Theseus Navigator — Silent Mode's Electron browser with the Ariadne resolver built in.

Adds a new "context-menu-item" capability. Add-ons declare a
"context-menu-items" array in their manifest:
{
"capabilities": ["context-menu-item", ...],
"context-menu-items": [
{ "id": "translate-selection", "label": "Translate selection",
"when": "selectionText", "icon": "🌐" }
]
}
The `when` filter is one of selectionText | linkURL | editable | image
| always. Right-click on a page, and items whose `when` matches the
current context get merged into the native menu after the built-in
Search-for entry, before Back/Forward/Reload. Both context-menu
handlers (main tab area + detached link windows) share the same
merging logic.
Picking an item dispatches "context-menu" to the add-on's onMessage
handler with the full context (selectionText, linkURL, mediaType,
srcURL, pageURL, host). The add-on decides what to do — the
translate add-on stashes the selection to storage and calls
api.revealSidebar("main") which surfaces its own sidebar panel.
api.revealSidebar(panelId) is the paired hook. Ownership is enforced
by the host — an add-on can only reveal panels it registered —
before routing to main's setSidebar path.
Unknown capabilities were already silently dropped by
validateManifest, so older Theseus builds that don't understand
"context-menu-item" just ignore it, and the manifest still loads.
Add-ons that also declare "sidebar-panel" keep working; the new
capability doesn't require it.
This is the wiring that pairs with the translate/ add-on landed in
4498fbb — right-click "Translate selection" is live once this ships.

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
