Local Dev 75e468ae39 Theseus UX polish: BCDN/BCNR terminology + soft-mode prompt redesign 
Terminology (user-facing labels now match the product/registry distinction):
- BCDN = Bitcoin Cash Domain Names (the product — what you view)
- BCNR = Bitcoin Cash Name Registry (the on-chain system that backs it)
Chrome badge, popover, Settings section and 'Open with…' prompt all show BCDN
for a resolved name. BCNR stays only where the registry itself is the subject.

'Open with…' prompt (collision.html):
- Larger window (640x520, was 480x340)
- Radio-select pattern with explicit Open / Cancel buttons (was auto-fire on click)
- Enter = Open, Esc = Cancel, keyboard-first
- Body copy per operator spec (no product-name-in-parens; blockchain-generic)
- Card titles kept short: 'BCNR / BCDN' + 'ICANN / IANA'

Address-bar chip:
- Says BCDN (not BCNR) for on-chain names; ICANN for web
- Dropped the '·.tld' suffix — TLD is already in the URL bar
- On collision candidates: shows BOTH chips (BCDN | ICANN) with active
  highlighted; clicking the inactive one flips the tab (via collision-switch)

Settings section renamed Naming → Registries. Copy rewritten in the same
BCDN/BCNR frame; policy labels are now 'BCDN first' / 'ICANN first' / 'Ask
each time'.

Passive 'also on BCNR' bar copy updated to BCDN.

Verified: all preload/settings/main/chrome JS + HTML parse; no secrets in
staging.

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.
