Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
Two visible fixes from the same 2026-09-09 screenshot:
Right-click a tab was building a DOM menu and then growing the chrome
view height so it would fit under the tabstrip. That opened a
visible gap between the toolbar and the tab body while the menu was
up. Now the tab context menu goes through a new IPC
"tab-context-menu-popup" (main.js) that pops an OS-native Menu at
the click point, floating above every WebContentsView — no layout
change, no gap. Preload exposes tabContextMenuPopup(id, {x, y});
chrome.html's tab contextmenu handler now calls it directly and the
DOM openTabContextMenu / openGroupSubmenu / growChromeForMenu path
is bypassed for tabs. (The bookmark bar's own ctxmenu still uses
the DOM path — its short 2-3-row menus don't grow chrome enough
to be visible.)
Bookmark chips were too small (130px max-width, 11px text, 22px row).
Now every chip is a fixed 150px × 28px cell so the row reads as a
uniform grid, 12.5px text, 14px favicon. Labels drop the descriptor:
"GAME.X — Bitcoin Cash game platform" renders as "GAME.X". The
trimmer splits on the first em-dash / en-dash / hyphen that's
surrounded by whitespace, so single-word titles and hyphenated
compound names ("Foo-Bar" with no spaces) come through intact. Full
title still shows on hover.

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
BUILD-ROADMAP.md Stage 5.
