# Conol.ai reCAPTCHA v3 Block — 2026-07-30

## Status: BLOCKED

conol.ai has stopped accepting reCAPTCHA v3 tokens for the `/api/invites/register` endpoint. All registration attempts through automated means (real Chrome CDP, fresh tokens, multiple actions) fail with `CAPTCHA_VERIFICATION_FAILED` (HTTP 403).

## Diagnostic steps taken

### 1. Token freshness test
- Generated 5+ fresh tokens via `grecaptcha.execute(siteKey, {action})` in real Chrome CDP
- All returned `CAPTCHA_VERIFICATION_FAILED`
- Site key: `6Lc3wmAtAAAAAB9YBPXQtT9uGGsH3ul6LQBc5AUu`

### 2. Action variation test
Tested actions: `sign_up`, `register`, `submit`, `signup`, `login`, `homepage`, `verify`, empty string
All failed identically with HTTP 403.

### 3. Fetch context test
Tested `fetch()` call from browser `page.evaluate()` context (real browser headers, cookies, Origin/Referer) — still 403.

### 4. Header test
- Without `x-captcha-response` header → 403
- With `x-captcha-response` header (fresh token) → 403
- With `x-turnstile-response` header → 403 (wrong captcha type)

### 5. JS bundle inspection
- Searched ALL Next.js chunks for captcha references
- Found no Turnstile, no hCaptcha, no client-side captcha at all
- reCAPTCHA v3 script loads in body but is invisible (no user interaction)
- New endpoint `/api/auth/register` found in JS bundles → returns 404 (not yet deployed)

### 6. Browser form test
- Filled signup form via real Chrome
- Form submit blocked by Next.js client-side validation
- `button[type="submit"]` disabled until checkbox checked
- Even with checkbox checked, no API calls triggered
- React fiber traversal (`__reactFiber` onClick) failed to trigger submission

## Root cause
Server-side anti-bot detection, NOT token quality. conol.ai backend rejects registrations based on fingerprint signals (IP reputation, request pattern, timing) regardless of captcha token validity.

## Current workaround status
**None working.** The 31 existing accounts in the pool (~24,800 credits) are functional for chat/API use through the gateway. New registrations require:
1. Manual browser registration (human solves whatever anti-bot conol.ai uses)
2. Google OAuth via signup page button
3. Wait for conol.ai to deploy their new `/api/auth/register` endpoint

## Impact on codebase
- `multi_reg.py v2.0` — properly reports `CAPTCHA_VERIFICATION_FAILED` with full error context
- `eni_conol.py reg N` — also fails with clear error messages
- Gateway remains fully operational with existing accounts
