Everything a site needs past the first screen — an about page, a blog, a
contact page — had to live on that one page or not exist. The folder on Sia
could always hold more; the studio could only ever edit index.html.
Pages are now a list. Each one is a folder with its own index.html, so it
answers to the address a visitor would guess (/about/), and the sidebar
shows that address rather than the file behind it. The title is editable and
the address is not: a published URL that moves is a link somebody else wrote
down and can no longer follow.
Draft and Publish both walk the whole list. Pages that link to each other
are only coherent if they go up together, so there is one button and it
sends everything, writes a sitemap when there is more than one page, and
sweeps deleted pages off Sia in the same pass instead of leaving them
serving. A site saved before this opens as a single home page and gains the
rest when asked.
Two things that would otherwise be quietly wrong: assets exported from a
sub-folder page now carry the ../ that makes them resolve, and loading a
page into the editor no longer registers as an edit.
Sixteen entries in a <select> is a list of words: nobody can tell a blog
from a changelog without loading each one and undoing it. The gallery shows
what each template actually looks like and lets the categories narrow the
field.
The thumbnails are the templates themselves in sandboxed iframes, scaled to
the card. There is no screenshot pipeline to regenerate and nothing to go
stale — a template that breaks shows itself broken on its own card, which is
the point.
Two details the implementation has to get right. The previews are built
while the sheet is still hidden, so lazy loading would mark all sixteen
off-screen and never load any of them. And filtering with display:none tears
down each preview's browsing context, so every tab switch would flash white
while sixteen documents reload; hidden cards go out of flow at zero size
instead.
The first-run picker draws from the same map, so a new template appears in
both places and in the plain list behind them at once. That list stays for
the narrow bar layout.
Two choices do not need a select: a segmented control shows both options at
once, the active one is obvious, and the explanation moves to a short hint
beside it. Arrow keys switch it like a radio group.
The IntersectionObserver-based spy only fired when a section entered a
narrow band 40–45% down the viewport. Short sections at the tail of a
page — Operator key and Roadmap on theseus.x/extensions, whatever came
last on the other pages — never made it into that band because the
page runs out of scroll before their top crosses 40%, so their sidebar
links stayed dim no matter how far the reader scrolled.
Rewrote the spy across every page with a sidebar (theseus.x home /
plug-ins / extensions and sirius.x home / tld / theseus / docs / admin
/ brand): it listens to window scroll, picks the last section whose
top has crossed 35% of the viewport, and — when the window is scrolled
to within 4px of the bottom — snaps to the final section regardless of
where its top is. Every link in the rail can now activate.
theseus.x/extensions also had the spy IIFE bundled with the manifest
loader in one <script> block near the middle of the page, so at run
time the parser hadn't yet reached the last three sections and only
Bundled/Community/Build were ever registered. Moved the spy to its own
<script> just before </body> so it sees every section that ships.
The s3 field asked people for a Sia bucket key. Under Content & hosting it
is now a choice: not hosted on Sia, Sirius.X hosting (free, the name's own
folder on Sia, filled by Studio or the upload API), or another folder for
the few who host elsewhere. The raw key stays editable under the advanced
option; the on-chain record is unchanged.
Every dollar figure on the site came from a hard-coded 250,000 sats per
dollar, which implies $400 per BCH; the market is near $250, so name
prices, TLD fees and sale listings were shown about 60% too cheap in
dollars. The gateway now serves /api/price: the median of Coinbase,
Kraken, Bitstamp, Binance and CoinGecko public tickers, no keys, cached
60 s, last good answer kept if every source fails. The site reads it
first, queries the same tickers itself if the gateway is unreachable,
remembers the last rate per browser, and only falls back to a constant
for the very first paint. Pages repaint when the rate arrives, and the
rate line says where it came from and how old it is.
Units: satoshi no longer appear anywhere. Sale prices, the seller's
input and the buy dialog are in BCH with the dollar figure beside
them; balances, fees and dust are in bits (1 bit = 100 satoshi).
Star emoji swapped for the site's own 4-point sparkle mark — same SVG
that ships as the favicon — everywhere it appeared: the topnav brand,
the hero mark, the "you're here" pill on the family-of-.x panel, the
footer, register.html, portal.html, tld.html, market/, docs/, admin/,
brand/, storage/, theseus/, studio.html, site-footer.js. Anyone who
opens Sirius.X now sees the acid-green sparkle instead of a browser
star emoji.
Internal links normalised to no trailing slash — href="./theseus/"
became href="./theseus" (Theseus, docs, market, admin). Cleaner URLs
in the address bar and no double-slash redirect step on the mirrors.
An Assistant drawer in Sirius Studio with two providers and no key, no
server and no spend. "This browser" runs an open model on the user's
GPU through WebGPU with WebLLM (vendored, Apache-2.0); weights download
once from the MLC mirror and stay in the browser cache. "Local
endpoint" talks to an OpenAI-compatible runtime on the user's machine
(Ollama, LM Studio), which unlocks larger models on a real GPU. Nothing
the user writes or builds leaves their device in either mode.
Three verbs: make a section, rewrite the selected text, restyle the
selection. The model returns HTML and CSS as data; Studio sanitises it
(no scripts, frames, handlers or imports) and inserts it through the
editor, with Undo. Model output is never executed.
The quantisation is chosen per GPU: q4f16 when the adapter exposes
shader-f16, q4f32 otherwise (Pascal-era cards lack it). Small models
often answer with bare HTML instead of JSON, so the parser accepts
both, prompts avoid literal placeholders one model echoed back, and an
out-of-memory or disposed runtime is reported as "pick a smaller
model" with the engine reset. Switching models starts a fresh worker.
Verified on an NVIDIA Pascal card: SmolLM2 360M rewrites text, Qwen2.5
Coder 0.5B builds a section; the 1.5B f32 build exceeded that card's
memory and now fails gracefully.
Sirius Studio only looked in its own folder, bns/<name>/. Every site
published the conventional way lives at bns/<label>/ (the s3 record),
or inline in the h record, so the editor opened those names as "new
site" with a template picker instead of the current build.
The gateway's site read gains a read-only ?src=live view that follows
the on-chain record: list and fetch from whatever bucket s3 points at,
or serve the h HTML as index.html. Writes are unchanged and still
confined to bns/<name>/.
The editor now starts from the live page when there is no draft:
relative image and link URLs are resolved against the public site URL,
stylesheets are inlined (cross-origin ones such as font CDNs are kept
as links and re-emitted on export), scripts dropped. When a draft
exists but the name serves something else, or index.html on Sia is
newer than the draft, a notice says so with a one-click import. An
"Import live site" button is always available. Verified with
aloevera.test, which is hosted at bns/aloevera/.
Reviewed both pages at desktop and phone widths. Desktop was fine; on
phones three things were wrong. The top bar wrapped into four rows
because the font-comparison pill and full-size links all stayed; on
screens under 640px the pill is hidden and links and buttons tighten.
The dashboard menu rendered as five full-width blocks because the
wide-screen width:100% rule outranked the phone override; it is now a
row of pills, the wallet block collapses to one line (short address,
live balance, refresh), and the sub-tabs scroll sideways instead of
wrapping. The long address had also been pushing the whole page wider
than the viewport, fixed with minmax(0,1fr) on the grid column.
The market showed an empty filter bar and a one-line status when there
were no listings; it now shows a proper empty state with the two things
a visitor can do (sell from the dashboard, register a new name) and
hides the filters until there is something to filter. Buy buttons go
full width on phones.
Ariadne's resolver copy and the Android indexer still admitted every
REG under a cosign or hidden TLD, so they disagreed with the gateway
and Theseus about which names exist. Ariadne now carries the current
Argus resolver-web.js verbatim (the copy had drifted: no TLD beacon, no
owner tracking, old electrum list); its daemon only imports buildIndex
and normalizeName, both unchanged. Bns.java gains the same rule in
Java: walk the TLD beacon, keep each TLD's TUPD policy timeline, and
drop a REG whose TLD required a co-signature at that height unless the
transaction re-issues the TLD certificate. If the TLD beacon cannot be
read the mobile index degrades open rather than empty. Needs an APK
build (0.19) and an Ariadne zip rebuild to reach devices.
Dashboard balance: it was read once from the gateway at sign-in and
never again, so payments and spends never showed. The sidebar and
Settings figures now come straight from electrum every 15 seconds
while the tab is visible, after every broadcast the page makes, on tab
focus and on a new refresh button; unconfirmed coins count as spendable
(listunspent includes the mempool) with a small "incl. N sat
unconfirmed" line. The header wallet pill asks the dashboard for a
fresh figure when opened, and the register flow keeps its stored
figure current while it watches for funding.
Two gaps the owner panel left open. First, a hidden TLD was only a UI
gate: anyone could still broadcast a REG under it and every indexer
admitted it. Second, there was no way to sell a name without trusting
the other side.
Co-sign rule (consensus, applied in lockstep by bns.js and
resolver-web.js): a REG under a TLD whose records at that height say
policy "cosign" or hidden 1 is indexed only if the transaction carries
the TLD's own certificate. The certificate can only be spent by the
owner's key and is re-issued to them in the same transaction, so it is
a co-signature nobody can forge and nothing is consumed. The TLD map
now keeps the TUPD timeline so policy is evaluated at the REG height.
Owners register under their private TLDs with the certificate added
from their own wallet; third parties under a "cosign" TLD build the
full transaction, sign their inputs and queue it at /api/cosign, where
the owner approves it from the dashboard (signCosignRequest refuses to
sign unless the certificate returns to the same locking script).
Marketplace: a listing is the seller's certificate input plus a price
output signed SIGHASH_SINGLE|ANYONECANPAY, stored by the gateway as a
bulletin board (/api/market, verified against the on-chain owner and
pruned when the certificate moves). The buyer completes it in one
transaction, so the seller is paid exactly when the name moves.
Cancelling also spends the certificate once so the offer is void.
Site: market.html, Sell sub-tab and Pending approvals in the portal,
Market link in nav and footer, six dictionaries extended, cache tags
bumped. Verified on chipnet: cosigned.sc registered by a throwaway
wallet through the queue with the .sc certificate back at the owner;
aloevera.test listed and delisted through the API.
Ariadne's resolver-web.js copy and the mobile Bns.java port still need
the co-sign rule; until then they admit REGs this index rejects.
The wallet dropdown had become a navigation menu (My names, Admin panel)
while wallet facts were nowhere. Now a Dashboard button sits left of the
wallet pill on every page while signed in, and the wallet menu shows the
address, balance and holdings, copy address / token address, the faucet,
wallet settings and sign out. The admin panel moves into the dashboard
sidebar and only appears for the operator wallet. Translations included.
Studio chrome, template picker, publish dialog, the shorter dashboard
menu and the Settings copy in all six languages. Dictionary cache version
bumped.
Menu, panes, DNS table, transfer, export, settings and the new session
copy get German, Greek, Russian, Spanish, French and Portuguese entries;
Greek and Russian keep the "blockchain" wording. Dictionary cache version
bumped so returning visitors pick the new strings up.
Visitors should not have to read English to register a name. The pages
stay authored in English; js/i18n.js picks the language from the saved
choice, ?lang=, or the browser, fetches i18n/<lang>.json (exact English
text -> translation) and rewrites text nodes, placeholders, titles and the
page title. A MutationObserver keeps script-built content (search rows,
register modal, portal rows, footer, profile menu) translated, so no page
script had to change. A dropdown in the top nav switches languages and
back to English losslessly. Code, hashes, addresses and record keys are
never touched. Ships German, Greek, Russian, Spanish, French and
Portuguese; the docs page keeps its English prose and only gains the
translated chrome.
