Local Dev 2757cd8c64 Theseus: light/dark theme, redesigned search box, trimmed engines, WebRTC modes
- Light/dark/system theme (Settings > General) via nativeTheme.themeSource
  driving prefers-color-scheme across chrome, settings, popover, and home.
- Search box redesigned: a magnifier icon opens the engine dropdown, the rest
  is a wider typing field; styled to match the browser (was a raw <select>).
- Trimmed built-in engines to DuckDuckGo/Google/Brave/Bing/Startpage/Yandex;
  custom engines still add/remove via "Add / edit engines…".
- WebRTC: the "WebRTC Network Limiter" extension can't run in Electron
  (chrome.privacy API is unavailable), so its function is now a native
  4-mode WebRTC IP policy in Settings > Privacy.
- Address-bar placeholder: "Ask a search engine or enter web address".

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.
