/**
 * Cap (capjs.js.org) Validation
 *
 * Verifies the proof-of-work token against the self-hosted Cap Standalone
 * instance via its reCAPTCHA-compatible siteverify endpoint:
 * POST {instance}/{siteKey}/siteverify with a JSON body {secret, response}.
 *
 * The instance URL, site key and secret live on this object (not on the
 * Element) so they survive the encrypted-form serialization round trip:
 * Element::__sleep() only keeps attributes, label, validation and errors.
 *
 * @package Contact Forms
