Procedural Task Generator for CyberSOCEnv.

Generates 1000+ unique, deterministic attack scenarios from a task_id seed.
Each task_id (e.g. 'gen_0001') always produces the exact same scenario.

Design:
    - hash(task_id) -> deterministic seed -> random.Random instance
    - Seed drives ALL choices: attack type, hosts, processes, IOCs, alerts
    - 12 attack categories, 50+ malware names, 40+ C2 domains
    - 3 difficulty tiers based on task number

No actual randomness — reproducible across runs and platforms.
