Local Dev 9d966fe354 fix(theseus/chrome): remove body height:100vh — the actual gap-growth root cause
The 750ms self-heal (b9d70e4) was a bandage. Real root cause: body had
height:100vh, so document.body.scrollHeight always equalled the chrome
view's current height (which IS the viewport). Once a menu grew chrome
via growChromeForMenu, syncHeight measured the inflated body and re-sent
the same big number — CHROME_H never shrank back.

Fix: drop height:100vh so body sizes to its content. scrollHeight becomes
the natural chrome height, and menu-close paths correctly report a value
smaller than the current CHROME_H. The self-heal stays in as insurance
for any future overlay that bypasses closeAllMenus.

Bar layout unchanged — every bar has an intrinsic height (.tabs 34px,
.bookmarks 26px, .bar auto), so body flow reflects them naturally.
overflow:hidden stays to clip any pathological overflow.

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 .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.
