Three changes to the desktop home that landed in 0.3.90:
- Hero header is back. The compass mark, Theseus Navigator title, tagline
and search sit centered at the top of the page, same shape as the home
before the desktop redesign. The Edit button moves to the top-right
corner so the hero reads as identity, not chrome.
- Silent Mode on the right is CARDS again, not just tiles. Each card
carries the brand icon on the left, title + one-line description
stacked, and a muted acid-colored badge on the right (Navigator /
Registrar / Code host / ...). Cards sit in a center-right column that
stops before the right edge, giving the left column breathing room.
- Your-links on the left is free-drag, OS-desktop style. Each icon
stores x,y and snaps to a 20px grid; dragging an icon moves it live
while the grid faintly shows underneath. The schema gains x,y on
Your-links items — unchanged for Silent Mode cards. Legacy icons
without x,y auto-layout in a tidy 2-column grid near the top.
Compass mark replaces the chain emoji in the hero. The on-disk schema
nudges to v4; v3 and v1 reads still migrate (missing x,y get an
auto-layout fallback at render time).
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.
