The daemon now uses the operator's live BNS indexer as the primary source of
truth, not chipnet electrum. Two changes to the resolver pipeline:
1) Background refresh is HTTPS-first with ETag. Every 30 s the daemon polls
dl.silentmode.st/bns-name-index.json (and s3.silentmode.st:8600 as an
independent Sia mirror) sending If-None-Match; only reparses the array
when the operator republished, does zero work otherwise. Electrum WSS
stays as a same-tick secondary that runs when HTTPS turned nothing up,
so a daemon on a network that can reach chipnet but not the operator VPS
still converges. Both broken? Keep the last-good index from warm-start.
2) Per-query indexer fallback in the DNS handler. When the in-memory index
misses, the handler calls navigate.st/api/name/<host> directly with a
5-second timeout and a 30-second LRU cache. Names registered AFTER the
last snapshot poll but BEFORE the next one now answer immediately from
the live indexer instead of falling straight through to a forward and
returning NXDOMAIN. Cache is cleared on any successful full refresh so
a de-registered name doesn't stay resolvable.
Net effect: on the class of failure that motivated this (chipnet electrum
timing out on blockchain.scripthash.get_history, or port 50004 filtered by
the network), the daemon just works. The operator's HTTPS indexer -- which
every other client in the ecosystem (Theseus mobile, Aegis, sirius.x, the
gateway itself) already reads from -- is now Ariadne's Thread's primary
too. Trust model unchanged: the snapshot always came from the operator.
Verified locally with the built binary on port 15353:
bnsd index: warm-started from https://dl.silentmode.st/bns-name-index.json (61 names)
hello.bch -> 127.0.0.1 (snapshot hit)
game.x -> 127.0.0.1 (per-query /api/name fallback -- not in .bch-heavy snapshot)
coinspectrum.x -> 127.0.0.1 (per-query fallback)
ariadne.x -> 127.0.0.1 (per-query fallback)
notregisteredxyz.x -> NXDOMAIN (indexer confirms not registered, forwarded to upstream)
