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.
* fix(sidechat): split context injection from the first user message
The first composer message rode the same user/message event as the side
boundary prompt (+ parked snapshot), and the transcript dropped that whole
row by its boundary prefix — swallowing the user's first question.
Deliver first contact as TWO messages: the boundary+snapshot rides
agent.inject (queued next-step context, claimed first at the opening step,
no wake) stamped with source kind 'plugin', and the question is the
follow-up that wakes the driver. The log records injection and question as
separate events; the transcript maps injections (plugin-sourced, or the
legacy boundary-prefix blob of pre-split threads) onto a collapsible
injection row and renders genuine user messages — the first one included —
as user rows. boundaryDelivered still recognizes the injection by its
unchanged boundary-prefix opening.
* feat(sidechat): codex-style collapsible rows and creating shimmer
Tool calls, thinking and context injections now share one quiet
single-line chrome (chevron + label + a one-line argument summary) that
expands into an indented body on a hairline thread — no cards or fills.
Streaming labels and the creating hero shimmer (shimmer = generating);
failed tools go danger; reduced-motion stills every loop.
* fix(sidebar): debounce subagent auto-open past the title frame
The host delivers a new child's origin and title in separate frames, so a
Side Chat thread's first visible frame lacks its 'Side: ' label and
tripped the 0→N auto-open — every thread creation popped the task page.
The trigger now rearms for 500ms and re-evaluates the original baseline
against the live snapshot, by which time the title filter recognizes the
thread. Genuine subagents still auto-open, half a second later.
* fix(sidechat): render legacy threads' first message as its own bubble
Threads created before the host split still log the boundary (+snapshot)
and the question as ONE 'user' message; the transcript mapped that row
wholly onto the injection row, so the user's first question only appeared
inside the expansion. The boundary prompt is a known constant, so the
legacy row now splits THERE: the injection row keeps the prompt, the
remainder renders as the user's real message (a pre-split snapshot, when
present, rides along — the common case is a pure question). Row React keys
become kind:seq so the split's two rows never collide.
