Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.
a75707d0ed
alert / confirm / prompt from a page came up as bare OS message boxes titled "theseus-navigator" (the package name), with no hint of who was asking and nothing of the browser's styling — the PDF Editor's "Delete signature?" was the reported case. The session preload replaces the page's three functions with wrappers that hand the call to the isolated world through a DOM event, which asks main synchronously and writes the answer back; pages see Chrome's return values (confirm → boolean, prompt → string or null) and no new global. Main answers from a sheet hanging under the toolbar, in the same surface as add-on approvals, that names who is asking: the site's host, the add-on's name for an add-on page or panel (identified by its path under the profile's extensions directory), or Theseus for its own pages. The sheet belongs to the tab that asked — hidden while another tab is in front, back when its tab returns — and a closing tab or window answers "cancel" so no renderer stays blocked. Windows without the chrome (installed apps, plain windows) get a native box with a proper title, and app.name now reads "Theseus Navigator" for whatever else still shows one. |

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.
