Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
Setup 4830da019914019c5d3575420b490a278bc3ba63606680f84c30d58de5ff9500 Portable 1ef76b5b0fae9ac5a201956f6f3da55b1f1ceec8a035cc0d498147a210491b5f One theseus change since 0.3.18: 7672ce0 - Signed add-on update endpoint activates. The Silent Mode operator Ed25519 pubkey (generated 2026-09-07, 732b1263a236b0030383a2376597cfa43c3624b3ca2912a46134f8f2a06e6012) is baked into addon-update-pubkeys.js, so on every boot Theseus polls each installed add-on's updateURL 30 s in, verifies the signed updates.json against the pubkey, and stages any newer signed version under <userData>/addons-updates-staged/ for promotion on the next launch. Verification, backup, and promotion mechanics unchanged from 0.3.18. The screenshot add-on already advertises https://addons.silentmode.st/screenshot/updates.json; publishing a signed entry there is what activates real updates. No entry is published yet, so this build's boot-time fetch fails silently until the operator lands the first signed payload via scripts/sign-addon-update.mjs. 3be152a - Also in this ship: package-lock.json resynced with package.json. The 0.3.18 ship inadvertently committed WIP dependency additions (bitcoinjs-lib, bip32, bip39, ecpair, @bitcoinerlab/secp256k1) via git commit -o's file-scoped semantics without a matching lock update. Fresh clones now build cleanly with npm ci. Deps are unused by shipped code at this time but ride along in node_modules — installer size grew ~400 KB. Deployed. Verified LIVE 0.3.19. |

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.
