+Verifies a payload remotely by calling ALTCHA Sentinel's `POST /v1/verify/signature` API, instead of verifying the HMAC signature locally.
+
+| Option | Type | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `payload` | `string \| ServerSignaturePayload \| Record<string, unknown>` | The payload to verify, as received from `POST /v1/verify`. |
+| `url` | `string` | Full URL of the Sentinel `/v1/verify/signature` endpoint. |
+| `secret` | `string?` | API key secret. If provided, Sentinel checks that it matches the API key associated with the payload. |
+| `fetch` | `typeof fetch?` | Custom fetch implementation. Defaults to the global `fetch`. |
+| `headers` | `Record<string, string>?` | Additional headers to send with the request. |
+| `controller` | `AbortController?` | For cancelling the verification request. |
+| `timeout` | `number?` | Per-attempt request timeout in milliseconds. Defaults to `10000`. |
+| `retries` | `number?` | Number of retry attempts after the first try. Defaults to `0`. |
+| `retryDelay` | `number?` | Base delay in milliseconds between retries. Defaults to `300`. |
