- Accept NSIDs, `at://` lexicon records, and HTTPS URLs in an address bar.
91
91
- Parse NSIDs into domain authority, authority domain, name segment, and optional
92
92
fragment.
93
-
- Vendor a small explicit snapshot of common `app.bsky.*` and `com.atproto.*`
94
-
lexicons for instant/offline display.
95
-
- Label vendored schemas as local snapshots with source and snapshot metadata; do not
96
-
present them as canonical truth.
97
93
- For live lookup, resolve the NSID authority domain through DNS from the browser,
98
94
likely via DNS-over-HTTPS rather than a backend resolver.
99
-
- Prefer DNS records that explicitly advertise a Lexicon document URL or lexicon
100
-
service endpoint for the authority domain.
95
+
- Use the goat/Indigo Lexicon publication convention: read `did=...` TXT records
96
+
from the NSID authority domain.

97
- Show a resolution trace with each attempted DNS name, record type, answer, fetch URL,
102
98
status, and error details.
103

- Display Lexicon JSON and a readable schema view with definitions, primary type,
104
100
required fields, refs, unions, known values, and descriptions.
105
101
- Link gedit Schema tabs and Nautilus collection schema actions into the matching
106
102
browser view.
107
-
- Keep lookup public/read-only and browser-only; do not add a backend resolver
103
+
- Keep lookup public/read-only.
108
104
- Make unsupported NSIDs clear: ATProto does not define universal automated NSID
109
105
schema fetching or enumeration.
