80fe82abee Theseus: an add-on can limit which sites get its bridge; vault secrets stay first-party
- Page-inject policy. An add-on may keep { mode, origins } under the
  reserved storage key "__pageInjectPolicy"; in "allowed" mode its bridge is
  injected, and its page messages accepted, only on the listed origins. It
  is read from the store because the decision is made synchronously at
  document start and must hold while an on-demand add-on is still dormant.
  A wallet injected into every page tells every page the user has one.
  api.features.pageInjectPolicy lets an add-on tell an old host apart.
- vault.imports (raw imported seeds and keys, not namespaced per add-on) and
  vault.lifecycle unlock/setup/lock (the master password, and an
  unthrottled oracle for it) are for add-ons that ship with Theseus. A
  community extension with vault-derive could read the wallet's imported
  keys. Others use vault.requestUnlock, where Theseus draws the prompt.

884f3948b8 Aegis: fees that follow the network, connections that come back, its own name on Solana
Still 0.31.0 (unpublished batch).

- ETH nonce. The pending count from a load-balanced RPC often misses a
  transaction this wallet sent seconds ago, so two sends in a row shared a
  nonce and the second failed or replaced the first. The nonce is taken at
  signing, from the RPC or from what the wallet itself last broadcast,
  whichever is higher, and broadcasts are serialised per wallet.
- Chains without EIP-1559 (no baseFeePerGas) get a legacy EIP-155
  transaction; they rejected the type-2 envelope, so a network added by a
  dapp could receive but never send. The tip is clamped to the fee cap.
- Bitcoin and DigiByte take their fee rate from the Electrum server's
  estimate instead of a constant, size each output from its real script
  (a taproot destination was undercounted), and round the size up before
  pricing. Bitcoin inputs signal replace-by-fee. DigiByte keeps its 20
  sat/vB floor and does not signal RBF, which it does not have.
- Electrum: a wallet with live subscriptions went quiet for good when its
  server dropped. The client reconnects with backoff, pings to catch dead
  sockets, times out a silent connect, and hands the replayed subscription
  answers on as notifications so the wallet refreshes. dispose() ends it.
- Max with an SPL token selected did nothing; it now fills the exact token
  balance.
- Removing a wallet retired its derivation index for good. Add wallet now
  takes the lowest free index, so the same wallet comes back.
- Solana: registered through the Wallet Standard as "Aegis" instead of
  setting isPhantom, with silent connect for already-connected sites.
- "Only show the wallet to sites I enable": Aegis keeps the host's
  page-inject allow-list in step with enabled and connected sites.

14d9df31cc fix(theseus/error): show branded error page on BCNR→clearnet fallback failures
flytastic.ru (and any other site where the BCNR lookup NXDOMAINs and
the clearnet fallback fails with a cert / network error) was leaving
the tab blank instead of showing the error page.

Cause — tab.internalNav was overloaded. loadBns's fallbackToWeb sets
internalNav=true before loadURL("https://host/") so will-navigate
doesn't re-route the programmatic nav back through navigateTab. The
did-fail-load handler was using the SAME flag to suppress recursion
on its own loadFile(error.html) call — so a cert error during the
clearnet fallback was silently swallowed.

Narrow the suppression to its real target: skip did-fail-load only
when the failing URL is file:// (our own error.html / home.html
loads). Clearnet HTTPS failures from a programmatic loadURL now
surface the branded error page like any other failed navigation. The
will-navigate guard (its original purpose) is untouched.

faea4147d2 feat(theseus/error): CF Bot Fight 503 hint with .bch mirror suggestion
When a top-level HTTPS load returns 503, sniff the body for CF Bot
Fight markers (cloudflare + blocked/challenge/attention-required, or
cf-chl). If it matches, replace the CF interstitial with a branded
error page carrying kind=cf-blocked. The page explains why Electron
browsers get 503 (TLS ClientHello fingerprint below HTTP, no user-
agent tweak fixes it) and offers next steps.

If a .bch name has a `p` record proxying the same origin, the page
surfaces it as a one-click retry — preserving the original path, so
/faq becomes /faq on the mirror rather than the mirror's root. Mirror
lookup walks the warm sharedIndex, so it's synchronous and works
offline. If no mirror exists, links to silentmode.st/mirrors where
users can mint one via Sirius.

Guarded against races — the 250 ms delay before body sniff re-checks
that the tab is still on the same URL and not destroyed, both before
and after the executeJavaScript resolves, so a JS-redirect after the
503 doesn't cause misclassification.

2dfa9e9c3e Theseus: an add-on's key namespace cannot be taken by another add-on
- `absorbs` lets one add-on derive under another's vault namespace. A
  community install has the field stripped, but an update of one is placed
  as shipped, so a second version could declare absorbs:["aegis"] and derive
  the wallet's keys. It is now honoured only for ids that ship inside
  Theseus, at the one place that matters: vault.derive.
- The legacy ids Aegis absorbs ("bchwallet", "siawallet") no longer have a
  bundled folder, so nothing stopped a catalog extension from installing
  under one and deriving `bchwallet/...`. They are reserved at install and
  refused at derive.
- A page-to-add-on message is accepted only from the tab's top-level frame.
  The origin shown to the user is the top-level URL, so a subframe that
  reached the channel would have been credited with its parent's origin.
- The approval overlay ignores everything but Cancel for the first 800 ms.
  A page can raise it without a gesture and knows where the primary button
  lands, which made "double-click here" a way to approve a spend.

f27f3d27c9 Aegis: the PIN is enforced by the host, and every spend is confirmed there
PIN
- The PIN blob wraps the vault master password under six digits and sat in
  plain add-on storage, so a copy of the profile reduced the master password
  to a million offline PBKDF2 guesses. It is sealed with the OS keystore
  before it is stored; a plain blob from an older build is sealed on first
  read. New blobs use 600k iterations.
- "Ask for PIN on every transaction" was decided by the host and enforced
  by nobody: `send` never checked it and dapp transactions had no PIN step.
  A gate is now cleared only by the master password the PIN unwraps,
  verified against the vault, which also opens a single-use transaction
  clearance. Panel sends consume one; dapp transactions ask the open panel
  and wait.

Spending and signing
- Consolidate emptied wallets on the panel's confirmation alone, defaulted
  to every sibling when no list was sent, and swept into whatever was
  selected at click time. It now needs explicit sources and the previewed
  destination, and shows the whole batch on the host overlay.
- Typed data for a chain other than the connected one is refused. Permit
  and Permit2 signatures name the spender, tokens, amounts and expiry, and
  an unlimited one gets the danger action. Previews are no longer cut at
  600/400 characters without saying so.
- eth.rpc relayed any eth_* call for sites that never connected.
- The WizardConnect overlay lists the tokens being spent and received.

Send form
- "0,5" was read as 5: the parser deleted commas. Amounts are parsed
  exactly; a decimal comma is a decimal, ambiguous or non-numeric input is
  refused, extra decimals are an error instead of being dropped.
- Send submits the request the summary was computed for, never a fresh read
  of the form, and stays off while a plan is pending or stale.
- Switching wallet resets the form instead of leaving a live button on the
  previous wallet's plan.
- The unlock field kept the master password after unlocking; the PIN pad
  kept its digits and kept counting keystrokes typed elsewhere as PIN
  attempts; an idle lock left a revealed key or seed form on screen.
- Enter confirmed a dialog even with focus on Cancel.

9e7e9d5e8b Aegis 0.31.0: chain adapters stop trusting what they should check
Start of the next batch; 0.30.0 is published.

- Tron panel sends signed whatever /wallet/createtransaction returned while
  the approval showed the local request. The returned bytes are now decoded
  and must be one transfer from this wallet, to that address, for that
  amount, with a matching txID - checked at plan time and again at signing.
- Importing a Solana wallet from a seed phrase threw on every attempt (a
  mis-parenthesised `new require("crypto").createHmac` plus a bare require
  of an ESM-only subpath). SLIP-0010 now uses Node's HMAC, as chain-sol does.
- Imported BCH wallets put token-bearing UTXOs into coin selection. They are
  excluded, as in the HD wallet, and the balance counts what can be spent.
- WizardConnect dropped the token from each spent output before signing, so
  under SIGHASH_UTXOS every signature of a token transaction was invalid.
- A wallet disposed while a refresh was in flight re-armed its poll timer.
- BCMR registry content is bounded before it reaches the panel: control and
  bidi characters stripped, lengths capped, decimals 0-18, icons https/ipfs
  only, registries https only.

41523a5cbf Settings: a legacy "Middle East" location no longer kills the page
Profiles from before the country picker carry locationMode "spoof" with a
region; the Settings page migrates them to a country on load. middle_east
mapped to AE, which was missing from COUNTRIES, so the destructure threw
partway through the page script. Everything wired after that point never
ran: the Ariadne panel stayed on "checking...", showed no collision
policy, left Sources empty, and its on/off switch had no handler, so
flipping it never asked for UAC and changed nothing.

Add the United Arab Emirates (same Dubai coordinates main.js already uses
for the region) and fall back to Germany for any region without a
country, so a stale value can never stop the page again.

5f02973597 Theseus: Settings language dropdown — supported first, in their own optgroup
The dropdown mixed supported and unsupported languages in one list ranked
by global speakers, so the six languages the translator actually handles
today (en, es, fr, de, el, ru) were scattered between greyed rows. The
user had to scan every entry to find the ones they could pick. The
dropdown is now partitioned into two <optgroup>s — "Supported today"
first with the enabled languages, "Translator coming later (Accept-
Language only)" below with the greyed rows — so the top of the list
is actionable and the roadmap is still visible underneath.

"Open previous windows and tabs" and "Clear history on quit" both default
to on, and the quit clear deleted session.json along with the history, so
every launch started from the start page and the restore setting did
nothing. The open tabs are what the user asked to reopen, not history:
while restore is on, the quit clear keeps them and still drops back/forward
and address-bar history. With restore off, the tab list is deleted as
before.

03b497dcae Aegis: DigiByte addresses follow the chosen address family
WalletKeys.entry() built a bech32 p2wpkh address whatever the account
path's purpose, so picking Legacy (D...), Wrapped SegWit (S...) or
Taproot (dgb1p...) in Settings showed a dgb1q address from the BIP44/
49/86 key tree, one no other wallet restoring that path would find.
Each family now derives its own address and script, and spending
supplies what its inputs need (previous tx for P2PKH, redeem script for
P2SH-P2WPKH, tap-tweaked key for Taproot, which is active on DigiByte),
with per-family fee sizes. Unknown purposes are refused instead of
falling back to BIP84.

Also: inputs were signed in selection order but the PSBT orders them by
BIP69, so a spend from two addresses tried to sign each input with the
other's key. They are now signed in the PSBT's order.

206f54edd2 Aegis: Tron signing overlay comes from the bytes being signed
The overlay for tronWeb-built transactions was built from the dapp's
raw_data JSON, which need not match raw_data_hex: a site could show
"1 TRX to X" and get a signature over anything. lib/tron-decode.js
decodes Transaction.raw from raw_data_hex (contract type, owner, to,
amount, TRC-20 transfer/approve calldata, fee limit, memo); the txID
must match the bytes, every contract's owner must be this wallet, and
unlimited approvals or permission/resource delegation get a danger
action.

sendRawTransaction relayed any signed transaction a site handed it;
it now broadcasts only txids Aegis itself signed.

0e7d6cc3c4 Aegis: Solana bridge signs the real bytes and shows what they do
- signAndSendTransaction signed String(Uint8Array) ("1,2,3,..."), so
  every dapp transaction got an invalid signature. Adapters gain
  signBytes(), which signs the exact message bytes.
- v0 (VersionedTransaction) messages were parsed with the version byte
  as the header; the shared parser handles legacy and v0.
- window.solana.signTransaction went through signMessage and its
  "moves no SOL" overlay. It now has its own handler and overlay, and
  signMessage refuses bytes that parse as a transaction (Phantom's rule),
  since such a signature is a valid transaction signature.
- Overlays decode System transfers and SPL transfer / approve /
  set-authority, and list everything else as not decoded.

314bce0905 Aegis: EVM bridge signs what the dapp asked for, chain per site
- eth_sendTransaction dropped the calldata, gas and fee fields, so an
  ERC-20 transfer went out as a 0-value send to the token contract and
  any contract call was broadcast as something else. plan() now carries
  data/gas/fee caps/nonce, estimates gas for calls, and the overlay
  decodes transfer/approve/permit/setApprovalForAll, flags unlimited
  approvals and calldata to a non-contract, and shows estimated vs max
  fee.
- personal_sign signed the hex string ethers/viem send as literal text;
  it now signs the decoded bytes.
- wallet_switchEthereumChain flipped the global selected wallet, so any
  site could move every connected dapp to another chain. Chain is now
  per origin; the sidebar selection no longer redirects a dapp.
- wallet_addEthereumChain silently persisted a connection for chains
  Aegis already had, handing the address to any site. Adding a chain
  no longer grants anything, and RPC URLs must be https.
- eth_sign (blind hash signing) is disabled, as in MetaMask.

fa50f97e6f Theseus: language picker is a floating overlay now, not a native menu
The globe-chip menu was a native Electron menu — square corners, system
font, no theming beyond the OS's own context-menu paint. Replaces it with
a floating overlay WebContentsView (lang-picker.html + preload),
following the same pattern the engine picker and the popover already
use: rounded 12px surface, acid-tint accents on the current pin, soft
shadow, dark + light scheme, flush under the chip's bottom-right.

The content is organised around the user's intent — translate first,
pick a language second. The "Translate this page" row sits at the top
when it is actionable (web tab + supported source + supported target),
with the detected source and the target under the label so the user can
tell what the backend will do before they click. Once a page is
translated, that row flips to "Show original (<source>)". Below the
action strip is Automatic + the six supported languages, each with a
two-letter code chip in the left slot and a ✓ on the current pin.
Unsupported languages are hidden by default inside a collapsible "More
languages (translator coming later)" group — click to expand, click to
collapse; a pinned-unsupported auto-expands so its ✓ stays visible.

Plumbing matches engine-picker: deferred-load WebContentsView,
closeOnClickAway, setBounds anchored under the chip, picker renderer
reports its own content height after each render so the overlay
contracts and expands with the "More languages" toggle. State pushes
come from emitTranslateState (so the Translate / Show-original row
updates when a page finishes auto-translating with the picker open)
and from broadcastSettings (so a Settings-side language change
re-paints the ✓).

Verified end-to-end: picker loads, shows Automatic + 6 supported in the
default list and 18 greyed in the "More" group, repaints to "⟲ Show
original (Spanish)" after an auto-translate completes.

a2c43d6a22 Theseus: language menu stays short, language change always re-translates
The chip menu showed every entry in WEBSITE_LANGUAGE_QUICK (24 rows, most
greyed with "— translator coming later") and the picker read as a wall
of coming-soon noise. The top strip now carries only the languages the
translator actually handles — Automatic plus the six supported ones
(en, es, fr, de, el, ru) — and everything else moves into a "More
languages (translator coming later)" submenu where the greyed rows live
without crowding the main menu. If the user's current pin is one of the
unsupported ones, it stays visible at the top so the ✓ reads at a
glance, not two levels deep.

Translation didn't follow a language change reliably:
- A page with no `<html lang>` left pageLang empty, which the auto-
  translate hook took as "no translation needed" and skipped the entire
  page. Now an empty source is still translated (the backend auto-detects
  the real language), and the hook only skips when pageLang is known AND
  matches the user's target.
- Changing the pin via Settings or the chip reloaded the active tab but
  did not re-translate — the hook needs auto-offer on, and even then
  a `pending` latch set by setWebsiteLanguage was wiped by the reload's
  did-start-navigation reset. The `pending` bit now survives that reset,
  so the did-finish-load hook translates unconditionally for an explicit
  language switch (the user ASKING for a new language IS the request to
  translate the current page too). A translated page is reverted before
  the reload so the fresh HTML lands on original DOM, not a mix of old
  translated nodes and new content. Verified end-to-end: an es→en auto-
  translate followed by a pin to French takes the page to French in one
  shot without the chip being touched.

9f46d932b6 Aegis 0.29.0: start on first use, not at every Theseus launch
Aegis was most of what was left of launch cost: its crypto and
WizardConnect deps block the main thread for ~0.6 s right after the first
frame. It now declares its panel and "activation": "on-demand"; the
dapp bridges are still on every page from the start, and the first page
call, panel open or wiz:// link starts it.

activate() returns a promise the host waits on, so the call that woke
Aegis finds WizardConnect and the mounted wallets. With a locked vault it
does not wait for the mount (derive blocks until unlock), so the page gets
the usual locked answer in ~0.7 s instead of after the host's 5 s limit.

Two things only work while Aegis runs: a live WizardConnect pairing (no one
else listens on its relays) and "stay unlocked" (which also opens
Settings > Passwords). While either is on, Aegis asks the host to start it
at launch, and withdraws the request when both are off. Pairings left
behind by a removed wallet do not count.

Boot trace, same profile, 3 warm runs: main thread blocked in the first
6 s 970-1040 ms -> 300-320 ms, longest block 605-667 ms -> 227-244 ms,

129e4c6729 Aegis: the ETH and SOL bridge went missing on most pages, for good
The main-world bridge is appended at document_start, which often runs
before the page has an <html> element. The append threw on null, and the
catch marked the origin as Trusted-Types-blocked in localStorage, so every
later visit skipped window.ethereum, window.solana and the EIP-6963
announcement on that site. On example.com it failed on 6 of 6 loads.

Wait for <html> with a MutationObserver (it fires at the microtask
checkpoint before the first parser-inserted script, so the bridge is still
first), remember only real Trusted Types refusals, and use a new key so the
origins wrongly marked by the old one get the bridge back.

7087ab57ca Theseus: extension panels on the left edge
Extensions could only put panels in the right sidebar. An add-on can now
register a panel with side: "left": its icon joins the quick-links strip
(above the web-app links), and it opens in the strip's panel slot in its
own view with the sidebar preload, so the add-on bridge, events and the
widen/narrow controls work as on the right. A left panel and a quick-link
web app never share the slot; reopening keeps the panel's page and state.
Left panels drop out of the right sidebar and its dock. With the strip
turned off they fall back to the right sidebar so they stay reachable.

Pithos is the first: bundled copy rebuilt with side: "left".

de7735feb3 Theseus: quick-unlock PIN for the vault, shared with extensions
The vault re-locks on every restart and only the master password opened
it, so every extension that needs it (Aegis, now Pithos) either asked for
the master password itself or grew its own PIN. Theseus now owns one:

- Settings > Passwords sets, changes or removes a 6-digit PIN. The PIN
  wraps the master password (PBKDF2-SHA256, 600k iterations, AES-256-GCM)
  and the result is sealed with the OS keystore (safeStorage: DPAPI /
  Keychain / libsecret), so a copied vault-pin.json cannot be brute-forced
  elsewhere. Every unlock still ends at the master password.
- Three wrong PINs in a row require the master password. The strike count
  lives in the same file, so a restart does not reset it; a successful
  master-password unlock does. A PIN whose password no longer opens the
  vault (password changed) is dropped.
- unlock.html is Theseus's own prompt, over the whole window: PIN pad, or
  the master password. Extensions call api.vault.requestUnlock({ reason })
  (vault-derive capability) and get { ok } back; what the user typed never
  reaches them. Settings' locked screen offers "Unlock with PIN" through
  the same prompt.

3536cd89bd Theseus: one language chip, auto-translate, picker owns up to what works
Two chips carried the same word in two shapes — a globe (Accept-Language)
and a translate chip (chip lights when page lang differs) — both labelled
"RU" at the same time for a Russian user. The chip for translation is
gone. The globe menu now covers both: a "Translate this page from X to Y"
item appears at the top when the loaded page is in another supported
language, flipping to "Show original" while a translation is on screen.
The chip's own code still shows the user's language (EN, RU, …); its
tooltip switches to "Translated to <X>. Menu: Show original." when a
translation is up, so the one chip reads the whole state.

With "Translate automatically" on, Theseus translates in place on
did-finish-load the first time it sees a supported source + target
mismatch for the active tab — no chip-click needed. A `_tr.autoTried`
latch keeps it to one attempt per document (a failing backend doesn't
retry on every reflow), and the latch resets on did-start-navigation so
the next page gets a fresh shot. The setting copy in Settings › Language
now says "Translate automatically" instead of "Offer to translate", so
the switch's label matches the behaviour.

The picker (both in Settings and in the globe menu) still lists every
language in WEBSITE_LANGUAGE_QUICK, but entries whose base code isn't
on the translator backend (en, es, fr, de, el, ru today) are shown
greyed out with "— translator coming later", and "Other… (Accept-Language
only, no translation)" is explicit about what free-form tags buy you.
The menu is a roadmap, not a lie: a user picking one of the greyed
entries sets Accept-Language and nothing else surprises them.

b0206f9c1e Theseus 0.3.73: Updates description — honest about the startup retry
0.3.72 shipped without the Settings › General › Updates copy update:
"Theseus already checks the release manifest at boot and every 6h" is
accurate for a successful first check, but silent about the retry
backoff (8s, 30s, 2min, 10min, 30min) that fires when the startup
attempt is offline — on a slow or captive-portal connection the user
would see several checks in the first 43 minutes and the copy made
that look like a bug. The new wording owns the retry.

88044952e3 Theseus: Settings grows its own Language page
Website language, offer-to-translate and the translator peers list used
to sit as three sub-sections inside General, and Privacy › Anti-
fingerprinting duplicated the language picker on top of them — three
places to edit the one languageMode/languageValue setting. Settings
grows its own Language entry in the sidebar now; everything about
language — the preferred-language picker, the auto-offer toggle, the
peer list, the API key — lives there, and the Privacy duplicate is
gone. The chip in the URL bar still edits the same setting, so the
toolbar surface is unchanged.

The copy for the picker ("Your language") now says what the setting
actually drives: it's sent as Accept-Language and it's the translator's
target. Legacy "hide"/"spoof" language modes migrate to Automatic on
first open of Settings (the picker only has Automatic / a tag / Other),
so a profile that still carries one of those from an older release
lands on a valid state the first time Settings opens.

Greek (el-GR) was already in the picker; this release's silentmode.st/
libre backend added `el` to --load-only so the translator now has real
en↔el support — the picker and the backend are in step.

4ad95b3c7a Theseus: bundle the Pithos add-on
Ships Pithos (the s3d control panel) as a built-in extension: the dock
menu opens it in a tab served from a loopback port, and "Stop s3d"
shuts the gateway down. Generated by Pithos/scripts/build-theseus-addon.mjs.

yaml is vendored under vendor/yaml/lib rather than node_modules/ or
dist/, because Theseus git-ignores both and a clean-worktree release
build would otherwise ship the add-on without its only dependency.

7254ffe6f4 Theseus: read BNS names from Ariadne's indexer; its own is the standby
Migration step 3 (DESIGN-bns-indexer-service.md). Ariadne's Thread now owns
BNS indexing on the machine, so Theseus no longer runs a second electrum
indexer beside it.

bns-indexer.js keeps its process and its messages to main.js, but inside
it is now an index host on the shared source chain:
- Ariadne's indexer over its pipe, trusted only after ariadne-helper.exe
  has checked the server process on that connection (found through
  Ariadne's uninstall key), then pushes;
- the local copies: Ariadne's files for both scopes, Theseus's own raw
  copy, the bundled one. The richest wins.
- Theseus's own index copy, written from the pipe data.

The shared core runs as Theseus's own indexer only while Ariadne is
unhealthy. That means: no pipe 4 s after launch, a pipe that fails the
check, a pipe that went silent, or an index not confirmed for 10 min while
Ariadne is not paused. The own indexer warm-starts from Ariadne's
snapshot, so there is no download and no cold sync. It hands back after
90 s of health, so a flapping service does not start and stop it. Economy
is not a failure and never triggers a takeover. With no checkable Ariadne
(portable, not installed, older than the pipe) the own indexer starts at
once, as in 0.3.70. The one thing Theseus does on Ariadne's side is run
the indexer's task at launch when "Launch at start" is off.

main.js passes the shared module paths (packaged as .mjs, which is why the
shared modules no longer import each other) and keeps the host's status.
The Ariadne panel takes its state from the indexer task when one exists,
and the sub-page says where Theseus's names come from.
