The fork was pinned at upstream v0.18.0. That is the entire reason the window
ran TWO sidebars and TWO near-identical panel toggles: DSH 2.0.10 ships its own
right sidebar (@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-sidebar-right), and upstream only
adopted it in v0.19.0-alpha.1 — which arrived after our fork point. v0.19.1 is
also the one upstream line whose support range actually matches our host
(engines.dsh >=0.1.5-rc.1, 14 DSH peers ^0.1.5-rc.1, host = 0.1.5-rc.2), so it
is the only tag the host's startup precheck accepts.
What upstream v0.18.0 → v0.19.1 brings
- src/client/native/{index,surface,tab-adapter}.tsx: every tab the plugin can
draw becomes an OFFICIAL native tab type + body, and an external plugin's
descriptor registered later gets its native type too. This is what retires
the fork's own right panel — and with it the duplicate toggle cluster
(`toggleCluster` is gone from v0.19.1).
- native tab-chip icons via the `sidebar.right.pane.tab.title` seat, coloured
built-in tab icons, file/folder glyphs from DSH's own `FileTypeIcon`.
- guide descriptions (DSH renders them while the guide lists <= 4 entries),
tab bodies that fill the panel, and the 0.1.5-rc.2 adaptation work we were
carrying by hand (peer/devDep pinning, primitives' transitive devDeps).
How the sync was done
Rebuilt the tree from the v0.19.1 tag rather than resolving 53 conflicted
files: our v0.18.0 delta was measured first and is only (a) one mechanical
rename `dsh-better-sidebar` -> `dsh-apes-sidebar` and (b) ten real edits. So:
tag tree + rename (scoped: code/config/scripts/tests/README, while the 46
historical docs/plans records and switch.sh's upstream package name stay
untouched) + re-applied deltas + our apes module.
Fork deltas re-applied on the new base
- src/client/apes/ (icons / locales / tabs): the three apes:* information-layer
tabs (agents / apps / profile), registered through the same BetterSidebarService
as the builtins — which is exactly why they now ride upstream's native adapter
into the official sidebar for free.
- identity: package.json (name/version 1.2.0/description/forkedFrom), dsh.plugin.json
(id/version), SIDEBAR_SERVICE_VERSION 1.2.0, README fork notice,
docs/external-plugin-guide.md.
- scripts/switch.sh + the pnpm switch* scripts (apes <-> upstream two-line switch).
- tests/apes-tabs.spec.ts (unescaped: it starts from the v0.19.1 base).
Dropped
- the Phase A native-registration spike (`apes/native-tabs.tsx` + its spec): it
re-derived by hand exactly what upstream's native layer already does — the
hand-written bridge is dead weight now, and v0.19.1's own e2e/jsdom lanes
cover the same seat contract far better.
- the unused apesProfileGuideDesc key and the two package.json.bak.* backups.
Verified on the new base: typecheck clean; build clean; 1351 passed / 9 skipped
(128 files), up from 1255 on the old base.
The explorer @ button appended plain text (@folder/file.ts), which DSH's
composer only decorates as a folder ref (@folder/) — the file name stayed
outside the link. Insert FILE references through DSH's own structured
insert-reference event instead, minting one chip for the whole reference
(displayed as @basename, serialized as the full @path). Directories keep the
plain @dir/ mention so folder completion still works.
A programmatic setDraft commit resets the controlled textarea's caret
(observed landing at the start of the value), so every later insert probed
the reset position and the stack drifted (A|B + C + D became |DACB).
placeComposerCaretAfterInsert puts the caret right after the inserted text
once the value commit lands - the index accounts for the left-side
separating space - and is guarded by a value-sync check plus a two-frame
retry, so a newer edit or a different composer wins untouched.
spliceInsert now reports the caret index together with the spliced draft
so the placement math cannot drift from the join logic. Nothing else moves:
the pure insertAtCaret surface is unchanged.
appendToDraft always spliced at the end of the draft. The conversation
service exposes no caret API, so probe the live composer textarea selection
from the DOM (value-sync guarded) and splice at that position with
whitespace-aware joins; an unknown or stale caret falls back to appending.
The explorer @-reference shares this path, so it inserts at the caret too.
