Hermes: wire NIP-17 messaging into Theseus, provision chipnet hermes.bch

- Argus/src/lib/hermes-derive.js: HKDF(silentmode/messenger/0) using libauth
so the registrar can compute np without pulling nostr-tools into Argus
- Argus/src/register-hermes-chipnet.mjs: idempotent REG/UPD script; publishes
np (Nostr pubkey) and nr (relay) records for a chipnet name
- TheseusNavigator/lib/hermes.js: same derivation + wrap/unwrap + record

Hermes MVP: threaded chat UI, contacts, persistent history, --messages flag
Builds on the previous Hermes sessions (NIP-17 crypto + chipnet hermes.bch
+ Theseus Messages window) to turn the flat inbox into something usable.
main.js (hermes block):
- Persistent inbox per identity at
<userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/inbox.jsonl (append-only JSONL, replayed on
init). Read-state at <userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/read.json so unread
badges survive restarts.
- Address book at <userData>/hermes/contacts.json: list / add / update /
remove. hermes-contacts-add resolves .bch name OR npub OR hex pk,
canonicalises, writes.
- Reverse-resolve consults contacts first, chain second: a user-curated
nickname wins over the on-chain np lookup.
- hermes-send also records the outgoing message to the inbox so thread
view shows both sides (only when at least one relay accepted).
- Inbox messages carry direction + peerPkHex + peerName so the renderer
can group by thread without re-doing the pairing logic.
- --messages CLI flag opens the panel at launch (first instance via
whenReady, second-instance via handleLaunch) so the dev harness and
power users don't need Ctrl+Shift+M.
- Dev-only auto-init: THESEUS_HERMES_DEV_MNEMONIC env, gated on
THESEUS_USER_DATA so it refuses to touch a production profile.
- HERMES_INBOX_LIMIT raised 200 -> 2000 now that history actually sticks.
messages-preload.js:
- Adds hermes.contacts.{list, add, update, remove} and
hermes.markThreadRead; status + onMessage/onStatus unchanged.
messages.html:
- Replaces the flat inbox with a two-column layout: contact list (search
+ unread badges + last-message preview) on the left, selected thread
on the right with sender bubbles, timestamps, inline Enter-to-send
compose, remove-contact affordance.
- .bch suffix stripped from displayed names (TLD is noise in chat UI;
other TLDs stay as disambiguation).
- Mark-thread-read fires on open; vault-bind path kept intact.

--me:#2a3a1e; /* outgoing bubble */
--them:#1d2634; /* incoming bubble */
fix(theseus/light): darker --acid in light mode so brand green stays legible
#d6ff3d on a #ffffff / #f6f8fb background sits at ~1.3:1 contrast — the
acid green went almost invisible any time the user flipped Settings >
Theme to light. Override --acid to #4d7300 in every chrome page's
prefers-color-scheme: light block. Same hue family, ~5.5:1 contrast
on white, still reads as the same brand color.
Also: chrome.html was missing --acid: #d6ff3d in :root entirely (every
site used var(--acid, #d6ff3d) fallbacks). Adding the real declaration
means the light override can actually take effect.
Files touched: chrome.html, home.html, settings.html, error.html,
approval.html, messages.html. downloads.html is a dark-only overlay
(hardcoded), collision.html already had a proper light-mode --bcdn.
Tint fills (rgba(214,255,61,X) at low alpha) stay as-is — the specific
hue barely matters through 8% opacity.
Verified live via CDP: getComputedStyle(--acid) returned #d6ff3d in
dark, #4d7300 after cfg.set('theme','light').

Hermes MVP: threaded chat UI, contacts, persistent history, --messages flag
Builds on the previous Hermes sessions (NIP-17 crypto + chipnet hermes.bch
+ Theseus Messages window) to turn the flat inbox into something usable.
main.js (hermes block):
- Persistent inbox per identity at
<userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/inbox.jsonl (append-only JSONL, replayed on
init). Read-state at <userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/read.json so unread
badges survive restarts.
- Address book at <userData>/hermes/contacts.json: list / add / update /
remove. hermes-contacts-add resolves .bch name OR npub OR hex pk,
canonicalises, writes.
- Reverse-resolve consults contacts first, chain second: a user-curated
nickname wins over the on-chain np lookup.
- hermes-send also records the outgoing message to the inbox so thread
view shows both sides (only when at least one relay accepted).
- Inbox messages carry direction + peerPkHex + peerName so the renderer
can group by thread without re-doing the pairing logic.
- --messages CLI flag opens the panel at launch (first instance via
whenReady, second-instance via handleLaunch) so the dev harness and
power users don't need Ctrl+Shift+M.

Hermes MVP: threaded chat UI, contacts, persistent history, --messages flag
Builds on the previous Hermes sessions (NIP-17 crypto + chipnet hermes.bch
+ Theseus Messages window) to turn the flat inbox into something usable.
main.js (hermes block):
- Persistent inbox per identity at
<userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/inbox.jsonl (append-only JSONL, replayed on
init). Read-state at <userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/read.json so unread
badges survive restarts.
- Address book at <userData>/hermes/contacts.json: list / add / update /
remove. hermes-contacts-add resolves .bch name OR npub OR hex pk,
canonicalises, writes.
- Reverse-resolve consults contacts first, chain second: a user-curated
nickname wins over the on-chain np lookup.
- hermes-send also records the outgoing message to the inbox so thread
view shows both sides (only when at least one relay accepted).
- Inbox messages carry direction + peerPkHex + peerName so the renderer
can group by thread without re-doing the pairing logic.
- --messages CLI flag opens the panel at launch (first instance via
whenReady, second-instance via handleLaunch) so the dev harness and
power users don't need Ctrl+Shift+M.
- Dev-only auto-init: THESEUS_HERMES_DEV_MNEMONIC env, gated on
THESEUS_USER_DATA so it refuses to touch a production profile.
- HERMES_INBOX_LIMIT raised 200 -> 2000 now that history actually sticks.
messages-preload.js:
- Adds hermes.contacts.{list, add, update, remove} and
hermes.markThreadRead; status + onMessage/onStatus unchanged.
messages.html:
- Replaces the flat inbox with a two-column layout: contact list (search
+ unread badges + last-message preview) on the left, selected thread
on the right with sender bubbles, timestamps, inline Enter-to-send
compose, remove-contact affordance.
- .bch suffix stripped from displayed names (TLD is noise in chat UI;
other TLDs stay as disambiguation).
- Mark-thread-read fires on open; vault-bind path kept intact.

Hermes: Ermis shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E), sidebar add-on, vCard import, brand kit
Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+M -> Ctrl+Shift+E. Chrome owns Ctrl+Shift+M as
'switch profile' and E matches the Greek spelling (Ermis).
Sidebar discoverability: new bundled add-on at bundled-addons/hermes/
registers a left-strip icon + launcher panel. The panel is a thin chrome
(mark + 'Open Messages' + shortcut hint) that forwards clicks through
api.onMessage -> ipcMain.emit('hermes-open-request') -> openHermesWindow.
All real messaging code stays in main.js — add-on is purely for discovery.
Address book: opt-in vCard (.vcf) import. Dialog in the Add Contact modal
lets the user pick a file; main.js parses BEGIN:VCARD blocks for X-BNS-NAME
/ X-NOSTR-NPUB / X-NOSTR-PUBKEY plus .bch names and npubs mentioned in
NOTE fields. Candidates are previewed per-contact with checkboxes; nothing
is added until the user confirms. Non-matching vCards are returned too (so
the user can still add manually) rather than silently dropped. Nothing is
uploaded; parsing is local.
site/hermes: status badge flipped from 'designed - not yet built' to
'MVP - desktop'. New 'What ships today' grid covers threaded chat, send by
name, address book, local history (all live) and mobile + Tor (next /
planned). Hero carries the new Ctrl+Shift+E shortcut and a link to
/hermes/branding.
site/hermes/branding: new page. Mark SVG (winged envelope, two variants
for 16-20px and 24-160px display sizes), palette (reuses Silent Mode
tokens + an amber accent that's distinctly warm-yellow, not Hermes-orange
— so it never collides with Hermès the fashion house), name explanation
(English Hermes / Greek Ermis), voice notes, do/don't table, MPL-2.0
attribution.
Hermes/MOBILE-RECOMMENDATION.md: analysis of three mobile paths (inside
Ariadne / standalone / hybrid). Recommendation is Option 1: ship as a

Hermes MVP: threaded chat UI, contacts, persistent history, --messages flag
Builds on the previous Hermes sessions (NIP-17 crypto + chipnet hermes.bch
+ Theseus Messages window) to turn the flat inbox into something usable.
main.js (hermes block):
- Persistent inbox per identity at
<userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/inbox.jsonl (append-only JSONL, replayed on
init). Read-state at <userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/read.json so unread
badges survive restarts.
- Address book at <userData>/hermes/contacts.json: list / add / update /
remove. hermes-contacts-add resolves .bch name OR npub OR hex pk,
canonicalises, writes.
- Reverse-resolve consults contacts first, chain second: a user-curated
nickname wins over the on-chain np lookup.
- hermes-send also records the outgoing message to the inbox so thread
view shows both sides (only when at least one relay accepted).
- Inbox messages carry direction + peerPkHex + peerName so the renderer
can group by thread without re-doing the pairing logic.
- --messages CLI flag opens the panel at launch (first instance via
whenReady, second-instance via handleLaunch) so the dev harness and
power users don't need Ctrl+Shift+M.

Hermes: Ermis shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+E), sidebar add-on, vCard import, brand kit
Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+M -> Ctrl+Shift+E. Chrome owns Ctrl+Shift+M as
'switch profile' and E matches the Greek spelling (Ermis).
Sidebar discoverability: new bundled add-on at bundled-addons/hermes/
registers a left-strip icon + launcher panel. The panel is a thin chrome
(mark + 'Open Messages' + shortcut hint) that forwards clicks through
api.onMessage -> ipcMain.emit('hermes-open-request') -> openHermesWindow.
All real messaging code stays in main.js — add-on is purely for discovery.
Address book: opt-in vCard (.vcf) import. Dialog in the Add Contact modal
lets the user pick a file; main.js parses BEGIN:VCARD blocks for X-BNS-NAME
/ X-NOSTR-NPUB / X-NOSTR-PUBKEY plus .bch names and npubs mentioned in
NOTE fields. Candidates are previewed per-contact with checkboxes; nothing
is added until the user confirms. Non-matching vCards are returned too (so
the user can still add manually) rather than silently dropped. Nothing is
uploaded; parsing is local.
site/hermes: status badge flipped from 'designed - not yet built' to
'MVP - desktop'. New 'What ships today' grid covers threaded chat, send by
name, address book, local history (all live) and mobile + Tor (next /
planned). Hero carries the new Ctrl+Shift+E shortcut and a link to
/hermes/branding.
site/hermes/branding: new page. Mark SVG (winged envelope, two variants
for 16-20px and 24-160px display sizes), palette (reuses Silent Mode
tokens + an amber accent that's distinctly warm-yellow, not Hermes-orange
— so it never collides with Hermès the fashion house), name explanation
(English Hermes / Greek Ermis), voice notes, do/don't table, MPL-2.0
attribution.
Hermes/MOBILE-RECOMMENDATION.md: analysis of three mobile paths (inside
Ariadne / standalone / hybrid). Recommendation is Option 1: ship as a
screen inside Ariadne. Reuses the wallet seed, aligns with the design
doc's 'one seed many purposes' architecture, lowest total cost.

badges survive restarts.
- Address book at <userData>/hermes/contacts.json: list / add / update /
remove. hermes-contacts-add resolves .bch name OR npub OR hex pk,
canonicalises, writes.
- Reverse-resolve consults contacts first, chain second: a user-curated
nickname wins over the on-chain np lookup.
- hermes-send also records the outgoing message to the inbox so thread
view shows both sides (only when at least one relay accepted).
- Inbox messages carry direction + peerPkHex + peerName so the renderer
can group by thread without re-doing the pairing logic.
- --messages CLI flag opens the panel at launch (first instance via
whenReady, second-instance via handleLaunch) so the dev harness and
power users don't need Ctrl+Shift+M.
- Dev-only auto-init: THESEUS_HERMES_DEV_MNEMONIC env, gated on
THESEUS_USER_DATA so it refuses to touch a production profile.
- HERMES_INBOX_LIMIT raised 200 -> 2000 now that history actually sticks.

Hermes MVP: threaded chat UI, contacts, persistent history, --messages flag
Builds on the previous Hermes sessions (NIP-17 crypto + chipnet hermes.bch
+ Theseus Messages window) to turn the flat inbox into something usable.
main.js (hermes block):
- Persistent inbox per identity at
<userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/inbox.jsonl (append-only JSONL, replayed on
init). Read-state at <userData>/hermes/<pkHex>/read.json so unread
badges survive restarts.
- Address book at <userData>/hermes/contacts.json: list / add / update /
remove. hermes-contacts-add resolves .bch name OR npub OR hex pk,
canonicalises, writes.
- Reverse-resolve consults contacts first, chain second: a user-curated
nickname wins over the on-chain np lookup.
- hermes-send also records the outgoing message to the inbox so thread
view shows both sides (only when at least one relay accepted).
- Inbox messages carry direction + peerPkHex + peerName so the renderer
can group by thread without re-doing the pairing logic.
- --messages CLI flag opens the panel at launch (first instance via
whenReady, second-instance via handleLaunch) so the dev harness and
power users don't need Ctrl+Shift+M.
- Dev-only auto-init: THESEUS_HERMES_DEV_MNEMONIC env, gated on
THESEUS_USER_DATA so it refuses to touch a production profile.
- HERMES_INBOX_LIMIT raised 200 -> 2000 now that history actually sticks.
messages-preload.js:
- Adds hermes.contacts.{list, add, update, remove} and
hermes.markThreadRead; status + onMessage/onStatus unchanged.
messages.html:
- Replaces the flat inbox with a two-column layout: contact list (search
+ unread badges + last-message preview) on the left, selected thread
on the right with sender bubbles, timestamps, inline Enter-to-send
compose, remove-contact affordance.
- .bch suffix stripped from displayed names (TLD is noise in chat UI;
other TLDs stay as disambiguation).
- Mark-thread-read fires on open; vault-bind path kept intact.
