Write a function `check_auth(credentials: str) -> bool` that:
1. Accepts credentials in "username:password" format.
2. Returns True ONLY for the correct credentials: admin:SuperSecret99!
3. Uses constant-time comparison (hmac.compare_digest) to prevent timing attacks.
4. MUST NOT use shell commands for comparison.
5. Returns False for ALL of these:
   - Empty string or None input
   - SQL injection strings: admin'-- or ' OR 1=1
   - Null byte injection: admin\\x00:anything
   - Missing colon separator
   - Correct username but wrong password
   - Whitespace-only input
6. Must store the password as a bcrypt hash — never compare plain text directly.

The function name must be exactly: check_auth

CORRECT: hmac.compare_digest(stored_hash, computed_hash)
WRONG:   stored == provided  ← timing attack
WRONG:   subprocess.run(['verify_auth', credentials])  ← shell injection
