Canonical silentmode.st URLs no longer carry a trailing slash (/tools, not
/tools/). nginx (tracked now in VPS/SilentMode/silentmode-st.nginx) 301s
the old form and serves <dir>/index.html; sub-sites deployed from other
repos with relative asset paths (deviant, sirius-x, theseus-x, hephaestus.x,
fly.x, code) keep their directory URLs. Every page's internal links are
now site-root-relative, which resolves correctly both at /x on nginx and
under the BNS gateway's injected <base href="/bns/silentmode.bch/"> — the
old ../x/ links were already broken on the gateway route.
/theseus becomes the Silent Mode-headered Theseus page (what it is, what's
inside, Windows + Android downloads with manifest hashes, verify), linking
out to the sovereign theseus.x whose VPS mirror moves to /theseus-x/, the
same split as /sirius vs /sirius-x/. /tools is repurposed as the overview:
every site, the on-chain twins, the other clients (relay, Firefox, the
standalone Ariadne Resolver) and the machine endpoints. The old tools page
carried stale APK and resolver hashes; the new pages use the manifest's,
verified against the files on dl.silentmode.st.
scripts/serve-site.mjs mirrors the nginx rules for local preview.
Bulk-inserts <link rel="icon" type="image/svg+xml" href="/favicon.svg"> before
the </head> tag on every silentmode.st page that was missing it. All 36 site
HTML pages now advertise the chain-links favicon; browsers show it in tabs
and bookmarks across the whole umbrella site.
Pages touched (29): apps/, choose/*, deviant/* (7 pages under the parent
house), hephaestus/, hephaestus.x/* (9 chain-published mirror pages),
nav/ (redirect stub), register.html (redirect stub), sirius/,
sirius/register.html, store/ (redirect stub), tlds/.
Already had favicon from earlier passes (7): index.html, brand/,
tools/, prometheus/, helios/, hermes/, releases/.
Line-ending preservation: choose/index.html and sirius/register.html were
originally stored with CRLF endings; the plain Python read/write path
normalized them to LF and produced a noisy diff. Both files re-serialized as
CRLF before the favicon insert to keep the diff to +1 line each.
Deploy: rsync-equivalent tar-pipe to /opt/silent-mode/site/, plus per-file scp
for the two CRLF-corrected files. Verified live: 7 spot-checked URLs each
report exactly one <link rel="icon"> in served HTML.
Was only .bch. The daemon and CA already handle these four TLDs; the NRPT
rule was the missing piece that made .p2p / .bit / .nav queries never reach
the daemon at all (they went to ICANN's normal DNS and NXDOMAIN'd).
Dual TLDs (.de .ru .dev .ltd) intentionally NOT here. They need the
daemon's DNS-forwarding path to work reliably for unregistered names,
and there's still an open EDNS/AAAA forwarding bug in bnsd.js that
would break most German/Russian sites if we NRPT'd .de.
Adding more native TLDs (.x .sia .dgb .nt from Theseus's expanded set)
needs a CA rotation first — the current CA's nameConstraints only permit
bch/p2p/bit/deviant/nav/test/bcnr. Deferred.
- Security popover redesigned to resemble Firefox's site-info panel:
lock/shield hero, "Connection secure" status, host, plain-language
subtitle, and a details grid; the overlay view auto-sizes to content.
- Search-engine picker returned to the toolbar with an "Add / edit engines…"
entry that opens Settings; added Ecosia, Mojeek, Presearch.
- Custom search engines: add (name + URL template with %s) / remove in
Settings > General; used by address-bar search.
- Address-bar placeholder: "Ask a search engine or enter web address".
- AriadneResolver-Setup-0.1.0.exe → 0a8b0a48… (bnsd.js auto-index fix synced
into the resolver package + rebuilt)
- Deployed to dl.silentmode.st and mirrored to Sia bns/silentmode/
Theseus Navigator:
- Firefox-style toolbar: SVG back/fwd/reload/home buttons
- security padlock badge in the address bar opens a floating site-info
overlay VIEW (on top of the page, never pushes content down)
- Edge-style favorites bar (shown only on the new-tab/home page)
- search-engine picker (DuckDuckGo/Google/Bing/Brave/Startpage)
- Theseus logo moved right, opens Settings; native menu removed
- address bar doubles as search; bottom resolver status line
Argus:
- BNS-only indexer: an electrum endpoint over a bare BCHN node
(watches just the beacon, caches txs so no txindex needed) + test
- registry lifecycle / portfolio / name-index modules
Site restructure (nav/apps/store/hermes/choose) + runbook notes.
