Three fixes since 0.3.25:
1799a09(a) - Screenshot toolbar-menu captures no longer come out blank
on Windows. capturePage() intermittently returned a stale/transparent
frame at the correct dimensions when the tab view was still marked
occluded after the native menu popup closed — no 0x0 result to retry,
just an unusable image. captureTab now uses CDP Page.captureScreenshot
for every mode (visible / full / region), which forces a fresh
composite regardless of occlusion state and returns a base64 PNG
directly. Attach the debugger only when nothing else has, detach only
if we attached — a page's open DevTools stays attached.
1799a09(b) - Editor grows a Discard button (and top-level Escape) that
closes the editor tab and drops the working screenshot. Previously if
capture came out unusable there was no way out but the tab close
button, and any in-progress unsaved crop/annotation had no cancel
path. New addon-tab-close IPC lets an add-on's own page close its
own tab; window.silentmode.closeTab() exposes it. Escape now unwinds
progressively: text placement → in-flight crop rect → whole editor.
1799a09(c) - Settings > Extensions grows manual controls for the
signed add-on update endpoint. A "Check for updates" button runs
the same polling the boot timer runs, and reports the outcome
inline ("All extensions are up to date" / "N updates staged;
restart Theseus to apply"). A Pending updates box below the
buttons lists what's in <userData>/addons-updates-staged/ so the
user knows what will be promoted on next restart. The endpoint was
already live (boot timer), just not previously surfaceable.
Toolbar-menu popup settle bumped 120 → 250 ms with an explicit
win.focus() in the popup close callback. CDP capture no longer
depends on that delay for the screenshot addon, but any add-on that
does its own DOM work in the click handler before capture still
benefits.
Screenshot add-on bumped 0.2.2 → 0.2.3 (Discard button; capture
comes from the host, not the add-on).
Also carrying forward everything committed in 0.3.22 – 0.3.25 that
had not reached LIVE:
- 0.3.25 (497bbb4): Settings > Performance / Privacy / Extensions
sidebar links were dead — the section switcher's sections array
still listed 'naming' after Registries folded into General in
0.3.21, and the null lookup threw before switching. One-line fix
(cbdc755).
- 0.3.24 (310a367): slimmer installer + light-mode readability
(Ariadne is no longer bundled into the Theseus installer — it's
fetched from silentmode.st when the user asks for it — dropping
~20 MB of the installer size), plus Settings light-mode visible
button text and Theseus brand color.
- 0.3.23 (9c15ff7): BCH-palette light mode + user-agent strip.
Deployed. Verified LIVE 0.3.26.

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
