Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
Several concurrent workstreams committed together as a checkpoint: - Ariadne mobile resolver — BchFetcher/Bns/MainActivity resolution logic, AndroidManifest + build.ps1 - Theseus password manager — settings.html/chrome.html/settings-preload.js UI + main.js wiring + package.json resource; Argus password-vault.js, record-picker.js (+ tests) and resolver-web.d.ts - Hephaestus — new BCH-wallet OIDC auth-proxy + Forgejo docker-compose and restic/S3 scripts (secrets referenced via env only; Hephaestus/.env is gitignored) - Argus public-gateway.mjs updates - Docs — root README, Email README/RUNBOOK, VPS access runbooks (Checkers/Deviant), site/hermes, WebsiteDev registry + faster-blocks, Failures/ AAAA-mangle writeup, Decentralized Storage map, coordination notes - .gitignore — exclude /.keys/ and Hephaestus/.env |

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.
