Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.

Two problems bundled into the branded error page: 1) "fetch failed" on no network — the tab kept falling through to name-not-registered (and other "we asked and got nothing" verdicts) because a totally offline browser can't reach the beacon to know. Add a first-class `offline` kind that runs before every other verdict: navigator.onLine === false wins; the page says "You appear to be offline" and keeps the address so the user can Retry after reconnecting. 2) Typos on BCNR names (games.x when they meant game.x) — the page only offered Search / Register. Now the page asks main for the top near-matches from the warm sharedIndex (Levenshtein ≤ 2, same TLD) over an origin-gated `error-bns-similar` IPC. Up to three matches render as chip-links; clicking one retries at that host, preserving the original path. Works offline too — the index is local. Origin-gate on the IPC uses the existing isErrorPageSender check, and error-preload.js exposes only the invoke — no arbitrary index access. |

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
