- Switch siteverify endpoint to the canonical
`https://api.hcaptcha.com/siteverify`
- Send `remoteip` (recommended by hCaptcha docs) to improve fraud signal
accuracy; the value is the already-validated client IP resolved by
`ipMiddleware`, threaded through via request context
- Add optional `--captcha-sitekey` flag; when set, the sitekey is
forwarded to hCaptcha's siteverify endpoint to prevent tokens issued for
other sites from being accepted
- Add `--log-level` flag to the `serve` command (default `info`),
replacing the previously hardcoded `debug` level across all subcommands;
consolidate the three duplicate logger constructions into a single
`newLogger` method on `serveCfg`
- Add structured `debug`-level logging around each hCaptcha verification
call (request params and response fields including `error_codes`),
observable in production by setting `--log-level debug`

## Summary

Complete genesis configuration and tooling for the `gnoland1` betanet
launch.

### Genesis configuration (`misc/deployments/gnoland1/`)

- **`gen-genesis.sh`** — deterministic genesis generation script. Builds
all example packages, creates governance bootstrap transactions (govDAO
setup, validator registration, chain params), adds deployer + airdrop
balances, and produces a verified `genesis.json`.
- **`govdao_prop1.gno`** — MsgRun executed at genesis to bootstrap
governance: sets up a temporary deployer as sole T1 member, registers
initial validators, locks bank transfers, enables namespace enforcement,
adds manfred as T1 member, then locks down the memberstore.
- **`config.toml`** — reference node config with `# TODO` markers for
operator-specific fields (moniker, external address, persistent peers,
seeds).
- **`Makefile`** — `make help`, `make generate` (with sha256
verification), `make test` (boots a node to validate genesis block
execution), `make clean`.
- **`README.md`** — 5-step validator setup guide (generate, build,
configure, start, verify+join).

### Genesis validators (7, BFT >2/3 → 5 must be up)

gnocore-val-01, gnocore-val-02, moul-val-01, aeddi-val-01, berty-val-01,
samourai-crew-1, onbloc-val-01

### GovDAO scripts (`govdao-scripts/`)

Post-genesis operational scripts for govDAO members:
- `add-validator.sh` / `rm-validator.sh` — add/remove validators via
govDAO proposal
- `add-validator-from-valopers.sh` — add validator registered at
`r/gnops/valopers`
- `extend-govdao-t1.sh` — one-time bootstrap: adds 6 T1 members (Jae,
Morgan, Ray, Dongwon, Maxwell, Milos)
- `unrestrict-account.sh` — allow address(es) to transfer ugnot when
bank is locked

### Node changes

- **`-x-early-start` flag** (`tm2/pkg/bft/node/node.go`,
`gno.land/cmd/gnoland/start.go`) — experimental flag that starts RPC +
P2P before genesis time, deferring only consensus. Helps validators
discover each other and sync before the chain starts producing blocks.

## Test plan

- [x] `make generate` produces a deterministic `genesis.json` with
matching sha256
- [x] `make test` boots a node and validates genesis block execution
- [x] Node starts with `--skip-genesis-sig-verification` and syncs
- [x] `-x-early-start` starts RPC/P2P early, consensus waits for genesis
time
- [x] GovDAO scripts execute successfully post-genesis

Add the legal notice required by the legal team to the gnoweb footer,
with links to three legal documents (Gno GPL License, Network
Interaction Terms, and Contributor License Agreement). Also add
`TERMS.md` and` CLA.md` at the repo root with the full legal text
provided by counsel.

**Footer (gnoweb):**

- Replace the former "Legal" section (_Terms_ + _Privacy_ pointing to
the same `LICENSE.md`) with a proper legal notice paragraph and three
named legal document links (Gno GPL License, Network Interaction Terms,
Contributor License Agreement)
- Restructure the footer layout into two zones: navigation + social
links on top, full-width legal disclaimer below
- Navigation links now sit inline with the logo (`.nav-primary, 7 grid
columns`), social links occupy the right column (.`nav-social, 3 grid
columns`)

**Legal documents:**

- `TERMS.md`: Gno.land Network Interaction Terms (sections covering
content ownership, on-chain licensing, disclaimers, etc.)
- `CLA.md `: Gno.land Contributor License Agreement (sections covering
copyright/patent grants, contributor representations, CLA Hash
mechanism, etc.)
