Built-in extensions can answer paths under a name they ship with, so
Pithos opens at pithos.sia/<user>/<drive>/<folder> instead of a
loopback address, signed in only while the vault is unlocked. A tab
playing sound is no longer frozen in the background, so music keeps
playing when you switch tabs. A widened left panel covers the page
instead of squeezing it and the right sidebar. The tab that was open
at close loads on launch. Bundles Pithos 0.3.10 (views, compact sidebar
layout, music player, updater footer, Account page) and Aegis 0.31.0
(the audit fixes).
Pithos needs its full-page app at pithos.sia/<user>/<drive>/<folder>
instead of a loopback address. A new site-route capability lets a
built-in add-on declare names in its manifest (siteRoutes) and register
a handler for them; the bns:// handler asks it first for every path but
the root, and a handler that returns nothing hands the request back to
the name's own site. Community add-ons cannot use it, since answering
for a name is impersonating it.
Restore left every tab dormant, the active one included, so a fresh launch
showed the right tab highlighted over an empty page until it was clicked,
which reads as a broken restore. The active tab now loads as soon as the
toolbar has painted; every other restored tab stays dormant until it is
activated, so launch still costs one page renderer.
PIN checked by the host with a hard five-guess limit, permits described
from what is signed, unreadable WizardConnect requests refused, PIN
clearances bound to their request, permissions re-read after the PIN
wait, and the Tron duplicate-field fix (also shipped alone as 0.30.1).
- send, sendToken and consolidate now require the wallet id the panel
reviewed them for; a missing id used to skip the check, and the Solana
token send sent none, so a selection change under the PIN pad sent from
another wallet.
- "1 0" was read as 10: a space inside an amount is now refused.
- A BCMR registry list saved before https was enforced is filtered on read,
and names lose the soft hyphen, Arabic letter mark, Mongolian vowel
separator, line/paragraph separators and Unicode tag characters too.
signAndSend took a permissions snapshot, waited up to two minutes for the
PIN, then wrote the snapshot back. Revoking the site meanwhile still let
the allowance payment go out and restored the revoked allowance, and any
other permission change made during the wait was lost. After the wait it
now re-reads permissions, refuses an allowance payment whose allowance was
revoked, replaced or no longer covers it, and changes only this origin's
sendTx.
Freezing background tabs stopped music and talks the moment you
switched to another tab, which no other browser does. A tab that is
audible when its freeze is due is checked again later and frozen only
once it falls quiet.
One global 90 s clearance was opened by every PIN proof. Opening the
wallet or ticking a setting let the next dapp transaction from any site
through without a PIN; a dapp waiting in its poll could take the clearance
the user had just made for their own send; and with two sites waiting the
second one's request was dropped.
Each waiting dapp transaction now has an id, and only a proof naming that
id releases it; a proof given for "transaction" in the panel clears the
panel's next send only; any other proof clears nothing. The panel answers
waiting sites one at a time. Promote to HD now asks for the PIN like any
other spend instead of failing when PIN-per-transaction is on.
wc-sign accepted a flat request (tx and sourceOutputs at the top) that
buildWcApproval does not read, so any paired dapp could get a signature
after an overlay showing only the wallet, an input count and the sighash.
The signer now takes only the nested WizardConnect shape, and the overlay
refuses, without showing anything, a request whose outputs or spent
inputs it cannot decode. Total out now sums every output, not the first 8.
describePermit read td.message directly, and the EIP-712 encoder ignores
keys a type does not declare. A dapp could put a decoy allowed:false or
details:{amount:"1"} beside an unlimited permit and the overlay showed
the decoy, not risky, under the plain Sign button, with the same digest.
The overlay and the message preview are now built from the declared
fields only, the permit variant is picked from the declared type, and
dropped fields are counted on the overlay. Amounts of 2^96 units and up
are flagged as effectively unlimited, marketplace orders and Safe
transactions get the warning too, and the encoder refuses a non-hex
address instead of signing it as zero bytes.
The panel fetched the PIN blob and decrypted it itself, then reported its
own failures. The lockout therefore counted only what a well-behaved panel
chose to report, a 15-minute timer handed out five more guesses forever,
and anything able to run in the panel could take the blob and search the
million PINs offline in minutes.
The blob now never leaves index.js: pinSet builds it after checking the
master password against the vault, pinUnwrap counts each guess before
trying it, and five wrong guesses switch the PIN off until the master
password is entered. The panel keeps its PIN pads and only sends digits.
A blob from an older build (200k iterations) is re-made at 600k under a
fresh salt on the next correct PIN. Only the topmost PIN pad listens to
typed digits, so two stacked pads cannot both take one entry.
Widening an add-on's left panel shrank the open tab to a 120 px strip
and, with the right sidebar open, pushed the sidebar narrower too. Now
the widened panel lies over the tab area like a page of its own, up to
the right sidebar, which keeps its width; the tab underneath keeps its
size. Choosing a tab, opening Settings or a new tab, or using the
address bar narrows the panel back to a bar beside the page, the way a
maximized right sidebar already steps back.
0.30.0 is on the update channel and bundled in Theseus 0.3.75 with a Tron
decoder that a hostile site can use to show one transfer and sign another.
This is 0.30.0 plus that fix only; 0.31.0 is still under review.
The decoder read the first copy of a singular protobuf field; java-tron
keeps the last. Any.value is opaque bytes, so a TransferContract carrying
two recipients and two amounts hashes to the same txid either way: the
overlay showed "1 TRX to X" while the chain would move 999 TRX to
another address. It also defeated the plan-time and sign-time draft checks
against a hostile node. A repeated singular field, or a known field with
the wrong wire type, now refuses the transaction.

- 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.
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.
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.
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.
- `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.
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.
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.
Aegis is getting a standalone forge repo (silentmode/aegis) split from
this folder. Inside Theseus it was covered by the root LICENSE; on its
own it needs the license and a description in the folder itself.
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.
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.
Ships 2437506 (the restore setting was a no-op with the default quit
clear), the first-use loader for extensions with Aegis 0.29.0 bundled
(~0.7 s less main-thread work at launch, ETH/SOL bridge fixed), the
language picker as an overlay, Pithos 0.3.4 and the Ariadne status row.
"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.
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.
approvalRequest passed approve/reject keys the host overlay does not
know, so it showed a lone "OK" button whose id never equalled
"approve": every WizardConnect signing request was refused, and the
HTML body was shown as literal markup. It now passes a Sign action and
plain rows: wallet, input count, each output decoded to a cashaddr on
the wallet's network (or OP_RETURN / raw script), total, and who
broadcasts.
lib/dgb/deps.js is ESM, but in a dev checkout the nearest package.json
is TheseusNavigator's, which says "type": "commonjs"; the import threw
and DigiByte was silently unavailable whenever Theseus ran from the
repo. Shipped installs have no package.json above the add-on, so they
were unaffected. lib/dgb/core and lib/dgb/psbt already carry the same
marker.
The isolated-world relay accepted any postMessage carrying the fixed
tag "aegis-aegis", including one from a cross-origin iframe (an ad,
an embed), and attributed it to the top-level origin and its grants.
The tag now carries a per-load random nonce that only the injected
main-world bridge knows, and both listeners drop events whose source
is not this window. The document_start install path is unchanged.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
Connecting without ticking "Always allow" stored nothing, so the
site's very next call (personal_sign, signTransaction, ...) failed with
"not connected". Plain Connect now grants the origin in memory until
Theseus restarts; "Always allow" still persists. Every bridge (BCH,
Tron, EVM, Solana) checks grants the same way, revoke clears both, and
the connected-sites list shows EVM/Solana grants and which ones are
session-only.
The 2026-09-13 audit of the dapp bridges found real signing bugs whose
fixes were never committed; 0.30.0 carries them, ported onto the current
add-on.
They had a row of their own with nothing else in it, which read as an
empty card with a stray button. Same layout as the Plug-ins list row now:
buttons beside the on/off switch.
