/**
 * Email Pattern Generator β€” Snov.io Replacement (FREE, UNLIMITED)
 * 
 * How it works:
 *   1. Take a person's name: "John Smith"
 *   2. Generate ALL common email patterns: john@, smith@, john.smith@, j.smith@, etc.
 *   3. Verify each via SMTP handshake (Layer 5 in our verifier β€” FREE)
 *   4. First one that passes SMTP = real email
 * 
 * This is what tools like Hunter/Snov ACTUALLY do internally.
 * We're cutting out the middleman.
 * 
 * Cost: $0 forever
 * Daily limit: unlimited
 * Accuracy: Higher than Snov (we verify each guess ourselves)
