Subject: [PATCH] Ship Theseus 0.2.4 7fd323a8 (home cards refresh +
engine-picker sync + proxy auth support)
Setup 7fd323a87bd32b780e147de18e16ecd82f89960bbd8e9a619c5d25d374597cd2
Portable 3166e64cf56badd7b26c4c793dc79bbed6f9d6c48fbd467d97f845385b91b1dd
Home cards: DEFAULT_HOME_CARDS replaced with the .x sibling grid the
user asked for -- hello.bch, siatest.bch (the "types of BCDN" pair),
then silentmode.x / theseus.x / sirius.x / hephaestus.x /
prometheus.x / helios.x / hermes.x. Existing installs with a saved
home-cards.json keep their edits (defaults only seed fresh profiles).
Search engine picker sync: user reported the toolbar dropdown listed
engines as active that Settings > Search showed differently. Root
cause: settings.searchEngine could be pointing at an id not in the
currently-enabled set (stale settings.json after DEFAULT_ENABLED
changes across versions). loadSettings now normalizes on boot -- if
searchEngine isn't enabled, fall back to enabled[0]; and
installedEngines gets unioned with enabledEngines so the two lists
can't disagree in ways that make toolbar and Settings render
different rows.
Proxy auth support in the framework: setSessionProxy accepts
`{ proxyRules, auth: { username, password } }` or an inline
`socks5://user:pass@host:port` URL. When creds are present, the
handler strips them from the URL, installs a session#login listener
on the default session that answers with them, then calls setProxy.
Chromium's SOCKS5 client doesn't consume proxy auth (known Chromium
limitation), but HTTP proxies work; SOCKS-based extensions need to
gate by IP allowlist at their server. Log line masks the password.
Update chip note: the "download opens in a different browser" was
0.2.0-era behavior. 0.2.1 rewired it to session.downloadURL. Anyone
still seeing it needs to install 0.2.1+ once.
Deployed: scp + sia-upload both trees, verified HEAD 200 + manifest
0.2.4 live.

Sidebar gains a panel picker strip at the top when 2+ extensions register panels, so you can switch between (say) Notepad and a private VPS relay without touching Settings. Startpage is the new default search engine (was DuckDuckGo). All 0.2.2 fixes ride along.",
