Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
- Security popover redesigned to resemble Firefox's site-info panel: lock/shield hero, "Connection secure" status, host, plain-language subtitle, and a details grid; the overlay view auto-sizes to content. - Search-engine picker returned to the toolbar with an "Add / edit engines…" entry that opens Settings; added Ecosia, Mojeek, Presearch. - Custom search engines: add (name + URL template with %s) / remove in Settings > General; used by address-bar search. - Address-bar placeholder: "Ask a search engine or enter web address". |

Theseus Navigator
The browser — the consumer face of the stack. Native .bch support with the
resolver built in, so a user installs one app instead of modifying their
operating system. Named for the thread through the labyrinth: the chain is the
thread.
Scope
- Electron shell (Chromium engine, no forking): tabs, address bar, history.
- In-process
.bchresolution — no system daemon, no NRPT, no OS trust-store changes; reusesbns.jsfrom the BNS repo as a library. - Record handling:
hrender,ipconnect,p/s3via in-app gateway,uredirect. - TLS via cert-verify hook (Electron
setCertificateVerifyProc) against the BNS root / on-chaintlsfingerprints — no OS store touched. - Provenance indicator: shows whether a page came from the chain / Sia / a direct server, with NFT category and record type — the decentralized padlock.
Status: not started
Build it in its own session/repo. The ready-to-paste brief is
BROWSER-PROMPT.md (a reference copy in this folder; canonical source is
D:\Dev\NameCoin\BROWSER-PROMPT.md — if they diverge, NameCoin wins). It points
here and reuses the resolver core. theseus.bch is registered and should
eventually serve the browser's own homepage over the protocol it implements.
