Added get_team_salary_cap() and exceeds_salary_cap() helper functions to helpers.py with DEFAULT_SALARY_CAP=32.0 and SALARY_CAP_TOLERANCE=0.001 constants. These centralize salary cap logic previously hardcoded as 32.0/32.001 across draft.py and transactions.py. Includes 17 unit tests. Part of feature/dynamic-salary-cap branch refactor.
