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.
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.
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.
