Local Dev f19ca20ec1 Ship Theseus 0.0.6 b740cb03 (tab favicons + image menu + tab cursor)
Setup    b740cb033173622b192701ff36f20a97e357fedebf77c3c7ead03d113a9ac229
Portable 782a2ad235a4a1e1491df6a1d16c817fa8542e363e3c6b139c7e04f40846f4c2

New:
- Tabs carry the page favicon (page-favicon-updated -> emitTabs -> the
  chrome renders it in the same slot the loading spinner uses).
- Image right-click: Open image in new tab / Save image as... / Copy
  image / Copy image address. Save-image-as uses the existing
  will-download tracker, so it also shows in the downloads chip.
- Tab cursor: default arrow at rest instead of the always-'grab' hand.
  Grab only shows while a tab is being dragged for reorder.

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 HEAD 200 + manifest 0.0.6, VPS hashes match, tools page
  shows 0.0.6 buttons on silentmode.st AND silentmode.bch (Sia mirror).

The 0.0.5 update chip will surface 0.0.6 on existing installs at next
launch (6h manifest poll).

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.
