Two bugs on the docs page:
1. ol.steps li used display:grid with 30px/1fr columns and mapped every
direct element child to column 2. Text nodes between <b> and <code>
became anonymous grid items placed by autoflow — they landed in the
30px counter column and every word wrapped one-per-line. Replaced
with padding + absolute-positioned counter so inline content flows
naturally. Visually identical, minus the bug.
2. Two navigations on the same page: the fixed .sidenav rail with 6
icon shortcuts, and the inline sticky .toc with the full 12-section
contents index. Merged the 12 sections into .sidenav (each with an
icon) and dropped the .toc entirely. .doc-grid collapses to a
single, width-capped column so the content column has more room.
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 Sirius.X sub-page carried the old header shape — "Try it" and
"Register" living in the topnav next to the cross-site tabs — so
clicking Market or TLD reset the layout back to a state the index no
longer used. Rewrote each topnav to the site-only tabs (Sirius.X · TLD
· Market · Theseus.X · Sign in) and appended ".X" to the Theseus tab
so the ecosystem naming is consistent across pages.
Added the overlay side-nav to every page that carries named sections:
tld.html — Search · Registered
theseus/ — Download · How · Verify
docs/ — TLD registry · Register · Private TLDs ·
Market · Records · Signed records
admin/ — Sign in · Session · Mint TLD · Registry
brand/ — Logo · Avatar · Banner · Palette · Typography ·
Usage (section IDs added — the h2s were unnamed)
Same shape as the index and as Theseus.X: pointer-events:none overlay,
opacity 0.35 by default, ink + blurred backdrop on hover, acid green
on the active section, IntersectionObserver scroll-spy. Icon rail on
medium, bottom bar on mobile.
Pages without meaningful anchor targets (market/, portal.html,
studio.html, register.html) keep the trimmed topnav but no sidebar —
adding an empty rail would just be noise.
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.
theseus.x, sirius.x and hephaestus.x had a 1px border-bottom under the
sticky/fixed topnav that read as a visible separator between the
navigation and the page. The topnav's own translucent-blur backdrop is
enough of a distinction already — the line is redundant and, on the
theseus.x sidebar layout, made the top of the sidebar look like it was
overhanging the header.
theseus.x tabs also had a "Sirius .X" gap because the topnav <a> is a
flex container and the icon + "Sirius" text + ".X" span were three
flex items with a 6px gap between each. Wrapping the label in one
<span> collapses the gap to a single space between icon and label.
Sidebar border-right and mobile bottom-bar border-top also dropped —
the panel tint carries the boundary; a hard line was too heavy.
Pages such as potidaea.asm put their background on <html> and leave
<body> transparent; the editor's base stylesheet paints <body> white,
so the imported page showed light text on white. The canvas body now
stays transparent, which also matches the exported page.
The gateway's public name route sends Access-Control-Allow-Origin so
Studio on sirius.x can fetch a page's stylesheets and inline them
instead of falling back to links; the route only serves public content.
The language picker had no toolbar to attach to in Studio and floated
over the blocks panel; pages can now mark a slot for it and Studio does.
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.
The two features shipped without a user-facing explanation; the docs
page now has a section on the three TLD switches (hidden, cosign,
frozen), how the co-sign rule is enforced by every resolver and what
each side does in the approval flow, and a section on one-transaction
name sales with the trust model and the market endpoints.
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.
The dashboard was capped at 1200px with single-column lists, so a
1920px display showed a narrow strip of cards. Above 1280px it now
widens to 1720px with a 260px sidebar, name/TLD lists become card
grids (auto-fill, 360-400px columns), and Settings and TLD detail lay
their cards out in two or three columns. Narrow screens are unchanged.
The header Dashboard button was hidden until sign-in, which left new
visitors with no obvious way in; it is now always shown and lands on
the portal's sign-in when signed out.
Also closes a Settings-pane markup bug: the Wallet card ended one div
early, which pushed the "Reading, language & help" and "This device"
cards outside the pane so they appeared under every other pane.
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.
The portal was a flat page with tabs that asked for the password or PIN on
every visit and offered little beyond a records form. Owners need a
control panel they can live in.
Sign in once: the recovery phrase is kept encrypted under a
non-extractable browser key (IndexedDB) so the next visit opens the
dashboard silently; sign-out or the Settings toggle destroys it. Payments
approve with one click unless "Ask for PIN before payments" is on.
Dashboard: left menu (Overview, Domain names, My TLD list, Wallet,
Register name/TLD, Settings). Per-name detail with a summary, a DNS
record table (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, NS, SRV, CAA) that signs the
manifest, content & hosting (h, s3, p, ip, tls), a redirect tab (u),
ownership transfer (UPD that re-issues the certificate to the recipient)
and zone-file/JSON export. Per-TLD detail with policy, on/off, owner
registration and the public list of names under it. Overview flags names
that point nowhere or lack DNS.
Same reasoning as the Russian fix: "αλυσίδα" is a literal "chain" that
Greek readers do not use for a blockchain, which is normally written as
the loanword. Every Greek string now uses "blockchain" with the neuter
article in the right case. Dictionary cache version bumped.
"Цепочка" is a literal rendering of "chain" that Russian readers do not
use for a blockchain. The headline now states plainly that these are
domain names on the blockchain, and every other Russian string uses
"блокчейн" in the right case. Dictionary cache version bumped so
returning visitors pick up the new wording.
The native select sat mid-nav next to the font pill and was easy to miss.
Replace it with a custom dropdown placed just before the wallet button:
globe icon, the current language's flag and native name, a menu of all
languages with flags. Flags are tiny inline SVGs rather than emoji
(Windows renders flag emoji as bare letters) or a flag CDN (no third-party
request from the visitor's browser). Painted on window load so it lands
after the deferred nav scripts; keyboard: arrows, Escape, click outside.
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.
A TLD owner needed to run their namespace without the operator: set what
every name under the TLD sells for, take the TLD off the public registry
for a while, and still register names under it themselves.
Both settings live on chain in the TLD's TUPD records (`price`, `hidden`)
because changes are rare and every client already walks the TLD beacon.
The gateway's /api/tlds now carries records, owner, price_usd and
hidden_by per TLD; pricing.js quotes the owner price ahead of the length
tiers and only trusts a TLD_BEACON-sourced list; the register flow refuses
hidden and frozen TLDs for the public but lets the owner through at the
platform share only (the 90% owner cut would be paid to themselves). The
portal's TLDs tab loads real holdings, shows price and on/off state, and
gives each TLD a one-click switch, a price/policy editor and an inline
"register a name under .tld" form. Docs and the design table describe the
two new records.
Design translated from the /design canvas review. Sirius.X now shares
Deviant's "signal" theme background (layered sky-rim/mid gradients over
#050810) and the Silent Mode family typography stack.
Typography:
Fraunces (opsz variable serif) headings h1/h2/h3
DM Sans body / UI
JetBrains Mono code, hashes, mono cells
Ubuntu opt-in Bitcoin Cash brand font,
swaps everything at :root when
<html data-font-cmp="ubuntu">
All via Google Fonts, one <link> per page.
Font picker (js/theme.js):
Small pill in the topnav (Fraunces default / Ubuntu alt) — persisted
to localStorage.sirius-font. Sets the data-font-cmp attribute; the
swap CSS lives in each page's <style> block so !important overrides
page-local font-family declarations at the necessary specificity.
Mono elements stay JetBrains Mono under both fonts.
Palette (cool sky vs old flat dark navy):
--bg #0b0e14 → #050810
--panel2 #18202c → #0a0f1c (matches Deviant --sky-mid)
--line rgba(255,255,255,.09) → .06
--ink #e7eaf1 → #f1f4fa
--mut #8b98a9 → #b8c2d4
--dim #5e6678 → #6a7488
new: --sky-rim #131a2a, --chain-native #0AC18E (BCH brand green,
reserved for chain-native badges/proofs like the Bitcoin.Cash
body copy)
Copy — "no renewals" softened everywhere it appeared. Renewals will
be a per-TLD policy set by each TLD owner; the flat claim was wrong
across the board. Landing card, tld.html hero and body, plus the
og:description all updated.
Applied to: index.html, portal.html, tld.html, theseus/index.html,
brand/index.html, docs/index.html, admin/index.html.
TLD price tiers (pricing.js):
1 char $500 (was $10)
2 char $250 (was $8)
3 char $150 (was $6)
4-6ch $100 (was $5)
7-10ch $50 (was $5)
11+ch $25 (was $4)
Payment approval (register-flow.js):
New stepApprove(...) gates the actual sign+broadcast on an explicit
user gesture — PIN pad when a PIN blob exists on this device, wallet
password otherwise. Same "3 wrong PINs → wipe, fall back to password"
behavior as the sign-in unlock step. Wired between stepConfirm(Tld)?
and stepRegister(Tld)? so both name mints and TLD mints require
approval even when the wallet is already in memory.
tld.html fee card: reflects the new $25–$500 range instead of the
"≈ 1,250,000 sat · ≈ $5" placeholder.
Removes the sessionStorage plaintext-mnemonic cache (fixed under the
same commit) and replaces it with a PIN-encrypted blob in localStorage.
No plaintext secret ever touches disk or memory outside the live
BuiltInWallet object.
New js/pin-escrow.js — WebCrypto PBKDF2(50k) + AES-GCM(256). Public
API on window.siriusPin: savePinBlob(mnemonic, pin), tryUnlock(pin),
hasPin(), attemptsUsed(), attemptsRemaining(), clear(), MAX_ATTEMPTS.
Iteration count is lighter than BuiltInWallet's 250k because a 4-6
digit PIN's key space is small anyway; the point is 'not plaintext at
rest,' not brute-force resistance — the durable secret is the full
password.
register-flow.js:
- After a fresh password unlock (Import / Create / Unlock), stepSetPin
offers a 4-6 digit PIN with confirm — skippable with 'Not now'.
Never overwrites an existing PIN blob.
- stepUnlock now shows a numeric PIN pad when a PIN blob is present;
the password field only appears when the user opts to 'Use password
instead' or after the blob was wiped.
- Wrong PIN → increment counter, surface 'N attempts left'. Third
wrong PIN → wipe blob and route to a 'PIN reset' screen that hands
off to the password form.
- Correct PIN → decrypt the mnemonic in-browser, rebuild the
BuiltInWallet, finishSignIn(). Attempt counter resets to 0.
profile-menu.js:
- Sign-out clears the PIN blob (via siriusPin.clear()) alongside the
siriusProfile so the device isn't quick-unlockable with a stale PIN.
All pages that host the sign-in flow now include pin-escrow.js. Same
tabbed layout in stepUnlock — the PIN pad and the password field both
live under 🔓 Unlock, transparent tab-switch works exactly as before.
Verified live:
- Fresh Import → 'Set a PIN' step → 4242 confirmed → blob written
- Reload → PIN pad, 3 attempts remaining
- Correct PIN 4242 → signed in, counter resets to 0
- 3 wrong PIN attempts → 'Wrong PIN — N attempts left' per attempt,
then 'PIN locked — enter your full password to continue', blob
wiped, next reload shows the password form
- localStorage contains only ciphertext + salt + iv + counter; no
plaintext mnemonic anywhere on disk or in sessionStorage.
Two features:
1. Operator can hide TLDs from the public /api/tlds listing so hidden
TLDs stop appearing in name-search UIs. On-chain registrations
under a hidden TLD keep resolving — this is a UX filter, not
enforcement.
Gateway (public-gateway.mjs):
- Persistent HIDDEN_TLDS set backed by hidden-tlds.json next to
the service script
- GET /api/tld-visibility -> {hidden:[...]} (public)
- POST /api/tld-visibility -> updates the list (operator-gated by
Bearer BNS_OPERATOR_TOKEN env var; if unset, all writes refused
so we default-deny)
- /api/tlds filters out HIDDEN_TLDS; add ?include_hidden=1 to see
everything (used by the admin panel to show all rows)
- Operator token installed via systemd override on the VPS
Admin panel:
- New 'Operator token' card at the top of the TLD-registry section;
token stored in sessionStorage (not localStorage) so a full
browser close forgets it
- Each TLD row got a 'Hidden from public' checkbox that POSTs on
toggle and refreshes the table; failures roll back the checkbox
and surface the error next to the token field
2. Wallet dropdown restored to 4 direct actions
(Unlock / Create a wallet / Import a wallet / WizardConnect) and
the shared mint/sign-in modal grew a tab strip so users can switch
between the four wallet actions from any step without going back
to a choice screen.
register-flow.js:
- renderTabs(active) prepended to stepCreate/stepImport/stepUnlock/
stepExternal when signInOnly is set. Unlock tab only appears
when a saved wallet exists.
- Delegated click handler on the sheet routes tab clicks to the
matching step; switching away from a live WC session tears it
down first so we don't leak WebSockets.
profile-menu.js:
- Restored 4-item onboarding menu (Create/Import/WC plus Unlock
when saved). Each item is a direct entry point; the tabbed modal
lets the user pivot to any other option without closing.
Cache-buster bumped on all 8 sirius-x pages to ?v=20260908tabs.
Two changes:
1. Wallet dropdown simplified from three direct-action items into one
'Sign in or create wallet' launcher (plus 🔓 Unlock when a saved
wallet is present). The single item opens the shared modal at
stepWallet — the choice screen showing all four options (Unlock /
Create / Import / WizardConnect) as clear cards. Clicking a card
reveals its form. Users see the options first, then commit to a
path, instead of landing on a form for one path without seeing the
others.
register-flow.js's stepWallet grew a signInOnly-aware header ('Sign
in or create a wallet' / 'Pick one. Your keys stay in this browser')
so the choice screen reads as sign-in context, not a name mint.
startSignIn still accepts direct-mode entry points (new/import/wc/
unlock) for deep-links like portal.html?mode=X, but the nav dropdown
funnels to 'choose' for the choice-first experience.
2. Theseus subpage copy updated per request: 'native .bch / BCNR name
resolution built in' -> 'native Bitcoin Cash Domain Names resolution
built in'. Meta description mirrored.
Previously, the only way to unlock a wallet that had been saved in this
browser was to click Register (name or TLD), open the modal, and pick
'Unlock my browser wallet' from the wallet-choice step. From the nav
dropdown you could only start onboarding fresh (New / Import / WC).
profile-menu.js now checks localStorage for the BuiltInWallet's storage
key (bns.wallet.v1) at every render, and when a saved wallet is present
inserts a '🔓 Unlock my wallet' item at the top of the not-signed-in
dropdown — with a divider below it, so it reads as the primary action
and the Onboarding options stay available for adding a different wallet.
The dropdown click handler already lazy-loads register-flow.js and
calls window.siriusSignInWallet(action); register-flow.js's startSignIn
grew an 'unlock' mode that opens the modal directly at stepUnlock (the
password prompt). Same success path as every other sign-in: on unlock
success, siriusProfile is written and the modal closes with '✓ Signed
in' — the nav pill flips to the address without a reload.
Verified end-to-end on landing: saved wallet detected -> dropdown shows
Unlock as first item -> click -> password -> '✓ Signed in' -> pill
becomes 'qqyx49…zx8x seed ▾' with no reload. TLD mint from tld.html
also verified end-to-end: search 'e2etldtest' -> Register -> modal ->
Unlock -> password -> Fund -> Confirm (fee 1,250,000 sat + beacon dust
~1,300 sat) -> Register -> checking-availability -> loading-coins ->
'wallet is empty' (expected without chipnet funds; downstream code is
the same registerTldWithBuiltInWallet path the CLI uses).
Two UX polishes:
1. Register-tab icon flipped from 🪪 (identification-card emoji, renders
as a hollow box in system-ui fonts without extended emoji) to ✏️
(pencil), which reads as 'edit/create' and ships in every emoji font
worth targeting. Changed across the nav on all 8 pages plus the
footer injector's Product column. Kept the Register nav item — six
items total in the nav, and from any subpage it's one click to the
search on landing.
2. tld.html no longer duplicates the wallet-choice + mint flow inline.
The Register button on a search result now hands the label off to
the shared register-flow.js modal — same modal that name registration
uses — via a new window.siriusRegisterTld(label, {serviceFeeSats})
entry point.
register-flow.js grew:
- startTldFlow / window.siriusRegisterTld: sets state.tld and walks
the modal through wallet-choice → Fund → stepConfirmTld → stepRegisterTld
→ stepDoneTld
- stepConfirmTld: shows label + fee + owner, no per-name quote
- stepRegisterTld: dispatches to registerTldWithBuiltInWallet or
registerTldWithExternalWallet based on state.wallet/state.session
- stepDoneTld: 'X is yours' with txid + certificate id + operator
address, no record editor (a TLD certificate has no records to
set immediately)
- stepWallet / stepExternalConfirm branch on state.tld so the modal
heading and the WC-confirm path route correctly
tld.html trimmed: removed the entire signin-section + mint-section
plus their inline handlers (~250 lines gone). Now just search +
registered-TLDs list + a delegator to the shared modal. If a user
is already signed in via the wallet dropdown, the modal recognises
the saved wallet ('Unlock my browser wallet' button appears) instead
of asking them to sign in again on this page.
Wallet dropdown items (New / Import / WizardConnect) were navigating
to portal.html?mode=X and asking the user to click again on arrival.
That is 'the sign in landing page which is not functioning' from the
user's perspective — a whole redirect for one form.
Now every dropdown item opens the mint modal (register-flow.js) inline
at the matching step, on whatever page the user is on:
New -> stepCreate ('Create your wallet' — password + generate)
Import -> stepImport ('Import a recovery phrase' — textarea)
WizardConnect -> stepExternal ('Open your wallet' — QR/URI)
register-flow.js grew a signInOnly mode: state.name is null, the step
Back buttons close instead of going to a wallet-choice step there is
no context for, and on wallet-loaded the flow writes siriusProfile
and shows a 'Signed in' confirmation instead of Fund -> Confirm -> Mint.
WC signInOnly keeps the session alive (state.session) so a later
record edit can reuse it without a fresh QR handshake.
profile-menu.js: menu items became <a data-action='new|import|wc'>
and the click handler lazy-loads register-flow.js on demand — the
docs/brand/theseus pages don't ship it in their initial payload, so
their nav pill loads it the first time a wallet button is clicked and
caches it for subsequent opens. Falls back to portal.html?mode=X if
the module can't load. Cache-buster bumped so cached copies pick up
the new behavior.
Importmap for @bitauth/libauth added to docs/, brand/, theseus/ so
the bundle's bare specifier resolves when register-flow.js is
lazy-loaded from those pages.
Verified end-to-end on the live docs page: all three dropdown items
open the modal inline at the correct step, no console errors, no
navigation.
Register.html and the landing were running duplicate name-search UIs.
The register one was reported broken; the landing one already works
inline. Merged both into the landing:
- New js/register-flow.js — the full mint modal + wallet setup (Create /
Import / Unlock / WizardConnect / Fund / Confirm / Register / Point
it somewhere) extracted from register.html's <script type='module'>
and turned into a shared module. Injects its own scoped modal HTML +
CSS into the host page on load and exposes
window.siriusRegisterName(fullName) as its public entry point.
- Landing search results now have Register buttons that call the shared
flow directly. The whole 'search -> pick name -> mint' journey stays
on one page, no redirects, no duplicate search UI to maintain.
- register.html reduced to a redirect stub: preserves ?q= if present,
refreshes/JS-forwards to './' (landing), and shows a one-line
'Name search moved to the home page' fallback for JS-off users.
Old links keep working; no /register.html deep links are broken.
- All nav 'Register' entries now point at './#search-input' (or
'../#search-input' on subpages), scrolling straight to the landing
search box. Footer injector and every internal href updated the
same way. Zero live href='.../register.html' left in the tree.
Verified: register.html?q=hello redirects to /?q=hello; landing
search 'fresh42abc' -> Register button -> modal opens with
'Register fresh42abc.bch' at the wallet-choice step.
The nav's 'Theseus' link showed a generic 🧭 emoji, which renders
differently in every browser/OS and does not match theseus.x's
actual brand mark. Replaced with a small inline SVG of theseus.x's
compass (rounded dark square, N-half red, S-half acid) at 14x14 so
the button now carries theseus.x's real logo — recognisable and
identical everywhere.
Inlined the SVG rather than pointing at a shared asset so there's no
extra request per page and no relative-path arithmetic between root
and subdir pages. Applied to all 8 pages: landing, portal, register,
tld, theseus, docs, brand, admin.
Nav consistency: subpages had Try it → Theseus → Register → TLD while
the landing had Try it → Register → TLD → Theseus. Reordered every
page to the landing's order, so the top nav is identical everywhere:
Sirius.X | Try it | 🪪 Register | 🌐 TLD | 🧭 Theseus | 🔑 Sign in
(Admin adds its own 🛠 Admin between Theseus and Sign in since Admin
is the current page.)
Theseus subpage now carries Theseus.X's own branding: the compass
favicon (N-half red, S-half acid) copied from silentmode.st/bns/
theseus.x/assets/ lives under site-sirius-x/theseus/assets/, and the
subpage references it for <link rel=icon>, <link rel=mask-icon>, and
og:image. og:site_name flipped from 'Sirius.X' to 'Theseus Navigator'.
Hero mark swapped from the generic 🧭 emoji to the actual compass
SVG at 72px with a soft acid glow, so the page reads as Theseus at a
glance instead of borrowing Sirius's star.
Sign-in end-to-end verified on the live site:
- Landing dropdown → New wallet → portal auto-generates 12-word phrase
- Ack + Continue → me section revealed, siriusProfile written with
{address, tokenAddress, source: 'seed', signedInAt}
- Nav pill updates to 'qzc2vx…yn93 seed ▾' without reload
- Sign out → profile cleared, portal reset, pill back to 'Wallet ▾'
- Wallet address derives deterministically from the fresh mnemonic
(BuiltInWallet.create → deriveSeedFromBip39Mnemonic → HD path)
Three UX fixes:
1. Beautiful footer on every page. Extracted the 4-column landing footer
into js/site-footer.js — reads the nav brand link to derive per-page
base ('./' at root, '../' in subdirs) so links resolve from any depth
without duplicating the HTML across 8 pages. Every page now ships an
empty <footer id="site-footer"></footer> and includes the injector;
inline footer + its CSS block removed from landing too so the source
stays in one place.
2. Wallet button redesign. Pill now shows a state dot (dim when not
signed in, green with subtle glow when signed in), a monospace short
address label when signed in ('qra6rs…7yl2') OR 'Wallet' when not,
a WC/seed badge on signed-in state, and a subtle caret. Full border
and hover states, proper aria-expanded/aria-label wiring. Dropdown
menu itself upgraded: grid layout per item (icon column + title +
hint), heavier backdrop blur, larger min-width, clearer typography.
3. Dropdown options actually do something. Removed the redundant 'Open
sign-in page →' item — the other three all land on portal too, so
listing 'open the page' as a fourth option was noise. On portal
arrival, the ?mode= handler now AUTO-TRIGGERS the primary action for
each mode:
new -> click Generate a phrase (12 words appear immediately)
import -> focus the seed textarea (cursor ready to paste)
wc -> click Connect wallet (WC session starts, URI shown)
No extra clicks between dropdown choice and the flow it names.
Cache-buster on the profile-menu.js include bumped to
?v=20260907wallet so cached copies pick up the new design; footer
injector at ?v=20260907rel.
Moved secondary destinations (Docs, Roadmap, Brand, Silent Mode) out
of the top nav and into a proper site footer on the landing:
Top nav (all pages) is now:
Sirius.X | Try it | 🪪 Register | 🌐 TLD | 🧭 Theseus | 🔑 Sign in
That's 6 items instead of 10, and every one is a primary action the
user takes on Sirius.X. Docs / Roadmap / Brand / Silent Mode read as
'learn more', not 'do a thing', so they belong in the footer.
Landing footer redesigned as a four-column grid:
- Brand column: star mark, wordmark, one-line pitch
- Product: Register / TLD / Portal / Theseus
- Learn: Docs / Roadmap / Pantheon / Brand kit
- Silent Mode: silentmode.st, TLD registry, theseus.x, hephaestus.x
Meta row at the very bottom: 'Alpha' badge + chipnet disclaimer on
the left, copyright + brand-kit link on the right. Cascades to 2-col
on tablet, 1-col on phone.
Subpages keep their existing minimal footers for now — the beautiful
footer is landing-only where it earns the real estate. Nav slim is
site-wide.
Missing user-facing surface: minting a TLD required either the portal
(sign in first, register second, tucked under 'Signed in') or the
operator-only admin panel. New tld.html is a public, single-purpose
page that lets anyone go straight from label to certificate.
Flow: type a label → live check against /api/tlds → 'Register .foo →'
appears → sign-in cards (New / Import / WizardConnect) revealed inline
→ mint section shows label, address, price → submit walks through
'connected → checking-availability → loading-coins → building →
signing → broadcasting → registered'.
Wire is proven end-to-end (search returns a registerable card for
free labels, wallet flow generates a valid seed, address, submit
reaches 'wallet is empty' with a friendly faucet hint for the
signed-in address). Downstream of loading-coins is the same build/
sign/broadcast path exercised by every name registration.
Dispatch on wallet.source uses registerTldWithExternalWallet when
signed in via WC, else registerTldWithBuiltInWallet. Live TLD table
under the search shows every currently registered TLD with its
category; refreshes on successful mint.
Nav: '🌐 TLD' added to all 7 pages between Register and Brand.
Landing's 'Register a TLD' card now points here (previously linked
to the operator admin, which locked out anyone who isn't operator).
Five UX fixes from a review pass:
1. profile-menu.js: dropdown links (New/Add/WC wallet, Admin) were
absolute /sirius-x/portal.html paths. That's fine on silentmode.st
but under the BCNR route (sirius.x/) the origin is different, so
the gateway forwarded to Sia which returned 'NoSuchKey' XML. Now
derive the base URL from the nav's own .portal anchor href — which
is already set per page with the right relative path — so it works
from the root, from subdirs, and under any BCNR gateway. Admin URL
is derived from the same base.
2. Landing hero got a search input. Submitting it normalises the
label ([a-z0-9-], 63 chars) and redirects to register.html?q=<label>.
register.html now honours ?q= on load: prefills the input, triggers
the parallel multi-TLD lookup, and scrolls into view. Single source
of truth stays in register.html; the landing just hands it a query.
3. Portal TLD-mint error path now special-cases 'wallet is empty' and
shows a friendlier message with the wallet's address and links to
two chipnet faucets, so the fix is one click away instead of a
guess.
4. Removed 'Pantheon' from every page's top nav — it's a section on
the landing that anyone scrolling will discover, and keeping it in
the nav crowded the bar.
5. Cache-buster ?v=20260907rel on the profile-menu.js script include
across all 7 pages so browsers that cached the pre-fix version
pick up the new one on next load.
Three things from one review pass:
1. Rebrand text 'sirius.x' -> 'Sirius.X' as the brand style across all
sirius.x pages (titles, meta, nav wordmark, headings, prose, footer).
Also flipped the pantheon headings to Title.X form: Silentmode.X,
Sirius.X, Theseus.X, Hephaestus.X, Prometheus.X, Helios.X, Hermes.X.
Domain literals, URLs, and code samples stay lowercase (sirius.x is
the actual on-chain name; only prose changes). Logo/avatar SVG
wordmarks and aria-labels updated to match.
2. Banner (brand/banner.svg) redesigned around a centered layout:
'Sirius.X' wordmark above, the star's horizontal arm extended
edge-to-edge as a divider line, tagline lines below. Left tip at
(0,315), right tip at (1200,315) so the arm crosses the full 1200px
banner width; vertical body compact around center. Old layout had
the star crammed into the right half and the wordmark on the left.
3. WizardConnect wired up on portal.html:
- The 'Connect wallet' button now opens a real WC session via
wizardconnect.js, shows the WIZ:// URI (copyable) and waits for
the wallet to approve.
- Successful connection builds a wallet-shaped wrapper with
source: 'wc' and a WC session for signing; siriusProfile now
carries the source so the nav dropdown can differentiate.
- Record editor dispatches to setRecordsWithExternalWallet when
source === 'wc' (bundle already ships the adapter), else stays
on setRecordsWithBuiltInWallet.
- TLD Register submit is gated off for WC users with a tooltip —
no external-wallet variant of registerTld is exported yet, so
TLD mint still needs a built-in wallet.
- Sign-out disconnects the WC session before dropping the wallet.
- toTokenAddress used to derive the tokenAddress for WC users so
the 'Signed in' card shows both forms.
Copies site/sirius/register.html to site-sirius-x/register.html with
paths rewritten to absolute silentmode.st URLs (js bundle, importmap,
shared.css, WizardConnect vendor) so the page works both from
silentmode.st/sirius-x/register.html and from sirius.x/register.html
via the BCNR gateway. Nav is swapped to the sirius.x layout with
profile-menu.js.
Landing, portal, docs, and theseus subpage now link locally with
./register.html instead of redirecting off to silentmode.st. Adds
'Register' to the top nav of all six sirius.x pages.
Sia and VPS mirrors updated for register.html and the six pages.
registrar.js: BNS.connect() now filters silentmode.st/electrum and
coinspectrum.duckdns.org:50011 out of the default electrum list. Those
endpoints are our own bns-indexer.js — beacon-only, serves get_history +
transaction.get but NOT listunspent for arbitrary scripthashes. Every
wallet op (getBalance, getUtxos, edit signing) needs listunspent, so
picking a beacon indexer first (which we did for best reachability) broke
every wallet unlock with "-32601 unsupported method: blockchain.
scripthash.listunspent". New `beaconOk: true` opts back in for pure-
resolution paths.
Rebuilt the browser bundle (site/js/bns-register.js) so the fix reaches
portal + admin + register.html + anything else that imports BNS.connect.
site-sirius-x/js/profile-menu.js: a small shared script that transforms
the "🔑 Sign in" nav pill into a dropdown menu on every sirius.x page.
Signed-out shows New wallet / Add wallet / WizardConnect + a link to the
sign-in page. Signed-in (reads localStorage 'siriusProfile') shows the
short address, My names, Admin, Sign out. Included via one <script defer>
tag on each of the 6 pages (landing / portal / admin / docs / theseus /
brand); dropdown CSS is inlined by the script itself so consumers don't
need a matching stylesheet.
Portal.html writing to localStorage.'siriusProfile' after sign-in is a
follow-up so the dropdown reflects state across pages — until then the
menu always shows the onboarding options.
/sirius-x/docs/#host — Pattern C section extended with:
* "The dual-host recipe, end to end" — four-step publish sequence: edit
locally → scp to VPS → sia-upload → verify both.
* "Auto-backup: one command, both mirrors" — a Bash wrapper any operator
can drop into their repo to publish to both mirrors atomically.
* "Automate the reverse — VPS → Sia periodic backup" — a cron snippet
for setups whose primary publish is straight-to-VPS.
* Note on which mirror is authoritative (chain record decides).
scripts/mirror-bcnr-site.sh — general-purpose implementation of the
recipe. Takes local-dir, ssh-dest, sia-bucket-key + optional verify URLs.
Exit codes distinguish scp failure vs sia-upload failure vs verify
failure so a CI/hook can react. Trims trailing slash from Sia bucket key
so sia-upload.js doesn't produce "bns/x//file" paths.
/sirius-x/docs/#host walks through three patterns for actually shipping a site
under a BCNR name:
* Pattern A — Sia only (what silentmode.bch uses): sia-upload command,
bucket-path convention (bns/<label>/), chain record with trailing slash
so the gateway auto-indexes.
* Pattern B — Your own server: ip + tls records, chain-pinned TLS trust.
* Pattern C — Dual host: Sia primary + VPS mirror (what sirius.x itself
uses), with the nginx location snippet needed on the operator's box.
Also copied INSTRUCTIONS.md to /sirius-x/docs/INSTRUCTIONS.md (served as
plain text) so any session — including ones without a SilentMode checkout —
can read the full operator runbook via a public URL, no clone required.
The copy is gitignored; treat root INSTRUCTIONS.md as authoritative and
re-copy on deploy. Runbook section on docs page now lists three access
paths (browser, clone, planned Forgejo mirror at code.silentmode.st).
brand/ ships every reusable mark plus a browseable kit page:
* logo.svg — full colour wordmark (star + sirius.x, .x in acid green)
* logo-mono.svg — currentColor version for print / one-colour merch
* favicon.svg — 64×64 rounded square, scales cleanly to 16×16
* avatar.svg — 512×512 square, hard corners (platforms round-mask)
* banner.svg — 1200×630 OG / Twitter Card canvas, crop-tolerant layout
* index.html — brand-kit page: asset previews + download links, full
colour palette with names/hex, typography sample, do/don't guidance,
MIT-attribution notice.
Nav: added 🎨 Brand link to every sirius.x page (landing, portal, docs,
theseus). og:image on every page updated to point at /brand/banner.svg
instead of the wordmark logo — social crawlers get a proper 1200×630
banner with title, tagline, and mark instead of a thin logo strip.
Kept /assets/favicon.svg and /assets/logo.svg in place so existing
external references (Nostr metadata, third-party embeds) don't break.
gateway/public-gateway.mjs:
* GET /api/holdings/<scripthash> and POST /api/holdings {scripthashes:[…]}
— server-side wallet-holdings lookup for the portal. Bns-indexer is
beacon-only so it can't answer listunspent for arbitrary addresses; the
gateway does the electrum roundtrip and cross-joins with the cached BCNR
index. Client posts scripthashes (no libauth needed on the server) and
gets back the names owned.
* elConnect now falls through to whole-buffer JSON.parse when a Fulcrum
response lacks a trailing newline — chipnet.bch.ninja does this and
otherwise every elCall to it times out. Same tolerance pattern as
bns-indexer.test.mjs's tiny electrum client.
* verifyElectrum picks a full electrum with a 3s server.version probe so a
hung server fails over to the next in seconds instead of stalling 20.
* Skips silentmode.st/electrum and coinspectrum.duckdns.org:50011 for
/api/holdings — both are bns-indexer routes that don't do listunspent.
web/register-entry.js: export addressToScripthash so the portal can derive
the scripthash for each of its wallet's watched addresses before POSTing.
Browser bundle rebuilt.
site-sirius-x pages:
* favicon + logo hrefs made relative (./assets/… on index/portal,
../assets/… on docs/theseus). Absolute /sirius-x/… broke on the sirius.x
BCNR route where the site is served from root instead of under /sirius-x/.
* Roadmap nav link added back to portal, docs, theseus — the landing has an
anchor to a section on itself, so subpages now link to it explicitly.
* portal.html: loadNames rewritten to POST scripthashes to /api/holdings
instead of doing client-side electrum. Works on browsers whose networks
block chipnet electrum ports; same-origin HTTPS on 443.
* portal.html: bundle import ?v= bumped so Chrome's in-memory ES module
map picks up the new bundle instead of a stale cached copy.
assets/favicon.svg — 4-point sparkle star in acid green on a rounded dark
square. Scales cleanly at any size (16px tab icon through Retina). Uses the
Silent Mode palette so it recognisably reads as Silent Mode family.
assets/logo.svg — the same star + "sirius.x" wordmark with the .x accented in
acid green. Used as the og:image; can also be inlined as a brand mark.
Every page (landing / docs / portal / theseus) gets:
* <link rel="icon"> + <link rel="mask-icon"> pointing at favicon.svg
* og:type, og:site_name, og:title, og:description, og:url, og:image
* twitter:card + twitter:title/description on the landing (summary card)
Absolute paths (/sirius-x/assets/…) so subpages get the same brand mark
without per-page path juggling.
Standard header pattern — brand + main nav on the left, the account action on
the right. New .portal class does margin-left:auto plus a subtle acid tint so
it reads as a button, not another nav item. Applied on all four pages
(landing, docs, portal, theseus); the label is '🔑 Sign in' everywhere
(portal.html itself still marks it .here).
The landing kept expanding whenever documentation was added inline. Moving it
to its own subdirectory gives docs room to grow and keeps the landing to the
"try it / roadmap / verify" story it's supposed to be.
* docs/index.html — TOC + eight sections (TLD registry, registration,
records, resolver, mainnet pricing, tracker, verification, runbook).
Reads on its own; no dependency on the landing.
* index.html — #docs section shrunk to a one-paragraph call-to-action with a
prominent "Open the docs →" button; nav Docs link now points at /docs/.
* portal.html + theseus/index.html — nav Docs links updated to /docs/ (was
./#docs / ../#docs) so every subpage points at the standalone docs.
