DSH 0.1.6-alpha.2 ships a right-Sidebar terminal and a right-Sidebar browser
of its own. Both were things this plugin had built from scratch, so keeping
them meant two implementations of one surface plus a plugin that shadows a
host type the product is actively developing.
Terminal: the plugin's whole PTY stack goes — the UI-tab manager, the
agent-owned registry, the lazy node-pty loader, the eight model-facing
terminal_* tools, the xterm view and its font/link/scrollback helpers, and
the cross-session 'pinned terminal' rail that existed only to keep a terminal
alive across a session switch. The host's terminal kind becomes the only
provider, which also retires the node-pty dependency, its pnpm allowBuilds
entry, and the installer's -Repair mode (issue #140's whole class of
'node-pty failed to load' support).
Model-facing capability note: the plugin used to inject terminal_* tools
(off by default). Those are the model's only cross-call persistent terminal,
and DSH's own equivalent (@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-terminal) is not mounted by
any shipped bundle, so removing them leaves the model with the one-shot
bash/pwsh tools only. That is the accepted cost of not maintaining a second
PTY surface; the README documents how to enable the upstream toolset.
Browser: the plugin's browser tab type is dropped, so the host's own browser
kind owns embedded pages. The DOM-level link takeover STAYS (it is the only
thing that can route an https link to the system browser by protocol, which
the host does not do) but now delegates to the host's browser tab via
ctx.sidebarRight.openTab('browser', …) with a window.open fallback, and the
two settings that only ever configured the plugin's own iframe (sandbox
escape hatch, loopback allowlist) go with it — along with the host-side
browser.probe route they fed.
Cards: the empty-pane welcome cards adopt the host's guide-capsule recipe
(0.5px l4 hairline, 24px radius, layer-1 fill, 56px floor, 14px/20px padding)
so the plugin's 'pick what opens here' surface reads as the same design as
DSH's own. A theme.spec guard pins the geometry and the token-only paint —
including that the upstream-only --dsw-alias-bg-l1/-l2 spellings (defined
nowhere, so their declarations are silently dropped upstream) never appear
here.
Also drops the dead state the removed features left behind (SidebarTab.pin,
nextTerminal, agentWaits, bottomOpenedOnce, the agent-tab helpers, the
pinned-tab memo key), re-points every test fixture that used them at
surviving equivalents, and prunes the specs of the deleted features.
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.
Opening the source-control panel could freeze the whole sidebar, and the
frozen layout restored itself after every reload, leaving no way out
(issue #369). Three unbounded layers compounded:
- `git status --porcelain -z --untracked-files=all` shipped every row of a
pathological untracked set into one response; the browser main thread
froze on response.json() plus the unvirtualized change list, and the 2s
poll replayed the freeze. status() now caps entries at 2000 and reports
`truncated` (the panel shows a notice, mirroring fs.read's truncation
semantics); worktree change counts inherit the bound for free.
- repoRoots() probed every visible child directory of a non-repo cwd
(e.g. ~) serially, once per git.* call, each with the full 30s command
budget. Discovery now uses a 3s probe timeout, caps probes at 200
directories, and shares one in-flight scan plus a 60s TTL cache per cwd.
- A hung layout persisted `panelOpen: true` with the git tab active, so a
reload remounted straight back into the freeze with no escape hatch.
Loading with `?dsh-sidebar-reset` now drops the persisted layout (and
the shared width) and starts from the default.
statusTruncated copy synced across all 19 shipped dictionaries.
* feat(editor): merged explorer mode — path input, docked file tree, global name search
New editorExplorer pref (default on, editor card gear): the editor tab gains
a path-input header and a toggleable right-docked tree panel (per-tab state
in tab.meta.treeOpen; file tabs default closed, the seeded path-less home
tab defaults open). Fresh sessions seed that empty editor tab instead of
the explorer tab when merged mode is on; the standalone explorer tab stays
in the + menu unchanged.
- Extract FileTree.tsx from ExplorerView (shared by both hosts)
- Host fs.search route: recursive case-insensitive name search rooted at
the session cwd, budget-capped (200 matches / 100k visited), skips .git,
never descends symlink dirs
- EditorHost reads the pref reactively (boolean snapshot) and keeps the
pre-merge layout verbatim when off
* feat(settings): select row type for declarative settings; editorExplorer as iconed select
- SidebarSettingToggle gains type 'select' with options {value,title,desc,icon}
and multi (default false; stores the picked values as an array in options
order). Any option carrying an icon renders big-icon option cards in the
dropdown and the icon in the closed anchor; icon-less rows are one-line text.
- SelectRow in SideCardSection rides the primitives Menu (portal); single-pick
commits and closes, multi toggles and stays open. Wired for both host-prefs
toggles and plugin-owned pluginToggles via the new onSelectValue seam.
- The editorExplorer merged-mode pref is now an iconed select (merged vs
separate) instead of a switch; the stored value stays boolean.
- Advertise the capability as 'settingSelect' in SIDEBAR_FEATURES.
* feat(editor): unify explorer into the editor surface, resizable tree dock, hoisted toolbar
- One tree implementation, two presentations: the shared TreePanel (global
name search + refresh + FileTree) docks as the editor tab's right panel
and — in merged mode — fills the explorer tab's window; the pref-off
explorer keeps its legacy header shell.
- The docked panel drag-resizes from its left edge (160-480px clamp),
persisted as tab.meta.treeWidth alongside treeOpen.
- The text editor's preview/edit/save toolbar moves into the path-input
header row: FileViewerProps gains internal toolbar fields ('host' mode
skips the viewer's own row, reports EditorToolbarState and registers
EditorToolbarControls); non-merged mode is byte-identical to before.
* feat(editor): single files window with in-place switching; explorer descriptor removed
- editor tab replaces explorer on the + menu (order 10, Files); persisted
explorer tabs migrate to the editor home tab via sanitizeState
- editorExplorer now only controls open behavior: merged = in-place
updateTab, independent = openSidebarFile; both modes share the merged
chrome (path input + hoisted preview/edit/save toolbar + tree toggle)
- file tree context menu gains 'open in new tab' / 'open to the side'
(mintTabId avoids the id safety net; insertLeafAt splits right)
- tree dock resize uses pointer capture (touch-action none, 6px handle)
- defaults: openByDefault off, sidebar width 35%
- file tree clips horizontal overflow (no sideways scroll)
- e2e: mount lane arms the editor-chunk wait before goto and clicks the
tree row's left edge (hover @-reference button sits mid-row); drag lane
expands the panel first (collapsed push writes 0px), waits for the
slide-in to settle, and picks the leftmost col-resize strip; 'Files'
title assertions require draggable to skip the bottom panel's welcome
cards
* feat(editor): split mode turns the path-less window into the standalone explorer
In independent (split) mode a path-less files window renders ONLY the
tree panel (search + FileTree, full-window form) — no path input, no
hoisted toolbar, no tree toggle. File clicks open per-path editor tabs
(full chrome, tree docked closed by default) through openSidebarFile,
unchanged. Merged mode is untouched (chrome + docked tree, in-place
switching). TreePanel's previously reserved 'full' prop now has its
consumer.
