Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
0cf6ca10b4
New record kind alongside h / s3 / ip / u: `p` reverse-proxies the request to a full upstream URL while keeping the BNS host in the address bar. Unlike `ip` (which pins the upstream to a raw IP + on-chain TLS fingerprint), `p` uses the upstream's own DNS + public CA cert and sends `Host:` of the upstream so vhost-based origins answer correctly. Argus (record-picker.js): - Placed AFTER `ip` in the apex chain: a name carrying both keeps its existing pinned-IP behavior; names with only `p` get honored instead of falling through to `u` and 302-ing away. - Not applied to subdomain inheritance — `p` is single-URL by intent, and inheriting through a subdomain would silently mangle the target. Theseus (main.js serveBns): - Fetches the upstream (path prefix from the `p` URL is preserved) and returns the response body/status/content-type verbatim. Provenance label "mirror" appears in the source badge. Tests: record-picker.test.mjs covers `p`-only, `p`+ip precedence, and the subdomain-suppression rule. |

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.
Roadmap
