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.
