Three doc-alignment changes shipping in AriadneResolver-Setup-0.1.0.exe
sha256 c5efae43af6cc163f468f1dc73d08939db32a9a6db52298ba18b2d9a2aee1292:
1. install.ps1 fetches the activated TLD list from the on-chain root
TLD certificate (tlds.bch, per START-HERE §1) via
resolver-web.js fetchBcnrTlds(), then:
- regenerates the CA's nameConstraints extension from that list
(rotates the CA when the on-chain set changes so leaves for the
newly-activated TLDs actually validate)
- adds one NRPT rule per activated TLD in surgical mode
- falls back to bootstrap ["bch"] if the chain is unreachable
Result: adding a TLD on-chain is picked up by re-running the
installer, no code release needed.
2. bnsd.js honors --policy / BNS_POLICY (bcnr-first | icann-first,
alias bns-first) per START-HERE §4b. bcnr-first is default and
preserves prior behavior. icann-first forwards to upstream first
and only substitutes a BCNR answer on NXDOMAIN. install.ps1
accepts -Policy and passes it into the scheduled task action.
3. ca.js loadOrCreateRootCA() now accepts a runtime TLD list; the
old callers still work (fall back to PERMITTED_TLDS from tlds.js).
Doc: RESOLVER-PACKAGING-PROMPT.md rewritten to reflect current
shipping reality; original 2026-07-26 packaging brief preserved
in the "Archival" section.
Deployed to dl.silentmode.st (nginx serves from /opt/silent-mode/dl/)
and mirrored to Sia bns/silentmode/. VPS bns-indexer.service reports
tlds.bch currently activates: bch p2p deviant nav sia dgb nt sm lm.
Was only .bch. The daemon and CA already handle these four TLDs; the NRPT
rule was the missing piece that made .p2p / .bit / .nav queries never reach
the daemon at all (they went to ICANN's normal DNS and NXDOMAIN'd).
Dual TLDs (.de .ru .dev .ltd) intentionally NOT here. They need the
daemon's DNS-forwarding path to work reliably for unregistered names,
and there's still an open EDNS/AAAA forwarding bug in bnsd.js that
would break most German/Russian sites if we NRPT'd .de.
Adding more native TLDs (.x .sia .dgb .nt from Theseus's expanded set)
needs a CA rotation first — the current CA's nameConstraints only permit
bch/p2p/bit/deviant/nav/test/bcnr. Deferred.
- Security popover redesigned to resemble Firefox's site-info panel:
lock/shield hero, "Connection secure" status, host, plain-language
subtitle, and a details grid; the overlay view auto-sizes to content.
- Search-engine picker returned to the toolbar with an "Add / edit engines…"
entry that opens Settings; added Ecosia, Mojeek, Presearch.
- Custom search engines: add (name + URL template with %s) / remove in
Settings > General; used by address-bar search.
- Address-bar placeholder: "Ask a search engine or enter web address".
