Setup 67e3cda1b76a6dba966d91a43e78fdb52378f860c0f75a7775d11b96e1b4f5e3 Portable 415c804f75df6fab5072650fbdc3cffa4124ed02f8ff53a91281ebd2dc4775c3 Update chip: the Download button used to hand the URL to the system browser (shell.openExternal) - user opens Theseus, gets prompted to update, clicks Download, watches ANOTHER browser wake up and start the transfer. That's the "why did a different browser open?" report. Fix: session.defaultSession.downloadURL(url) - triggers the same will-download handler our own downloads panel already listens on, so the file lands in the user's Downloads folder AND appears in Theseus's downloads chip with progress + Show-in-folder. Rejected protocols unchanged; only dl.silentmode.st and silentmode.st URLs survive the allowlist. Ctrl+B toggles the add-on sidebar (matches VS Code). Verified end- to-end against a fresh <userData>: bundled Notepad was seeded, Ctrl+B opened its panel, typed text autosaved to <userData>/addons-data/notepad.json, restart re-mounted and the text loaded back before the append could clobber it. Deployed: scp installers + manifest + tools/ + releases/ to VPS, sia-upload of both trees, verified HEAD 200 and manifest 0.2.1. |

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.
