The connector ships off by default with the next Theseus release; users
need the setup steps (claude mcp add with the panel's token) and a plain
account of what it can and cannot do before turning it on.
The Sirius.X / Theseus.X / Ariadne.X / Hephaestus.X links in the family
topnavs and body copy were written as full https URLs — href="https://sirius.x/".
In Theseus's own browser (where the current page is served over the bns://
scheme) that absolute URL triggers the gateway-fallback path on top of the
current host, producing URLs like bns://theseus.x/bns/sirius.x/ that then
accumulate segments as the user clicks around.
Switched 56 cross-family link hrefs to protocol-relative (href="//sirius.x/"
etc.). Protocol-relative URLs inherit the scheme of the current page, so:
- In Theseus on bns://theseus.x/ the link resolves to bns://sirius.x/ —
direct BCNR, no gateway rewrite, no URL accumulation.
- On the silentmode.st ICANN mirror it resolves to https://sirius.x/ —
unchanged from the previous behaviour.
Only the four sibling .X hosts were swapped; silentmode.st, dl.silentmode.st,
code.silentmode.st, navigate.st, and every forge or API URL still carry
their explicit scheme.
A developer / agent landing page on both .X sites so an LLM or a human
porting the resolver has everything in one place and does not need the
public gateway to understand how to talk to BNS.
ariadne.x/dev/ is the canonical page. Covers:
- Why: resolve names directly from the chain, with no operator in the
middle.
- BNS1 in one page: beacons, cash-token certificates, OP_RETURN payloads,
REG/UPD/REL, chipnet network constants, the six indexer rules
(including the 2026-10-04 one-message rule).
- The record-type table — u, h, a, ip, p, s3, tls, c, bl.
- A minimum viable resolver in under 100 lines of Node.js that pulls the
beacon's history, parses the OP_RETURNs, and prints a name's records.
- Pointers to every production implementation (Argus JS, Ariadne Kotlin,
the Windows Thread, the gateway) and every spec document on the forge.
- Public endpoints with a trust note: convenience, not consensus.
- Three paths for embedding Ariadne's Thread in your own app: chain-install
the Windows service, import the resolver library directly, or call the
local HTTP API; platform coverage table; MPL-2.0 licence note.
theseus.x/dev/ is a shorter page that cross-links to ariadne.x/dev/ for
the resolver work and covers Theseus-specific topics inline — the
extension publishing path (register a .x name on sirius.x, PUT signed
tarball to /api/ext, Theseus verifies the signature against the
on-chain owner before anything runs) and the first-party plug-in
surface.
Both pages are wired into the home-page topnav, mobile dropdown, and
footer Product column.
