This change removes the per-page captcha handling drift and centralizes the policy in one shared validation service.

What changed

  • Added ICaptchaValidationService with explicit outcomes for missing token, unavailable, invalid, and valid captcha states.
  • Switched chat and the identity pages to the shared policy layer.
  • Kept register's detailed hCaptcha error-code mapping intact while preserving the simpler generic messages elsewhere.
  • Added tests for the shared validation behavior.
  • Missing captcha configuration now fails closed instead of allowing requests through.

Notes

  • ICaptchaService still owns raw hCaptcha verification.
  • Chat keeps its existing 403 vs 503 behavior for invalid vs unavailable captcha.

Pull request overview

Consolidates per-page hCaptcha handling into a single ICaptchaValidationService that returns explicit outcomes (Disabled / MissingToken / Unavailable / Invalid / Valid), and updates chat plus the Identity pages (Login, Register, ForgotPassword, ResetPassword, ResendEmailConfirmation) to use it. Register retains its detailed hCaptcha error-code mapping; other callers use a generic message. Adds TUnit tests for the new service.

Changes:

  • New shared service CaptchaValidationService, result record, and outcome enum centralizing captcha policy.
  • Identity pages and ChatController migrated off direct ICaptchaService usage to the shared validation layer.
  • Added CaptchaValidationServiceTests covering disabled, missing token, unavailable, invalid, and valid paths.
