# reCAPTCHA on Registration and Password Reset
+> **Superseded by `MESHBAY_DESIGN.md`.** This was the registration and reset captcha; its design
+> content now lives in §7.7.
+>
+> It is kept because code comments, tests and other documents cite its
+> sections and its labels, and because it records reasoning a synthesis
+> compresses. **Where it disagrees with `MESHBAY_DESIGN.md`, the design
+> document is right; where either disagrees with the code, the code is.**
+> `MESHBAY_DESIGN.md` §16 maps every section reference here onto its
+> replacement, and §13 defines every label.

> Goal: verify the user is not a bot **before** sending any email — registration
> verification code or password reset code. The captcha gate sits between form
> submission and the email-sending call, so a failed check never triggers an email.
