Chromium's default 'This site can't be reached' replaced with a Theseus-
themed error page. did-fail-load on every tab's webContents (main frame
only, non-ignorable code) routes the tab to error.html with the
attempt URL, host, error code, and description as query params. The
page keeps t.url pointing at the failed URL so the address bar shows
what the user typed and they can edit + retry - refreshTabUrl's
existing file:// skip means the error page's own path never leaks
back into the bar.
Five kinds, chosen by pickErrorKind(code, host):
name-not-registered BCNR-eligible host + ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED.
Says "no BCDN record on chain, no clearnet host
either." Offers Register on Sirius + Search +
Retry + Home.
name-unreachable ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED on a non-BCNR host. DNS
failed - offers Retry + Search + Register +
Home.
unreachable CONN_REFUSED/RESET/TIMED_OUT/CLOSED/NETWORK_CHANGED.
Offers Retry + Tor guide + Home.
tls ERR_CERT_* range (-200..-299). Offers Retry +
Home.
generic Everything else.
home-preload.js gains `window.errorpage` alongside `window.home`. Both
APIs are sender-URL-gated in main - a random page seeing the shape
can't invoke them (isErrorPageSender / isHomePageSender). The external-
open handler additionally allowlists Silent Mode domains only.
package.json build.files gets error.html + error-preload.js so
electron-builder actually bundles them (GOTCHAS rule: an unlisted
runtime-loaded file silently opens blank).
Ship pages (releases-manifest.json, tools/index.html, releases/index.html,
site-theseus-x/index.html) updated to 0.1.3 with the new hashes.
DEPLOY STATUS - blocked on VPS SSH: my IP was hit with a full-port ban
mid-turn (likely fail2ban from the burst of scp during the 0.1.0-0.1.2
iterations). Site pages/manifest/installers are committed locally but
NOT yet on dl.silentmode.st or the Sia mirror. Live still reads 0.1.2.
User needs to unban 195.184.247.106 on their end, or wait for the ban
to expire, before the ship pages match reality.

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
