The fork was pinned at upstream v0.18.0. That is the entire reason the window
ran TWO sidebars and TWO near-identical panel toggles: DSH 2.0.10 ships its own
right sidebar (@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-sidebar-right), and upstream only
adopted it in v0.19.0-alpha.1 — which arrived after our fork point. v0.19.1 is
also the one upstream line whose support range actually matches our host
(engines.dsh >=0.1.5-rc.1, 14 DSH peers ^0.1.5-rc.1, host = 0.1.5-rc.2), so it
is the only tag the host's startup precheck accepts.
What upstream v0.18.0 → v0.19.1 brings
- src/client/native/{index,surface,tab-adapter}.tsx: every tab the plugin can
draw becomes an OFFICIAL native tab type + body, and an external plugin's
descriptor registered later gets its native type too. This is what retires
the fork's own right panel — and with it the duplicate toggle cluster
(`toggleCluster` is gone from v0.19.1).
- native tab-chip icons via the `sidebar.right.pane.tab.title` seat, coloured
built-in tab icons, file/folder glyphs from DSH's own `FileTypeIcon`.
- guide descriptions (DSH renders them while the guide lists <= 4 entries),
tab bodies that fill the panel, and the 0.1.5-rc.2 adaptation work we were
carrying by hand (peer/devDep pinning, primitives' transitive devDeps).
How the sync was done
Rebuilt the tree from the v0.19.1 tag rather than resolving 53 conflicted
files: our v0.18.0 delta was measured first and is only (a) one mechanical
rename `dsh-better-sidebar` -> `dsh-apes-sidebar` and (b) ten real edits. So:
tag tree + rename (scoped: code/config/scripts/tests/README, while the 46
historical docs/plans records and switch.sh's upstream package name stay
untouched) + re-applied deltas + our apes module.
Fork deltas re-applied on the new base
- src/client/apes/ (icons / locales / tabs): the three apes:* information-layer
tabs (agents / apps / profile), registered through the same BetterSidebarService
as the builtins — which is exactly why they now ride upstream's native adapter
into the official sidebar for free.
- identity: package.json (name/version 1.2.0/description/forkedFrom), dsh.plugin.json
(id/version), SIDEBAR_SERVICE_VERSION 1.2.0, README fork notice,
docs/external-plugin-guide.md.
- scripts/switch.sh + the pnpm switch* scripts (apes <-> upstream two-line switch).
- tests/apes-tabs.spec.ts (unescaped: it starts from the v0.19.1 base).
Dropped
- the Phase A native-registration spike (`apes/native-tabs.tsx` + its spec): it
re-derived by hand exactly what upstream's native layer already does — the
hand-written bridge is dead weight now, and v0.19.1's own e2e/jsdom lanes
cover the same seat contract far better.
- the unused apesProfileGuideDesc key and the two package.json.bak.* backups.
Verified on the new base: typecheck clean; build clean; 1351 passed / 9 skipped
(128 files), up from 1255 on the old base.
Conflict: src/client/sidebar/use-host-feeds.ts
- ours: import { mirrorAgentWaits, ... } from '../state.ts'
- theirs: same line + new import { isNarrowWidth } from '../breakpoints.ts'
Resolution keeps both imports; the two sides' semantic changes are in
disjoint regions (ours: tab-disabled wait mirroring; theirs:
activateTasksPage native-landing) and both survive intact.
The two auto-open switches (a new subagent, a new background job) and the
topology jump-back opened the Tasks page with `target: 'bottom'` — the
plugin's own bottom workbench, i.e. the bottom bar. The right column IS DSH's
native Sidebar since v0.19.0 and every other open in this plugin already lands
there, so `service.ts`'s native branch was bypassed and the switches did NOT
do what their copy promises (README feature table + `settingsSubagentDesc` /
`settingsJobsDesc` in all 20 dictionaries: "wide viewports also expand the
sidebar, while narrow full-screen drawers are not forced open").
- use-host-feeds: one `activateTasksPage(ctx, sessionId, { background })`
carries all three triggers and opens the Tasks page at the default (native)
landing, so the host expands the column in the same step.
- Narrow viewports keep that promise: below 768px the host draws the column
FULLSCREEN (`autoFullscreen = viewportWidth < 768`, `position: fixed;
inset: 0`) and expands it on every open with no way to suppress it, so a
BACKGROUND activation parks the tab — reads `ctx.sidebarRight.isExpanded()`
first and puts the column back to collapsed in the same React batch (only
for the mounted session, which is what that face acts on, and only when the
user had it collapsed). The explicit jump-back is a user gesture and always
takes the host's expansion.
- The bottom workbench keeps its own flows on `target: 'bottom'` (its `+`
menu, the first-expansion auto-terminal); `OpenTabSeed.target` is unchanged.
- tests/sidebar-auto-activation.spec.tsx: asserts the native surface receives
`openTab { kind: 'subagent', revealIfOpened: true }`, that the workbench
stays closed and gains no tab, the park counts per width, the resize-before
-fire read, and the jump-back's no-park. All 10 cases fail against the
unfixed module.
Root cause: 223b254 (retire the plugin's own right panel, v0.19.0-alpha.0)
rewrote these three landings from the plugin's right pane to the bottom one.
Baseline moves to DSH 0.1.5-alpha.2 only (peer floor ^0.1.5-alpha.2,
CI pin, manifest engines); alpha.1 users stay on v0.19.0-alpha.0.
Host-contract changes handled:
- the native guide entry lost its `description` field (entries are
icon+title capsules now): `TabDescriptor.description` and the six
`guideDesc*` keys plus the `nativeGuideDesc` fallback are removed.
- the file address grammar changed: `fileAddressFor` always returns a
session-scoped address (absolute paths keep their leading `/`),
`parseFileAddress` is prefix-based and strips `?`/`#`. The plugin's
purity-gated mirror follows.
- global main panels replaced the `conversation` root slot with the
keyed `main` slot (`main.conversation`): the bottom workbench's
center-column locator now accepts both keys and skips
`display: contents` slot hosts.
Fixes a pre-existing fill bug the alpha.2 probe made obvious: the native
tab body host is a block scroller with a definite height, so tab roots
that only declared `flex: 1` collapsed to content height and the side
chat composer drifted off the pane bottom. The native adapter now wraps
every tab body in a `height: 100%` column flex host.
Also promotes the dependencies `dsh-client-ui-primitives@0.1.5-alpha.2`
dropped from its manifest (anser / shiki / mdast-util-* / micromark-* /
katex / @shikijs/langs) and the newly unmet `dsh-session-persistence`
peer into devDependencies.
DSH 0.1.5 owns the right column (its native Sidebar hosts every tab type
this plugin registers), so the plugin's own right panel, its width drag /
new-session seed prefs, and the free-window feature are gone. The bottom
workbench is the only plugin-owned surface left, and its expand/collapse
control is registered into DSH's session-header utilities list slot (the
header's corner seat belongs to the native sidebar's own control).
- state: one `bottomSplits` tree; `makeDefaultState()` takes no arguments;
`toggleBottomPanel` / `openTabInBottomPane` are the only landing
reducers; `setBottomHeight` and `sanitizeState` share the
`CONVERSATION_MIN` cap (a persisted tall height no longer snaps on the
first drag).
- service: every landing in the workbench (creation or focus) expands it;
`SIDEBAR_FEATURES` drops `'floatWindows'`; the open/close/activate tab
pools cover the single tree.
- shell: `Sidebar.tsx` renders only the bottom workbench; the toggle lives
in `sidebar/bottom-toggle.tsx`; layout-push pushes height only (no width,
no `--dsh-sidebar-width`).
- prefs: `openByDefault` / `defaultWidthPercent` / `changesDiffFloat`
removed from the schema, defaults, client parser, settings page, and all
20 dictionaries; the retired keys in stored documents are ignored.
- tests: free-window specs deleted, panel/float assertions dropped,
remaining suites adapted (124 files / 1287 tests); the mount lane asserts
the header toggle and sweeps the native sidebar's guide page.
- docs: README / README_EN / guide §0,§11 / AGENTS test map.
