    Use system.check_name() and system.check_realname()

    These are the most-correct way of check user name/alias and real name validity.

    chksetup.js: detect msgbase/sub-board allocation configuration mismatch

    Add a check_sub_cfgs test for a message base whose status header carries
    the SMB_HYPERALLOC attribute while its sub-board is not configured for hyper-allocation (and the reverse). The former mismatch arms the header corruption of issue #1181 (fixed by commit 7b48c6a6bb / ways-3-purpose): votes/polls stored with the configured fast or self-pack storage mode
    would overwrite existing headers of the hyper-allocated base.

    chksetup.js: don't report hyper-configured sub with not-yet-hyper msgbase

    Converting a message base from hyper-allocated to another allocation mode
    is not supported (that mismatch, introduced in commit f5d984105b / quote-66-ends, is still reported), but the reverse is a supported
    transition: a base created with fast or self-pack allocation becomes hyper-allocated upon the next post after the sub-board is configured for hyper-allocation, so don't report that direction as a configuration
    mismatch.

    This reverts commit 6c79578d50 (hepatitis-6-talk): the hyper-allocation
    status attribute vs configuration flag mismatch should be reported in
    either direction.

    chksetup.js: check the DOVE-Net (VERT) QWK hub settings

    A new check_dove_net_hub test reads the [qhub:VERT] section of msgs.ini
    (when present and enabled) and reports settings that degrade DOVE-Net
    messages:

    - "Include HEADERS.DAT File" = No: the hub then receives none of the
    extended header fields (Message-ID, time zone, seconds, editor,
    columns, organization, etc.)
    - "Include Kludge Lines" = Yes while HEADERS.DAT is included: redundant
    - "Include VOTING.DAT File" = No
    - Ctrl-A Codes not set to "Leave in" (i.e. Strip or Expand)

    Prompted by a DOVE-Net Ads post whose origin system has never sent
    HEADERS.DAT, leaving no way to tell from the header how it was posted.

    chksetup.js: expect 25 DOVE-Net sub-boards (24 outside JSexec)

    The AI Discussion and AI Playground conferences added to the stock
    msgs.ini in b4ef898195 (haven-23-icon, 2026-09-21) weren't counted, so check_dove_net reported "25 sub-boards configured (instead of the
    expected: 23)" on a correctly configured system.
