Theseus: download tracker, search split, discover-more tier, UX polish
Bundle of UX + feature work. Split from packaging by intent so the diff
is reviewable; the next Theseus rebuild ships it.
Features
- Download tracker (new): session.on("will-download") → per-item state
{id, filename, url, mime, total, received, state, savePath, startedAt}
with updated/done event handlers. New downloadsPop WebContentsView
loads downloads.html (new file) + downloads-preload.js (new file);
panel positioned under a new #downloads toolbar button between search
and Tor. Full IPC: downloads-get, toggle/close/resize-downloads,
download-open/show/cancel/clear, downloads-clear-all. In-memory only —
cross-session persistence is a future addition. Button badge shows
active count + spin/done/err color.
- Search engines split by kind + tier:
* kind: "search" | "llm" — separate headers in picker + settings
("Search with" / "Ask an AI"). Empty sections hidden.
* tier: "catalog" | "extra" — Settings now has THREE panes behind the
"+ Add search engine" button: curated catalog, wider discoverable
bank filtered by a live search input, custom URL form.
* DEFAULT_ENABLED unchanged (5 major engines).
* Custom user-added engines carry tier="custom" (never in catalog/extra
panes).
- 9 tier="extra" engines added (all non-login ?q=): Marginalia, Stract,
Yep, Presearch, MetaGer, Qwant, Swisscows, Naver, Baidu. Same rot rule
as LLMs: if one starts bouncing to a login gate, drop it.
Bug fixes
- Loadbar collapses to 0px when idle (was reserving a permanent 2px
strip below the address bar). .loadbar {height:0} + .loadbar.on
{height:2px} + 120ms transition.
- Native <select> popup theme sync via :root { color-scheme: dark } +
@media(prefers-color-scheme: light). nativeTheme.themeSource already
drives prefers-color-scheme, so the OS popup color follows the app
theme automatically (fixed light popup on dark app / vice versa).
- .ctl layout flipped to flex-direction: row with flex-wrap so
anti-fingerprint mode + value fields fit side-by-side.
Settings restructure
- General section: Startup group at the top ("Open previous windows and
tabs" toggle), then Appearance below with three visual THEME CARDS
(System / Light / Dark) — small mock-browser previews per theme,
Firefox-style, active card gets a blue ring. System pipes through to
nativeTheme.themeSource = "system".
- Search promoted to a top-level sidebar item between General and
Naming. Search-engine controls moved out of General into Search.
- Search section: enabled list shows only enabled engines, grouped by
kind, drag-reorder within a kind. "+ Add search engine" opens the
catalog/extras/custom-URL panel.
Search engine catalog trims (already flagged in prior work)
- Removed ChatGPT / Claude / You.com (login-gated ?q=).
- Removed SearXNG (federated; every single-instance default rots).
Docs
- TheseusNavigator/PENDING.md and GOTCHAS.md born with this work
(see the HANDOFF.md commit for the convention).
- PENDING.md's own "session: 2026-08-02:theseus-ux-polish" group will be
emptied after this ship lands.
Preview harness
- _preview.html + _settings-preview.html stubs updated with kind + tier
+ downloads seed + tier="extra" samples so the preview reflects reality.
Both files are gitignored — local only.
Coordination
- Parallel session's collision-policy work (chrome.html registry chips,
popover switcher, Naming section, in-tab collision prompt) already
landed in commits 256079d/42b340f/b0d6375/78dddda. This commit adds
cleanly on top.

Theseus 0.3.131: Mail promoted to Sidebar quicklink, Nostr signer ships, panels free RAM when idle, Game.X in SM cards
Silent Mode Mail is no longer an extension. The 0.1.0 panel was a black
screen (iframe to mail.silentmode.st which sends X-Frame-Options: DENY;
the browser rendered the block page and still fired the iframe's load
event, so the 5-second "did it embed?" watchdog saw it as loaded and the
fallback never swapped in). The whole extension existed to put one "Open
Mail" button in a panel — that is exactly what a sidebar quicklink does,
without taking a panel slot or an Extensions row. So:
- settings.quickLinks default list gains silentmail at the top
(Silent Mode Mail → https://mail.silentmode.st/).
- migrateAegisRename grew a mail retirement block: any existing
extensions/mail/ folder on the user's box moves to
addons-backups/mail-migrated-<stamp>/ on first boot of this
Theseus, so the old extension vanishes from Settings instead of
sitting there with a broken panel.
- "mail" added to the first-party reserved-ids list so no community
add-on can claim the id after retirement.
Nostr NIP-07 signer finally ships. The bundled-addons/nostr/ folder was
sitting untracked in the main checkout, so the detached-HEAD build
worktree 0.3.130 used never saw it (same reason build/, tor/, snapshots/
have to be hand-copied into the worktree). This build committed the
folder and copied it in. Puts window.nostr on https + localhost pages;
identity is Hermes's key (one npub for DMs and public notes). Per-origin
read/sign grants; kinds 0/3/5/10002 re-prompt every time with no
remember option.
Sidebar panel apps free their render tree after idle. closeLeftPanel
used to keep the loaded page warm forever — great for fast reopen, bad
for RAM when the user docks a heavy panel (Hermes, Pithos, Aegis) once
and never comes back. A 2-minute idle timer now blanks the panel to
about:blank after close; reopen within the window still reuses the
loaded page (cancelLeftPanelIdleUnload on open), reopen after the
window reloads fresh. LEFT_PANEL_IDLE_MS = 2 * 60 * 1000. Right-side
sidebar view (webapp tabs — Telegram, X, WhatsApp, AI chat) is longer-
lived by design and untouched here.
Startpage layout:
- Game.X takes SilentMode.X's slot in the Silent Mode cards (stub
description + a built-in gamepad brand mark until game.x goes
live). SilentMode.X moves to the quick-links strip as the 5th
slot. Still TODO: push the swap into the remote home-cards.json
for existing profiles.
- Light-theme palette flip under body.light. The @media
(prefers-color-scheme: light) block only triggered on OS-level
light preference; picking the "light" background preset left --ink
white against a white page, so hero titles, card titles, slot
labels and the ".bch" extension read as pale ghosts. Added a full
body.light { --ink; --mut; --card; --line; ... } block plus
overrides for the hero + card translucent panels (dark-glass →
light-glass on light theme) and the ctx-menu / modal. Dark theme
untouched.

## Staged for the next release (post-0.3.130)
|
Claude connector: reach add-on sidebar panels (Aegis, Hermes, Pithos, …)
The connector only drove web pages. Add-on sidebar panels — Aegis's
wallet, Hermes's messenger, Pithos's storage panel, anything with
a sidebar-panel capability — were walled off: list_tabs skipped them
and webContents() refused anything that was not kind:"web".
Panels are now first-class tabs with a negative id, kind:"panel", and
an addon/panelId pair. Each open panel is listed next to the real
tabs; a closed one is still listed so a client can see what exists.
screenshot / snapshot / read_page_text / click / type / press_key /
paste_html / paste_text / wait_for / upload_file / evaluate all work
on them with the same TabDriver a web page uses. navigate /
activate_tab / close_tab refuse panels — the user owns panel
visibility, not the connector.
Approval is per add-on under a synthetic theseus-panel://<addon>
origin, so Aegis is approved once and every Aegis panel is reachable
from then on. The approval modal titles itself "Let Claude control
the Aegis panel?" when the origin is a panel origin, and the body
explains the panel is read, not the whole browser profile. Origin
pinning is skipped (the panel is served from the add-on scheme and
never navigates under us); password-field refusal and the action log
still apply, so a PIN input in a wallet panel is never typed into
and every call is in the connector's log.

|
|
- **LANDED: Nostr NIP-07 signer** — new bundled add-on `bundled-addons/nostr/`
|
|
|
|
|
(0.1.0) plus host support. Puts `window.nostr` on https + localhost pages so
|
|
|
|
|
any Nostr client (Primal, Coracle, Snort, nostrudel) can sign with the
|
|
|
|
|
identity Theseus already holds. **Needs a Theseus release**: it changes
|
|
|
|
|
`main.js` and bundles a new add-on, so the extension OTA alone cannot
|
|
|
|
|
deliver it. **MISSED 0.3.130** — the folder is untracked (`??` in git
|
|
|
|
|
status), so the detached-HEAD build worktree never saw it. For 0.3.131
|
|
|
|
|
the ship script must either `git add` the folder first or `cp -r` it
|
|
|
|
|
into the build worktree the same way `build/`, `tor/`, `snapshots/`
|
|
|
|
|
are copied.
|
|
|
|
|
- [lib/nostr-signer.js](lib/nostr-signer.js) — new. Crypto half:
|
|
|
|
|
`getPublicKey`, `signEvent` (BIP340 via nostr-tools `finalizeEvent`),
|
|
|
|
|
nip04 + nip44 encrypt/decrypt. Recomputes `pubkey`/`id` rather than
|
|
|
|
|
trusting the page.
|
|
|
|
|
- [main.js](main.js) — `global._nostrAPI` next to `_hermesAPI`.
|
|
|
|
|
- Identity is Hermes's key (`nostrKeyFromRoot(messengerRoot)`); vault
|
|
|
|
|
with no mnemonic reports no identity instead of failing obscurely.
|
|
|
|
|
- Policy per-origin (read vs sign), kinds 0/3/5/10002 re-prompt every
|
|
|
|
|
time with no remember option.
|
|
|
|
|
- Tests: `scratchpad/signer-test.mjs`, `nostr-policy-test.mjs`,
|
|
|
|
|
`nostr-e2e.mjs`.
|
|
|
|
|
- **LANDED: Home — SilentMode.X moved to the quick-links strip, Game.X
|
|
|
|
|
takes its place in the Silent Mode cards.** [home.html](home.html)
|
|
|
|
|
`defaultState().sections.sm` and `.q`. Game.X entry uses a built-in
|
|
|
|
|
`game` brand mark (new SVG in `BRAND`); the real description and
|
|
|
|
|
favicon will come from the live site once game.x is up (currently a
|
|
|
|
|
stub). SilentMode.X moves into the slots strip as the 5th quick-link.
|
|
|
|
|
**Still TODO:** update the remote cache at
|
|
|
|
|
`https://dl.silentmode.st/home-cards.json` so existing profiles pick
|
|
|
|
|
the swap up without resetting (local `sections.sm` isn't reseeded by
|
|
|
|
|
`migrateCards` — only the remote fetch rewrites it for installed
|
|
|
|
|
users).
|
|
|
|
|
- **LANDED: Mail is now a Sidebar quicklink, not an extension.** The
|
|
|
|
|
user flagged two things in one: the Mail add-on's 0.1.0 panel was a
|
|
|
|
|
black screen (iframe + XFO: DENY), AND Mail conceptually belongs
|
|
|
|
|
under Settings → Sidebar (webapp quicklinks) rather than Settings →
|
|
|
|
|
Extensions. Both resolved by dropping the extension form entirely:
|
|
|
|
|
- `settings.quickLinks` default list in [main.js](main.js) gains
|
|
|
|
|
`{ id: "silentmail", url: "https://mail.silentmode.st/", title:
|
|
|
|
|
"Silent Mode Mail" }` as the first entry.
|
|
|
|
|
- `migrateAegisRename()` grew a mail retirement block: on first boot
|
|

|
|
of this Theseus, any installed `extensions/mail/` folder moves to
|
|
|
|
|
`addons-backups/mail-migrated-<stamp>/`. The one-off `mail/`
|
|
|
|
|
directory I added under `bundled-addons/` earlier in this session
|
|
|
|
|
is removed again (the quicklink + retire is the right path).
|
|
|
|
|
- `"mail"` added to the first-party reserved-ids list so a community
|
|
|
|
|
add-on can't claim the id after retirement.
|
|
|
|
|
- The quicklink does exactly what the old extension's "Open Mail"
|
|
|
|
|
button did (new tab at `mail.silentmode.st`), without taking a
|
|
|
|
|
panel slot or an Extensions row.
|
|
|
|
|
- **LANDED: Left-side sidebar panels free their render tree after idle.**
|
|
|
|
|
[main.js](main.js) `closeLeftPanel`: closed panels used to keep their
|
|
|
|
|
loaded page (`leftPanelLoadedId` kept, webContents warm) forever —
|
|
|
|
|
great for fast reopen, bad for RAM when the user docks a heavy
|
|
|
|
|
app-like panel (Hermes, Pithos, mail) once and never comes back.
|
|
|
|
|
Now a 2-minute idle timer blanks the panel to `about:blank` after
|
|
|
|
|
close, dropping iframes/media/listeners; reopen inside the window
|
|
|
|
|
still reuses the loaded page (`cancelLeftPanelIdleUnload` on open).
|
|
|
|
|
`LEFT_PANEL_IDLE_MS = 2 * 60 * 1000`. Does NOT touch the right-side
|
|
|
|
|
`sidebar` view (webapp tabs — Telegram, X, WhatsApp, AI chat) — those
|
|
|
|
|
are longer-lived by design; follow-up decision whether to apply the
|
|
|
|
|
same idle unload there.
|
|
|
|
|
- **LANDED: Startpage light theme palette flip under `body.light`.**
|
|
|
|
|
[home.html](home.html): the existing `@media (prefers-color-scheme:
|
|
|
|
|
light)` block only flipped tokens when the OS preferred light. Picking
|
|
|
|
|
the "light" background preset (`body.light`, set by `applyBg()`) left
|
|
|
|
|
`--ink` white against a white page, so hero title, SM card titles,
|
|
|
|
|
slot labels and the ".bch" extension read as pale ghosts. Added a
|
|
|
|
|
full `body.light { --ink; --mut; --card; --line; ... }` block plus
|
|
|
|
|
overrides for the hero/card translucent panels (dark-glass → light-
|
|
|
|
|
glass on light theme so the dark text inside reads), the ctx-menu
|
|
|
|
|
and modal (white surfaces, dark text). Dark theme untouched.

Claude connector: reach add-on sidebar panels (Aegis, Hermes, Pithos, …)
The connector only drove web pages. Add-on sidebar panels — Aegis's
wallet, Hermes's messenger, Pithos's storage panel, anything with
a sidebar-panel capability — were walled off: list_tabs skipped them
and webContents() refused anything that was not kind:"web".
Panels are now first-class tabs with a negative id, kind:"panel", and
an addon/panelId pair. Each open panel is listed next to the real
tabs; a closed one is still listed so a client can see what exists.
screenshot / snapshot / read_page_text / click / type / press_key /
paste_html / paste_text / wait_for / upload_file / evaluate all work
on them with the same TabDriver a web page uses. navigate /
activate_tab / close_tab refuse panels — the user owns panel
visibility, not the connector.
Approval is per add-on under a synthetic theseus-panel://<addon>
origin, so Aegis is approved once and every Aegis panel is reachable
from then on. The approval modal titles itself "Let Claude control
the Aegis panel?" when the origin is a panel origin, and the body
explains the panel is read, not the whole browser profile. Origin
pinning is skipped (the panel is served from the add-on scheme and
never navigates under us); password-field refusal and the action log
still apply, so a PIN input in a wallet panel is never typed into
and every call is in the connector's log.

Theseus: download tracker, search split, discover-more tier, UX polish
Bundle of UX + feature work. Split from packaging by intent so the diff
is reviewable; the next Theseus rebuild ships it.
Features
- Download tracker (new): session.on("will-download") → per-item state
{id, filename, url, mime, total, received, state, savePath, startedAt}
with updated/done event handlers. New downloadsPop WebContentsView
loads downloads.html (new file) + downloads-preload.js (new file);
panel positioned under a new #downloads toolbar button between search
and Tor. Full IPC: downloads-get, toggle/close/resize-downloads,
download-open/show/cancel/clear, downloads-clear-all. In-memory only —
cross-session persistence is a future addition. Button badge shows
active count + spin/done/err color.
- Search engines split by kind + tier:
* kind: "search" | "llm" — separate headers in picker + settings
("Search with" / "Ask an AI"). Empty sections hidden.
* tier: "catalog" | "extra" — Settings now has THREE panes behind the
"+ Add search engine" button: curated catalog, wider discoverable
bank filtered by a live search input, custom URL form.
* DEFAULT_ENABLED unchanged (5 major engines).
* Custom user-added engines carry tier="custom" (never in catalog/extra
panes).
- 9 tier="extra" engines added (all non-login ?q=): Marginalia, Stract,
Yep, Presearch, MetaGer, Qwant, Swisscows, Naver, Baidu. Same rot rule
as LLMs: if one starts bouncing to a login gate, drop it.
Bug fixes
- Loadbar collapses to 0px when idle (was reserving a permanent 2px
strip below the address bar). .loadbar {height:0} + .loadbar.on
{height:2px} + 120ms transition.
- Native <select> popup theme sync via :root { color-scheme: dark } +
@media(prefers-color-scheme: light). nativeTheme.themeSource already
drives prefers-color-scheme, so the OS popup color follows the app
theme automatically (fixed light popup on dark app / vice versa).
- .ctl layout flipped to flex-direction: row with flex-wrap so
anti-fingerprint mode + value fields fit side-by-side.
Settings restructure
- General section: Startup group at the top ("Open previous windows and
tabs" toggle), then Appearance below with three visual THEME CARDS
(System / Light / Dark) — small mock-browser previews per theme,
Firefox-style, active card gets a blue ring. System pipes through to
nativeTheme.themeSource = "system".
- Search promoted to a top-level sidebar item between General and
Naming. Search-engine controls moved out of General into Search.
- Search section: enabled list shows only enabled engines, grouped by
kind, drag-reorder within a kind. "+ Add search engine" opens the
catalog/extras/custom-URL panel.
Search engine catalog trims (already flagged in prior work)
- Removed ChatGPT / Claude / You.com (login-gated ?q=).
- Removed SearXNG (federated; every single-instance default rots).
Docs
- TheseusNavigator/PENDING.md and GOTCHAS.md born with this work
(see the HANDOFF.md commit for the convention).
- PENDING.md's own "session: 2026-08-02:theseus-ux-polish" group will be
emptied after this ship lands.
Preview harness
- _preview.html + _settings-preview.html stubs updated with kind + tier
+ downloads seed + tier="extra" samples so the preview reflects reality.
Both files are gitignored — local only.
Coordination
- Parallel session's collision-policy work (chrome.html registry chips,
popover switcher, Naming section, in-tab collision prompt) already
landed in commits 256079d/42b340f/b0d6375/78dddda. This commit adds
cleanly on top.
