Brand: the red-N compass from theseus.x is now the taskbar / titlebar /
File Explorer icon everywhere. Source SVG lives at
site-theseus-x/assets/favicon.svg so brand + browser icon stay in sync.
nsis/make-icons.mjs renders it to build/icon.png (512x512) and
build/icon.ico (multi-resolution: 16/24/32/48/64/128/256). Wired into
package.json: build.win.icon, build.nsis.installerIcon + uninstaller
+ header; the ico ships as an extraResource so main.js's BrowserWindow
also uses it at runtime. Icons live in build/ which is gitignored -
run `node nsis/make-icons.mjs` when the SVG changes.

Sidebar: multi-panel picker strip. When 2+ extensions register sidebar
panels, sidebar-preload.js injects a 32-px tab strip at the top of
every panel's document. Click a tab -> ipcRenderer sidebar-open ->
loadFile switch. Preload also injects box-sizing:border-box + a
33-px body padding so height:100% panels don't overflow. Solo-panel
case is unchanged (strip only appears when panels.length >= 2).

Search: Startpage is the new default. Both the default id and the
enabled-list ordering put it first. DDG stays enabled by default too.

Deploy: scp installers + manifest + tools/ + releases/ to VPS,
sia-upload of both trees, verified HEAD 200 and manifest 0.2.3.

Icons regenerated from theseus.x's favicon.svg; the .svg itself
shipped in the 0.1.x window when the theseus.x site went live.

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.
