- Electrum: a reply larger than 8 MB ends the connection; a server
streaming without newlines used to grow the buffer without bound and
re-parse it on every chunk, on the Electron main thread.
- Overlay amounts are formatted from integer strings: 0.1 ETH read
0.100000000000000006, and 1 ETH + 1 wei read 1.
- The panel escapes a broadcast txid shown without an explorer link.
- A TPM refusal hands back only its own PIN attempt, not the count
before it, which could undo guesses made in parallel.
- BCH WIF imports must carry this network's version byte and a valid
compression flag; a 64-byte Solana keypair must have a public half
that matches its secret half.
- WizardConnect: the overlay shows the network fee (exact, as
SIGHASH_UTXOS commits to the inputs), marks outputs to this wallet's
own addresses, lists every token input and every output instead of
"... and N more" (more than 30 is refused), and a very high fee or
token inputs get the danger button.
- DAI permits: expiry 0 reads "never expires", and the allowed flag is
read the way the encoder signs it.
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.
