- Remove every box-shadow; panel uses the native sidebar fill surface
(--dsw-specific-sidebar-fill) with a hairline border, the collapse
control becomes the native 36px circular rail button, the active tab
uses the native interactive-bg-active fill, and rows/typography follow
the native 34px/14px session-row recipe.
- New 'Side card' settings section in the DSH Settings shell: open-by-
default for new conversations (boolean) and default width share as a
percent of the window (20-60). New sessions seed from these prefs;
existing per-session layouts stay untouched.
- The settings namespace is read/written through the plugin's own fenced
/sidebar routes calling the settings seam in-process: the DSH settings
RPC domain only serves allowlisted namespaces to configuration clients,
so third-party namespaces cannot use connection.api.settings (reads are
silently filtered, writes refused with 'not exposed'). The seam still
persists to the user settings document with revision-guarded writes.
Host half (src/index.ts): /sidebar/api JSON API (session cwd, fs tree/read/
write, git status/diff/stage/commit/branch/log/show), /sidebar/file media
route, /sidebar/ws/terminal WebSocket over node-pty; routes share the /api
trust fence (Host-header loopback or connection.trustedHosts).
Client half (src/client): portal-mounted right panel with a per-session
split-pane workbench (recursive row/col splits, draggable dividers, tab
drag-move), tab bar with max-width 160px + plus-menu (explorer/git/terminal
multi-open rules), lazy file explorer rooted at the session cwd, editable
text editor (dirty dot, Ctrl/Cmd+S), image + Markdown preview, xterm
terminal with reconnect, and a VSCode-style git panel. Per-session state
persists to localStorage (dsh-sidebar:v1:<sessionId>). Intercepts the chat
turn-tail produced-files row (priority -1 chain entry) to open files in the
sidebar. UI styled with the dsh --dsw-* theme tokens and ui-primitives.
Build: tsdown emits the host lib plus the __ModuleLoader__ client bundle
(externals = module table words; xterm/css inlined). Tests: 19 unit + smoke
specs (pure state/tree/git parsers + real git/fs integration).
