The PIN could only be six digits and was set from three bare inputs; the
unlock prompt sat at the top of the page; and the password manager only
filled when you found the key chip, never offered to save, and "Clear
cookies on quit" signed you out of every site, including the ones whose
login the vault already holds.
- PINs are 6 to 8 digits. The PIN record stores its length so pads draw the
right number of dots and submit on the last digit; a PIN of the wrong
length is refused without a strike, so an older Aegis pad cannot burn the
count against an 8-digit PIN.
- Settings sets a PIN in steps: master password, choose the PIN on a pad
(6/7/8), repeat it, done. The locked vault opens Theseus's own prompt,
which is now centred, with the PIN pad or the master password field.
- After a sign-in or sign-up form is sent and the page moves on, Theseus
offers to save (or update) the login, with an optional "ask for my PIN or
password before filling it". Focusing a login form offers the saved
logins under it; on a locked vault it offers to unlock first. A failed
login (the password field still showing) gets no offer.
- "Keep sign-ins for sites in your vault" (on): the quit clear spares the
cookies and site storage of sites with a saved login. Their hostnames are
kept sealed with the OS keystore so the list is readable at quit while
the vault is locked. Verified end to end on a scratch profile: signed in,
restarted, still signed in; another site's cookie was cleared.
The blocklist consumer existed in the resolver library and the gateway, but
the browser opened a flagged name without comment. Now the indexer process
reads the subscribed lists from the chain every ten minutes and hands the
flags to main. A flagged name loads a warning page naming the reason, the
list and the report; the user may continue, and that is remembered per name.
Two gates, because content is reached two ways. loadBns shows the real
interstitial. serveBns refuses with an inline page on every path that skips
it: reload, back and forward, bns:// links, web app windows. The inline page
has no button, since a page at the site's own origin must not be able to
approve itself; only blocked.html may ask to continue, checked by file URL.
Settings › Naming has the policy: warn (default), never open, or ignore the
lists. The csam reason is never offered a way through. A list that cannot be
read keeps the last known flags and never stops a name from resolving.
The gateway put its own warning in front of flagged sites, which this
browser could not get past: it fetches files itself, with no cookie jar. It
now sends x-bns-policy: client and the gateway stays out of the way for a
client that says it decides for itself.
dev/blocklist-selftest.js runs the real protocol handler and decision
functions against a scratch profile.
Merges a parallel session's work with the multi-source BNS story from 0.0.7.
The dApp side (parallel session)
--------------------------------
* bcnr-preload.js — installs `window.bcnr` on every page via contextBridge.
Read-only surface: resolveName(name), isRegistered(name), getBcnrTlds(),
getRecordVersion(name), plus getPermissionOrigin() for diagnostics. All
Promises; a missing name returns null (not throw). No signing, no wallet
unlock — that surface is designed but deliberately out of scope for 0.0.8
(see TheseusNavigator/DESIGN-integrated-wallet.md).
* bcnr-origin.js — pure function that computes the eTLD+1 permission origin
for a URL. ICANN suffixes via `psl` (same PSL Chromium uses, handles
.co.uk / .github.io / etc); BNS names key off the on-chain TLD list so
foo.wallet becomes a public suffix as soon as `wallet` appears there.
Match browser cookie / MetaMask semantics: a grant on pay.merchant.com
covers account.merchant.com but not evil.com.
* dev/bcnr-selftest.js, dev/origin-selftest.mjs — self-tests, no I/O.
* main.js wires bcnr-preload.js into session.defaultSession.setPreloads() so
it runs BEFORE per-WebContentsView preloads; adds bcnr:* IPC handlers.
* preload.js + chrome.html — small hooks so the shell picks up window.bcnr
the same way regular content does.
* package.json — psl dep, bcnr-preload.js/bcnr-origin.js in `files`.
Also included
-------------
* AriadneResolver/mobile/.../UpdateCheck.java — in-app update-check for the
Android app; already active in the shipped 0.11 APK (build.ps1 -Recurse
picked it up), formalising the source now.
* TheseusNavigator/snapshots/bns-name-snapshot.json — refreshed bundled
starter (73 beacon txs, root c37b8596…c54e414ba).
* Site pages + manifest updated to point at 0.0.8.

Broad-scope commit sweeping in work from parallel sessions plus this session's
dev-only utilities. No single unifying theme — this is the "commit everything
that's ready" pass. Grouped by area below.
AriadneResolver / mobile
* Small updates to BchFetcher, Bns, MainActivity, AriadneVpnService, and the
Android manifest — from a parallel mobile-resolver session.
* AriadneResolver/mobile/webpreview/ — new local dev webview (index.html +
server.mjs) for iterating on the mobile UI without a device.
Email / SnappyMail
* Email/snappymail-plugin/silentmode-addresses — new SnappyMail plugin
(README, CSS, PHP entry, JS) for surfacing @silentmode.st address
management inside the webmail UI.
Hephaestus (Forgejo + auth-proxy)
* auth-proxy/src/oidc.ts + docker-compose.yml updates.
* scripts/bootstrap-auth.sh — idempotent script that registers the wallet
auth-proxy as Forgejo's OIDC provider after `docker compose up -d`. All
secrets read from .env — no literals in the script.
TheseusNavigator / dev tools
* dev/list-tlds.mjs — enumerate every registered BNS name grouped by TLD via
our own indexer.
* dev/show-tlds-bch.mjs — dump the full records payload of the legacy
tlds.bch name (kept as a diagnostic for the list-in-one-NFT era).
Deviant sites + brand
* site/deviant/ — new microsites (anthemus, potidaea, brand, mindmap, main
index) plus the full brand kit under site/deviant/brand/ (logos, icons,
palette, social exports as SVG source + PNG renders).
* site-sirius-x/portal.html — updates.
Coordination
* _coordination/sessions/mobile-resolver.md — parallel-session notes.
Deliberately excluded from this commit:
* scratchpad/ — this session's temp drafts (Sia doc mockups, tlds UPD payloads).
* TheseusNavigator/_prev/ — ~372 MB of prior release binaries; belongs in
a separate artefacts store, not the git tree. Add to .gitignore next pass.
Parallel session was right — the previously-shipped f94834b5 pre-dated:
1. the ASCII em-dash sweep in setup/install.ps1 (Inno's [Run] uses
powershell.exe / PS 5.1; em-dashes in the file crashed the parser
under UAC, so the installer copied files but never registered the
scheduled task or NRPT rule)
2. the multi-TLD NRPT expansion (added .p2p .bit .nav alongside .bch)
3. the VPS-primary electrum server list — resolver-web.js now dials
wss://coinspectrum.duckdns.org:50011 first (Silent Mode's own
BCHN-backed BNS-only indexer), public servers as fallback
Result: a real user installing 3438d558 on a fresh Windows box now gets
a working system-wide resolver with no manual steps.
Deployed to dl.silentmode.st and mirrored to Sia bns/silentmode/.
