Theseus core:
- addons-host: manifest.category ("plugin") propagates through snapshot(); new
addon API surface checkAndStageSelfUpdate() + restartApp() so a plug-in
can offer in-panel "update now → restart to apply" without pushing the
user to Settings.
- main.js: wires the two new hooks into the AddonHost constructor.
- settings.html: Extensions listing filters out category==="plugin"; those
add-ons live in Plug-ins instead, single source of truth.
Aegis 0.6.31:
- BTC picker trimmed to Signet only; testnet3 hidden (adapter kept so any
existing wallet still loads).
- Wallet strip groups by chain, not chain:network; ticker gets a ▾ chevron
and a dropdown listing every subnetwork with its own totals. Mainnet
reads as the plain ticker; testnets carry a small Chipnet/Signet/Sepolia
pill inline.
- Per-unit price sits directly under the ticker; amount + fiat mirror on
the right — one glance covers name/price/holding/value.
- + Add and ⋯ More promoted from the strip into the header's action row,
next to the new ✎ chip (was the redundant top ⋯). Duplicate "Manage
current wallet" entry removed from the More menu.
- Footer update chip is a two-step flow via the new API: stage → restart.
Falls back to opening Settings on any Theseus that lacks the hooks.
- Manifest declares "category": "plugin".
Users saw a blank window with a white strip across the top for seconds
on launch. Root cause: every part of startup, including session restore,
waited for chrome.html's did-finish-load. That event also waits for the
page's subresources, and the bookmarks bar loads its favicons over
bns:// — a BNS lookup plus a network fetch each — so a slow link held the
whole boot. On top of that, seven hidden overlay renderers, every restored
tab, the BNS index build and three network fetches all started in the
same tick and stalled the main thread ~1 s while the toolbar tried to
paint.
- Continue boot at chrome.html's dom-ready (toolbar scripts have run, IPC
listeners exist) instead of did-finish-load; 8 s fallback timer.
- Window and chrome view get the toolbar's --bg for the active theme so
the pre-paint frame is never white.
- Overlay pages (site info, engine picker, downloads, suggestions,
password fill, link status, approval) load 250 ms after the toolbar or
on first use; the approval modal awaits its page so a dapp request
can't hang.
- Session restore is staggered: active tab first, then one background
tab per 150 ms slotted into its saved strip position. Session file v2
records the active index; v1 arrays still load (active = last, as the
old loop effectively did).
- AddonHost gains api.whenUiReady(); Aegis 0.6.2 defers its heavy
dependency loading (noble precompute, bitcoinjs, libauth, WizardConnect)
behind it.
- BNS snapshot warm-up still starts right after createWindow (bookmark
favicons need it); Sia refresh, update check and home-card fetch move
to the post-paint phase.
Measured on a clone of the real profile with nine restored tabs: toolbar
usable at ~0.7 s instead of ~1.5 s, main-thread stall during toolbar load
down from ~1.1 s to ~0.2 s.
Aegis Wallet 0.4.4 → 0.6.1:
- Vault lifecycle from the wallet gate. The locked / not-yet-created states
now show a master-password form (with optional BIP39 mnemonic on setup)
instead of redirecting users to Settings › Passwords. New
api.vault.lifecycle {status, setup, unlock, lock} in addons-host, gated by
the existing "vault-derive" capability. api.openSettings(section) also
added; settings.html honours a #section hash on open.
- Imported BCH wallets (design M.1a, read-only). Paste a mnemonic + BIP44
path or a WIF; the cashaddr is derived in the add-on, the signer material
goes to a separate wallet-imports.enc via api.vault.imports {list, add,
remove, signer}. Argus password-vault gains createImports / unlockImports /
saveImports with its own KDF salt so the imports key is disjoint from the
passwords key. lib/chain-bch-imported.js is a single-address Electrum
adapter; spend support is deferred to M.1b.
- Opt-in USD prices via CoinGecko (lib/prices.js), off by default, persisted
in add-on storage. Fiat lines under balances, in the wallet picker, and a
portfolio total when 2+ wallets are open. Settings tab is now reachable
while the vault is locked so the toggle is always available.
- WizardConnect wallet-side pairing for BCH wallets (lib/wc.js, lib/wc-sign.js).
@wizardconnect/{core,wallet} are loaded dynamically via api.import to stay
on the right side of LGPL §4d. Sign requests go through approvalModal and
are restricted to P2PKH inputs with SIGHASH_ALL|FORKID|UTXOS.
- DGB adapter load is now soft-fail: when Aegis runs from userData/addons the
bundled ESM can't resolve peer deps, so DGB becomes unavailable instead of
taking the whole add-on down.
The toolbar dock still showed the 🛡 emoji even after chrome.html learned
to render data-URI icons — because registerSidebarPanel({icon}) is the
per-panel icon that overrides manifest.icon, and Aegis was passing "🛡"
verbatim. Dropping the override lets addons-host's `icon = manifest.icon`
default kick in, so the dock button pulls the branded aegis.x/brand
shield the manifest now advertises.
Version bumped 0.4.1 → 0.4.3 to force seedBundledAddons to reseed the
new index.js on next launch.

Bundled since 0.3.27:
32d4b75 - Aegis (bchwallet) gains its own update card in Settings >
General beside Ariadne. Check for updates hits the same signed OTA
endpoint the boot timer uses; Restart to apply appears when a signed
newer version is staged. Uses the existing addons-check-updates + a
new app-restart IPC. New Aegis versions ship without a Theseus release.
32d4b75 (same commit) - DevTools (F12 / Ctrl+Shift+I) opens docked to
the right of the tab (mode: 'right') instead of a detached window.
Matches stock Chrome. Users who prefer detached can drag out via the
DevTools own toolbar.
b71c925 - Search-engine favicons in Settings > Search now use Google's
/s2/favicons service — DuckDuckGo's ip3 source returned 404 for enough
hosts (Brave, Bing, Yandex, etc.) that half the list was falling
through to the emoji placeholder.
Deployed. Verified LIVE 0.3.28.
