Every outbound request now advertises the Google Chrome brand in the
sec-ch-ua client-hint family alongside Chromium — same technique Brave,
Vivaldi and Opera use to stay off Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode's naughty
list. Fixes whybitcoincash.com and every other CF-fronted site that was
returning 503 to Theseus while curl got 200. Values come from
process.versions.chrome so nothing straddles.

Toolbar drag handle clamps to a 30% share floor for both the address
bar and the search bar; search min-width bumped to 180px so the
'Search' placeholder always fits; 10px margin between the search bar
and the trailing dock.
Bookmark brand-case for .x names now uses a canonical map so all-caps
sources come out correctly: SILENTMODE.X → SilentMode.X,
silentmode.x → SilentMode.X, GAME.X → Game.X, coinspectrum.x →
CoinSpectrum.X.

Already-all-caps names (GAME.X, SILENTMODE.X) keep their form.
Non-.x titles untouched. Applied after the descriptor trim from
0.3.41 so a saved 'theseus.x — the browser…' also comes out
'Theseus.X'.

Right-click on a tab no longer opens a DOM menu that grows the chrome
view. New IPC 'tab-context-menu-popup' builds an OS-native Menu (same
pattern the add-on dock dropdowns use) and pops it at the click point,
floating above every WebContentsView — no layout change, no gap
between the toolbar and the tab body.
Bookmark chips now a uniform 150 × 28 px cell, 12.5 px text, 14 px
favicon. Chip labels trim descriptors after a whitespace-flanked
em/en-dash/hyphen: 'GAME.X — Bitcoin Cash game platform' renders as
'GAME.X'. Full title stays on hover. 'Foo-Bar' comes through intact.

install-update-now now spawns setup with ['/S', '--force-run'] so
Theseus comes back on its own after the silent install completes.
The 0.3.31 rewrite had dropped --force-run under the (correct)
observation that /S alone installs cleanly on our NSIS config; the
user reported the missing post-install relaunch after the
0.3.37 → 0.3.39 auto-update went smoothly but left them looking for
the Start-menu shortcut. --force-run is electron-builder's convention
for auto-launching the app after silent install and puts the flow
back to feel like a one-click restart.

Bundled release covering three improvements from this session:
DevTools dock — new Settings > General > Developer tools with
three radio choices: Bottom panel (default, Chrome-style), Right
sidebar, Two sidebars. F12 handler reads settings.devToolsDock on
each open so the choice applies instantly.
Scrollbars — every scroll surface Theseus owns (tabs, chrome,
sidebar, popovers, add-on panels) uses a subtle neutral-grey track
and a BCH-green #0AC18E thumb. Modern scrollbar-color on <html>
plus ::-webkit- overrides for width, radius and hover.
captureTab full-page — before Page.captureScreenshot the code now
runs Emulation.setDeviceMetricsOverride to widen the viewport to
the window's content width, so an open sidebar can't clip the
screenshot. Restores metrics in finally.

Two independent drag handles replaced with ONE between the URL bar
and the search bar. Zero-sum: bigger URL bar = smaller search bar,
and vice versa. Fixed items (nav, Downloads, extension dock, ⛓ logo)
stay put — .urlwrap + .bardrag + .searchbox now share a .urlsearch
flex container between them, so the drag never displaces anything
outside it.
Verified via static render in the browser pane:
url=default → 60/40 split (533 / 317 px at 1280 total)
url=700px → search shrinks to 157px
url=300px → search grows to 539px
narrow window (data-responsive=1+) → search bar + drag handle
both display:none, URL bar grows to fill

New sidebar tab between Privacy and Extensions groups the two long
system-scoped cards that used to live at the bottom of General:
- Ariadne's Thread (system-wide resolver, install / update / on-off)
- Aegis (built-in wallet, OTA-updated)
General now stops at the collision-policy block. Plug-ins clusters
components that live alongside Theseus with their own lifecycle
controls, which is what those two already are — the shape was hiding
inside a general-purpose bucket.
Ariadne status re-polls on every tab visit (avoids stale "checking…"
after a background poll finished while another section was open).
Aegis card loads on page-init and its "Check for updates" button
stays user-initiated — we don't want a network request every time
the user opens the tab.

Version bump only, no code changes. Published to prove the just-shipped
0.3.34 install can auto-update itself using the reverted-to ["/S"]
spawn code.
E2E test result — the real D:\Program Files\Theseus Navigator install:
BEFORE: v=0.3.34, hash e59d6da2..., mtime 09/08 22:02:46
AFTER: v=0.3.35, hash 420b7320..., mtime 09/08 22:31:18
Registry updated at same D:\ path
Post-install proc count 0 (no --force-run in the current code, as designed)
Second confirmation this session that install-update-now's ["/S"]-only
spawn (unchanged since 0.3.1) does the right thing against a real
install at a path with spaces.

Same content as the 0.3.31 rewrite, published under 0.3.34 so existing
0.3.33 installs actually see an update chip and can prove the update
path E2E.
E2E test result — the real D:\Program Files\Theseus Navigator install:
BEFORE: v=0.3.33, hash 312cd15b..., mtime 09/08 19:53:04
AFTER: v=0.3.34, hash e59d6da2..., mtime 09/08 22:02:46
Registry updated to point at same D:\ path
Auto-launched via --force-run (23 procs)
Confirms: the earlier "silent no-op" observations were transient
(most likely stale APP_GUID mutex from an orphaned setup process),
not a systemic bug. The auto-updater end-to-end path works correctly
against a real install at a path with spaces.

Same 0.3.31 version, new binary. Rewrites the shipped 0.3.31 with:
- light-mode chrome strip retuned to soft neutral grey
- bookmark chips shrunk to 130px + draggable to reorder
- light-mode Tor + Theseus (⛓ logo) chips from illegible dark navy
to #eef1f5 with dark ink
- updater hash-verifies downloaded setup .exe against manifest
before arming Install (catches truncated payloads Electron
silently reports as "completed")
- install-update-now spawn flags left at /S alone — the D:\Program
Files silent-no-op symptom is not addressed by any flag combo
Existing 0.3.31 installs won't see an update chip (version compare
returns false). Fresh downloads from dl.silentmode.st get the new
binary. 0.3.32-0.3.34 binaries + manifest entries stay deleted from
the previous revert.

Bundled revert of six commits:
9bacdcb Ship 0.3.34
aef7864 0.3.34 UI (grey chrome, DnD bookmarks, chip colors)
c2da8bb Ship 0.3.33
9b92224 fix(updater) verify SHA-256
4e932e0 Ship 0.3.32
4e695c4 fix(updater) --updated flag
Reason: the real-install E2E test (turn N-1) showed silent update
against the user's custom D:\Program Files\Theseus Navigator location
returns exit 0 without upgrading anything — every flag combination
tried (/S alone, --updated /S --force-run, /S /currentuser,
/S /D=<install>) exits successfully and no files change. The 0.3.32
flag fix and 0.3.33 hash-verify fix were defensive improvements but
did not address the actual "browser vanished" symptom, and 0.3.34
inherits the same broken silent-update path so its UI improvements
never reach anyone still on 0.3.33+ with a non-default install path.
Rolling manifest back to 0.3.31 so the update chip stops appearing on
installs that can't complete the update. Users on the default
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\theseus-navigator location are unaffected —
0.3.31 is still their canonical shipped version.
package.json reset to 0.3.31 explicitly (git revert stopped one bump
short on the merged diff).
Screenshot 0.3.0 (8ca5ac3) preserved — unrelated parallel work.
Chrome strip retuned in light mode: --bg #e6e8ec, inactive tab
#f2f4f7, active tab #ffffff. Flat white tabs disappeared into light
Windows title bars; the current-tab pop is preserved.
Bookmark chips: 130px max-width, 11px text, 12px favicon, 22px row.
~40% more saved pages fit. Drag-reorder chips with left/right-half
convention matching the tab strip; new bookmark-move IPC splices the
list, missing entries and self-drops are no-ops.
Tor + Theseus (⛓ logo) chips in light mode: from illegible
white-on-#253A49 (at 12-13px) to #eef1f5 with #253A49 ink.
.tor.connecting/.on keep amber/purple hue in light fills.
First release that will also E2E-test 0.3.33's SHA-256 verify: a
running 0.3.33 discovering 0.3.34 will hash-check the fetched .exe
against this manifest before arming Install.

Companion to 0.3.32's --updated /S --force-run flag fix. Closes the
download-side of the same "browser vanished after auto-update" class:
The in-app updater's DownloadItem `done` handler marked
updateDownloadState="ready" on any completed state, no hash check
against the manifest. If the download completed short (bad
Content-Length, CDN cache truncation, mid-stream TLS reset the
runtime swallowed as "completed"), install-update-now spawned half
a setup binary — NSIS integrity check failed silently, uninstaller
had already wiped the app, and Theseus was gone.
Now the completion handler streams the saved file through
crypto.createHash("sha256"), compares to updateAvailable.setupHash
from the manifest (already captured in checkForUpdate), refuses to
arm install on mismatch, deletes the corrupt file, and marks the
fetch failed so the next check picks up a fresh copy. Same paranoid
pattern the Ariadne addon updater has used all along.

Escapes the 0.3.31 update-loop bug: the in-app updater ran the NSIS
setup with just /S, which on our oneClick:false + perMachine:false
+ allowToChangeInstallationDirectory:true config silently ran the
uninstaller (wiping the install dir and the registry install-path
entry) and then bailed out of the wizard install phase for lack of
UI to pick a target dir. Browser disappeared with nothing to click
on next boot.
0.3.32 spawns setup with --updated /S --force-run — electron-builder's
auto-update-mode signal to reuse the registry install path and skip
the uninstaller rerun.
Users stuck on 0.3.31 have to manually download 0.3.32 from
dl.silentmode.st to break out; %APPDATA%\theseus-navigator\ (vault,
addons, settings) survived the uninstall untouched.

Fixes since 0.3.28 (all riding this ship since 0.3.29/0.3.30 site
files never reached LIVE):
a279864 - Root cause of the "screenshot is still blank white"
symptom: captureTab reads activeTab(). After the first capture the
editor tab BECOMES active, so every subsequent shot snapshotted the
editor's own still-blank canvas — that white PNG got written to
scratch, fed into a new editor, and the next re-capture snapshotted
THAT. A self-referential feedback loop. captureTab now skips
add-on-owned and Settings tabs, falling back to the last real page
tab tracked in setActive(); if none exists, a clear "open a page
you'd like to shoot first" error rather than white pixels.
4c55f04 - Aegis card in Settings > General crashed on load because
the IPC handlers used a different response shape than the UI
expected. Reads corrected on both sides.
df10884 - Aegis retires the legacy bchwallet folder on every launch,
and Aegis gets a branded dock/list icon.
1574545 - Every dark-hardcoded surface in Settings light mode (.polrow
collision-policy rows, .segseg, .engcat, .ctxmenu, select/input
backgrounds) now maps to a BCH-palette equivalent — no more solid
dark blobs on the white page.
ea9bcab / 4ed55b7 - Site release-notes text updated to include the
per-add-on diagnostic report already in the 0.3.28 build.

One bundled fix since 0.3.29:
1574545 - Every dark-hardcoded surface in settings.html now maps to a
BCH-palette equivalent in the light-media block: --bg #F8FDFF,
--ink #253A49; .polrow / .segseg / .engcat / .ctxmenu / select /
input backgrounds all get a subtle off-white and dark-navy text; the
selected .polrow gets an acid-green tint via :has(input:checked)
so the chosen option stands out without a black bar. Registries
> Collision policy is now readable in light mode. Dark mode unchanged.
Verified via CDP: --bg=#F8FDFF, --ink=#253A49, .polrow color
=rgb(37,58,73), engcat bg=rgb(244,248,251), theme card bg=white.

4c55f04 - Aegis update card in Settings > General was showing 'Status
check failed: installed.find is not a function'. Two IPC shapes had
changed under the card's assumption of flat arrays:
cfg.listAddons() → { installed:[…], sidebarPanels:[…] }
cfg.checkAddonUpdates() → { report, skipped, staged:[…] }
Both call sites now normalise to arrays before .find(). Verified via
CDP on a fresh install: card renders 'You're on v<current>', Check
for updates keeps that when nothing's staged, Restart-to-apply stays
hidden.
920febb - package-lock.json version-field bumped 0.3.16 → 0.3.22 to
match what npm install had already written (housekeeping, no deps).
Also lands in this deploy (via sia + scp, not part of the Theseus
binary):
b043d15 - Sirius portal drops the modal launcher and renders the
sign-in tabs inline via siriusRenderSignInInline(). One flow, no
popup, refresh-safe.

The 0.3.28 ship commit (e0ce64f) declared installer/portable hashes
5d15508b… / a5d346b9…, but the binaries on dl.silentmode.st that
actually shipped were rebuilt after the bchwallet→aegis rename

32d4b75 - Aegis (bchwallet) gains its own update card in Settings >
General beside Ariadne. Check for updates hits the same signed OTA
endpoint the boot timer uses; Restart to apply appears when a signed
newer version is staged. Uses the existing addons-check-updates + a
new app-restart IPC. New Aegis versions ship without a Theseus release.
32d4b75 (same commit) - DevTools (F12 / Ctrl+Shift+I) opens docked to
the right of the tab (mode: 'right') instead of a detached window.
Matches stock Chrome. Users who prefer detached can drag out via the
DevTools own toolbar.
b71c925 - Search-engine favicons in Settings > Search now use Google's

Parallel session (0.3.26 slate + 0.3.27 preload fix):
- CDP capture replaces WebContents.capturePage for screenshot modes so
captures no longer come out blank after the toolbar-menu popup closes
- Screenshot editor gains a Discard button + Escape closes the editor tab
- Settings > Extensions gains a manual 'Check for updates' + pending
updates surface for signed add-on updates
- Signed add-on update endpoint (operator Ed25519 pubkey baked into
the build) is now controllable by hand from the UI, not only on
the boot timer

One fix since 0.3.26:
038095f - The preload for full-tab add-on pages (addon-tab-preload.js)
has been in the source tree since 0.3.19 but was never declared in the
electron-builder file list, so every packaged Theseus build shipped
without it. Symptom, reported on 0.3.25: the screenshot editor tab
opens with a DevTools ENOENT error, window.silentmode comes out
undefined, and the toolbar buttons (Copy, Save, Discard) misfire.
The 0.3.26 CDP capture fix WAS landing correctly at the main-process
side; the editor was just missing its add-on API surface. Packaging
the preload closes the loop — combined with 0.3.26's capture fix,
the screenshot pipeline works end to end.
Deployed. Verified LIVE 0.3.27.

Three fixes since 0.3.25:
1799a09(a) - Screenshot toolbar-menu captures no longer come out blank
on Windows. capturePage() intermittently returned a stale/transparent
frame at the correct dimensions when the tab view was still marked
occluded after the native menu popup closed — no 0x0 result to retry,
just an unusable image. captureTab now uses CDP Page.captureScreenshot
for every mode (visible / full / region), which forces a fresh
composite regardless of occlusion state and returns a base64 PNG
directly. Attach the debugger only when nothing else has, detach only
if we attached — a page's open DevTools stays attached.
1799a09(b) - Editor grows a Discard button (and top-level Escape) that
closes the editor tab and drops the working screenshot. Previously if
capture came out unusable there was no way out but the tab close
button, and any in-progress unsaved crop/annotation had no cancel
path. New addon-tab-close IPC lets an add-on's own page close its
own tab; window.silentmode.closeTab() exposes it. Escape now unwinds
progressively: text placement → in-flight crop rect → whole editor.
1799a09(c) - Settings > Extensions grows manual controls for the
signed add-on update endpoint. A "Check for updates" button runs
the same polling the boot timer runs, and reports the outcome
inline ("All extensions are up to date" / "N updates staged;
restart Theseus to apply"). A Pending updates box below the
buttons lists what's in <userData>/addons-updates-staged/ so the
user knows what will be promoted on next restart. The endpoint was
already live (boot timer), just not previously surfaceable.
Toolbar-menu popup settle bumped 120 → 250 ms with an explicit
win.focus() in the popup close callback. CDP capture no longer
depends on that delay for the screenshot addon, but any add-on that
does its own DOM work in the click handler before capture still
benefits.
Screenshot add-on bumped 0.2.2 → 0.2.3 (Discard button; capture
comes from the host, not the add-on).
Also carrying forward everything committed in 0.3.22 – 0.3.25 that
had not reached LIVE:
- 0.3.25 (497bbb4): Settings > Performance / Privacy / Extensions
sidebar links were dead — the section switcher's sections array
still listed 'naming' after Registries folded into General in
0.3.21, and the null lookup threw before switching. One-line fix
(cbdc755).
- 0.3.24 (310a367): slimmer installer + light-mode readability
(Ariadne is no longer bundled into the Theseus installer — it's
fetched from silentmode.st when the user asks for it — dropping
~20 MB of the installer size), plus Settings light-mode visible
button text and Theseus brand color.
- 0.3.23 (9c15ff7): BCH-palette light mode + user-agent strip.
Deployed. Verified LIVE 0.3.26.

One bundled fix since 0.3.24:
cbdc755 - Settings > Performance / Privacy / Extensions sidebar links
were dead because showSection()'s sections array still listed 'naming'
(deleted when Registries folded into General in 0.3.21). The
getElementById('naming') null lookup threw before switching, so the
click looked like a no-op. Dropped 'naming' from the array.

Bundled since 0.3.23:
a730b56 - Ariadne 0.1.1 fetched from silentmode.st on demand instead of
bundled with Theseus. Installer size drops ~24 MB; Ariadne can update
independently.
3e780eb - Light-mode fix: .btn text (Check for updates, Add engine
button) and .brand (⛓ Theseus in sidebar) were rendering as an
invisible pastel #eaffb0 / marginal BCH-teal against the light sidebar.
Route through var(--acid) with a light-media override for .brand.
fc37525 - Introduces --acid-text: dark mode = --acid (bright), light
mode = #253A49 (BCH dark navy, ~12:1 on white). Every text role in
settings.html now uses --acid-text — .brand, .side a.active, .btn,
.engcat hover, inline <b style> in the Ariadne + Update status
renders. Fills / borders / tints stay --acid for BCH-green identity.
Deployed. Verified LIVE 0.3.24.
Ariadne 0.1.1
- install.ps1 primary TLD source: HTTPS $Indexer/api/tlds -> advertised[]
(electrum fetchTldList / legacy fetchBcnrTlds / ariadne.config.json /
bootstrap kept as fallbacks in that order). Silent installs no longer
stall when WSS is blocked.
- Persistent transcript at C:\ProgramData\Ariadne\install.log; separate
install-error.log on any uncaught exception. Top-level trap logs the full
stack, then exit 1 so Inno/NSIS silent-install callers see a real failure.
- .iss: SetupLogging=yes; DeinitializeSetup() copies Inno's log to
C:\ProgramData\Ariadne\inno-setup.log on every exit path.
- Version bumped to 0.1.1. sha256=be1fa8841919b321841d90f8147abe1b1d7604fe7fff6c2e271dc47c4c24a2b6
Theseus decoupled from Ariadne
- Removed nsis/installer.nsh (custom Ariadne chain-install page).
- Removed extraResources entry for AriadneResolver-Setup-*.exe.
- Removed build.nsis.include from package.json.
- Settings > System-wide resolver panel now fetches the .exe from
https://silentmode.st/releases-manifest.json, streams the download while
hashing, refuses to spawn on SHA-256 mismatch. 30-min in-memory manifest
cache so opening Settings doesn't spam the endpoint. Offline gracefully
degrades to installedVersion-only / canUpdate:false.
- "bundledVersion" IPC field kept for renderer compatibility; it now
carries "latest advertised by the site's manifest".

Two bundled changes since 0.3.22:
7893635 - Light-mode --acid → #0AC18E (Bitcoin Cash primary from
whybitcoincash.com's palette). User-Agent stripped of theseus-navigator/
and Electron/ tokens so Cloudflare's WAF stops returning HTTP 503 on
sites like whybitcoincash.com; Theseus now identifies as vanilla
Chrome (same practice as Brave / Vivaldi / Slack).
89b8485 - Full acid sweep: every hardcoded #d6ff3d and rgba(214,255,61,X)
in the chrome + every addon panel now routes through var(--acid), so
the light-mode swap actually takes effect everywhere. Theseus button
(.logo) + update chip (.upchip) become dark BCH-navy #253A49 chips in
light mode so the toolbar has a visible accent surface instead of
white-on-white.

Two bundled changes since 0.3.21:
a0c96fe - Light-mode --acid swaps from #3a5c00 (olive) to #088A66, a
darker variant of Bitcoin Cash's #0AC18E primary. AA-passing on white
(~5:1) AND reads as 'Bitcoin Cash green' instead of an off-brand
olive. Applied across chrome / settings / error / home / approval /
messages / bchwallet / siawallet / screenshot editor. Dark mode's
#d6ff3d is unchanged.
4dacd8f - Settings > General > Updates card gains a Check for updates
button. Un-dismisses any lingering session chip and re-fetches the
release manifest immediately (rather than waiting for the boot / 6h
auto-check). Renders 'You're on the latest (v0.3.22)' or 'vX.Y.Z is
available — the update chip will offer it'.

763c68d - Home page search box no longer hardcodes 'DuckDuckGo' in the

One theseus change since 0.3.18:
7672ce0 - Signed add-on update endpoint activates. The Silent Mode
operator Ed25519 pubkey (generated 2026-09-07,
732b1263a236b0030383a2376597cfa43c3624b3ca2912a46134f8f2a06e6012)
is baked into addon-update-pubkeys.js, so on every boot Theseus polls
each installed add-on's updateURL 30 s in, verifies the signed
updates.json against the pubkey, and stages any newer signed version
under <userData>/addons-updates-staged/ for promotion on the next
launch. Verification, backup, and promotion mechanics unchanged from
0.3.18. The screenshot add-on already advertises
https://addons.silentmode.st/screenshot/updates.json; publishing a
signed entry there is what activates real updates. No entry is
published yet, so this build's boot-time fetch fails silently until
the operator lands the first signed payload via
scripts/sign-addon-update.mjs.
3be152a - Also in this ship: package-lock.json resynced with
package.json. The 0.3.18 ship inadvertently committed WIP dependency
additions (bitcoinjs-lib, bip32, bip39, ecpair,
@bitcoinerlab/secp256k1) via git commit -o's file-scoped semantics
without a matching lock update. Fresh clones now build cleanly with
npm ci. Deps are unused by shipped code at this time but ride along
in node_modules — installer size grew ~400 KB.

Five theseus fixes since 0.3.16:
e90062a - Bundled add-on updates now actually land. seedBundledAddons()
previously copied a bundled add-on only when its target folder was
missing, so the 0.3.14 screenshot editor never reached machines that
already had an older screenshot/ folder from a previous run — Theseus
quietly kept using the stale copy. The seeder now compares bundled and
on-disk addon.json versions and reseeds with a timestamped backup
under <userData>/addons-backups/<id>-<oldver>-<timestamp>/.
ecfd481 + 6117429 - Signed add-on update endpoint, à la Firefox XPI.
An add-on can now advertise an updateURL in its addon.json and be
republished at any time without waiting for a Theseus release. The
client fetches, verifies an Ed25519 signature over
"silentmode.addon-update-v1|<id>|<version>|<tarball-sha256>",
downloads the tarball, verifies the hash, and stages the new copy
under <userData>/addons-updates-staged/ for promotion on next launch.
Dormant in this build — the shipped addon-update-pubkeys.js is empty,
so checkAndStageUpdates() short-circuits and makes no outbound
requests; the feature activates when an operator ceremonies a key in
and ships a follow-up release with the pubkey baked in. Operator
tooling in scripts/generate-update-keypair.mjs and
scripts/sign-addon-update.mjs; full brief in docs/ADDON-UPDATES.md.
End-to-end verified against a local HTTP server: sign, serve, fetch,
verify, download, extract, stage, promote, backup — plus signature
tamper, wrong pubkey, sha256 tamper, and empty-pubkey short-circuit
all rejected as expected. 15/15 checks pass.
bfe5132 - Tab-switch flash is gone. Two independent causes: (a) tab
views were created without an explicit background color, so the first
frame after setVisible(true) showed whatever was underneath the view
until the page painted; a solid theme-tracking ground fills the gap.
(b) setActive iterated tabs in list order, so if the outgoing tab
came before the incoming in the array, the loop hid the outgoing
first and left one frame where no tab was visible; the incoming is
now shown before any hides.
a5a667d - Screenshot toolbar-menu captures no longer come out blank.
The click handler dispatched capture synchronously while the native
Menu.popup window was still on top, marking the tab view occluded and
letting WebContents.capturePage() snapshot a stale/empty compositor
frame at the correct dimensions (which the existing 0x0 retry
couldn't detect). Dispatch now runs from the popup's close callback
after a 120ms settle so the parent window is foreground and the
compositor is live at capture time.
a5a667d also - Ariadne — Install / Update / Uninstall alongside Turn
on / off. The Ariadne toggle card in Settings > Registries grows
three lifecycle actions. Install and Update run the bundled
AriadneResolver-Setup-<ver>.exe silently and elevated (/VERYSILENT
/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART — one UAC prompt, no wizard); Update is
only visible when the bundled version is newer than what's installed.
Uninstall reads Inno's QuietUninstallString from HKLM registry and
runs it elevated. Status surfaces installed version + bundled version
so the user can see what's on disk vs what would land next; buttons
disable during work and refresh after both success and failure so the
UI never lies.

Two bundled fixes since 0.3.15:
4f498a1 - Extension dock no longer stacks into a column when dragged
narrow. #extbuttons + .extdock get flex-wrap:nowrap + overflow:hidden;
a second data-extcollapse signal fires when .bar's contents overflow
(alongside the width-based level 3), collapsing the row into the
single 🛡 puzzle button. Hysteresis (cached natural width + 8px slack)
keeps the ResizeObserver from oscillating across the boundary.
e160dac - toolbar-menu popup goes native (Menu.popup from main) so it
escapes the chrome-view height clipping. capturePage retries transient
0x0 results up to 6 times so the screenshot addon doesn't silently
produce a blank PNG right after a navigation.

One bundled commit since 0.3.14:
6dae15e - Drag handles on the trailing edge of the URL bar + leading
edge of the search box let the user resize live; widths persist as
urlBarWidthPx / searchBoxWidthPx and override the discrete size preset.
Also fixes the sliding bug the user just flagged: capping the URL bar
via Settings > Appearance was letting the download / extension /
Theseus buttons pack next to the URL bar, sliding leftward. Adding
margin-right: auto to the capped .urlwrap absorbs the slack so the
right group stays pinned to the right edge. Verified via CDP: logo's
rightGap stays at 10px across default / compact / urlBarWidthPx=500 /
reset.

Three bundled fixes since 0.3.13:
- (Aegis multi-chain wallet, cherry-picked from claude/sleepy-maxwell-251ee6
worktree) — bchwallet add-on turns into a chain-agnostic wallet
manager with BCH + Tron mainnet + Tron Nile testnet; addon id stays
"bchwallet" so vault-derive paths + legacy BCH funds are untouched.
Dapp bridge on any https page exposes window.tronWeb / window.tronLink
matching TronLink chain ids so Tron dapps just work.
- 3d3dfe5 — Screenshot addon reworked: dock icon opens a small
toolbar-menu (Visible / Full page / Region…) instead of a sidebar
panel; captures open in a full browser tab with an editor
(crop / arrow / rect / circle / freehand / text / blur / undo / save /
copy). Two new addon-host capabilities land: toolbar-menu + open-tab.
- dd31b88 — Light-mode --acid went from #4d7300 → #3a5c00 (~7:1 on
white), and the missed addon panels (bchwallet, siawallet,
screenshot editor.css) got their overrides so nothing resolves to
the bright #d6ff3d anymore.
Note on Nile testing: the code paths verified via a running instance —
dock shows 🛡 Wallet, chain picker "🟨 BCH — main ▾" is present. Live
Nile send requires a vault + testnet TRX from nileex.io/join/getJoinPage.

Bundled since 0.3.12:
1514793 - Settings > Registries gets an on/off toggle for Ariadne's
Thread (system-wide BCDN resolver for non-Theseus browsers). Query is
silent Get-ScheduledTask; toggle spawns elevated PowerShell (UAC once
per action). Three states: running / stopped / not-installed.
b16f0a1 - New BCDN 'p' record type in Argus record-picker + Theseus
serving. Reverse-proxies an upstream URL under a BCDN name, keeping
the BCDN name in the address bar; uses upstream's own DNS + public
CA + Host header (unlike 'ip' which pins IP + on-chain TLS fingerprint).
Placed after 'ip' in the apex chain, suppressed under subdomain
inheritance so a 'p' name doesn't silently proxy every subdomain.
cfec253 - Argus registrar gains buildTldRegistrationTx + TLD_BEACON +
normalizeTld exports for minting per-TLD certificates per the TLD-
registry design.

Two bundled fixes since 0.3.11:
e7dfa46 - At responsive level 3 the collapsed extension button was a
generic 🧩 puzzle piece. Swap it for the first registered extension's
own icon (📝 / ₿ / Ⓢ / whatever ships first). Puzzle piece stays as the
empty-state fallback when no addons are registered. Click still opens
the same dropdown of all installed extensions.
95cc2c7 - Remove the redundant 32-px extension picker strip that
sidebar-preload.js was injecting at the top of every add-on panel.
The toolbar extension dock is the canonical switcher now; doubling
that inside the sidebar just wasted vertical space and made narrow
panels cramped. Every panel reclaims its top 33px.

beca0fa - A ResizeObserver on .bar sets data-responsive to one of four

Theseus button collapses to just the gear icon at level 2, and the
extension dock folds into a single 🧩 puzzle button opening a dropdown
of installed extensions at level 3. User's explicit Address bar /
Search box size settings still win at wide widths.

One bundled fix since 0.3.9:
d1f3347 - The brand acid green (#d6ff3d) was ~1.3:1 contrast on
#ffffff / #f6f8fb, so it went nearly invisible any time the user
flipped Settings > Theme to Light. Every chrome page (chrome, home,
settings, error, approval, messages) now overrides --acid to #4d7300
in its prefers-color-scheme: light block — same hue family, ~5.5:1
on white. Also added the missing --acid: #d6ff3d declaration to
chrome.html's :root (was relying on var(--acid, #d6ff3d) fallbacks,
so the light override couldn't bind). Verified live via CDP.

Two changes since 0.3.8:
f1d117e - .extbtn was display:grid, which is block-level, so multiple
extension buttons inside #extbuttons stacked vertically. Switch to
inline-grid — same icon-centering, no forced line break between
siblings. Verified on a running instance: all 4 dock buttons at the
same y-coordinate.
(this commit) - Remove the static Aegis ₿ placeholder button and its
handler. Redundant now that the real bchwallet addon ships in the box
and registers its own dock entry. Also flip the dock-hidden logic to
disappear entirely on a fresh install with no add-ons registered, so
the toolbar doesn't carry an empty slot for users who never install
one.

Bundled fixes since 0.3.7:
b649398 - User-resizable address bar + search box. Settings > Appearance >
Toolbar now offers urlBarSize (wide/medium/compact) and searchBoxSize
(hidden/compact/normal/wide). Applied as data-attrs on .bar so the flex
basis of .urlwrap and the width of .searchbox swap live. Motivation:
the per-extension dock (0.3.7) needs room to grow as users install more.
Settings-set broadcasts settings-update to chrome so resizing is instant
without a relaunch.
ab87576 - F12 / Ctrl+Shift+I opens Chromium DevTools on the active tab

1026b08 - Per-extension toolbar dock: replaces the single sidebarbtn with
one button per registered addon sidebar-panel. Notepad (📝) and Silent
Mode Relay (🌐) appear automatically from their manifest icons; a static
Aegis Wallet placeholder (₿) marks the upcoming built-in BCH wallet.
Click a live button → open the sidebar on that panel, click active →
collapse. Preload adds openSidebar(panelId) / closeSidebar() wrappers.
622aaee - Right-click "Search for '<selection>'" in the page context

d3c3298 - Chrome-view gap root cause: body no longer inherits the chrome

and syncHeight can shrink chrome back after a menu close. The growing
blank strip above the page is gone (was previously ratcheting to the
260px clamp on every menu open).
1b4a3c3 - Bookmarks: favicons on every row (backfilled on revisit for
older entries) + Edit title actually works via an in-page modal (Electron
BrowserViews disable window.prompt, which is why the previous menu item
silently did nothing).
952bf5f - Tab tooltip on hover shows title + URL, the way Chrome/Firefox
do it. Uses the url field already present in the per-tab payload.
f591475 - Error page gets a first-class "You appear to be offline" kind
that fires when navigator.onLine is false — no more false "not registered"
verdicts when you're just disconnected. Plus a "did you mean" row that
suggests near-match BCNR names (Levenshtein ≤ 2, same TLD) from the warm
shared index — no network required, works offline. Click a suggestion
to retry with the original path preserved.

Chrome-view height gap: any tabs event that fires while no menu/popover
is open now normalises the chrome-view height via syncHeight(). A leaked
menu-close path could previously leave the strip inflated; the next
tabs update guarantees it shrinks back to the natural body-scrollHeight.
Tab-group drag-and-drop: group chips are now valid drop targets in the
same drag session as tab reorder. Dragging any tab onto a chip and
dropping assigns that tab to the chip's group (which also auto-clusters
it via the existing tab-group handler in main). Chip highlights acid
green while a valid drop hovers.
Collapsed group vertical popover: click a collapsed group chip and a
floating panel opens below it, listing every tab in the group. Each
row shows the favicon + title + a ✕ to close that tab. Clicking a row
switches to the tab AND expands the group so the newly-active tab
appears in the strip (tabGroupToggle). Popover closes on outside click
or Escape; the outside-click filter also ignores clicks inside .gchip
so opening the popover doesn't immediately close it.
growChromeForMenu() and closeAllMenus() now include .grouppop in their
overlay queries so the popover contributes to chrome-view sizing and
gets cleaned up alongside the ctxmenus.

Three address-bar suggestion fixes.
Per-row ✕ delete on hover. Clicks on the X call address-forget instead
of address-pick; the row disappears optimistically in the picker and
main drops the entry from history + persists. Sender-URL gated to the
picker's own file:// origin.
Enter with a highlighted suggestion now navigates to THAT url. The
URL input handler tracks a pickerHasCursor flag that flips true on
ArrowDown/ArrowUp and false on any input; Enter with cursor forwards
to the picker's own submit path via addressCursor("enter") — before
this fix, Enter always ran goURL against the typed letters, which
submitted them as a web search instead of opening the selected url.
Address bar reliably shows the picked URL. onAddressPicked now arms
an overrideUrlBarUntil = now+1500ms flag; the onTabs handler treats
that window as "force write the url", bypassing the focus-guard that
was leaving the bar blank when blur() hadn't landed yet.

Three 0.3.2 misses fixed:
Tab context menu was clipped by the chrome view's fixed height — the
menu rendered with position:fixed inside a WebContentsView whose
bottom edge stops at CHROME_H, so items below the tab strip weren't
visible. New growChromeForMenu() measures every open menu's bounding
box and calls T.setChromeHeight(needed) so main.js grows the chrome
view to fit; closeAllMenus() calls syncHeight() to restore.
Bookmarks bar was hidden on every tab except Home, so Add-to-
Bookmarks had no on-screen feedback. Now always visible.
Tab groups now actually cluster. Assigning a color to a tab moves it
adjacent to its group-mates in the tabs array (main-side splice, no
render-only trick). The chrome renderer inserts a colored group chip
before the first tab of each group; clicking the chip toggles a
per-group collapsed state (in-memory, resets on relaunch). Collapsed
groups hide their member tabs and the chip shows the member count.
Expanded groups keep the per-tab top color stripe from 0.3.2 so the
cluster reads as one visual block.

Right-click a tab: floating context menu with Reload, Duplicate, Group
(submenu: None / Red / Orange / Yellow / Green / Cyan / Blue / Purple),
Add to Bookmarks, Mute (also Unmute; 🔇 shows next to the title when
muted), Close. Menus close on outside click or Escape.
Group state is per-tab. A grouped tab shows a colored dot before the
title and a matching 2-px accent stripe on the top edge, so a cluster
of same-group tabs reads visually. Palette is drawn from existing
provenance colors (err/warn/acid/srv/sia/blue).
Backend IPCs are all tab-scoped (not "active tab"): tab-reload,
tab-duplicate, tab-mute (toggle or explicit boolean), tab-group,
tab-bookmark. emitTabs payload gains muted, group, and url so the
menu can read current state.
Installer wizard branding: 164×314 sidebar BMP with the compass mark
centered + "Theseus / NAVIGATOR" wordmark under it, plus a 150×57
top-strip header with a mini compass on the right. Sharp can't write
BMP directly (only png/webp/etc), so nsis/make-icons.mjs renders raw
RGB via sharp and wraps it in a hand-rolled 24-bit uncompressed BMP
header. Uninstaller reuses the same sidebar.
Silent-install fix: nsis/installer.nsh's AriadnePageCreate now checks
IfSilent BEFORE touching nsDialogs::Create. In /S mode the flag is
zeroed and the function returns cleanly, so the installer no longer
hangs waiting for a page it will never draw. This is why 0.3.2 needed
two builds — the first hung on /S install; the fixed hash is the one
that ships.
Deployed: scp + sia-upload of both trees. Verified VPS hash matches
local 09331b2f. Fresh /S install to D:\Program Files\Theseus Navigator\
placed 0.3.2 with the correct HKCU Uninstall registry entry.

The update flow no longer asks the user to click Download. When
checkForUpdate detects a newer version, autoDownloadUpdate() kicks off
session.defaultSession.downloadURL against the setup URL immediately.
will-download recognises the update URL and routes the file to a
fixed %TEMP% path (bypassing the visible downloads panel entirely),
streams updateDownloadReceived/Total into the chip via
emitUpdateAvailable, and flips updateDownloadState to "ready" when
the transfer finishes.
Chip states:
idle first render before the fetch starts — clickable to
trigger the manual download (kept as a fallback).
downloading "↓ 42% — 0.3.2" — no click, just progress.
ready "✓ Install 0.3.2 & restart" — one click.
failed fall back to the pre-0.3.1 explicit-download click.
install-update-now IPC: spawns the cached setup with /S (detached,
stdio ignored), then app.quit() 400ms later so the installer can
overwrite the running exe. Our nsis/installer.nsh detects an existing
Ariadne install via the HKLM registry and skips its Ariadne prompt on
upgrades, so the /S run is fully unattended.
The one-click flow eliminates two long-standing sources of confusion:
- "Download opens a different browser" — Theseus's default session
fetches the installer itself, not a URL handoff to shell.
- "Update requires multiple wizard clicks" — /S skips them.
Extensions aren't touched by this. The framework lives in
addons-host.js + sidebar-preload.js; add-ons themselves live in
%APPDATA%\Theseus Navigator\addons\<id>\ and are a separate layer.
New extensions ship by drop-a-folder, no browser release required.

Home cards decoupled from the installer. Theseus now fetches
https://dl.silentmode.st/home-cards.json at boot and every 6h, caches
into <userData>/home-cards-remote.json, and applies it as the default
tier. Priority in loadHomeCards() is:
1. <userData>/home-cards.json (user edits — unchanged, always win)
2. <userData>/home-cards-remote.json (last successful fetch)
3. DEFAULT_HOME_CARDS (code fallback for offline first-boot)
On a successful refresh, main pushes the new list to every home tab
via the home-cards IPC — but only when the user has NO local edits.
The user's edit mode remains authoritative.
Content updates now happen by editing site/home-cards.json and running
scp + sia-upload. No browser build required.
Prometheus.X copy fix: "Decentralized App Marketplace" (was
"marketplace for BCDN-hosted apps" — the marketplace isn't BCDN-
specific). Applied to both DEFAULT_HOME_CARDS (fallback) and
site/home-cards.json (canonical live copy).
Deployed:
- scp installers + manifest + tools/ + releases/ + home-cards.json
to /opt/silent-mode/dl/ and /opt/silent-mode/site/
- sia-upload of both site trees
- verified home-cards.json served 200, manifest 0.3.0 live
Existing installs of 0.2.5 will surface 0.3.0 in the update chip and
also pull the new home-cards.json — so the "Decentralized App
Marketplace" wording lands on ANY current install (0.3.0+) the moment
this commit deploys, without waiting for anyone to install 0.3.0.
Wait — 0.3.0 is what CARRIES the fetch logic. So the auto-pull benefit
only kicks in from 0.3.0 onward. Users on 0.2.5 or earlier need to
install 0.3.0 once; from then on every home-card edit reaches them
without a new browser release.
