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

Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+M -> Ctrl+Shift+E. Chrome owns Ctrl+Shift+M as
'switch profile' and E matches the Greek spelling (Ermis).
Sidebar discoverability: new bundled add-on at bundled-addons/hermes/
registers a left-strip icon + launcher panel. The panel is a thin chrome
(mark + 'Open Messages' + shortcut hint) that forwards clicks through
api.onMessage -> ipcMain.emit('hermes-open-request') -> openHermesWindow.
All real messaging code stays in main.js — add-on is purely for discovery.
Address book: opt-in vCard (.vcf) import. Dialog in the Add Contact modal
lets the user pick a file; main.js parses BEGIN:VCARD blocks for X-BNS-NAME
/ X-NOSTR-NPUB / X-NOSTR-PUBKEY plus .bch names and npubs mentioned in
NOTE fields. Candidates are previewed per-contact with checkboxes; nothing
is added until the user confirms. Non-matching vCards are returned too (so
the user can still add manually) rather than silently dropped. Nothing is
uploaded; parsing is local.
site/hermes: status badge flipped from 'designed - not yet built' to
'MVP - desktop'. New 'What ships today' grid covers threaded chat, send by
name, address book, local history (all live) and mobile + Tor (next /
planned). Hero carries the new Ctrl+Shift+E shortcut and a link to
/hermes/branding.
site/hermes/branding: new page. Mark SVG (winged envelope, two variants
for 16-20px and 24-160px display sizes), palette (reuses Silent Mode
tokens + an amber accent that's distinctly warm-yellow, not Hermes-orange
— so it never collides with Hermès the fashion house), name explanation
(English Hermes / Greek Ermis), voice notes, do/don't table, MPL-2.0
attribution.
Hermes/MOBILE-RECOMMENDATION.md: analysis of three mobile paths (inside
Ariadne / standalone / hybrid). Recommendation is Option 1: ship as a
screen inside Ariadne. Reuses the wallet seed, aligns with the design
doc's 'one seed many purposes' architecture, lowest total cost.

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
BUILD-ROADMAP.md Stage 5.
