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.
Two bugs the user hit while browsing the dev docs:
1. ariadne.x/dev/ used root-style hrefs ("thread", "dev", "assets/…") that
assumed the <base> tag workaround was active. On a client that walks
relative URLs against the page URL (BCNR direct hosts, Theseus in
gateway mode), every click appended one more segment — "/dev/plug-ins",
"/dev/plug-ins/extensions", etc. — because "plug-ins" resolved against
"/dev/" instead of the site root. Switched the dev page to proper "../"
relative paths (../thread/, ../assets/favicon.svg, ../#download) so it
resolves correctly regardless of host or base-tag presence. Same fix
on ariadne.x/thread/ (brand href="" went nowhere; the Product column
pointed every link at the current directory).
2. Theseus sub-pages had drifted apart. The home topnav was already
trimmed to Plug-ins · Extensions · Developers · Sirius.X · Get Theseus,
but plug-ins/, extensions/, brand/, and whitepaper/ still carried the
old "Brand" link in their topnav, had no "Developers" entry at all,
and lacked the mobile hamburger. Standardised all four to the home
pattern and dropped Brand + Whitepaper from the topnav on each page.
Both pages still exist and are reachable from the footer; neither is
on the top-level nav path.
Also added a Developers link + hamburger to ariadne.x/thread/ so the
Ariadne family matches the Theseus family on every page.
- 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.
