Upstream declares its dsh-* siblings (dsh-attachment included) as
peerDependencies provided by the host bundle tree, so the host-side
mount is unaffected. The stale copies only surface in this repo's dev
tree, which installs a subset of the peers directly — making the
overrides a standing shim to extend on each baseline bump, not a
temporary patch awaiting an upstream fix.
Point-by-point audit of all 117 commits between alpha.2 and alpha.3:
every host contract this plugin relies on (token auth, slash RPC,
MarkdownText labels, the event-stream/persistence APIs behind
sidechat.events, SettingsNamespaceInput, SUBAGENT_DESCRIPTOR_VERSION
(still 3), dsh-client-store, the profile loader, the node-pty pin) is
unchanged, so no plugin code needed rewiring. alpha.3's breaking
changes (required BeginSubmissionInput.mode, the renamed
attachment-invalid subagent error, the removed SQLite persistence
backend, the identity-gated projection change feed) do not touch this
plugin.
What did need adapting was the dependency tree: the alpha.3 npm
artifacts ship with workspace-era metadata that does not match their
published code —
- dsh-subagent@0.1.2-alpha.3 imports `admitPromptContent` from
@deepseek-ai/dsh-attachment without declaring that dependency, so
resolution floats to a stale 0.1.1-rc.1 copy that lacks the export
(broke 5 test files at load time);
- six transitive peers (dsh-scope, dsh-session-projection,
dsh-system-prompt, dsh-user-approval, dsh-util-time, dsh-code-runtime)
drifted to pre-alpha.3 versions against the ^0.1.2-alpha.3 ranges the
alpha.3 packages declare;
- the alpha.3 line peers on @deepseek-ai/cordis ^4.0.2 (was ^4.0.1).
Fix: pin the seven stragglers via pnpm-workspace.yaml overrides (with
a note to drop them once upstream fixes its metadata), narrow the
cordis peer to ^4.0.2, and bump the baseline pins — CI mount gate,
dsh.plugin.json engines, peer/devDependencies, README badges, plus
SIDEBAR_SERVICE_VERSION in lockstep.
Verified on the npm-published @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.2-alpha.3:
typecheck clean, 107 test files / 1137 tests green, `pnpm peers check`
reports zero unmet peers, and the real-host mount smoke passes 14/14.
The main conversation's tool row head is a 16px leading slot with the
tool-kind glyph at 14 (GenericToolCard's variant table), swapped for an
error StateDot on failed rows. Mirror it: bash/pwsh -> IconApiOutline14,
read/web_fetch -> IconBrowseOutline16, edit/write -> IconEditOutline16,
grep/glob/web_search -> IconSearchOutline16, anything else ->
IconSparkle16, all from the ui-primitives module seed; CollapsibleRow
gains the matching icon slot. Thinking/injection rows keep their bare
chrome (the host's equivalents are a different row family).
Rendering-layer upgrade for the Side Chat transcript (data already rides
the raw events; the mapping just stopped discarding it):
- Tool rows with a derivable structure now render the host's
ui-primitives atoms instead of a generic double <pre>: bash calls map
onto TerminalBlock (command from call args, output + exit pill
recovered from the result's trailing exit marker), edit/write map onto
DiffBlock (call-time literal replacement, refined by the result meta's
contextual hunks), read maps onto ReadBlock (line-window meta, same
semantic narrowing the host applies). Every narrowing declines to the
generic row on malformed input.
- turn/end now emits a turnSummary row: token usage aggregated from
assistant/message.usage (output summed across steps, input from the
last request) plus the envelope-time wall duration, printed with the
main conversation's formatTokens/formatDurationMs cadence.
- The client entry injects 'connection' (DSH 0.1.2-alpha.2+) and the
thread view shows the host's ConnectionIndicator while the Remote
transport is down; the reconnect control calls reconnect() and a
disconnected -> connected transition pulls the transcript immediately
instead of waiting for the next poll tick.
19 new locale keys propagated across zh/en and all 19 third-language
dictionaries; unit coverage in sidechat-transcript.spec and a new
sidechat-view render spec (jsdom). Real-host mount smoke: 14/14.
DSH itself is still on its 0.1.2-alpha line (npm `alpha` dist-tag), so the
plugin mirrors it: v0.18.0-alpha.0 publishes under the npm `alpha`
dist-tag and supports DSH 0.1.2-alpha.x only. Stable-DSH (0.1.0-rc.8 ~
0.1.1-rc.2) users stay on v0.17.1 (npm `latest`). Verified end-to-end
against a real 0.1.2-alpha.2 host: full vitest suite, typecheck,
build/pack, consumer type surface, and the headless mount smoke 14/14
(the prerelease version also passes `dsh plugin add file:`).
- peer floor raised `^0.1.0-rc.8` -> `^0.1.2-alpha.2` (the mount install
no longer warns: the old floor could not semver-match a prerelease
host); dsh.plugin.json engines.dsh `>=0.1.2-alpha.2`.
- Dropped the pre-alpha compatibility layer:
- e2e host RPC collapsed from the dot/slash dual dialect to slash-only
(rpcAttempt; the 404-probe negotiation and its cache are gone), and
parseLaunchUrl now requires the ?token= launch URL;
- MarkdownText labels collapsed to the nested single shape (the cast
became unnecessary against the alpha.2 declarations);
- the defunct `@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime` row is gone from the
chunk externals allowlist (chunk-loader / tsdown / two specs) and
from dsh.client.inject.
- market-manifest guard now allows an exact prerelease version (alpha
cuts are not the market's verified `latest` target); release.yml picks
the npm dist-tag from the version (prerelease -> `alpha`, else
`latest`) so an alpha can never hijack `latest`.
- Docs retargeted: AGENTS.md §2/§3, README/README_EN badges + v0.18.0
-alpha.0 section + install note (`dsh-better-sidebar@alpha`), guide.
DSH 0.1.2-alpha.2 is on npm under the `alpha` dist-tag, so the CI mount
pin and the @deepseek-ai/* devDependencies baseline move up from
0.1.1-rc.1/rc.2 (the dead dsh-client-runtime devDep goes away with
them). Verified end-to-end against a real 0.1.2-alpha.2 host: full
vitest suite (1106), typecheck, build/pack, consumer type surface, and
the headless mount smoke 14/14 — the token URL, slash RPC and
MarkdownText labels contracts are unchanged from alpha.1.
- dsh-settings dropped the runtime `settingsNamespace` export:
namespaces are validated at compile time (SettingsNamespaceInput), so
the host passes the 'dsh-better-sidebar' constant directly and the
fake settings service in smoke.spec casts to the branded type.
- dsh-subagent bumped SUBAGENT_DESCRIPTOR_VERSION 2 -> 3: the version is
stamped by the host package; the sidechat seed assertion now follows
the constant instead of pinning a literal.
- Restored SessionEvent.ignorable and the RemoteError wrapping were
verified to have no impact on this plugin.
- e2e scratch profiles (e2e-mount.sh / e2e-aggregate-mount.sh) add
'@deepseek-ai/*' to minimumReleaseAgeExclude (mirroring the repo
root): alpha releases are often <24h old when the lane runs, which
pnpm 11's default minimumReleaseAge would refuse to install.
- vitest excludes .worktrees/** — local task worktrees carried stale
code against the shared node_modules and broke on the devDeps bump.
- Version lockstep 0.17.2 (package.json, dsh.plugin.json,
SIDEBAR_SERVICE_VERSION, README/AGENTS/guide docs).
DSH 0.1.2-alpha.1 removed the client `ctx.connection.api` face (Remote
gateway migration), so every Side Chat transcript poll (`sessions.history`)
threw TypeError into the view's catch and was swallowed — the tab rendered
an empty transcript forever, silently (no console error, so the mount lane
never caught it). The successor APIs are not a drop-in either:
session/follow|page reject plain session addresses for origin:'subagent'
logs (agent-busy fence) and paging cannot read past the current cursor.
Move the transcript to the plugin's own wire — one transport for every
DSH generation:
- new `sidechat.events` route: live threads read the in-memory
`agent.session.events`; cold threads read `sessionPersistence.inspect`
(both seams exist since 0.1.0-rc.8; alpha.1's inspect returns the
expanded logical log, never the packed chunk-row encoding). The
inherited seed is cut host-side (`threadOwnLogEvents`), polls ride an
`afterSeq` delta, and the response is tail-capped at 8000 events (the
old client walk ceiling).
- SideChatView.fetchThread is single-path; collectOwnEvents (the client
walk) is gone, and so are the ctx.connection mirror and inject entry
(no consumer left).
- transcriptRows keeps re-cutting at session/end-seed as defense in
depth.
Verification:
- unit: sidechat.events route (seed cut, afterSeq delta + never
resurrecting the seed, cap, cold/live sources, 404/503/bad-request),
full suite 1104 passed; typecheck and build (purity gate) green.
- mount e2e vs a real dsh-v0.1.2-alpha.1 source build: 14/14, including
the Side Chat tab sweep polling sidechat.events (performance resource
assertion) and live + post-dispose (persisted) route reads.
- mount e2e vs PATH dsh 0.1.0-rc.8: 14/14 (no regression).
Registers dsh-bilingual-reader in the better-sidebar add-tab-plugin catalog:
native-PDF reading with LLM selection translation, isolated from the main
conversation. Adds the catalog entry plus pluginBilingualReaderDesc across
all 20 locale dictionaries (zh/en source + 18 mirrors).
- New persisted built-in pref workspaceFence (default true) under the
files card's secondary settings modal; host reads it per request via
the settings seam (fenceEnabledOf — absent/malformed stays ON).
- ensureWorkspacePath/ensureWorkspaceWritePath gain a fence param:
disarmed skips the containment assert but keeps realpath resolution;
wired through fs.tree/fs.read/fs.write, the media + html routes, and
the upload path (writeWorkspaceUpload fence input).
- Editor load failures and file-tree level errors show the localized
reason plus a one-click global off (FenceErrorNotice) that flips the
pref, adopts it into the store, and auto-retries the failed operation
(reloadSeq / retryDir) — the raw wire text is never shown.
- GitView's two client-side pre-checks (hidden open action + no-op
defense) respect the pref; store threaded through TreePanel/FileTree.
- i18n: 4 new keys across all 21 dictionaries; tests: fence-off route
coverage, prefs parsing, schema default, editor toggles list;
docs: guide §8/§8.1 + plans/2026-08-29 design record.
The reveal tint now uses the DSH business-blue surface
(--dsw-alias-state-business-tertiary, the same source the host's nav
items use for their active accent, skin-aware) instead of a neutral
accent wash, and drops the 2px left bar. Consecutive revealed rows
square off their touching edges (sibling combinator + :has), so a
multi-file highlight renders as ONE rounded block — per-row radius
notches no longer fragment it; a solo row keeps the full radius.
A reveal on a deep tree shifted the whole panel (tab bar included) out
of the viewport: the reveal used native scrollIntoView, which scrolls
every scrollable ancestor, and the fixed panel host
([data-dsh-panel-host], overflow hidden) is still a programmatically
scrollable container — the host scrolled instead of (or besides) the
tree, with no way to scroll back. Reported on DSH 0.1.2-alpha.1.
Two layers:
- FileTree: compute the centered, clamped target and scrollTo the tree
body only; scrollIntoView is never called.
- panel host: overflow hidden -> clip. A hidden box remains
programmatically scrollable; clip keeps the same viewport-edge
clipping (collapsed panels sliding off-screen) while making the host
impossible to scroll, killing the whole leak class (md-toc jumps,
future consumer scrollIntoView calls).
AGENTS.md (546 -> 63 lines) now carries only project-global development
rules: hard constraints, mount-smoke CI, DSH 0.1.2-alpha.1 adaptation
notes, npm release, a quick-rule list, and a docs/tests map. The
consumer plugin API reference lives solely in
docs/external-plugin-guide.md.
Reference sync:
- README/README_EN: collapse the dual 'full integration docs' links to
the guide; AGENTS.md stays linked as the repo rules
- shell-presets.ts / mount.e2e.ts comments: skinning contract pointer
moved from AGENTS.md §8 to guide §12
Absorb the consumer-facing API reference previously duplicated in
AGENTS.md and refresh stale content to v0.17.1:
- TabDescriptor: full SettingRow shape (select/multi, v0.13.0+),
urlTarget, richer dedupeKey/available/createTab semantics
- built-in tab table: replace stale explorer-based list with current
editor/sidechat/pinned-terminal reality
- service: features list completed (urlTarget/settingSelect/
floatWindows), OpenTabSeed meta null/undefined semantics, openFile
path-derived-id caveat
- settings: full built-in prefs key list, select rows
- new sections: float windows (§11) and the token-driven skinning
contract (§12, moved from AGENTS.md §8)
- traps: aionui right-panel mutex, i18n/better-locale, lazy chunks
- minimal example: drop removed @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime peer
- references: 9-viewer typo fixed, plugins catalog / fs-search /
markdown-html / agent-opens entries added
- fix duplicated §11 heading; sections now run §1-§15
Dual-version compatibility: the plugin now works identically on
0.1.0-rc.8 ~ 0.1.1-rc.2 and 0.1.2-alpha.1 (the latter verified against a
source build of the dsh-v0.1.2-alpha.1 tag: mount smoke 14/14 + aggregate
double-mount; 0.1.1-rc.2 re-verified 14/14).
- MarkdownText: alpha.1 renamed the flat optional `codeLabels` prop to a
required nested `labels: { code: {copyLabel, copiedLabel}, footnotes }`;
the old prop alone crashes fence rendering with "reading 'code'". All
four render sites (mermaid / MarkdownHtml / TextEditor / SideChatView)
now go through src/client/markdown-labels.tsx (dual-shape object passed
under both prop names).
- e2e mount lanes speak both host dialects (tests/e2e/host-protocol.ts +
host.ts, unit-locked by tests/e2e-host-protocol.spec.ts):
- one-time-token browser auth: the launch URL grep extends past the
`/?token=` query (truncating at `/` loses the token), goto navigates
the token URL (browser cookie exchange), and stamped navigations
pre-seed the context cookie via addCookies — the exchange 303 drops
sibling query params;
- Remote gateway: dot endpoints first, slash endpoints on 404 fallback,
with args keyed by the controller parameter name (workspace/create ->
{request}, session/list -> {_request}; verified on a live host).
- package.json: drop the @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime peer (package
removed upstream in alpha.1; zero references in the source — the chunk
externals entry stays and is resolution-tolerant).
- scripts/e2e-mount.sh: fix a latent set -u crash in the npx fallback
branch ($DSH_CMD followed by a full-width comma parsed as part of the
variable name).
- CI pin stays at @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.1-rc.2 until alpha.1 publishes to
npm (comment updated); README/AGENTS document the new contracts.
- Version lockstep bumped to 0.17.1.
