DSH 0.1.7-alpha.1 is 1299 commits past 0.1.6-alpha.2 and rewrites four
contracts this plugin was built on. The peer floor moves to
^0.1.7-alpha.1 (semver's prerelease rule means ^0.1.6-alpha.2 can never
match a 0.1.7 prerelease); 0.1.6-alpha.2 and earlier stay on v0.19.1.
Released as 0.21.0-alpha.1 (dist-tag alpha).
Hard breaks:
- dsh-settings was rewritten: register(ns, schema) is gone, a form is
addressed by the plugin row's Loader entry id and read from the
module's exported Config. The preferences are merged into Config and
marked volatile — which requires DSH's own schemastery, because only
that build wraps a volatile field in the cosmokit reference the
loader's volatile commit walks. With the public package a settings
write reports success and revision 1 while the effective value never
changes.
- ui-primitives renamed its whole icon family (IconXxx14/16 ->
IconXxxRegular/Medium): 26 imported symbols, 17 files. The failing
mode is render-time, not load-time. Five call sites that relied on the
old 14px default now pass size={14} explicitly.
- Session format v4 rejects source.kind === 'plugin'; the side-chat
boundary injection now writes plugin:dsh-better-sidebar, the same kind
DSH's own v3->v4 migration produces, so historical threads survive.
Tool results moved to role 'tool' with top-level content/isError; all
four parsers accept both shapes.
- The client session snapshot dropped subagentsByParent/jobsBySession
and the on-demand subagent-catalog observation API. The Tasks page
reads projectionsBySession and a new jobs.list route.
Yields and convergence:
- The read-only previews go to DSH's documentpreview (Office->PDF, a
spreadsheet worker, zoom, per-directory refresh); editor.canOpen
refuses those 26 extensions. Markdown, HTML (with its sandbox
switches) and the editable code buffer stay.
- The host browser kind is desktop-profile-only now, so the web e2e
lanes expect no browser entry and assert its absence.
- Link takeover claims only urlTarget links and passes the rest to the
host, fixing a regression from the 0.1.6 round: the fallback pointed
at a 'browser' type the plugin no longer registers, so http links in
its own markdown did nothing.
Also fixed, found along the way:
- The file tree refreshes live (new directory watch over the plugin's
own socket), since the plugin owns the `files` kind.
- ctx.sessions.list has no `current` field at either tag; the three
readers were dead. They now use ctx.sidebarRight.mounted.
- package.json.files was missing lib/client-locale.js.
- Two genuinely dead call sites: sessions.openSubagent/open/
refreshSubagents do not exist on the current baseline, so the
topology click, the jump-back and the retry were all no-ops.
- The test harness window shim lacked addEventListener, which the 0.1.7
primitives call at module-evaluation time; and the e2e token exchange
needs Playwright's request stack, not Node's fetch.
Move the plugin onto the DSH 0.1.5-alpha.1 baseline (peer floor
^0.1.5-alpha.1, CI pinned to the alpha dist-tag) and fix the two host
contract changes that alpha line introduced.
Baseline:
- all @deepseek-ai/dsh-* peer/dev deps -> 0.1.5-alpha.1; optional peer
@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-sidebar-right (declared, unused until the
native-surface phase); devDep @deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop (inbox fold)
- dsh.plugin.json engines >=0.1.5-alpha.1; version 0.19.0-alpha.0;
SIDEBAR_SERVICE_VERSION follows
Live assistant stream (assistant/chunk is gone):
- 0.1.5 publishes in-flight model deltas as process-local
agent/assistant-stream frames instead of durable assistant/chunk events
and embeds the settled stream in assistant/message / assistant/attempt.
src/assistant-live.ts folds the frames into a bounded per-session buffer;
sidechat.events serves the current attempt as `live` rows (replaced every
poll, never a delta) and the transcript renders them; the inherited
in-progress snapshot reads message content / attempt stream / live frames.
Cold session reads (persistence.inspect is gone):
- 0.1.5 reads a stored session through an explicit read handle
(open(id,'read') -> handle.read() -> close()). src/session-store.ts owns
that protocol; every cold read (sidechat transcript, cold-resume preset,
session.cwd, changes replay) goes through it.
Dead code and docs:
- drop the remote.session.openWorkspacePath interception: 0.1.5's chat opens
files through ctx.sidebarRight.openResource instead, so the wrapper had no
caller and would hijack the host's "open in app" gesture; the
interceptOpenPath pref, its settings row and its locale keys go with it
- AGENTS.md §3 + external-plugin-guide.md describe the new baseline
- vitest setup bridges Node's localStorage accessor to jsdom's store (the
pre-existing 26 failures on Node >= 22)
- desktop-layout e2e seeds through host RPC and types into the Lexical
composer (0.1.5 replaced the textarea) instead of driving the directory
picker
Verified: pnpm typecheck / lint / build / test (124 files, 1327 tests) /
check:consumer-types, plus pnpm test:mount against a real
@deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.5-alpha.1 host (18/18).
sidechat.start passed `seed` without `meta.isSeeded: true` +
`inheritedEventCount`, so dsh-session treated the whole seed as the
child's OWN events and the child's Inbox constructor replayed the
parent's `agent/inbox/spliced` history — inheriting whatever input sat
UNCLAIMED in the parent at the click moment:
- next-turn: a queued follow-up behind a still-running turn;
- next-step (the reported long-context case, parent queue empty): a
tool-result context / steering spliced between step boundaries.
The first side prompt then claimed [phantom, boundary, question] — the
stale parent message was sent to the model BEFORE the boundary and
logged as a user/message. The fix passes the exact marker pair the
host's own session.fork uses (api-session-controller); ownEvents() now
stops at the end-seed boundary and the inherited inbox replays empty.
Regression tests run the REAL Session.create + Inbox in both
directions (old shape inherits the phantom, marked shape stays empty);
routes tests pin the two create options. Verified: pnpm typecheck /
test (5 pre-existing unrelated UI-spec failures on main unchanged) /
build.
- pins: CI mount-gate CLI, dsh.plugin.json engines floor, and the
@deepseek-ai/* peer floor / devDependencies baseline move to
0.1.2-alpha.5 (dsh-client-locale trails at 0.1.2-alpha.3 — no such
release upstream; ^0.1.2-alpha.3 already accepts the alpha.5 runtime)
- code: migrate the alpha.4 Session.events removal to snapshotEvents()
(sidechat transcript live reads, fork inheritance, jobs.output replay,
subagent activity) and drop the seedLength meta field the host removed
from CreateAgentOptions.meta
- gates: pnpm peers check clean, typecheck + 1137 unit tests green,
real-host mount smoke 14/14 on npm-published 0.1.2-alpha.5
