Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
Replaces the padlock in the address bar with a heraldic shield outline that changes colour to communicate the connection state at a glance: neutral (--dim) home / resolving — no site or pending secure (#4fd1a5) BCDN chain-verified (kind:"ok") OR https:// clearnet insecure (#f6768a) nxdomain / resolver error / plain http:// Single-path SVG with fill=currentColor, so state-class CSS toggles the tint without touching the geometry. The shape matches the reference image the user provided — flared shoulders at the top, concave flanks tapering to a sharp bottom point (bounds x:2 y:1.2 w:12 h:13.8 in the 16x16 viewBox). setBadge() gets one extra branch: for kind:"web" it now inspects d.url's scheme so plain HTTP shows insecure red instead of the previous neutral. The legacy .warn class is kept but unused by the standard states — any lingering caller keeps working (orange). Green/red match the download-tracker palette so the visual system stays consistent across the toolbar. |

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.
