Local Dev e36d2b361c feat(theseus/toolbar): Firefox-style single drag handle, zero-sum URL/search ratio
The two independent drag handles (right edge of URL bar, left edge of
search bar) are replaced with ONE handle sitting between them, wrapped
in a new .urlsearch flex container that owns the URL-bar-plus-search-bar
budget between the nav buttons on the left and the trailing dock on the
right.

Zero-sum semantics: dragging the handle right grows the URL bar and
shrinks the search bar; dragging left inverts. Nothing else in the
toolbar moves — nav buttons, Downloads, extension dock and the
⛓ Theseus logo all sit outside .urlsearch's flex parent.

When the window shrinks below the responsive breakpoint the search
bar (and the drag handle) hide as before, and the URL bar grows to
fill the .urlsearch budget on its own (added flex: 1 1 auto in the
data-responsive rules for .urlwrap).

Verified static rendering: url=700px → search=157px, url=300px →
search=539px, url=default → 60/40 split, narrow window → search
hidden and url fills.

Old settings (urlBarSize / searchBoxSize / searchBoxWidthPx) are
ignored by chrome.html but kept in main's SETTINGS_DEFAULTS so an
older chrome.html could still read them on a downgrade. Only
urlBarWidthPx is used going forward.

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 .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.
