Four independent pieces of one story — make cold-start .bch resolution fast,
survive individual electrum outages, and turn adding a Silent Mode BNS server
into a checklist run.
* Argus/src/lib/snapshot-name.js — pure, interpretation-free snapshot format
for the name beacon (raw history + verbose tx cache + deterministic root).
* Argus/src/publish-name-mirror.mjs — mirror the snapshot to Sia S3
(floating + content-addressed) and Nostr NIP-33 (kind 30078,
d-tag bns-name-list). Same pattern as publish-tld-mirror.mjs.
* Argus/src/snapshot-name-to-file.mjs — dump the snapshot to a file for
bundling. Writes to TheseusNavigator/snapshots/bns-name-snapshot.json.
* Argus/src/lib/resolver-web.js — new export buildIndexFromSnapshot() runs
the same REG/UPD reduction as buildIndex() but from a pre-fetched snapshot,
no electrum required. Warm-start path in Theseus depends on this.
* TheseusNavigator/main.js — warmFromSnapshot() and refreshSnapshotFromSia()
wired into app.whenReady(). First .bch navigation returns from a warm index
instead of waiting on a full electrum walk.
* TheseusNavigator/package.json — bundles the starter snapshot as an
extraResource so packaged builds ship with a floor.
* TheseusNavigator/snapshots/bns-name-snapshot.json — first starter snapshot
(70 beacon txs, root 8cc859aa…).
* VPS/BNS-SERVER-PLAYBOOK.md — turn-key checklist for spinning up a second
or third Silent Mode BNS server, distilled from what actually worked on
the silentmode box (BCHN 29 [chip]-not-[chipnet], multi-beacon indexer,
wss:// nginx, on-chain publish via electrum.bch, common gotchas table).
* Argus/src/register-electrum-list.mjs — publish the current chipnet
server pool as `el` on electrum.bch. Fits inside the 200-byte OP_RETURN
cap by sizing the record (drops fallback IP pins in favour of URL-only
tokens until they fit). NAME was chosen deliberately: two-part `electrum.bch`
normalises to the bare distinct name `electrum`, whereas the earlier
candidate `electrum.silentmode.bch` collapsed to silentmode.bch and would
have inherited/overwritten that name's records.
* Argus/src/revert-silentmode-bch.mjs — one-off recovery from the earlier
register-electrum-list revision that hit exactly that subdomain-collapse
bug (broadcast an UPD to silentmode.bch and clobbered its s3 record).
Records recovered from the local snapshot cache; safe to leave in the
tree as documentation of what happened.
