Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
panel.html loaded lib/jsqr.js synchronously: 257 KB and 10,105 lines of
vendored decoder parsed on every panel open, so on every hide/show, for a
feature most sessions never touch. It is now fetched the first time someone
imports a QR image, with concurrent callers sharing one load and a failed
load retryable rather than cached as a permanent rejection.
qr.js and panel.js get `defer`, so the browser can paint the (already dark)
document before executing 300 KB of panel.js. Order is preserved, so qr.js
is still defined before panel.js runs.
Parsed on open: 650 KB -> 399 KB.
This shortens the blank window but does not remove it. The white box itself
is Theseus-side: the sidebar panel's view is built as
new WebContentsView({ webPreferences: { preload: "sidebar-preload.js" } })
with no backgroundColor, and Electron defaults a view's background to white —
so white shows from view-attach until the page paints. Every other view in
the app passes a colour, and registerSidebarPanel takes only
{id, title, icon, page}, so an add-on cannot declare one. Not fixed here:
main.js belongs to the Theseus work in flight.

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.
Roadmap
