Every silentmode.st subpage was missing Hephaestus in its topnav, so clicking
Hephaestus from the homepage led to a page whose nav had a different item set —
looked like the header "rearranged and dropped tabs" mid-navigation.
- Add <a href="../hephaestus/">Hephaestus</a> between Sirius and Helios on:
tools, prometheus, sirius, helios, hermes, releases, tlds
- Normalize hephaestus/index.html to use relative paths (../foo/) matching the
convention used by every other subpage — was absolute (/foo/)
- Result: every page has 7 identical nav items in the same order, with
class="here" on whichever section you're viewing. /hephaestus/ keeps its
"Open forge →" CTA appended (an addition, not a reorder).
.hub and .os seeded on the chipnet TLD beacon (~2,600 sats) and added to the
public registrar. .dea (already on-chain via a concurrent session) also
surfaced in the TLDS array so its second-level names become registerable —
consistent with the "if it's on-chain, offer it" default.
portal.html: fix "t is not iterable" by passing (electrum, addresses) to
BNS.getUtxosForAddresses instead of (addresses); open one BNS.connect() and
share it across the UTXO scan and the buildIndex. Sign-in itself already
worked (wallet unlocks, address populates) — the crash was in the subsequent
names load. Ships a clearer network-blocked error too when the browser can't
reach chipnet electrum ports (50004/50011/62002).
Per-TLD certificates on a distinct TLD beacon supersede the legacy list-in-one-NFT
model. TLD label is the NFT commitment; TREG/TUPD payloads on the TLD beacon
mirror REG/UPD on the name beacon. Chipnet TLD beacon:

scripthash c85db10e106606273422b2733b2a6fb8b35a4d0e7dbfb20cf59bdb0833c008b8
* config.js, resolver-web.{js,d.ts} — TLD_BEACON + TLD_BEACON_SCRIPTHASH
* bns.js — KNOWN_OPS { REG, UPD, TREG, TUPD }, registerTld/updateTld/normalizeTld
* bns.js + resolver-web.js — buildIndex({enforceTld:false}) drops name REGs
whose TLD lacks a live TLD cert at their block height (mempool-friendly).
Lockstep across both files.
* lib/tld-index.js — buildTldSnapshot({history,txs}) → deterministic root over
canonicalised tlds[]. Pure, importable, and stable across insertion order.
* indexer/bns-indexer.js — BeaconIndex is multi-beacon; ws handler dispatches
by scripthash; new HTTP endpoint GET /tld-list.json + /health behind
BNS_HTTP_PORT; state file v1 → v2 migrates in fromJSON.
* publish-tld-mirror.mjs — S3 (floating + immutable content-addressed) plus
NIP-33 kind 30078 d:bns-tld-list to Nostr relays, signed via nostr-tools
(libauth's Schnorr differs from BIP-340 and relays reject it).
* seed-tld-beacon.mjs — idempotent chipnet seed. Current set on the beacon:
bch p2p bit nav test x asm neo gt sc sia com dex cex nt (15). `.com` is
held by the operator: cert on-chain, excluded from public registrar UI.
Design + docs:
* Decentralized.DNS/DESIGN-tld-registry.md — schema, enforcement,
operator-countersig gate, USD-tiered pricing floors, fee splits,
tracker/mirror mechanics, migration/grandfathering.
* INSTRUCTIONS.md §3 rewritten for the 4-step flow (TREG → UI → deploy →
republish snapshot).
* site/tlds/ — public docs page listing current TLDs + verification paths.
* site/sirius/register.html — dropdown removed; parallel search across
every TLD in the TLDS array, sorted available → taken → not-on-registry.
Config:
* ariadne.config.json tlds → [bch, p2p, bit, nav, test, x] (CA constraints;
on-chain registry is now the authoritative source, config is fallback).
* setup/install.ps1 — reads TLD list via fetchTldList (per-TLD registry)
with fallback to fetchBcnrTlds (legacy tls.bch list-NFT) then config.
Tests:
* test/tld-index.test.mjs — 30 self-contained checks (multi-beacon dispatch,
state migration, ws routing, snapshot shape + root recomputability).
* test/tld-enforcement.test.mjs — synthetic + live chipnet integration
(with-gate correctly drops all pre-seed names).
Dropped the OpenSearch "+" item from the engine dropdown and the per-page
OpenSearch scan that fed it (it ran a fetch on every page load). Users add
engines via Settings instead.
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.
