers npx hardhat chainproof for a full audit scan.

• [ADD] packages/hardhat-plugin/src/tasks/check.ts

• Registers npx hardhat chainproof:check — fast CI check that fails on critical/high findings.

• [ADD] packages/hardhat-plugin/src/tasks/report.ts

• Registers npx hardhat chainproof:report --format markdown --output audit.md.

• [ADD] packages/hardhat-plugin/package.json

🔧 Core Build Fixes (upstream compatibility)

• Restored working scan orchestration required for the plugin to call @chainproof/core.

• [MODIFY] packages/core/src/rules/swc107-reentrancy.ts, swc115-tx-origin.ts

• Fixed broken merge syntax errors blocking TypeScript compilation on upstream master.

• [MODIFY] packages/core/src/ast/import-graph.ts, metrics/complexity.ts, rules/swc116-unprotected-upgrade.ts
