Manifest, releases page, download pages and theseus.x fallback text all point at
0.3.61 with the new hashes. Silentmode.st serves static; silentmode.bch mirror
follows via the 5-min Sia sync.
- New /brand/ directory: compass-mark favicon and logo variants (colour +
monochrome currentColor), 512x512 avatar with rounded corners, 1200x630
banner for OpenGraph/Twitter cards, and a brand book page mirroring the
Sirius.X and Ariadne.X pattern — logo & wordmark, avatar & favicon,
social banner, colour palette, typography, usage & licence.
- Footer replaces the single-line attribution with the deep, four-column
family footer (brand column plus Product, Download, Pantheon), an alpha
badge bar, and the acid-green accent used elsewhere on the site. Brand
and Sirius.X + Ariadne.X + Hephaestus.X cross-links live here now.
- Ariadne's Thread plug-in card on /plug-ins/ swaps the spool emoji for
the actual brand-book thread mark (thread.svg, calm variant, 26px
beside the h3). Same asset the resolver page carries, copied into
local /assets/ so the icon works offline and doesn't cross-origin.
- /extensions/ picks up a Brand link in the topnav to match the sibling
pages' navigation set.
Manifest and download pages point at the new build. Silentmode.st serves
static; silentmode.bch mirror follows via the 5-min Sia sync; theseus.x's
fallback text and hashes match the 0.3.60 binaries so the page reads correctly
before the client-side manifest fetch overwrites them.
The public repos carried no license, so nobody could legally copy or build
on the code, and the whitepaper's "free software" had nothing behind it.
Theseus and its companions take the Mozilla Public License 2.0, the
file-level copyleft Firefox and Brave use, which is compatible with every
component they bundle. The resolver and gateway libraries take Apache-2.0
so that other implementations of the registry can reuse them without
copyleft in the way. The protocol documents and the whitepaper are CC BY 4.0.
A third-party notices file lists what the browser ships and fetches, with
the source offer the GPL sing-box binary the VPN add-on downloads requires;
the matching source archive is now published beside the binaries. The
names and marks are reserved in TRADEMARKS.md, separate from the code
license, so a fork must ship under its own name. Settings › General says
the license and links the three files; the whitepaper says the same.
Every card that has a signed update channel now carries the two
buttons a reader actually needs — "Install in Theseus" (a
theseus://extensions/install/<id> deep link that main.js already
intercepts via will-navigate, popping the native install-consent
dialog and verifying the operator signature before any bytes hit
addons/) and "Download tarball" (direct .tar.gz link for sideloaders
and archivists). A one-line update hint below the buttons points at
the signed updates.json and notes SHA-256 verification, so the whole
install-and-then-update path fits inside the card.
Applies to Screenshot and PDF Editor. Notepad and Translate ship
inside every Theseus build and have no separate channel yet — those
carry a plain "Ships with Theseus — appears under Settings ›
Extensions on first launch" note in the same slot so the layout
stays consistent across bundled entries.
The download hrefs default to the current versioned tarball on the
navigate.st gateway and get rewritten to the newest entry from the
signed updates.json when the fetch succeeds (new data-live="download"
setter on the manifest-fill script) so the button never points at a
stale version.
Cloning the forge repo on Windows and running the suite there turned up two
things a checkout inside the monorepo could never show, because this working
copy has core.autocrlf=false.
Git on Windows defaults to autocrlf=true, so a fresh clone gets CRLF. For
most files that is cosmetic. For shell scripts it is not: install.sh copied
from such a clone onto a server fails with `bash: \r: command not found`,
which tells the person almost nothing about what is wrong. And a
CRLF-rewritten .patch file is no longer the bytes `patch` was given.
.gitattributes now pins eol=lf for the scripts, the container inputs and the
source, and marks *.patch as binary so nothing rewrites it at all.
tools/refresh-patches.sh --check also compares with --strip-trailing-cr, so
a clone made before this landed reports honestly instead of claiming the
patch record has drifted when it has not. A check that cries wolf is a check
somebody switches off.
- Settings > Extensions: the Community list showed an entry even for
extensions already listed above under Installed, so docx-editor
appeared twice as soon as it landed in the gateway catalog. The
render now filters out any catalog item whose id is installed —
the Installed list handles updates via the poll + "Check for
updates" button, so the Community list only needs to surface
things you don't have. Empty-state copy branches on whether the
catalog is empty vs "everything is installed".
- theseus.x/extensions catalog renderer accepts data:image/... icons
in addition to emoji, so an extension whose manifest.icon is an
SVG data URI (pdf-editor, docx-editor) renders as an <img> instead
of the raw URI text.
- Static PDF Editor entry on that page now uses the same inline SVG
badge the browser dock renders.
The extensions page could only hand out tarballs; installing meant going
to Settings › Extensions › Community and finding the entry again. Pages
now get window.bcnr.installExtension(id) and Theseus intercepts
theseus://extensions/install/<id> links (page clicks, target=_blank and
the address bar). The page only names a catalog id: Theseus fetches the
catalog and package itself, asks in a native dialog the page cannot draw
over, verifies the publisher signature against the name's current owner
and activates the add-on — the same path a Settings install takes. One
prompt at a time; an already-installed version says so instead of
offering a no-op update.
The site shows the button inside Theseus (feature-detected on the
bridge), a "update Theseus" hint on older builds and a download hint in
other browsers.
The topnav had both the Theseus.X brand mark and a "Home" link that
went to the same place — clicking either landed on the same page. The
brand mark is universally understood as the home affordance, so the
Home tab was just chrome noise between the mark and Plug-ins. Removed
across the home, Plug-ins and Extensions pages so the tab strip reads
as three distinct destinations instead of two-plus-a-repeat.
Two first-party extensions shipped without ever appearing on the
catalog page. Added:
📄 PDF Editor — bundled, full-tab PDF reader/annotator (highlight,
mark up, reorder/rotate/drop pages, fill forms, save a new copy;
annotations written as real PDF content). Opens from the toolbar
menu and from the "Open PDF in editor" right-click on any link.
📝 Word editor — .docx open/edit/save in a full Theseus tab.
Ribbon-style formatting, tables, lists, images and links;
headers, footers, footnotes, page setup and the document's own
styles are preserved through a round-trip. Listed as a community
extension (Settings › Extensions › Community); channel path
mirrors the addon.json updateURL (extensions/community/docx-editor).
Both cards carry data-ext hooks so the manifest-fill script picks up
version + tarball + sha256 from a signed updates.json when the
channel is published — for now the baked-in 0.1.0 is the fallback.
The IntersectionObserver-based spy only fired when a section entered a
narrow band 40–45% down the viewport. Short sections at the tail of a
page — Operator key and Roadmap on theseus.x/extensions, whatever came
last on the other pages — never made it into that band because the
page runs out of scroll before their top crosses 40%, so their sidebar
links stayed dim no matter how far the reader scrolled.
Rewrote the spy across every page with a sidebar (theseus.x home /
plug-ins / extensions and sirius.x home / tld / theseus / docs / admin
/ brand): it listens to window scroll, picks the last section whose
top has crossed 35% of the viewport, and — when the window is scrolled
to within 4px of the bottom — snaps to the final section regardless of
where its top is. Every link in the rail can now activate.
theseus.x/extensions also had the spy IIFE bundled with the manifest
loader in one <script> block near the middle of the page, so at run
time the parser hadn't yet reached the last three sections and only
Bundled/Community/Build were ever registered. Moved the spy to its own
<script> just before </body> so it sees every section that ships.
The sidebar's body padding-left was pushing the whole page — hero,
cards, footer — to the right of centre, off the axis of the hero
title. Removed the body reserve; the sidebar is now a
pointer-events:none overlay on top of the page. Content wraps back to
the middle of the viewport regardless of sidebar width.
Links float at opacity 0.35 by default so the sidebar reads as chrome
rather than a panel — the section text underneath stays legible. On
hover a link snaps to full opacity, picks up an ink colour and a
subtle blurred backdrop so it doesn't compete with the content. The
active-section link keeps the acid tint at 0.85 and finishes to 1 on
hover. Icon rail and mobile bar unchanged.
Sirius.X: the Theseus tab link in the topnav now reads Theseus.X with
the .X in acid green, matching the naming everywhere else in the
ecosystem.
The Aegis card carried a 🛡 emoji as its glyph, which is generic and
picks up whatever shield the reader's font renders — often colourful
and unrelated to the wallet's identity. Swapped it for Aegis's real
brand mark (hexagonal shield outline + target reticle, acid green),
inlined from bundled-addons/aegis/addon.json where it's the source of
truth for the wallet's own icon everywhere in Theseus.
Also updated the sidebar's Aegis-wallet link to the same SVG so the
mobile/narrow icon rail shows the brand instead of the emoji.
Sidebar redesign:
- Wide (>1180px): labels only, no icons, no border-left outline, no
background tint on active — just the label going acid green when
the section is in view. Sidebar moved down (+34px top padding) so
the first link doesn't crowd the topnav.
- Medium (720-1180px): icon rail only.
- Mobile (<720px): bottom bar with icons only.
- Background dropped from rgba(.82) to rgba(.42) — the backdrop-blur
already carries the separation, less panel-heavy against the hero.
- "On this page" section header dropped: the sidebar is close enough
to the topnav that the label reads as chrome rather than nav.
- Active state is now colour only (acid on the label); the left
border stripe and highlight background are gone.
Nav path fix (broken link on the silentmode.st mirror):
Root-absolute nav paths like /plug-ins/ resolved to
silentmode.st/plug-ins/ (404) instead of silentmode.st/theseus/plug-ins/
when a reader browsed the fallback mirror. Rewrote every topnav link,
cross-page prose link and favicon href to relative form
(plug-ins/, ../plug-ins/, assets/favicon.svg, …). Works on both the
BCNR name and the silentmode.st/theseus/ mount.
theseus.x, sirius.x and hephaestus.x had a 1px border-bottom under the
sticky/fixed topnav that read as a visible separator between the
navigation and the page. The topnav's own translucent-blur backdrop is
enough of a distinction already — the line is redundant and, on the
theseus.x sidebar layout, made the top of the sidebar look like it was
overhanging the header.
theseus.x tabs also had a "Sirius .X" gap because the topnav <a> is a
flex container and the icon + "Sirius" text + ".X" span were three
flex items with a 6px gap between each. Wrapping the label in one
<span> collapses the gap to a single space between icon and label.
Sidebar border-right and mobile bottom-bar border-top also dropped —
the panel tint carries the boundary; a hard line was too heavy.
Sidebar was drawing above the topnav border line — the sticky topnav
only spanned the content column, so where the sidebar met it a T-shape
break was visible. Topnav is now position:fixed spanning the full page
width, and the sidebar is anchored to var(--tn-h)=52px so it sits
cleanly below the topnav border on all breakpoints.
Also: the sirius.x tab is now capitalised Sirius.X and carries its own
brand mark (the 4-point sparkle from sirius.x's own favicon) so the
tabs read as three named things — Home, Plug-ins, Extensions, Sirius.X
— not one lowercase outlier. A shared .topnav a .g rule paints the .X
suffix acid green.
Sidebar was a small strip in the middle of the page. Now it lives on
the left edge as a proper column, sized to be reachable — 220px full
mode with icon + label per link, on the operator's brand backdrop.
Breakpoints:
>1180px full sidebar, icon + label, "ON THIS PAGE" section header
<=1180px 64px icon rail, labels drop, tooltips on hover
<=720px bottom bar strip, icons only, spans page width
body padding-left carries the sidebar width so the topnav and page
content flow as one column beside the rail — no overlap on any width.
Home has 4 icons (What it is / Features / Download / Verify), Plug-ins
has 3 (Aegis / Ariadne's Thread / vs extensions), Extensions has 6
(Bundled / Community / Build & publish / Updates / Operator key /
Roadmap).
The top nav was a mix of anchor links (#what, #features, #verify) and
site tabs (/plug-ins/, /extensions/). Sub-pages dropped the anchor-only
items, so the header visibly reshuffled between pages — clicking a tab
looked like a partial page break, not a navigation.
Top nav is now the same five items on every page: brand → Theseus.X,
Home / Plug-ins / Extensions / sirius.x / Get Theseus. Section anchors
moved to a fixed left sidebar (position: fixed, sits outside the
centered content column, hidden below 1180-1200px). IntersectionObserver
highlights the current section in acid green as the reader scrolls.
Sub-pages get their own left sidebar for the sections they actually
contain (Plug-ins: 3; Extensions: 6), so the pattern is consistent
across the site instead of home-only.
Brand text bumped to capital T + capital X.
Anyone who owns a BCDN name can now publish a Theseus extension, and every
Theseus can install it with the publisher's signature verified locally.
Gateway (Argus/src/gateway/public-gateway.mjs):
PUT /api/ext/<name>/<id>/<version> takes the gzipped tar, checks two BCH
message signatures against the name's current NFT owner (one authorises
the upload, one is stored in the channel), inspects the package
(addon.json at the root, id/version/main match, 8 MB cap), enforces
first-publisher ownership of an id and monotonic versions, and writes the
tarball, the extension's updates.json and community/catalog.json to Sia.
GET /api/ext/catalog reads the catalog back with CORS.
Theseus:
lib/publisher-sig.mjs recovers the signer of a channel entry; main.js
compares it with the publisher name's owner from Theseus's own chain
index before installing or updating, so neither the relay nor a tampered
catalog can pass off code under a trusted name. addon-updater.js gains
installCommunity() and accepts publisher-signed entries in the regular
update check (operator Ed25519 entries unchanged). Settings › Extensions
shows the community catalog with Install / Update; Settings › Plug-ins
links to theseus.x/plug-ins.
theseus.x:
/plug-ins/ is a separate page for the first-party plug-ins (Aegis,
Ariadne's Thread) with live versions and hashes; /extensions/ lists the
bundled extensions, the community catalog, and how to build and publish;
/extensions/publish/ signs and uploads a package in the browser with the
wallet that holds the publisher's name (session helper + wallet bundle
copied alongside).
- Address bar: the chrome view keeps document.activeElement on the URL
input after the user clicks into the page (focus moved to the tab's own
view), and the "don't clobber typed text" guard then froze the bar until
something blurred the field. The guard now requires real focus
(document.hasFocus()), and the field is blurred when the view loses focus.
- Tab strip: rebuilt with innerHTML on every tabs event, which recreated
every favicon <img> — a blink on the other tabs whenever one tab loaded,
reloaded or changed title — and dropped drag state mid-gesture. Elements
are now keyed by tab id (chips by group colour), updated in place, and
moved into order; the strip is never rebuilt.
- Settings › Extensions links to theseus.x/extensions. That page now has a
card per bundled add-on with the current signed version, tarball and
hash read from each add-on's updates.json at load (it still claimed
Screenshot 0.2.4 while the channel serves 0.6.5).
The Download buttons pointed at TheseusNavigator-Setup-0.3.44.exe, which the
ship process had long since archived off dl.silentmode.st — a 404 for anyone
arriving from theseus.x. Buttons now use dl.silentmode.st/latest/<name>,
which the download host redirects to the current versioned file, so the page
cannot go stale again. Versions and hashes are refreshed from the releases
manifest at load (the baked-in 0.3.48 / 0.18 values are the fallback), and
theseus.x/dl is a memorable landing that carries only the stable links.
Direct answers to the three complaints in one release.
"Doesn't load any results even if I type a keyword" — navigateTo used to
always append .bch to any bare label. So "bitcoin" became
https://bitcoin.bch/ and NXDOMAINed. Now: input with a space, or bare
label with no dot, routes to the user's chosen search engine. Input with
a dot (hello.bch, example.com) stays a URL. Matches Chrome/Firefox
omnibox behaviour exactly.
"Has no check for updates in settings" — new Updates section shows the
installed version + signing-cert SHA-256, with a "Check for updates now"
button that manually polls dl.silentmode.st and toasts the result. If a
newer version exists, the standard silent-prefetch → green-chip → tap-to
-install flow (unchanged from 0.15) kicks in.
"Looks poor compared to a regular browser" — Settings gains three more
sections beyond Resolution / Ariadne's Thread / Maintenance:
- Search: segmented picker for DuckDuckGo (default), Startpage, Brave
Search, Google, Kagi. Persists via SharedPreferences.
- Updates: version + cert + manual check.
- Privacy: "Clear browsing data" — cookies (CookieManager), form data,
cache, per-tab history, all in one tap. Bookmarks + tabs preserved.
- About: silentmode.st/theseus + theseus.x links, brand credit.
serveSettingsPage() signature grew to take (indexerOn, searchKey,
currentVersion) so it can render the current selection + version. Added
searchEngineSegment() helper for the picker layout.
Release: ariadne-v0.17.apk sha256
8a655081782ecc17a50a7fcd67c28625ccb0c905cf6b583bdd703a128b2b9b10
Deployed to dl.silentmode.st + silentmode.bch (Sia mirror). Site pages
bumped: silentmode.st/tools + /releases + /theseus + theseus.x.
Users on 0.15 reported "Ariadne can't open many websites" and "start page
is full of dead links". Two independent stale-data issues, both fixed.
Start page — replaces the featured-hero + beacon-fallback grid with the
same nine curated cards navigate.st serves (hello.bch, siatest.bch,
SilentMode.X, Theseus.X, Sirius.X, Hephaestus.X, Prometheus.X, Helios.X,
Hermes.X). No more auto-iteration over every registered name on the
beacon — which is what was surfacing smtest-dc5563.bch, uitest-e20579.p2p,
qrtest-e21970.nav etc. Added product-role badges (infrastructure /
navigator / registrar / code-host / app-store / search / messaging) with
the same acid/blue/purple/green/gold/pink vocabulary Theseus uses.
Bundled snapshot at app/assets/bns-index.json regenerated from the live
chain via the resolver-web.js buildIndex path. Up from 44 entries to 54,
now including all 13 .x names (was 6 — silentmode.x, theseus.x,
hephaestus.x, prometheus.x, helios.x, hermes.x etc. were entirely
missing). So cold-start resolution finds the .x brands without waiting
for a network trip.
Also regenerated dl.silentmode.st/bns-name-index.json — same 54-entry
JSON. That file hadn't been rebuilt since 2026-08-30 and is what every
client's CDN pull path reads on cold start (mobile, extension, resolver).
There's no timer that regenerates it; scratchpad/build-snapshot.mjs is
the reproducible one-shot: node build-snapshot.mjs <cdn-path>.
Sites updated in the same commit (all four surfaces need to advertise the
same version — silentmode.st/tools + /releases + /theseus + theseus.x
were still linking 0.15). APK also mirrored to bns/silentmode/ so
silentmode.bch/ariadne-v0.16.apk serves the same bytes.
Release: ariadne-v0.16.apk sha256
fa58aa7642319faaa6b23f0f0a46c0adad2ce1f3c5957f4d527ac09241b76574
Old links pointed users at ariadne-v0.11.apk from three separate pages
while the in-app auto-updater was already pulling 0.15. New downloaders
got 4 versions behind.
- site-theseus-x/index.html — v0.11 → v0.15, hash updated, meta noting
in-app auto-update. Sia-uploaded to bns/theseus/ so theseus.x reflects
it now.
- site/releases/index.html — bumps the Ariadne row from 0.11 to 0.15
with the new hash and a release note covering the DOWNLOADING/READY/
RETRY chip states shipped in 0.15.
- site/tools/index.html — same v0.11 → v0.15 bump. Also retitled from
"Theseus — Silent Mode" / "Theseus — the browsers" to "Tools — Silent
Mode" / "Silent Mode tools" because the page actually lists every
client (Theseus Win + Android, Ariadne extension, navigate.st relay,
Ariadne standalone Windows resolver) — a tools directory, not a
Theseus-dedicated page. Intro now points at /theseus/ for the
dedicated Theseus landing.
- site/theseus/ NEW — clearnet mirror of theseus.x. Same page, retitled
"Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode" with canonical URL pointing at
silentmode.st/theseus/. Users on the resolver reach theseus.x for the
same content trustlessly; the /theseus/ path is the always-reachable
fallback with a real cert. Also pushes the APK itself to
bns/silentmode/ so silentmode.bch/ariadne-v0.15.apk works too
(dl.silentmode.st and silentmode.bch now serve the same bytes with
identical SHA-256).
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

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.
