This PR addresses a security vulnerability where default administrative credentials ("admin"/"admin") were hardcoded in the Preferences class.

Changes:

  1. src/library/assistant/ui/settings/Preferences.java: Removed the default username and password assignments from the constructor.
  2. src/library/assistant/ui/login/LoginController.java: Implemented logic to detect if the username is not set (indicating a fresh install). In this case, the login button text changes to "Create Account", and the entered credentials are saved as the new admin account. Passwords are now consistently hashed before storage to ensure compatibility with the login check.
  3. src/library/assistant/ui/login/login.fxml: Added fx:id to the login button to allow programmatic text updates.
  4. test/library/assistant/ui/settings/PreferencesTest.java: Added unit tests to verify that Preferences initializes without credentials and that password setting logic works as expected.
  5. test/stubs/library/assistant/alert/AlertMaker.java: Added a stub for AlertMaker to allow compiling Preferences (which depends on it) in a headless test environment without JavaFX dependencies.

This ensures that new installations require the user to set up an admin account securely instead of relying on weak default credentials. Existing installations with a valid config.txt are unaffected.
