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

A .docx editor is easy to write badly: read the file into HTML, let someone edit it, write a fresh document back, and hand them a file that lost its headers, its page size and half its formatting without ever saying so. Three things keep this one honest. The reader doesn't use mammoth's HTML. mammoth's converter is deliberately semantic, and HTML has nowhere to put a run's colour or a paragraph's line spacing, so it drops them — and those are controls this editor puts in the ribbon. Taking its parsed document model instead means what the ribbon offers is what the file can actually carry. Six properties mammoth's model didn't keep are added by build-time patches, each asserting its anchor so an upgrade that moves the code fails the build rather than shipping a lossy reader. The writer rebuilds the body but carries the rest of the package across: headers, footers, footnotes, endnotes, the document's own style catalogue, its theme and its page setup, with relationship ids and content types re-wired. Word features the editor can't model are still lost, so they are detected when the file opens and named in a banner before anyone edits. Tracked changes get their own gate. mammoth renders insertions as ordinary text and drops deletions, so saving would accept every pending revision without Word ever asking. Such a document opens read-only until the user says that is what they want. Verified over 66 real documents: 65 round-trip with an identical model and a structurally valid package, the one exception being a 7 MB WMF picture, which no browser can display and the writer cannot emit. Also driven end to end through a real Theseus over CDP — sidebar, ribbon, typing, save, reopen. |

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
