Local Dev 0169fa3499 Theseus: shield security badge, colour-coded by connection state
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 .bch resolution — no system daemon, no NRPT, no OS trust-store changes; reuses bns.js from the BNS repo as a library.
  • Record handling: h render, ip connect, p/s3 via in-app gateway, u redirect.
  • TLS via cert-verify hook (Electron setCertificateVerifyProc) against the BNS root / on-chain tls fingerprints — 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.
