chipnet.imaginary.cash's web explorer is returning 502, so every "Explorer"
button on a chipnet wallet led to a Bad Gateway. Its Electrum endpoint on
:50004 is a separate service and is fine — balances, history and the send
path were never affected, which is worth stating because a dead explorer
link looks like a dead wallet.
The explorer now resolves transactions as well as addresses, so it can back
both links rather than half of them. One search box: 64 hex characters is
treated as a transaction id, anything else goes to the cashaddr decoder so
it can complain precisely. A transaction shows confirmations, total out,
size and timestamp, its inputs as links to the parent transactions, and its
outputs as links to the receiving addresses — in-page, without a reload.
Inputs deliberately show no amount: Electrum does not resolve it, and
fetching every parent transaction to display one number is not worth the
round-trips.
Aegis's chipnet explorerTx/explorerAddr now point there. Same chain data,
read over the same Electrum connection the wallet already trusts, and a page
we can fix ourselves the next time one breaks. Mainnet is untouched.
Import accepts a picture of a QR code. The file is decoded in the panel by
the vendored jsQR, drawn to a canvas: no upload, no network, no camera.
Image, not camera, on purpose. Theseus sets blockCamera + hideMediaDevices
by default and hides device labels from fingerprinting; a camera scanner
would fail silently for everyone until they turned that off globally, and a
wallet should not be the reason a privacy browser gives up the camera. A
photo or screenshot of the code needs no permission at all.
What comes back is classified, never trusted. A QR is opaque to the person
holding it, and "scan this to restore your wallet" is a working phish, so
the decode only chooses which field to fill:
BIP39-shaped (12/15/18/21/24 lowercase words) -> mnemonic field
WIF or 32-byte hex -> private key field
anything else -> nothing is filled; the
decoded text is shown so
the user can see it was a
URL, an address, or junk
Nothing auto-submits. The user reads what landed in the box and presses
Import, and the host handler still does the real validation.
jsQR 1.4.0 is vendored at lib/jsqr.js under Apache-2.0 with its LICENSE
beside it, unmodified and unminified — code that touches seed phrases should
be auditable in the shipped add-on, not an opaque blob. It is 57 KB gzipped.
Verified by round-tripping through the shipped path: Aegis's own encoder
builds the QR, it is rasterised to a real PNG File, and decodeQrFile() reads
it back byte-exact; an image with no code returns null rather than throwing;
and driving the actual file input fills the mnemonic for a seed, fills the
key field for a WIF, and leaves every field untouched for a phishing URL.
Navigation base, the way Firefox does about:preferences#privacy: the
address bar follows the Settings page (theseus://settings/privacy) and
the hash mirrors it, so every page has a link; a page can have
sub-pages (theseus://settings/privacy/exceptions) with a breadcrumb and
a back arrow; open-settings and theseus:// links accept the two-level
slug.
Privacy now reads top-down: a "Theseus is on guard" card (Shield and
its running total, cookie pop-ups answered, Tor state, version), then
Tracking protection with the Shield and Cookie Pop-ups cards moved here
from Performance and a Manage exceptions sub-page listing the sites
each add-on was told to leave alone (remove to protect again), then
Device access, Anti-fingerprinting, Network (Tor switch and the VPN
panel) and Browsing data. Performance is about resources again.
Both selects grow a "Frequently used" optgroup above "All languages",
holding up to ten entries ranked by how often each language has actually
been translated to or from.
Counted on a successful translation, not on a dropdown change: picking
your way down the list looking for something would otherwise rank every
language you skimmed past as highly as the ones you work in. A
detected source counts too — with Auto-detect on you never pick that
language explicitly, but it is one you read.
Ties break on the language's display name so the order is stable rather
than dependent on object key order. Counts live in the existing uiState,
so they persist through the saveUi/loadState path already there, and the
group only appears once there is something to put in it.
Verified in the harness: one translation records exactly one use for the
target and one for the detected source; the cap holds at ten with
fifteen tracked; and a pre-seeded profile comes back with its group,
target and zoom restored, Auto-detect still first in the source select.
Three bugs, all found by driving the add-on in a real Theseus and
watching the egress IP rather than reasoning about it.
1. The generated config used pre-1.11 schema. `sniff` on an inbound and
the `block` outbound type were deprecated in sing-box 1.11 and
REMOVED in 1.13, so 1.14.1 refused the whole file and exited 1.
Routing is now a bare `final`; rule `action` semantics changed in
1.12 and the explicit inbound→outbound rule was never needed.
2. xray-core 26.3.27's REALITY would not complete a handshake with a
sing-box client — and, after ruling out keys (three derivations, a
fresh pair used verbatim), shortIds (explicit and empty), clock skew,
dest reachability, TLS 1.3/X25519 on the dest, and xtls-rprx-vision,
not with a correctly configured xray client either. sing-box against
sing-box works first try. The exits now run sing-box, which is what
the add-on already ships to every client, so there is no longer a
cross-implementation surface at all. Migration script included; it
keeps the port, the SNI and the existing uuid pool and only changes
the Reality keypair.
Worth recording separately: xray's REALITY inbound field is `dest`,
not sing-box's `target`. That was wrong too, independently.
3. leaseEndpoint cached the full vless URL. The Reality key and short id
live inside that URL, so re-keying an exit left every client failing
against a stale copy for the whole 24h lease. It now caches only the
uuid and rebuilds the URL from the current catalogue entry, so a
re-key takes effect as soon as the catalogue refreshes.
Verified in Theseus over CDP: baseline 80.187.100.105, tunnel up
81.31.210.65 (the sm-1 exit), off restores the baseline, and sm-3 is
correctly refused to a free-tier caller.
Found by driving the add-on in a real Theseus rather than reasoning
about it. turnOn() failed with "Silent Mode · 1 is not yet configured
(ready)" — resolveEndpoint required the catalogue entry to carry a
vless URL, but the gateway catalogue deliberately ships none, because a
vless URL is the credential and that endpoint is public. The add-on
predates the key-issuer and was never taught to ask for a lease.
It now POSTs to /api/vpn/session for any ready exit that has no URL of
its own, and caches the lease under its serverId until a minute before
expiry. Baked-in and subscription entries still use their own URL and
never hit the network.
Shield and Cookie Pop-ups are settings more than tools, so their
switches, the cookie mode, the counters and "Update rules" now sit in
Settings › Performance under a Protections heading, driven through the
add-ons' own message handlers (Settings-only IPC). Each card opens the
add-on's panel for the per-site details, and each panel links back to
Settings. The two add-ons start hidden from the toolbar's extension
row (manifest dock:"hidden", honoured once so a user who shows them
keeps them); "Show hidden" on the row brings them back.
theseus://settings and theseus://settings/<section> are now addresses,
so any page or note can link to a Settings page.
Also: a Settings or add-on tab that the user navigates elsewhere stops
counting as that tab, otherwise "open Settings" kept focusing a tab
that no longer showed Settings.
The 380px panel is the wrong shape for anything that needs room. This opens
the wallet as a full Theseus tab, with the sidebar's own furniture — identity,
network, balance, section nav, wallet list — laid out as a left rail and the
tab body given to the selected section.
It is the SAME panel.html, loaded with ?surface=web. No second wallet, no
second copy of 4,600 lines to drift apart. That works because an add-on's own
tab is handed a window.silentmode with the same invoke/on surface as the
sidebar, and addon-msg dispatches it as from:"panel" with the add-on identity
derived from the file:// sender — so every existing handler, including the
panel-only ones, works there untouched. The whole change is a CSS grid behind
one attribute plus a chip to open it.
Details that needed care:
- The QR is drag-sized against a 380px panel and the size is remembered.
Given a 720px column it filled the page, so it is capped on this surface
only; the stored sidebar preference is left exactly as the user set it.
- #drop (the coin picker sheet) is fixed-position and sized for the panel;
it is pinned to the rail instead of covering the window.
- Content columns are capped at 720px so forms and lists keep the measure
the sidebar already tuned, rather than stretching across a monitor.
- Under 900px the grid falls back to the stacked layout, so a narrow window
degrades to what the sidebar already does.
- The "open full screen" chip hides itself on the full-screen surface, so it
cannot open a second copy of itself.
Everything is scoped to [data-surface="web"], so the sidebar is byte-for-byte
unchanged. Verified both surfaces, the narrow fallback (by exercising the
real media rule) and zero horizontal overflow.
The aegis.x/app URL still needs a main.js route in Theseus; this ships the
destination over the add-on channel first.
A bundled add-on that answers cookie consent dialogs, rejecting all but
the essentials by default (or accepting, if the user prefers the banner
simply gone), so pages open without one. Built on DuckDuckGo's
autoconsent (MPL-2.0): its rule bundle covers hundreds of consent
managers, and a reject-button heuristic handles unknown banners in
reject mode. The library runs through the page-inject slot in every
http(s) frame's isolated world; the add-on hands each frame the user's
settings and the rules, and counts what was handled per site for the
panel, which also excludes a site with one click.
build-inject.js assembles inject.js from the library in node_modules
plus the glue, and copies the compact rules and licence into the add-on
so a rule update can ship through the add-on channel.
Host side: page-inject scripts get theseus.evalInPage for the few rules
that need the page's own JavaScript (they already reach the page via
contextBridge, so no new trust tier), and api.tabs is open to
page-inject add-ons as well as request-filter ones.
Theseus had no content blocking at all. Shield blocks requests to known
tracking and advertising hosts on every site, using EasyList and
EasyPrivacy through Ghostery's adblocker engine (the matcher those lists
are written for). The lists ship inside the add-on so blocking works
from the first launch, offline; the compiled engine is cached under the
add-on's data dir (a 22 ms load instead of a 500 ms parse), and the
lists refresh from their publishers about once a day.
The panel shows what was stopped on the current page, a one-click
allow for the site, the global switch, the running total and the rule
versions with an "Update now". Network filters only for now: a blocked
request never leaves the browser, but leftover empty ad boxes are not
hidden yet.
Host side: a "request-filter" capability. Chromium allows one
onBeforeRequest listener per session, so main owns it and consults the
add-ons' filters; a top-level navigation is never blocked, only http(s)
subresources are offered. api.tabs (active tab and a change event) lets
the panel show per-site numbers without seeing page content.
Three complaints, one cause between the first two.
A line of a PDF is rarely one run. pdf.js splits it wherever the file does
— a font change, a kerning adjustment, a colour change — so a heading can
be three spans and an invoice line ten. Replacing the span under the
cursor covered a fragment and left the rest of the line standing, which is
exactly what a replacement that looks like a copy laid over the original
is. A run is now the whole visual line: the spans that share its baseline
and sit close enough to be spacing rather than a second column, with the
spaces the geometry implies put back between them.
And that line is edited on the page. The dialog that used to hold a copy
of the words is gone: the cover goes down first, carrying the line's own
words at the page's own size and colour, and the caret opens on it. The
cover keeps its words hidden while you type, so the original never shows
through the thing covering it. Escape with nothing changed lifts the cover
again and leaves the page as it was found — no mark, no undo step.
The rotate grip was a square like the resize handles, wearing the open
hand that means drag-the-page. It is a disc with a turning arrow now, and
a cursor drawn to match, since no standard cursor means turn. The inline
style that was defeating the stylesheet is gone with it.
Ctrl and the wheel zoom, about the pointer rather than the top-left, so
the words you were reading stay where they were. A plain wheel still
scrolls.
Records what the gateway routes do, the four things that still have to
happen on the servers before the dropdown can light up (UUID pool per
inbound, the pool file, X-Forwarded-For on the vhost, deploy-from-repo),
and — deliberately at the same prominence — that expiry is bookkeeping
rather than enforcement until xray's handler API is wired per box.
Also flags the per-client byte cap as an unverified cheaper mitigation,
marked as needing a test rather than written up as though it works.
Drops the meridian ellipse so the globe is just a round field, and
spends the space that frees on the glyphs: tiles grow from 11.6 to 13.4
units and the A from font-size 10 to 12.4, with the 文 strokes
thickened to match. Checked the same way as last time — rasterized at
true 16px and 18px and magnified nearest-neighbour — against three
candidates (plain globe with tiles, letters bare on the globe, and a
single tile). Tiles won: bare glyphs on blue lose too much edge
contrast at 16px, and the two-tile arrangement is what reads as two
scripts rather than one word.
Same mark in the manifest and in the panel header.
A band starts from the space between things, so that a drag across words
still selects words to copy. On a page that is wall-to-wall text there is
no such space, and the gesture simply did nothing — which is how it failed
on a real document at 276% zoom, where every candidate starting point had
a line of text under it.
Alt-drag starts a band anywhere, text or not. The select hint says so.
Select, Text, Highlight, Draw, Sign — labelled, in that order, at the head
of the toolbar. Each one leads a kit rather than hiding it: the shapes sit
behind Draw, underline and strike-through behind Highlight, and nothing is
offered twice.
Draw arms the pen, which is what Draw means when there is one button for
it. The names drop out below 1180px, where five of them would start
pushing the zoom and colour controls off the end.
Auto-translate: changing either language only called saveUi(), so the
pane below kept showing the previous language's result with nothing to
say it was stale — you had to notice and press Translate. Both selects
now re-run the translation, guarded on empty input and on
source === target (which would only echo the input back).
Text size: the panes were 13.5px, small for reading a paragraph in a
language you don't know well, which is the entire job. Base is now
15px, driven by a --tsize custom property so both panes stay matched.
Zoom: −/+ either side of a percentage in the header, 70–220% in steps
of 10, clamped with the buttons disabling at each end. Click the
percentage to reset. Ctrl/Cmd with +, - or 0 does the same from either
pane. Persists per-machine alongside the language choice.
Icon: a globe with an A tile and a 文 tile, replacing the 🌐 emoji that
was indistinguishable from every other globe in the dock. Drawn against
the 16px and 18px rasterizations rather than at a comfortable size —
the first pass used a font glyph for 文 and it turned to grey mush at
16px, so the strokes are hand-drawn paths thick enough to survive. Also
drops the hardcoded icon in registerSidebarPanel, which would otherwise
shadow the manifest's mark.
Verified in a harness with a stubbed host API: language change fires
exactly one request, the two guards fire none, zoom clamps and persists,
and the layout holds at sidebar width.
A wallet imported from a single private key cannot do WizardConnect, and no
amount of work inside Aegis changes that: the handshake ships BIP32 xpubs so
the dapp derives addresses without further round-trips, and a lone key has no
chain code to build one from. Manufacturing a parent whose child equals a
given key means inverting HMAC-SHA512, and even solved for index 0 the dapp's
next index lands elsewhere. The way out is to stop being a single-key wallet.
Promote derives a fresh wallet from the vault on the import's own network and
sweeps the key into it, after which WizardConnect works — and so does every
other thing that assumes a key tree. It reuses plan() + signAndBroadcast(),
the same pair the consolidate flow already spends through, rather than
growing a second money path.
Three things it deliberately does not do:
- The preview costs the sweep by planning a send-max to the wallet's OWN
address, so cancelling leaves nothing behind. Same inputs, same single
P2PKH output, so the fee is identical to the real sweep.
- The imported key is kept, not deleted. The sweep is unconfirmed when the
call returns and anyone holding the old address can still pay into it;
removing the key there would strand those coins. Removal stays a separate
step the user takes once the balance reads zero.
- A promote that fails in plan() takes the just-created wallet back out,
since nothing was broadcast. Past that point the wallet is kept even on
error, because a transaction may already be on the wire and its
destination has to stay visible.
BCH only: the BTC/DGB/ETH/TRX/SOL imported adapters still throw "read-only"
from plan(), and the refusal now names the chain instead of failing vaguely.
Wallet creation is lifted out of the addWallet handler into
createVaultWallet so promote builds its destination through exactly the same
purpose allocation, legacy-purpose carry-over and id numbering as the Add
flow, instead of a near-copy sitting next to a transfer.
Select does what selecting does in every editor people already know.
Double-click bare page and a caret opens there; double-click the document's
own words and they open for replacement; what is selected copies with
Ctrl+C, pastes with Ctrl+V and goes with Del. Nothing was taken away — a
drag on empty page still gathers an area, and a drag that starts on words
still selects words to copy.
Type text and Edit text were two buttons for one question the click already
answers. They are one Text tool: land on the document's own words and it
offers to replace them, land anywhere else and it starts new text. The
words light up under the cursor so which is which is visible before
clicking, not after.
The toolbar says what it is for. Select, Text and Sign are labelled and set
apart; the drawing kit and the markup kit are their own groups. Sign gets a
pen icon over a signature rather than a squiggle that could have been
anything.
Signatures take ink — black, blue, red, green — chosen while drawing and
kept with the signature, because people sign in a particular colour and it
belongs to the signature, not to whichever swatch was armed. And they turn:
a grip above the box, free rotation, Shift to snap to 15°, for the signing
line that is not square to the page.
Two faults the tests found, both invisible by eye:
The rotate grip was drawn in the right place and could not be grabbed —
the selection bar floats directly above a mark, which is exactly where the
grip sits, and it swallowed every click. The bar now stands clear of it.
Undo would not undo a first rotation. Restoring a mark with Object.assign
copies the keys the original HAD, so a property the drag introduced
survived the restore; the journal then recorded the rotated state as the
state to go back to. Restoring now forgets keys the original never had,
which fixes every future property with the same shape.
Also: building a document from pictures or joins refuses to start a second
one on top of the first, and says so rather than failing quietly.
Drag on empty page and a rubber band gathers every mark it sweeps over.
Touching counts rather than enclosing: a band you have to draw right
around a long arrow is a band you draw twice. Shift-click adds or removes
one, Ctrl+A takes the page.
What the group can then do is move, restyle, duplicate and delete, each as
a single undo step — six marks deleted is one thing the user did, so it
has to be one thing to undo. The selection bar offers only what is true of
every member: a group of shapes gets Fill, a group of stamps gets size and
weight, a mixed group gets neither, and none of them gets Edit, which
needs one mark to put a caret in.
No resize handles on a group. Stretching a mixed selection means deciding
what a stretch does to text, which scales by font size, and to a line,
which has no box at all; until there is an answer worth defending,
offering the grip would promise something this cannot keep.
Each member is outlined as well as the group, because a band that caught
one more mark than you meant is worth seeing before you press Delete.
A group lives on one page. A mark carries its page, and PDF user space
means nothing across two of them, so a band selects within the page it
was drawn on.
One trap found on the way: starting the band on a press means calling
preventDefault, which is also what gives a form field its caret — so the
band now keeps its hands off the annotation layer, and typing into a PDF
form still works.
Three things the editor made you work around.
Text was typed into a dialog and then placed, so you chose a size and a
weight for words you could not see against the page they were going on.
The click now opens a caret where you clicked, in the font, size and
colour the words will have, with the style bar over it; double-clicking a
stamp reopens it in place. Lining a CSS line box up with a PDF baseline is
measured from the font's own metrics, not guessed.
A signature lived in a single slot. There was nowhere to keep initials as
well as a name, nowhere to change the one you had, and reaching for the
tool again simply stamped the first one — which is the same fault three
times: one slot. It is a library now, with redraw, rename and delete, and
the choice is made when the tool is picked up, so placing stays one click.
An existing single signature is carried into it rather than dropped.
The mark you had just drawn could be resized by its handles and not moved
by its middle, because only the select tool let marks be hit-tested at
all. The SELECTED mark now takes a press whatever tool is armed. A press
anywhere else still draws, and an unfilled shape is still grabbed by its
outline — the same rule select has always followed.
Also: words default to dark ink rather than highlighter yellow, which was
unreadable on white and is now impossible to miss, since you watch
yourself type it.
0.3.56 was cut from the Aegis line (WizardConnect auto-detection, Aegis
0.8.x, PDF Editor and VPN updates) on top of 0.3.55; 0.3.57 carries that
plus the install-as-app feature and the two main-process crash fixes.
Eight decimals of tail sat exactly where the eye lands. The hero now shows
two decimals once there is a whole part, because the whole units already
carry the significant digits, and digs past leading zeros otherwise so
amounts under 1 keep roughly four significant figures:
1204.23234145 -> 1,204.23 0.23234145 -> 0.2323
0.00012345 -> 0.0001234 0.00000001 -> 0.00000001
A flat "two decimal places" rule is the obvious version of this and it is
wrong: it renders 0.00042 BCH as 0.00 and the wallet reads as empty. The
rule here never collapses a non-zero balance to zeros, and it truncates
rather than rounds, so the figure shown is never more than the wallet holds
and sending the displayed amount always clears. An ellipsis marks the cut,
hover gives the exact figure, clicking pins full precision and is
remembered. Only this hero abbreviates — Send, MAX, history and the wallet
strip still call fmtBig, so every number acted on is exact.
Also repairs the regexes in the same function, which lost their backslashes
when the earlier commit was scripted: /^(-?)(\d+)(\.\d+)?$/ had become
/^(-?)(d+)(.d+)?$/, matching the letter "d". Still valid JS, so it parsed
cleanly and every balance quietly fell through to unformatted text — the
grouping and the dimmed decimals introduced in bb639a9 had never once run.
Caught by testing the function body extracted from the file rather than a
transcription of it.
The network chip sat on its own row holding a single chip and ~300px of dead
space, while the connection state and the per-wallet actions sat on a second
row underneath the balance. Two thin rows sandwiching the number people open
the panel for pushed it into the middle of the header. They are now one row
above it: [network] [state] ......... [Explorer] [Faucet].
Neither half belongs in Settings. The status line is not a hostname label —
it is also where "connecting…", "· syncing", "· <n> unconfirmed" and the
walletd setup prompt are written, so filing it away would hide an unconfirmed
balance and an instruction. Explorer and Faucet are verbs on the selected
wallet rather than configuration, which is why 0.9.2 lifted them out of the
Receive card in the first place.
Only the hostname may shrink. Left to itself the flexbox took width off the
network chip first and clipped "Chipnet testnet" to "Chipnet" — the one label
on that row that must never be ambiguous, since it says whether the next
action moves real money.
First pass of the wallet-app restyle. The panel led with a 22px balance that
carried no more weight than the labels around it, so the one number people
open the sidebar to read had to be hunted for. It is now the hero: 32px,
thousands-grouped, with the fractional part dimmed so magnitude reads before
precision. The ticker and the fiat conversion sit on its baseline as
annotations rather than peers, and wrap to their own line intact once the
amount outgrows a narrow panel.
The Receive/Send/History/Settings bar used an underline for the active tab,
which read as browser chrome and all but vanished at sidebar widths — a 2px
rule under a short label is easy to miss. It is a segmented pill bar now,
active section filled in the accent. The hover tint derives from --ink so it
shows in the light theme too, where a white overlay was invisible.
No charts yet: there is no price history behind Coin-Spectrum to draw, so
nothing here fakes a trend line.
Every chipnet wallet in the picker read "can't pair" with the reason
nowhere on screen: the explanatory note only rendered when NOTHING could
pair, so one working mainnet wallet hid it entirely. The cause now rides
on the row itself ("can't pair (WIF import)") and the note appears
whenever any wallet is blocked. A single private key has no chain code,
so there is no xpub for the handshake to send — the text now says that
and points at the two ways out.
Seed-imported wallets stored the full leaf path (m/44'/1'/0'/0/0) in
accountPath, because that is what derived the one address the strip
shows. WizardConnect was handed that as the BIP44 *account* node and
would derive m/44'/1'/0'/0/0/<branch>/<i>: a tree the user holds no keys
in. Pairing looked healthy and every sign request failed with "no path
for input". Same class as the 0.9.7 chipnet mismatch, one level down.
A dapp drops its pairing code from the DOM once connected, so the
commonest empty scan is a page that is already paired. Sending that user
to "open the Connect dialog" points at a dialog the dapp will not show
again; the message now names the existing pairing instead.
Each .warow was its own grid container, so the `auto` amount column
resolved independently per row: a row holding 0.3066756 got a narrower
column than one holding 0.43789841, and the copy button therefore landed
at a different x on every line. Column widths have to be SHARED to line
up, and nothing was sharing them.
The columns are now declared once on a .walist wrapper and every row
inherits them via `grid-template-columns: subgrid`. Column gaps moved to
the parent, since a subgrid takes its gutters in the subgridded axis from
the grid it inherits and would have ignored them on the row. A
@supports fallback pins the amount column to a fixed 104px for any host
without subgrid, which keeps the copy column straight there too.
Measured across six rows with four different amount lengths, at 260,
320, 400 and 520px wide: copy left edge, amount right edge, ticker left
edge and menu right edge all have 0px spread, with no row overflow and
no clipped amount.
0.9.8 claimed this area was verified, but the check only looked for cell
overlap WITHIN each row and never compared the same column ACROSS rows —
which is exactly the defect it missed.
The main-world bridge was pushed into every https page as a text script.
Sites that enforce Trusted Types refuse that and report the attempt to
their CSP endpoint — Google's sign-in pages among them, which then have
every reason to call the browser insecure. No dapp lives on those
origins: a static list of the big enforcing sites is skipped outright,
any other origin that rejects the bridge once is remembered and skipped
from then on, and where Trusted Types exist unenforced a policy keeps
the assignment clean.
The row's grid template still described the pre-0.9.2 layout — six
columns including an address cell that no longer exists — while the row
renders five. Every cell therefore sat one column left of where it
belonged: copy landed in the label's space, the amount in the old label
column, and the ⋯ in the amount column instead of the edge. That is the
whole cause of "the copy button collides with the amount" and "the last
edit button is not on the edge".
Now five columns for five cells: icon · label · copy · amount · menu,
8px gaps. The label is the flexible one, left-aligned, so it takes the
slack and truncates rather than squeezing the number. Verified at 520,
400 and 300px: no cell overlap at any width, no row overflow, and the
amount never clips — only long labels give way.
The copy glyph was the 📋 emoji, which has no glyph in this platform's
font stack and rendered as a tofu box that read like a stray character
stuck to the balance. Replaced with an inline SVG in both the row and
the address card. Both confirmation flashes now swap innerHTML rather
than textContent, which would have deleted the SVG and left a blank
square.
Address card: the address and its copy button share one row, so the
button sits at the end of the value it copies. The address clamps to two
lines and truncates beyond that instead of growing the card in a narrow
sidebar.
The QR is always visible and the panel is drag-resizable from a grip
under it (pointer events, arrow keys as a non-mouse path, clamped
90–420px, capped against the panel's own width so a size set on a wide
sidebar cannot overflow a narrow one, persisted). That replaces the
0.9.2 show/hide toggle — a size set once beats a binary, and it frees
the row Copy was sharing with a QR button.
drawQr was setting cv.style.width/height, which would have reset the
panel to its intrinsic size on every redraw — i.e. every time the
address changed. It now sets only the backing store and re-asserts the
user's size after drawing.
"Next unused address" is correct at the adapter level on both mainnet
and chipnet (tested: the index advances and the address changes), so the
reported failure is elsewhere. The handler was discarding the error and
flashing a bare "Failed", which is why there was nothing to diagnose; it
now surfaces the real message.
A chipnet BCH wallet derives from m/44'/1'/0', but the WizardConnect
registration fell back to a hardcoded m/44'/145'/0' whenever the entry
had no explicit accountPath — which is the normal case for a wallet
created through the UI. Mainnet's default happens to be that same
literal, so only chipnet was affected.
The consequence was worse than a failed pairing. Pairing SUCCEEDED, the
handshake carried xpubs for an unrelated key tree, and the dapp then
derived addresses this wallet does not own:
wallet's real chipnet address : bchtest:qpezx8qkwpjd4e6pd5aang0ve6fctpjvg5ckp2lwu7
address from the WC xpub : bchtest:qzvpe3w9rqnszk6mntnef6zv6v94zmfvpc49qkxml4
So the dapp saw an empty stranger's wallet, and anything it built spent
inputs the wallet could not match — signing would fail with "no path for
input". Silent, and only reachable on testnet.
Both registration sites (vault-derived and imported) now take the path
from adapter.snapshot().accountPath, which is by construction the tree
the wallet actually derives its addresses from.
Two wrong turns worth recording. defaultAccountPathFor() takes the coin
CONFIG object, not a chain string, so passing entry.chain returned null
and would have stopped WizardConnect registering at all — strictly worse
than the bug being fixed. chainMeta().defaultAccountPath was no better:
BCH has no coinType in COINS, so it is null for every BCH network. The
adapter is the only component that resolves this correctly, which is why
it is now the source.
The Custom box validated for a vless:// prefix and rejected anything
else, so a provider's subscription URL — the thing most people are
handed — got "paste a vless:// URL first" with no hint that the
Subscription card two sections down was what it wanted. Now an
http(s):// paste in that box is detected and routed to the subscription
importer, the placeholder says both are accepted, and the dropdown
option reads "Custom — vless:// or subscription URL".
Also renames the three bundled entries' status from "coming-soon" to
"awaiting-key-issuer". The exits exist and are running xray; what is
missing is a way to hand a client credentials without shipping a shared
secret. DESIGN.md now records why that list stays empty, since this is
the second time the shortcut looked attractive: a vless:// URL is the
credential, so writing one into the tarball (immutable, mirrored) or
onto a public Sia object (mutable but world-readable) are the same
category of mistake. Per-session minting is the fix, because then no
shared credential exists to leak.
Parser verified against plain-text, standard-base64 and url-safe
unpadded-base64 subscription bodies; an HTML error page correctly
yields zero entries instead of a JSON parse crash.
"＋ Add another BCH" created a fresh wallet on the spot. The old comment
argued that being inside a coin's address list made the intent
unambiguous; it isn't. "Add another BCH wallet" is just as often "bring
in the one I already have somewhere else", and guessing wrong is not
harmless — the user gets an empty new address and has to work out for
themselves why their funds aren't in it.
Adds aegisChoose(), a pick-one sibling of aegisConfirm for branches
where the honest answer is a question rather than a yes/no, and puts it
in front of every path that reached addWallet:
- ＋ Add another <TICKER> in the coin drilldown
- ＋ Add on an unowned coin in the browse picker (now routes to the
existing New / Import / Connect chooser, with the coin still
preselected through whichever branch is taken)
- ＋ Add your first wallet on the empty state — the most important one,
since someone arriving with an existing seed was being handed a
create-only flow
The empty-state copy claimed "there's no separate seed to import",
which stopped being true when imports shipped and actively told users
the feature they wanted did not exist.
Verified in a rendered panel: the chooser appears, addWallet is not
called until Create is picked, Import opens the import modal, and
Cancel does nothing.
Pairing already worked; signing would have thrown on the first request
a dapp ever sent. Found by testing against the real relay and the real
@wizardconnect/wallet library rather than reading the code.
Two bugs in wc-sign.js, both fatal:
- The WC message nests the whole WcSignTransactionRequest under
`.transaction`, so the tx is at request.transaction.transaction and
the spent outputs at request.transaction.sourceOutputs. We read
request.transaction as the tx and request.sourceOutputs as the
outputs, so tx.inputs was undefined. index.js already read the nested
request.transaction.userPrompt for the approval dialog, so only the
signer had it wrong. The flat shape is still accepted.
- generateSigningSerializationBCH takes TWO positional arguments,
(compilationContext, {coveredBytecode, signingSerializationType}).
We passed one merged object, leaving coveredBytecode undefined and
throwing inside libauth. For P2PKH the covered bytecode is the spent
output's locking script.
Now verified end to end: a two-input transaction spending from two
different derivation paths signs, decodes, and passes
createVirtualMachineBCH().verify() — consensus-valid, with
SIGHASH_ALL|FORKID|UTXOS (0x61) on every input as the protocol
requires.
Also: RelayStatus is an object ({status: "connected" | "reconnecting" |
"disconnected" | "session_deleted"}), and the snapshot read a
non-existent `.kind`, so every connection reported the literal
"[object Object]". Reads `.status` now, uses the documented
getConnections() accessor instead of the private connections Map, and
carries the library's own `label` ("dapp name once known, otherwise
Connecting…"). The panel shows a tag for anything other than connected
— "reconnecting" is the difference between a pairing that will see the
next signature and one that is dead, which was invisible before.
0.9.3 merged ✎ and 🗑 into one ⋯ in the coin drilldown but left the
coins summary row with the old pair, so the two views disagreed about
the same idea. Both now carry a single ⋯ opening the manage modal.
Found by rendering the panel against stubbed host state over HTTP
rather than reading the diff — the file:// preview never executes
panel.js, so earlier checks could only confirm the markup existed, not
that it drew correctly.
Drops the now-unreachable removeWalletWithConfirm helper, the
data-wremove handler and the .wactdel style that went with them.
Address row is now icon · label · amount · one button. ✎ and 🗑 were two
controls for what is really one idea ("change this wallet"), and the
manage modal already holds rename, derivation path AND remove — so a
single ⋯ opens it. That also stops Remove sitting one stray click away
from Rename. Default/legacy wallets show a lock instead.
The per-address amount is back unconditionally: 0.9.2 hid it when a coin
had one address, but the row reads as a breakdown and the gap looked
like missing data. The duplicate that actually mattered — the drilldown
subtitle — stays gone.
The Assets card only ever had branches for SOL, BCH and TRX, so ETH fell
through to a hidden card despite the adapter returning tokens in the
same shape. The generic branch is now keyed on the DATA rather than a
list of chain ids: any chain whose snapshot carries `tokens` renders,
which means ETH works today and a chain added later works for free. Only
the label ("TRC20" / "ERC20" / "Tokens") varies by chain.
Dropped the "Pick a coin" title row from the coin picker — the search
field's own placeholder already says what the pane is, so the title was
a line of chrome restating it and pushing the list down. Search and
close now share the top row.
Token history stays in History despite the request coming from tokens
being mistaken for transactions: a wallet that had only ever moved USDT
still showed an empty history without it.
Receive was ordered QR → address → tokens, so 200px of always-on QR sat
above the thing people came for and pushed the asset list off screen.
- Address first, with Copy and a QR button; the QR expands inline and
the choice sticks, because someone who receives by QR wants it every
time and someone who copies never does.
- Explorer and Faucet moved up to the header status row. They act on the
selected wallet, not on the act of receiving, and down there they
competed with Copy for the one row that gets used.
- Assets card renamed from Tokens and now leads with the native coin, so
"what does this wallet hold" is one list rather than two places.
- "+ Add another <TICKER>" moved below the address list.
The balance appeared three times — header, drilldown subtitle, address
row. Now once in the header; the subtitle keeps only the per-unit price,
and the per-address amount returns when a coin actually has more than one
address to compare. The address row drops its truncated address (the full
one is at the top of Receive) and keeps the wallet name.
The per-address asset list added in 0.8.8 duplicated the Assets card and
is removed — assets live in one place.
Token amounts were unreadable: an 18-decimal balance rendered as
60000000.000000005435817984. Capped to 8 decimals with thousands
separators, exact value on hover.
A symbol claimed by more than one contract now carries a LOOK-ALIKE tag.
The test wallet holds four different contracts all calling themselves
"Test USDT" — spam mints borrowing a trusted ticker so a careless send
lands on the wrong one. We can't tell which is genuine, so we mark every
member of the clash rather than guessing.
History showed native transfers only, so a wallet that had only ever
moved USDT looked empty. TRC20 transfers are merged in newest-first, each
carrying its own decimals and ticker (rendering a token against the
chain's scale would be off by orders of magnitude). Both feeds are on by
default; the checkboxes narrow rather than opt in, and the last one
checked can't be unchecked into an empty list.
Clicking the dock raised a native file browser, which was the right answer
while the editor had exactly one thing to offer an empty tab. It is the
wrong answer now: a file browser can only ask which PDF, and the answer is
sometimes none of them.
So the dock opens the editor, and the empty editor says what it can do.
The drop zone stays, and learns to read what it is given — pictures become
pages, several PDFs become one document. Beside it sit the three ways in
as buttons.
Not included: compress, which cannot be done honestly without re-encoding
the images, and split, which is the page rail plus Save a copy.
A document built from pictures or joins has never been on disk, so it is
marked unsaved from the moment it opens — otherwise closing the tab would
bin it without asking. An empty editor also stops claiming to hold a file
called document.pdf.
Mounting an imported TRX/ETH/SOL wallet read the optional custom RPC as
String(stored || undefined), so a wallet with no override got the literal
"undefined" as its server: every history and token fetch went to
"undefined/v1/accounts/…" and the panel showed "undefined" under the
balance. Only a real https URL overrides the network default now, and the
adapter itself rejects anything that does not look like one.
Completes the three detection paths. The injected provider shipped in
0.8.8; these two needed host support, because nothing in the add-on API
could reach the active tab's content (captureTab is pixels, not DOM).
wiz:// links (main.js)
A click on a wiz:// anchor is intercepted in will-navigate and in the
window-open handler (target="_blank" lands there instead), and routed
to the wallet with the offering page's origin attached, so the
approval names the real site. The tab never navigates. This needs
nothing from the dapp beyond rendering the URI as a link, so it works
for third-party dapps that will never adopt a Silent Mode API.
scan-page capability (addons-host.js + main.js)
New capability backing api.scanActiveTabForUris({scheme, limit}).
Deliberately NOT a "read the page" API: the host runs the match and
returns only the URIs found, so an add-on holding this still cannot
see page text, markup or form values. It sits well below page-inject
on the trust ladder — it learns that a page offers a wiz:// code and
nothing else. Scheme is validated against [a-z][a-z0-9+.-]* and the
result count is capped.
The matcher also accepts WizardConnect's QR-alphanumeric spelling
(WIZ://%3FP%3D…), which is frequently the only form present when a
dapp renders its pairing code as a QR, and decodes it. Verified
against the SDK: decodeKeyExchangeURI accepts standard, QR-raw and
QR-decoded alike.
Regex sources are built host-side and passed as JSON rather than
assembled inside the injected string — hand-escaping backslashes and
quotes through two levels of literal was both wrong on the first
attempt and unreviewable.
Aegis
Declares scan-page, adds the wcScanPage handler and a "Scan page"
button next to Connect. A scan fills the URI field and stops there
rather than pairing outright: the user still chooses which wallet
signs and still presses Connect, because a scan that silently paired
would carry far more consequence than the button implies. Older hosts
without the capability get a clear "update Theseus" message instead of
a dead button.
Completes the parity work 0.8.7 started for Tron. Imported ETH and SOL
wallets showed a native balance and nothing else, because the JSON-RPC
endpoints they poll have no history or token concept at all.
- ETH history + ERC-20 balances via Blockscout, which needs no API key
(Etherscan V2 does). Mainnet RPC moves off eth.llamarpc.com, which was
answering 525 with an HTML error page — that parsed as a JSON error and
showed as a 0 balance.
- SOL history via getSignaturesForAddress and SPL balances via
getTokenAccountsByOwner, both keyless on the public RPC.
Three things the live testing turned up:
- A Blockscout mempool entry is {result:"pending", status:null}. Reading
that as "not ok, therefore failed" showed pending sends as failures.
Now carries a distinct pending state through to the row.
- History `delta` is now a number, a decimal string, or null. ETH wei
needs the string (18 decimals overflows a JS number, and Math.abs was
silently rounding it); Solana's signature feed carries no amount at
all, and null >= 0 is true, so unknown amounts were rendering as a
"+" that claimed a receive we cannot verify. Unknown now renders as a
neutral row instead.
- A real address came back with 855 ERC-20s and 3078 SPL mints, nearly
all airdrop spam, some with blank, zero-width or bidi-override
symbols that render as an empty row borrowing trust from its
neighbours. Token text is sanitised and lists are capped at 50, sorted
so named tokens survive the cap.
Also: the first-run setup screen forced text-align:left on the form, so
its helper copy ran ragged under a centred mark, title and description.
The form now inherits the centred alignment; the mnemonic box stays
left-aligned on purpose, since centring wrapped seed words makes them
harder to check.
Ships the fix from 04b38cb: a run lifted out of the document is text, so
the selection bar now offers Edit, size, bold and italic on it, and the
size picker carries the document's own size rather than rounding an 11 pt
line up to 12 on the way out.
Testing 0.3.0 on a real install showed the gap immediately: select a run you
had replaced and the selection bar offered duplicate and delete and nothing
else. The one mark made entirely of words was the one with no way to change
them, double-clicking it did nothing, and the size stepper and the bold and
italic buttons all stayed hidden. Everything else that holds text could be
reopened; this could not.
The cause was three places testing `kind === "text"` where the question was
really "does this mark hold words". A replacement holds words.
Reusing the dialog exposed a second, quieter fault. A run lifted out of a
document is whatever size the document set — 11 pt, 9.5 pt — while the size
picker lists round numbers. Selecting a value the list does not contain leaves
the select empty, and the size on the way out fell back to 12. Editing the
wording of an 11 pt line would silently have resized it. The dialog now adds
the document's own size as an option for as long as it is open, and falls back
to the size it started with rather than to a guess.
Wallet strip:
- Clicking a coin opens that coin's page (addresses, price, totals, back
and close) instead of only flipping the selection and leaving the list
sitting there. The page already existed but was reachable only via the
small count chip.
- The per-coin second action was a gear that selected the wallet and
opened the global Settings tab — the same destination for every coin,
so it read as a per-coin control that wasn't one. It is now Remove,
behind a confirm, with the default/legacy wallet showing a lock
instead since it gates legacy funds.
- Each address in the drilldown can expand to show what THAT address
holds: TRC20/SPL via the adapter's tokens, BCH CashTokens via
tokenBalances. walletSummary now carries both per wallet, so the view
no longer has to borrow the selected wallet's assets.
WizardConnect — the Connect pane was effectively unusable:
- The locked-vault branch told the user to unlock and gave them nothing
to click. It is reachable without the lock screen ever appearing,
because a mounted imported wallet makes overallPhase read "ready".
It now carries the same unlock form the lock screen uses.
- Imported BCH wallets were never registered with the WC manager —
startForWallet ran only in the vault-derived mount branch. They mount
as ready, so they appeared in the "Sign with" picker and then failed
on pair. They now register from their stored seed. WC derives a child
key tree, so single-key (WIF) imports genuinely cannot pair; those are
disabled in the picker with the reason, rather than failing on click.
- Adds window.wizardconnect so a dapp can hand over the wiz:// URI it
already generated instead of making the user copy it between tabs.
The protocol is Nostr-relay pairing designed for phone-scans-QR, and
the SDK has no in-page discovery at all, so this is our own surface:
connect() + isReady(), plus a wizardconnect:announceProvider event
shaped like EIP-6963 so several WC wallets can coexist. Pairing always
goes through the approval modal; the URI is validated before any UI
shows, and the wallet never reads the page to find one.
A PDF does not contain paragraphs. It contains glyphs with coordinates, and
there is no heading, no list, no table and no guaranteed reading order —
only runs of characters that happen to sit near each other. Converting to
Word means working out where the paragraphs were, from geometry. That
inference is the whole feature, and it is sometimes wrong, so this is called
a conversion and never an edit, and the dialog reports what it found before
anything is written.
Lines are grouped by baseline, runs joined with the spaces a PDF only implies
by leaving a gap, and paragraphs ended where the next line sits unusually far
below, is indented, or where the previous one stopped short of the measure.
Headings come from size relative to the body — which is the most common size
on the page, not the average, because a page of 11 pt under a 28 pt title
averages to something that is neither. Bold and italic come from the font's
name, the only place a PDF records them.
What it refuses to fake is as important. A page set in columns is reported,
not silently interleaved. A page with no text says so, and says why: it is an
image of writing, and reading that needs character recognition this editor
does not have. Tables become plain paragraphs rather than an invented grid,
because a wrong table is harder to repair than no table.
The .docx is written here rather than by a vendored builder: a Word file is a
zip of five XML parts, and the subset that can honestly be produced —
paragraphs of styled runs — is about two hundred lines. Vendoring a document
library would have added another megabyte on top of the four pdf.js and
pdf-lib already weigh, to generate markup we would still have to get right.
Entries are stored rather than deflated, which keeps a compressor out of the
add-on; the CRCs are the part that cannot be skipped, since Word calls the
file corrupt rather than naming the part that upset it.
Text replaced in place converts as replaced. Converting would otherwise hand
back the words the user had just edited away.
Checked by taking the output apart — every CRC verified, both XML parts run
through a real parser — and then, because that is still marking my own
homework, by opening the result in the Word editor extension, where mammoth
reads it with none of my code involved.
Imported Tron wallets pointed at api.nileex.io, which only serves the
/wallet/* JSON-RPC family and 404s all of /v1/. That REST family is
where transaction history and the trc20 balance map live, so an
imported Nile wallet showed a native balance and nothing else. The
built-in Tron adapter was already on nile.trongrid.io, which is why
only imports were affected.
Switches the imported Nile endpoint to nile.trongrid.io and fills in
the two features that were never implemented for imported account-
model wallets:
- History via /v1/accounts/<addr>/transactions, with the signed delta
computed by comparing owner_address against the wallet's own address
in 41-hex form (the feed returns hex regardless of visible:true).
- TRC20 balances via /v1/accounts/<addr>, joined against token_info
harvested from recent trc20 transfers to recover symbol + decimals.
Both are best-effort so a chain with no keyless feed can't blank a
wallet whose balance fetch succeeded. Contracts with no registry entry
render as "Unknown token" with a raw amount rather than a number
invented from assumed decimals, and named tokens sort above them so
airdrop spam can't bury real holdings.
Until now "editing" a PDF here meant laying things over it. You could put a
word on top of a word, but the document underneath never changed, and the
result read like a sticker because it was one. This adds the thing the word
Edit actually promises: click a line of the document's text, type different
words, and they land where the old ones were, in the old size and the old
colour.
The position and size come from pdf.js's text layer, which has already placed
a span over every run and carries that run's size in unscaled PDF points — so
the size is right whatever the zoom, which reading it off the rendered box
would not be. The colours come from the rendered page, because nothing in the
text API reports them: the background is the average of the most common colour
bucket in the run's box, since type is a minority of the pixels even when it
is dense, and the ink is whatever sits furthest from that background. On the
test fixture it recovers the marker's red exactly.
Two things that look like details and are not. The bucket only chooses WHICH
pixels are background; the colour itself is their average, because rebuilding
it from the bucket index rounds white down to #f8f8f8 and a not-quite-white
patch on a white page is a visible seam. And the cover reaches below the
baseline by a quarter of the font size, because pdf.js sizes its spans to the
em box: cut the cover to the span and every descender in the original line
survives as a little hook under the replacement.
A replacement is a cover plus text, so it is a mark like any other — movable,
resizable, undoable, and rendered on screen from the same numbers the writer
uses, which is what makes the preview trustworthy.
Said plainly in the dialog and again in the save summary: this hides the
original, it does not remove it. The old glyphs are still in the content
stream underneath. Redact is the tool that takes text away, and it says so
too.
window.confirm/alert render as chrome-owned, Theseus-branded OS boxes
outside the sidebar, which breaks the illusion that Aegis is one
coherent surface — and they can't carry an icon, a danger-styled
button, or formatted copy.
Adds aegisConfirm() / aegisAlert(): the same overlay shell the manage
and import modals already use, resolving like confirm() so callers
just await it. Escape cancels, Enter confirms, click-outside cancels.
Swapped at all four confirm sites (remove wallet from the picker,
remove wallet from Settings, remove PIN, sign out) and all seven
alert sites.
Drawing a rectangle left it selected with its handles showing, and then
refused to let you touch them. The handles were only live under the select
tool, so sizing the shape you were still looking at meant a trip to the
toolbar and back — for a gesture the editor had already drawn the grips for.
Handles are now grabbable whatever tool is armed. They cannot be confused
with drawing: a handle is a nine-pixel square that only exists while
something is selected, nobody lands on one by accident, and Escape drops the
selection if the space is wanted back for drawing. The original gate was
protecting against a collision that does not really happen, at the cost of
one that does.
Making them universal opened a trap in the release path, fixed here too: the
text-markup tools return early from onUp to commit a text selection, which
would have stranded a resize half-done — applied to the live mark, never
journalled, with the drag still set so the next press behaved oddly. A
handle drag is now finished first, whatever tool is armed.
Every Coin-Spectrum poll silently returned an empty map because we
were reading body.price_usd (top-level) while the API wraps its data
under body.asset. Every chain's Number(undefined) came back NaN, so
Settings › Prices showed "✓ 0 coins" and majority-vote reconciliation
had one fewer source than intended.
Now reads body.asset.price_usd (with a top-level fallback in case the
API is ever flattened).
Two follow-ups on 0.8.0's currency picker after a testing pass:
- The network label was a tiny gray suffix next to the wallet name in
the header, so "which network am I on" wasn't obvious at a glance.
Now it's a separate row of one clickable chip under the coin ticker;
clicking jumps into the browse:chain view where the network strip
actually switches network.
- Clicking the header opened a "Pick a coin" pane that only listed
coins the user already had a wallet for — a first-time user with a
single BCH wallet would see one row and no way to add more. Now it
shows every supported coin behind a search box; owned coins jump to
the wallet list, unowned coins jump straight into the create-wallet
flow with that coin's network group pre-expanded.
