  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

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.
