Local Dev 38951f42d5 Resolver 3438d558: ASCII-clean install.ps1 + multi-TLD NRPT + VPS-first electrum
Parallel session was right — the previously-shipped f94834b5 pre-dated:
  1. the ASCII em-dash sweep in setup/install.ps1 (Inno's [Run] uses
     powershell.exe / PS 5.1; em-dashes in the file crashed the parser
     under UAC, so the installer copied files but never registered the
     scheduled task or NRPT rule)
  2. the multi-TLD NRPT expansion (added .p2p .bit .nav alongside .bch)
  3. the VPS-primary electrum server list — resolver-web.js now dials
     wss://coinspectrum.duckdns.org:50011 first (Silent Mode's own
     BCHN-backed BNS-only indexer), public servers as fallback

Result: a real user installing 3438d558 on a fresh Windows box now gets
a working system-wide resolver with no manual steps.

Deployed to dl.silentmode.st and mirrored to Sia bns/silentmode/.

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.
