Setup 5452a34f211176cf04b7ea77a70fb838f0031b6ea0faed2cd270eae989b20c60
Portable ee602a016caf022452b2096ca683cf4bb4cea93ded1352192910c581a962d9ae
Version bumped 0.0.8 -> 0.0.9 because the prior 0.0.7 and 0.0.8
"Ship ..." commits (f464de6, 1a3b232, ed9ec18) never actually
deployed - the live manifest at dl.silentmode.st still served 0.0.6
until this commit. Bumping the number preserves version->hash 1:1:
this 0.0.9 is the FIRST post-0.0.6 binary that ever went public.
Cumulative content:
- 0.0.7 warm-start from bundled BNS snapshot + 30-s background delta
refresh + Sia snapshot pull on boot (first .bch page opens
near-instantly, index stays fresh while browser runs).
- 0.0.8 window.bcnr read-only dApp API on every page (resolveName,
isRegistered, getBcnrTlds, getRecordVersion). Permission
origins now scope to eTLD+1 via the Public Suffix List
(same rule Chromium uses for cookies/storage).
- 0.0.9 Address-picker paints the picked URL in the address bar
immediately (was leaving the typed prefix while the target
loaded). Reload keys wired end-to-end: F5 / Ctrl+R soft,
Ctrl+Shift+R / Ctrl+F5 hard, Shift-click the toolbar reload
does hard too.
Deployed:
- scp installers + releases-manifest.json to /opt/silent-mode/dl/
- scp tools/ + releases/ index pages to /opt/silent-mode/site/
- sia-upload of ../site to bns/silentmode/
- verified: dl.silentmode.st HEAD 200 on the installer, manifest
reports 0.0.9 2026-08-31, VPS hashes match, both silentmode.st and
silentmode.bch tools pages show 0.0.9 buttons.
Existing 0.0.6 installs will surface the update chip on next launch.

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.
