Site manifest and download pages point at the rebuilt resolver:

  AriadneResolver-Setup-0.1.0.exe
  sha256 cb9e8ea0dcffaa60607ff1781e160199956dcf2d7dd69cd13986aba75fcf0fb1

Bumps release date to 2026-08-01. This build is the one that carries the
EDNS OPT-echo fix from the prior commit into what dl.silentmode.st
serves; users on the daemon should stop seeing "Server Not Found" for
normal ICANN names in Firefox / anything using getaddrinfo.

TheseusNavigator/package.json: adds engine-picker.html,
engine-picker-preload.js, popover.html, popover-preload.js to the
electron-builder `files` array. Because that list is explicit,
electron-builder shipped only what was listed, so in the packaged 0.0.1
build the WebContentsView created for the search-engine dropdown loaded
a nonexistent file and rendered blank -- visually identical to "the
button does nothing". `npm start` worked because dev reads from the
source tree. Fix restores the picker; needs a Theseus rebuild + redeploy
to reach users, then TheseusNavigator-Setup-0.0.1.exe's SHA-256 has to
be re-published here.

Ariadne hash still needs to be published on-chain to
releases.silentmode.bch (wallet spend, user's action).

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.
