Until now the desktop app only ran from a source checkout, so Pithos was
really usable only inside Theseus. electron-builder (the version Theseus
uses) now makes an NSIS installer and a portable exe; s3d is still fetched
on first run by the checksum-checked installer, so the app stays small and
never ships an s3d it did not verify. Icons are rendered from ui/icon.svg.
Quitting also no longer waits on idle keep-alive sockets before exiting.
s3d is driven entirely by a CLI and a two-route admin API, which keeps
Sia storage out of reach for anyone who does not live in a terminal.
Pithos wraps it: install the pinned s3d release (checksum verified),
start/stop and logs, indexer login, users and access keys, a bucket and
object browser with share links and public-read policies, and the
upload pipeline stats.
One control server (core/) serves one UI (ui/), and three hosts run it:
a web console, an Electron desktop window and a Theseus add-on, so a
feature lands everywhere at once. The server binds loopback, rejects
foreign Host headers, and signs views in with a one-time secret that
becomes a SameSite=Strict cookie. s3d login reads the recovery phrase
with term.ReadPassword, so it is driven through a pty, with a console
window fallback where the pty module is not shipped.
