Six user-visible improvements + supporting infra, all uncommitted from
the earlier session-in-progress state. Ships together in one release.
Chrome / tabs
- Same-size tabs: flex 1 1 0 with max 200px, min 60px. Container gets
overflow: hidden so many tabs shrink evenly instead of scrolling out.
- Drag-and-drop tab reordering. HTML5 drag events on each .tab; drop
side chosen by pointer x within target (Chrome UX). New move-tab IPC
splices the tabs array + re-emits.
Address bar
- Persistent history at userData/history.json capped at 500 LRU. Ranked
by host-prefix > url-prefix > contains > title-contains > recency.
- Floating suggestions dropdown (addressPicker WebContentsView) anchored
under the URL bar. Debounced 80ms input; ArrowUp/Down forward to the
picker via address-cursor IPC; Enter fires goURL; blur closes after
160ms so click-through registers. New files address-picker.html +
address-picker-preload.js. Cleared by existing clearHistoryOnQuit.
Password autofill (A.2 MVP)
- Green key chip in the address bar appears when the vault is UNLOCKED
and the active tab's host has matching credentials (exact hostname
match for phase 1; eTLD+1 upgrade queued as A.2.5).
- Click chip → floating picker of usernames. Click a match → main.js
runs a small script in the active tab: finds first visible
input[type=password]:not([disabled]), walks the same form for a
visible text/email/tel/url/search input whose name/id/autocomplete
matches /username|user|email|login|account|id/, fills both via the
native value setter + dispatches input/change so React/Vue-controlled
inputs update. New files pw-fill.html + pw-fill-preload.js.
- emitPwAvailability fires from pushNav + vault setup/unlock/lock so
the chip's visibility + count stays accurate.
Bookmarks bar
- Right-click context menu on the favorites bar. On empty area:
"Add current page" (or "Remove current page" if already saved). On a
specific bookmark: "Open", "Edit title…" (prompt), "Remove", plus
the add/remove-current entry. Uses a shared .ctxmenu style mirroring
the settings ctxmenu (dark/light aware).
- Empty-state text updated to mention right-click.
Home page
- Larger responsive card grid: auto-fill minmax(260-280px, 1fr) with
breakpoints at 600/900/1200. Cards have a subtitle line, a colored
badge (on-chain / Sia / server / custom), and edit affordances that
reveal only in Edit mode.
- User-editable set: Edit toggle reveals per-card ✎/✕ + a dashed "+ Add
card" tile. Modal for add/edit with title / URL / subtitle / badge.
Reset-to-defaults button.
- Persisted at userData/home-cards.json. New home-preload.js exposes
window.home = { getCards, setCards, resetCards, navigate }. IPC
handlers in main.js validate sender.getURL() matches our own
home.html — third-party pages see the API shape via the preload but
can't act on the user's local cards.
- Fallback set of 2 cards renders when window.home is unavailable
(e.g. opening home.html directly outside Electron for preview) so
the grid is never blank.
Docs
- TheseusNavigator/ROADMAP-identity-wallet.md — the phased plan for
the two independent strands (password manager A.2/3, browser wallet
B.1-6). Committed earlier this session; re-listed here for context.
- TheseusNavigator/SESSION-PROMPT-identity-wallet.md — pastable
kickoff for the next session picking up either strand.
Files added to build.files: address-picker.html,
address-picker-preload.js, pw-fill.html, pw-fill-preload.js,
home-preload.js.

Session kickoff — identity + wallet work
Paste the block below into a fresh Claude Code session started in
D:\Dev\SilentMode. Zero prior context needed.
You are picking up identity + wallet work on Silent Mode's Theseus Navigator — the Electron browser with in-process BCNR resolution. Two independent strands: password manager (phase 1 shipped, needs autofill + Sia sync next) and browser-integrated BCH wallet (design
- scaffold, then permissioned APIs). Both derive from the same BCH-style seed via distinct hardened purpose subtrees.
Read these first, in order, before touching anything:
HANDOFF.md— session hand-off protocol + subproject index. Learn thePENDING.mdper-subproject convention, the session-naming rule, and coordination guidance for concurrent sessions.TheseusNavigator/README.md— scope + status of the browser.TheseusNavigator/PENDING.md— current uncommitted work, grouped by session. Read the other session's group FIRST so you don't stomp.TheseusNavigator/GOTCHAS.md— non-obvious traps (build.files, admin-terminal-for-first-build, native-select popup theme, DNS hosts-pin for Sia upload, etc.). Save yourself an hour.TheseusNavigator/ROADMAP-identity-wallet.md— the full roadmap for both strands, sorted into small deliverables.TheseusNavigator/DESIGN-password-manager.md— the crypto discipline- threat model. Any new derivation MUST reuse the "purpose subtree" pattern documented there.
- If you'll touch the wallet strand: read
Argus/src/lib/register-tx.js+Argus/src/lib/wallet-web.jsto see how the existing signing works, andsite/register.htmlfor how the built-in wallet UI is currently invoked from a page. SESSION-CONTEXT.md— the product context (BCNR terminology, resolver rules, hosting model, on-chain invariants).
What is already shipped (Theseus 0.0.3, 9c09955e…):
- Password vault + deterministic derivation (
Argus/src/lib/password-vault.js, 12 tests passing). - Settings > Passwords section: setup / locked / unlocked panels; add, reveal, copy, delete entries. No autofill yet — users copy from Settings and paste into sites.
- Everything from earlier UX rounds: shield security badge, three-tier engine catalog, download tracker, cache/history storage settings, fingerprint spoofing selects, theme cards.
What has NOT been designed yet — flag these decisions before starting:
- Wallet strand's permission model + API surface. Write
TheseusNavigator/DESIGN-integrated-wallet.mdbefore B.2+ code. - The autofill contentScript's origin-binding rule details (eTLD+1 via public-suffix list — bundle the snapshot; do not fetch at runtime).
- Sia sync UX (user's own credentials vs operator relay). Design in the A.3 write-up before code.
Coordination:
- A parallel session (labeled
parallel:*in PENDING.md) has been very active in this repo — mobile Ariadne, VPS infrastructure, docs, and frequent snapshot commits. Look atgit log --oneline -20before touching a file to know if it recently changed. Commit small and often so your working tree isn't a shared bucket. - Use session label
YYYY-MM-DD:identity-walletinPENDING.mdfor anything you leave uncommitted. - Deploys are one-at-a-time. Check
PENDING.mdbefore starting one.
Ship discipline (from HANDOFF.md and GOTCHAS.md):
- Every new
WebContentsVieworloadFile— add the target file toTheseusNavigator/package.jsonbuild.files. Verify present indist-public/win-unpacked/resources/app.asarafter build (there's a one-liner probe inGOTCHAS.md). - Build: from
TheseusNavigator/,SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=<epoch> CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false npm run dist. Admin terminal only the first time on a fresh machine (winCodeSign symlinks). - Ship sequence: backup live to
/opt/silent-mode/dl/_prev/, scp new.exes + manifest,node Argus/src/lib/sia-upload.js ../site bns/silentmode. Rollback commands documented inPENDING.mdunder "Last shipment". - On-chain
releases.silentmode.bchpublishes the manifest URL, not fixed hashes — you don't need a wallet spend to make new hashes reachable via BCNR unless the URL itself changes.
Where to start (pick one, in order of user demand):
- A.2 — password autofill. The user-visible next step. Small enough
to ship in one round. Users are currently copying passwords from
Settings; autofill removes that friction. Design detail is in
ROADMAP-identity-wallet.md. - B.1 — wallet design doc. No code yet. Write
DESIGN-integrated-wallet.md, get user alignment on the permission model, then B.2 (injection scaffold + read-only APIs). - A.3 — Sia backup. Small feature, unlocks cross-device story. Blocks on user picking "own creds vs operator relay" default.
Then tell me what you want to do. If unspecified, start with A.2 (autofill) — it's the highest-leverage next step in Strand A and the crypto foundation is already tested + shipped.
Conventions:
- Prefix shell commands with
rtk(user convention, see~/.claude/CLAUDE.md). - Windows + PowerShell primary; Bash tool available for POSIX.
- Chipnet only unless explicitly directed to touch mainnet.
- Never ship secrets (
Argus/wallets.json,sia-s3.json,ca/root-ca.key). The build enforces this; don't weaken the check. - Never put the operator's name or email in any file.
- Recovery phrases, elevated steps, captchas, and on-chain wallet spends are the user's to perform — hand off with exact commands.
