Local Dev 523832cd72 feat(theseus/screenshot): 0.4.0 — editor lives inside the sidebar, maximizable
User report: the sidebar preview lands correctly, but the moment the editor
opens in its own tab the picture is blank. Rather than chase that class of
handoff race again, put the editor in the same webContents as the panel:
the sidebar view navigates panel.html ↔ editor.html in place. Same
document object, same silentmode.storage surface, no cross-tab __pending
transfer at all.

- panel.html "Edit" button now calls silentmode.invoke("arm", …) — the
  add-on rewrites __pending with the currently-previewed capture's bytes,
  and the panel does location.href = "editor.html?name=…". Sidebar view
  loads the editor with the same preload; editor.js's storage-based load
  path pulls the pending entry out and paints.
- editor.html gains a "Back" arrow (returns to panel.html) and a
  maximize / restore icon.
- discard() now navigates to panel.html instead of closeTab() — there is
  no tab to close.
- Manifest drops the "open-tab" capability entirely (no more full-tab
  editor); keeps sidebar-panel + capture-tab.

Framework: new silentmode.sidebar.{maximize, restore, toggleMax, isMax,
onMaxChange}. main.js honours them via new sidebar-maximize / -restore /
-toggle-max / -is-max IPCs, remembering the pre-maximize width so a
restore drops back exactly. The sidebar drag-grip auto-exits maximize
mode on any user drag, so pulling the edge always lands on the pre-max
value plus/minus the delta. sidebar-preload exposes the surface;
chrome.html renderer is untouched — this is a per-panel affordance.

Editor tools (crop / arrow / rect / ellipse / pen / text / mosaic /
undo / redo / copy / save) unchanged. Save still goes through Chromium's
<a download> path, so the file lands in Downloads and appears in the
download chip like any other save.

Bundled but not shipped — leaving version bump + deploy to parent session.

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.
