Local Dev 65e9a18f33 Theseus: https:// scheme for BCDN + segmented-toggle registry switcher
BCDN pages now show https:// in the address bar (was bare 'host/', briefly bns://).
Rationale: BCNR replaces DNS (name resolution), NOT HTTP. Under the hood the
delivery IS HTTPS for s3/ip/p records; the on-chain h record has no transport
at all, but https:// is the least-surprising display. BCDN/ICANN badge is the
sole source-of-truth for which registry served us; scheme stays a convention.

Registry chip is now a proper segmented control:
- Two-chip toggle (collision candidates): single rounded pill, split in half
  with a divider — active side filled (acid green for BCDN, blue for ICANN),
  inactive side transparent + clickable. Feels like an on/off toggle.
- Single chip (pure ICANN or BCNR-unique TLD): standalone pill in the
  registry's colour. No toggle affordance since there's no alternative.

Same acid-glow-green (#d6ff3d) and blue (#4c9eff) as the collision.html prompt
so the whole registry palette is consistent across chrome + interstitial.

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.
