Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
Import accepts a picture of a QR code. The file is decoded in the panel by
the vendored jsQR, drawn to a canvas: no upload, no network, no camera.
Image, not camera, on purpose. Theseus sets blockCamera + hideMediaDevices
by default and hides device labels from fingerprinting; a camera scanner
would fail silently for everyone until they turned that off globally, and a
wallet should not be the reason a privacy browser gives up the camera. A
photo or screenshot of the code needs no permission at all.
What comes back is classified, never trusted. A QR is opaque to the person
holding it, and "scan this to restore your wallet" is a working phish, so
the decode only chooses which field to fill:
BIP39-shaped (12/15/18/21/24 lowercase words) -> mnemonic field
WIF or 32-byte hex -> private key field
anything else -> nothing is filled; the
decoded text is shown so
the user can see it was a
URL, an address, or junk
Nothing auto-submits. The user reads what landed in the box and presses
Import, and the host handler still does the real validation.
jsQR 1.4.0 is vendored at lib/jsqr.js under Apache-2.0 with its LICENSE
beside it, unmodified and unminified — code that touches seed phrases should
be auditable in the shipped add-on, not an opaque blob. It is 57 KB gzipped.
Verified by round-tripping through the shipped path: Aegis's own encoder
builds the QR, it is rasterised to a real PNG File, and decodeQrFile() reads
it back byte-exact; an image with no code returns null rather than throwing;
and driving the actual file input fills the mnemonic for a seed, fills the
key field for a WIF, and leaves every field untouched for a phishing URL.

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
