Both selects grow a "Frequently used" optgroup above "All languages",
holding up to ten entries ranked by how often each language has actually
been translated to or from.
Counted on a successful translation, not on a dropdown change: picking
your way down the list looking for something would otherwise rank every
language you skimmed past as highly as the ones you work in. A
detected source counts too — with Auto-detect on you never pick that
language explicitly, but it is one you read.
Ties break on the language's display name so the order is stable rather
than dependent on object key order. Counts live in the existing uiState,
so they persist through the saveUi/loadState path already there, and the
group only appears once there is something to put in it.
Verified in the harness: one translation records exactly one use for the
target and one for the detected source; the cap holds at ten with
fifteen tracked; and a pre-seeded profile comes back with its group,
target and zoom restored, Auto-detect still first in the source select.
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.
