Local Dev 6c5fa9cea8 feat(aegis): 0.22.0 — show a wallet's secret key, behind the PIN
Getting a key back out of Aegis only worked for wallets it derived itself.
Every imported adapter's recovery() returned xprv:null with "Recovery lives
in the source of the import", so the wallets most likely to need exporting
were the ones that refused, and the vault-derived ones handed over an xprv
behind nothing but an approval click.

There is one gate now, and it is enforced in the host. revealSecret takes the
master password and verifies it with vault.lifecycle.unlock before it reads
anything; the panel obtains that password either by decrypting the PIN blob,
which wraps exactly it, or by asking. Both routes end at the same proof, so
the host never takes the panel's word for authorisation. The old
recovery({reveal:true}) path is gone and all six Settings buttons route here.

Three wrong PINs switch to the master password rather than dead-ending, and
those attempts still count toward the existing 15-minute lockout, so a
fumbled PIN costs nothing and a guessed one gains nothing. Being locked out
of the PIN also falls through to the password: the lockout exists to stop PIN
guessing, not to lock an owner out of their own key.

"Use PIN to show secret keys" defaults ON, unlike the send flag — a send is
already fronted by an approval overlay, whereas a revealed key is
irreversible the moment it is on screen. Turning it off moves the prompt to
the master password. There is deliberately no setting that reveals a key
without asking for anything.

It is NOT called a recovery phrase, because Aegis has none to show. An import
stores mnemonicToSeedHex(words) and discards the words, vault wallets are
HKDF(vault root, purpose) and never had words, and password-vault.js is
explicit that the seed is never persisted. So each form names itself — WIF,
private key (hex), wallet seed (hex), wallet key (hex) — and says where it
can actually be restored. Someone who writes down what this shows believing
it is twelve words has backed up nothing, which is the one outcome this
screen has to prevent.

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.
