fix(security): SHA-256 hash before timingSafeEqual to prevent length leak (#20856)

Browse Source 
The previous implementation returned early when buffer lengths differed,
leaking the expected secret's length via timing side-channel. Hashing both
inputs with SHA-256 before comparison ensures fixed-length buffers and
constant-time comparison regardless of input lengths.
