Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
Migration step 3 (DESIGN-bns-indexer-service.md). Ariadne's Thread now owns BNS indexing on the machine, so Theseus no longer runs a second electrum indexer beside it. bns-indexer.js keeps its process and its messages to main.js, but inside it is now an index host on the shared source chain: - Ariadne's indexer over its pipe, trusted only after ariadne-helper.exe has checked the server process on that connection (found through Ariadne's uninstall key), then pushes; - the local copies: Ariadne's files for both scopes, Theseus's own raw copy, the bundled one. The richest wins. - Theseus's own index copy, written from the pipe data. The shared core runs as Theseus's own indexer only while Ariadne is unhealthy. That means: no pipe 4 s after launch, a pipe that fails the check, a pipe that went silent, or an index not confirmed for 10 min while Ariadne is not paused. The own indexer warm-starts from Ariadne's snapshot, so there is no download and no cold sync. It hands back after 90 s of health, so a flapping service does not start and stop it. Economy is not a failure and never triggers a takeover. With no checkable Ariadne (portable, not installed, older than the pipe) the own indexer starts at once, as in 0.3.70. The one thing Theseus does on Ariadne's side is run the indexer's task at launch when "Launch at start" is off. main.js passes the shared module paths (packaged as .mjs, which is why the shared modules no longer import each other) and keeps the host's status. The Ariadne panel takes its state from the indexer task when one exists, and the sub-page says where Theseus's names come from. |

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
