DSH Plugin Manager

An independently publishable DSH bundle that adds a categorized plugin manager to Settings → Plugins.

This repository is intentionally shaped like a normal DSH community plugin:

• the root package.json is the installable npm package;
• dsh.bundle.patch mounts the Host gateway;
• dsh.client loads the browser Settings tab in native Web clients;
• lib/ contains the already-built Host and Client artifacts;
• GitHub is the source, documentation, and dsh-plugin market-discovery page;
• npm is the normal installation and update channel.

Screenshots

What it provides

• categories for every installed profile package;
• GitHub dsh-plugin market search;
• duplicate-install detection;
• npm-first installation when a market repository publishes a DSH bundle;
• GitHub fallback for unpublished repositories;
• uninstall, single-package update, update checking, and startup checks;
• GitHub Release checks for source-installed plugins with semver tags, with commit-head fallback for unpinned sources;
• explicit pnpm build approval/retry with captured diagnostics;
• an install-complete restart prompt for Desktop and native Web;
• the same active-profile behavior in DSH Desktop and npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web.

Install after publishing

Replace the package name below if the publisher renames it:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-plugin-manager-community@latest

# Native Web profile
npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-manager-community@latest
npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh web

After installing a newer package version, restart the current DSH process so the new bundle layer is loaded. The Settings tab asks about restarting after a successful market install.

The native Web restart intentionally replaces the running Node process. Depending on browser timing, the HTTP request that triggered the restart can still surface as Failed to fetch; the current lib/client.js recognizes that Web-only disconnect as an expected restart and displays a reconnecting status. Publish lib/index.js and lib/client.js from the same release.

Compatibility

The plugin manager is verified against DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Desktop and the native Web profile of the same application. The dsh.client.platform: "web" declaration describes the browser face; it is not a GitHub-only installation mode. A remote browser still controls the Host/profile running the DSH process, so package operations occur on that machine.

On Windows native Web, the Host resolves pnpm in this order: DSH_PNPM_BIN, the active profile/shared DSH pnpm package, PNPM_HOME/npm global directories, PATH, and finally Node.js Corepack. Direct .exe/pnpm-script launches avoid shell splitting of paths such as C:\\Program Files; .cmd shims are quoted when needed. Command output uses UTF-8 with a GB18030 fallback so Chinese cmd.exe diagnostics remain readable. If none of those locations is available, install Node.js/Corepack or set DSH_PNPM_BIN to the full pnpm.cmd path, then restart the Web process.

Development note

lib/ is the release artifact copied from the verified Harness build. src/ is included for review and future maintenance. The current source mirror is kept aligned with the Harness implementation; the handoff instructions publish the verified artifact directly and do not require a Harness monorepo checkout.
