Scroll to last move, Qd3#, and back up to White’s pawn move right before the checkmate. It will say a certain knight move was best, so preform the knight move. Then do Qd3+/#, and computers shows up as only a check.
It says Qd3# for me.

Okay. Must just be on my end.

If you play the knight move then Qd3 is only a check (the king can escape to d1).
Ah! How could I have missed that? Well, perhaps I should take a little nap. Thank you. How silly of me.

I ask myself that whenever I hang mate in 1...
eh
I went to review a game I played and won, and found a similar way to checkmate. But the engine/coach shows it as “d3+ is best”, when it should say “d3# is best”. I looked, and I think it is checkmate. Did I miss a move that made it still a going game?
