Flipping Prometheus from "designed, not yet built" scaffold to a live
catalogue. The APS1 open-publish protocol still lives in the design doc,
but holding Prometheus back from launch until arbitrary publishers can
mint listings turned out to be a story problem rather than a technical
one: the Silent Mode / affiliate projects that already ship ARE the
first catalogue, and shipping twelve real listings today gives
Prometheus a reason to exist while the open-publish layer lands.
What changed:
- Category counters stop showing 0 — the five categories we have listings
for show real numbers, the five we don't still read 0 (so the page
stays honest).
- A new #catalogue section after the category grid: 12 app cards grouped
by category, each with icon, name, publisher, blurb and status pills
(live / beta / bundled). Each links to its project's own site, not a
Prometheus-internal detail page — that's for the APS1 flow when it
ships.
- Hero pill: "designed · not yet built" → "live catalogue".
- Honest-status note at the bottom reframes today's drop as
operator-curated and names what opens next (APS1 record + submission
flow + trust lists).
- Absolute URLs for shared.css, favicon, OG image and every topnav link,
so the page renders identically whether a visitor hits silentmode.st,
the Sia bucket, prometheus.x via a resolver, or navigate.st's mirror.
The relative-URL version broke the Sia-hosted path when the on-chain
record was swapped from the u redirect to the s3 pointer.
The chain record swap and the Sia upload are already done outside this
commit — prometheus.x now serves bns/prometheus/ via BCNR; this file is
the content that landed in both the VPS mirror and the bucket. If/when
the APS1 flow lets anyone publish, the "0 listings" counters just start
counting up and the operator-curated note at the bottom goes away.

Status. The first-drop catalogue above is operator-curated —
