The Node SDK has no helper to verify incoming webhooks. Add an exported
Webhookclass withverify()andverifyHeaders()methods, plusWebhookVerificationError.The helper checks HMAC-SHA256 signatures against the raw string or Buffer with a constant-time comparison. It checks timestamps with a configurable tolerance (300 seconds by default), checks the delivery header when supplied, and returns decoded JSON only after verification. It accepts multiple v1 signatures and rejects duplicate timestamps and ambiguous headers. The README explains use, error handling, and tolerance behavior.
Validation:
A tolerance of zero accepts only the current second. Timestamp checks do not prevent duplicate delivery within the allowed period; the README explains this limit.
