Two follow-ups on 0.8.0's currency picker after a testing pass:
- The network label was a tiny gray suffix next to the wallet name in
the header, so "which network am I on" wasn't obvious at a glance.
Now it's a separate row of one clickable chip under the coin ticker;
clicking jumps into the browse:chain view where the network strip
actually switches network.
- Clicking the header opened a "Pick a coin" pane that only listed
coins the user already had a wallet for — a first-time user with a
single BCH wallet would see one row and no way to add more. Now it
shows every supported coin behind a search box; owned coins jump to
the wallet list, unowned coins jump straight into the create-wallet
flow with that coin's network group pre-expanded.
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.
