78c050e1fa feat: add private key viewing for addresses
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 22s
Add a 'Show private key' button on the address detail view that opens
a dedicated password-prompt screen with a clear warning about key
sensitivity. After correct password entry, the derived private key is
displayed in a read-only well with a copy button.

- Add getPrivateKeyForAddress() to wallet.js
- Add showPrivateKey view with password verification
- Add clipboard policy section to README explaining why we never
  auto-clear the clipboard
- Register new view in helpers.js VIEWS array and wire up in index.js

Closes #19

attack.
#### Clipboard Policy
AutistMask never clears or overwrites the user's clipboard. When sensitive data
such as a private key is copied, it is the user's responsibility to manage their
clipboard afterwards. We deliberately avoid auto-clearing the clipboard for two
reasons:
1. **User expectations**: silently modifying the clipboard violates the
principle of least surprise. The user initiated the copy and knows the
content is sensitive.
2. **Data safety**: the user may have copied something else important in the
intervening time. A timed clipboard clear would destroy that unrelated data.
The warning shown before revealing a private key makes it clear that the key is
sensitive and that clipboard management is the user's responsibility.
#### Data Model
The core hierarchy is **Wallets → Addresses**:
