Nothing handled HTML fullscreen. Electron put the window in fullscreen for a
page (a video player) with the toolbar still on top, and when the page left
fullscreen while its tab was hidden, or the tab was switched away from or
closed, the window stayed fullscreen: no title-bar buttons, the taskbar
covered, and no key to get out. Tabs now report entering and leaving
fullscreen; the toolbar and sidebar make way for the page; switching or
closing the tab ends it and tells the page; F11 toggles a fullscreen with
the toolbar kept and doubles as the way out. A page's own exit is left to
Electron, which has already taken the window out by the time it tells us;
exiting again during that transition brought the window back maximized.
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.
