- pdf-editor 0.1.1 → 0.1.2: manifest.icon is a data:image/svg+xml red PDF document badge (dock renders it as <img>). Same on toolbar-menu.icon. Item-level icons dropped — those go through the native OS menu that doesn't render data URIs. - translate 0.1.0 → 0.1.1: default LibreTranslate mirror was translate.argosopentech.com, which is now a dead domain — panel just said "Failed" on every request. Switched default to translate.disroot.org (currently up), added a datalist of known mirrors, and a one-shot migration off the dead default so existing installs recover on next load. - docx-editor 0.1.0 → 0.1.1: manifest.icon is a data:image/svg+xml blue DOC document badge, index.js no longer overrides it with 📝, and the panel header uses the same inline SVG. Same rationale as pdf-editor — every extension was rendering as either 📄 or 📝, so PDF and Word were visually identical to the Notepad. |

Word editor — a Theseus community extension
Opens, edits and saves Word documents (.docx) in a full Theseus tab.
This is not a bundled add-on. It isn't in bundled-addons/, it isn't in
the installer's extraResources, and a fresh Theseus profile doesn't have it.
Users get it the same way they'd get anyone else's extension: from
Settings › Extensions › Community, which lists whatever is in the
catalogue at theseus.x/extensions.
Living outside the browser build is the point. A .docx editor is a big dependency — a megabyte of vendored library — and nobody should carry it because they wanted a browser.
Building
The vendored libraries (mammoth, ProseMirror, docx, JSZip) are bundled by a build step that lives outside this folder, because mammoth needs local patches before it can carry everything the editor edits:
cd ../../addon-build/docx-editor
npm install
npm run build # writes vendor/docx-vendor.js here
npm run pack # writes out/docx-editor-<version>.tar.gz
vendor/docx-vendor.js is committed, so the extension is installable straight
from a checkout; re-run npm run build after touching anything under
addon-build/.
Publishing
npm run pack produces the tarball and its sha256. Uploading it is a separate
step, and this repo can't do it: a community extension is signed by the
owner of a BNS name, using that name's wallet.
The straightforward route is the publish page at
theseus.x/extensions/publish — it unlocks a wallet in the browser, checks
that the name is yours, then signs and PUTs the tarball to
/api/ext/<publisher-name>/docx-editor/<version>. The gateway verifies both
signatures against the name's current owner, stores the tarball on Sia and
updates catalog.json, which is what Settings and the site both read.
Version numbers must increase, and the id docx-editor belongs to whichever
name publishes it first.
Testing
Three levels, all re-runnable, all from ../../addon-build/docx-editor:
node test/roundtrip.mjs # the built-in fixture
node test/corpus.mjs <folder of .docx> # real documents
node ../../../scratchpad/verify-docx-editor/drive.mjs # a real Theseus, over CDP
The last one installs this folder into a throwaway profile the way the community channel would, and is the only one that catches browser-only breakage.
What survives a round trip, and what doesn't, is written up in ROUND-TRIP.md. Read that before promising anyone a Word feature.
