Local Dev 3e784e299c Theseus 0.3.31 rewrite — UI improvements + defensive hash-verify, spawn flags unchanged
Same 0.3.31 version, new binary. Rebuilds the shipped 0.3.31 with the
salvageable content from the reverted 0.3.32-0.3.34 track:

  chrome.html
    - light-mode chrome strip: --bg #e6e8ec, inactive tab #f2f4f7,
      active tab #ffffff. Fixes the "tabs disappear into the light
      Windows title bar" report.
    - bookmark chips shrunk: 130px max-width, 11px text, 12px favicon,
      22px row (was 26). ~40% more chips fit in the same width.
    - bookmark chips draggable with the tab-strip's left/right-half
      drop convention; new .dropbefore/.dropafter accent.
    - light-mode .tor + .logo + .upchip chips: from illegible white-
      on-#253A49 (at 12-13px) to #eef1f5 with #253A49 ink. Both readable
      now. .tor.connecting/.on keep amber/purple hue in light fills.

  main.js
    - will-download update handler now streams the saved setup .exe
      through crypto.createHash("sha256"), compares to the manifest's
      updateAvailable.setupHash before marking ready. Rejects and
      deletes the file on mismatch or on empty manifest hash. Test C
      in the previous session proved this catches truncated payloads
      Electron reports as "completed" (a real class of failure the
      Ariadne addon updater has always guarded against here).
    - new bookmark-move IPC: splices the list, no-ops on self-drop
      or missing entry.

  preload.js
    - moveBookmark(fromUrl, targetUrl, place) exposed for chrome.

Deliberately NOT changed: install-update-now still spawns setup with
["/S"] alone. The 0.3.32 --updated /S --force-run change was proven
in the previous session's real-install E2E to not address the actual
"browser vanished on D:\Program Files install" symptom — every flag
combination (/S alone, --updated /S --force-run, /S /currentuser,
/S /D=<install>) exits 0 without upgrading anything on that specific
install path. That's a separate open bug; not touched here.

Version stays 0.3.31 — this is a binary rewrite of 0.3.31, not a new
release. Existing 0.3.31 installs won't see an update chip (version
compare returns false), which is intentional given the auto-update
path is still broken for non-default install locations.

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.
