Prevent automated registrations with managed Turnstile verified server-side before account creation, Fider provisioning, or registration delivery.
Preserve existing validation, IP throttling, auditing, and successful provisioning. Add accessible challenge recovery, responsive/theme-aware widgets, sanitized diagnostics, and setup/rollback documentation. Also limit verification-email resends to one per minute and five per hour per account while keeping verification links challenge-free.
Verification:
--env=testing -d memory_limit=1G); existing duplicate-constant warnings remain.Deployment requires
TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY,TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY, andTURNSTILE_ALLOWED_HOSTNAMESbefore enabling this release; missing configuration blocks registration. Live Cloudflare verification remains a deployment-time check. No new dependencies or database migrations.Fixes #999
