From 51705056a578d2649a989bf14a056fbcfae58a6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Besson Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 13:34:47 +0200 Subject: feat(hub): replace reCAPTCHA with a self-hosted proof of work Sign-up and passphrase reset sent every visitor's address and browser details to Google, which needed a consent the sign-up form could not ask for freely. The hub now issues its own challenge (ALTCHA's scheme, signed with a key derived from the hub's private key, single-use, 30 minutes) and the page solves it with SubtleCrypto while the form is filled in. - GET /v1/users/captcha issues a challenge; 404 captcha_disabled when off. - [captcha] enabled / max_number replace site_key / secret_key, which are now ignored with a warning; MESHBAY_CAPTCHA_ENABLED replaces the old variables. - No Google origin left in the CSP of the hub, the desktop shell or the Android shell; captcha_site_key leaves /v1/hub/info.
