Until now "editing" a PDF here meant laying things over it. You could put a word on top of a word, but the document underneath never changed, and the result read like a sticker because it was one. This adds the thing the word Edit actually promises: click a line of the document's text, type different words, and they land where the old ones were, in the old size and the old colour. The position and size come from pdf.js's text layer, which has already placed a span over every run and carries that run's size in unscaled PDF points — so the size is right whatever the zoom, which reading it off the rendered box would not be. The colours come from the rendered page, because nothing in the text API reports them: the background is the average of the most common colour bucket in the run's box, since type is a minority of the pixels even when it is dense, and the ink is whatever sits furthest from that background. On the test fixture it recovers the marker's red exactly. Two things that look like details and are not. The bucket only chooses WHICH pixels are background; the colour itself is their average, because rebuilding it from the bucket index rounds white down to #f8f8f8 and a not-quite-white patch on a white page is a visible seam. And the cover reaches below the baseline by a quarter of the font size, because pdf.js sizes its spans to the em box: cut the cover to the span and every descender in the original line survives as a little hook under the replacement. A replacement is a cover plus text, so it is a mark like any other — movable, resizable, undoable, and rendered on screen from the same numbers the writer uses, which is what makes the preview trustworthy. Said plainly in the dialog and again in the save summary: this hides the original, it does not remove it. The old glyphs are still in the content stream underneath. Redact is the tool that takes text away, and it says so too. |

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
BUILD-ROADMAP.md Stage 5.
