Local Dev 7254ffe6f4 Theseus: read BNS names from Ariadne's indexer; its own is the standby
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 .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.
