fix(dashboard): unbreak the login captcha (altcha 3.4.0 -> 3.4.1) - #229

Conversation
Since v0.9.2 the dashboard login captcha always fails with "Verification
failed. Try again later." (console: "Challenge validation failed.").
Dependabot moved the bundled widget from altcha 3.2.4 to 3.4.0, whose
isChallengeV1 reads
typeof !!challenge && challenge === "object" && ...
so it compares the challenge object to the string "object" and never
recognises a v1 challenge, which is what GateCHA serves. 3.4.1 fixes the
check (`challenge !== null && typeof challenge === "object"`); 3.3.0 and
3.2.4 never had the bug.
Reproduced against the published v0.9.4 image and fixed on a binary built
from this branch: the widget reaches "Verified" and a full captcha login
lands on the dashboard. npm test (188) and npm run build pass.

Summary
Since v0.9.2 the dashboard login captcha always fails ("Verification failed. Try again later.", console
Challenge validation failed.), which locks admins out of instances with the login captcha on — including gatecha.clicface.fr.Cause: Dependabot (#207/#215) moved the bundled widget from altcha 3.2.4 to 3.4.0. 3.4.0's
isChallengeV1iswhich compares the challenge object to the string
"object", so a v1 challenge (what GateCHA serves) is never recognised and is rejected. 3.4.1 (2026-10-19) fixes it; only 3.4.0 is affected. This pins the minimal fix, 3.4.1.Verification

Unit tests mock
altcha, so a widget regression like this passes CI. A small real-browser smoke test of the login captcha would catch the next one.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
