prometheus: standalone identity + first-wave Silent Mode listings
Four changes, one coherent pass:
1. Prometheus gets its own flame mark (SVG, not an emoji). Used in the
topnav brand, in the hero at 88 px, and as the favicon. Replaces the
🔥 glyph in the service and in site/prometheus/index.html.
2. silentmode.st/prometheus is now a brief introduction with two big
buttons (Open prometheus.x · Open apps.silentmode.st mirror) and a
short "what / who / status" block, instead of the full category
grid that duplicated what prometheus.x already renders. The /prometheus
page's job on silentmode.st is "point you at the real site," not host
the content.
3. Footer on the Prometheus service drops the "Silent Mode — a Deviant
project" byline and reframes the sibling-x links as "Also live in the
decentralized web:" so Prometheus reads as its own site rather than a
Silent Mode subpage. Keeps the attribution via the MPL-2.0 + source
link on the final line. aegis.x and pithos.x added to the sibling row.
4. Four Silent Mode apps seeded as first-wave listings
(scripts/seed-listings.json + scripts/seed.mjs). Theseus Navigator,
Ariadne's Thread (Windows + Android), Pithos. Each carries the
project's own SVG icon from public/icons/, pulled from the project's
own site. The seed is a direct-DB insert (not through /api/listing)
with signer_address = chipnet operator and signature = sentinel
`SM_OPERATOR_SEED`; scan_report is an operator-attested envelope
signed by the service key so the display pipeline is unchanged. Run
with `node scripts/seed.mjs`; idempotent (skips existing (publisher,
slug)).
Deliberately NOT seeded: Theseus extensions that have no standalone
form — pdf-editor, docx-editor, shield-blocker, bergamot provider.
They ship via Theseus's own OTA, not as Prometheus listings. Aegis
is in the same boat today (a Theseus bundled add-on without a
standalone binary); its icon is included in public/icons/ for when
it has its own distribution.
Real file sizes + SHAs come from the current dl.silentmode.st manifest
(theseus 0.3.89, ariadne resolver 0.1.13, ariadne android 0.22,
pithos-desktop 0.3.26). When APS1 lands cross-session, these listings
migrate to real on-chain records signed by each project's own publisher
key and the sentinel values go away.

prometheus: taxonomy — Apps / Games / FinTech, with sub-chips inside Apps
Three top-level groups replace the flat eight categories on the home
page and /browse:
Apps 7 sub-categories inside: browsers / communication /
privacy / devtools / media / productivity / other
Games single bucket for now; sub-chips later when there's volume
FinTech single bucket for now (BCH wallets, bridges, POS, DeFi)
Routes:
/t/<slug> top-level page. For Apps shows the 7 sub-chips + an
aggregated listings view across them. For Games and
FinTech shows the listings directly (no sub-chips).
/c/<slug> sub-category page under Apps (browsers, communication, …).
The sole-sub categories /c/games and /c/fintech 301 to
/t/games and /t/fintech respectively, so each view has
exactly one canonical URL.
Slug renames + removals in the CATEGORIES allow-list on listings.js:
utilities → productivity (the display label was already pointing at
that in people's heads — "productivity"
fits storage + sync + file tools better)
wallets → fintech (broader scope: bridges + POS + DeFi,
not just wallets)
games stays as a top-level sole-bucket
browsers NEW sub-category under Apps for BCNR
resolvers, mobile browsers, extensions
Seed listings re-categorised + two slug fixes:
theseus.x/theseus-navigator-win category: other → browsers

name "Ariadne's Thread
(Android)" → "Ariadne
Navigator" (it is a
different program, not a
platform build of Thread);
category: privacy → browsers
pithos.x/pithos-desktop category: utilities → productivity
scripts/migrate-taxonomy.mjs is a one-shot that deletes every row with
signature='SM_OPERATOR_SEED'; a subsequent `seed.mjs` run then inserts
the fresh set with the new slugs. Publisher-POSTed listings (none in
production today) are left alone. Idempotent — a second run finds
nothing to remove.
New icons:
top-apps.svg 2×2 rounded tile grid (OS launcher metaphor)
cat-browsers.svg browser window + 3 chrome dots + content block
Three icons reused: cat-games.svg doubles as the Games top icon,
cat-wallets.svg as the FinTech top icon (same visual, different label);
cat-utilities.svg stays as the Productivity sub icon.
