dsh-manager — DeepSeek Harness Management Panel

A one-click local launcher and management panel for DeepSeek Harness (dsh web). Double-click to start the harness, then manage it from a browser: start/stop/restart the service, install/uninstall/enable plugins, watch live logs, and pick plugin folders with a native dialog.

The panel is a single-file PowerShell HTTP server (dsh-manager/server.ps1) — no Node, no database, no dependencies beyond what Windows ships.

Features

• One-click service control — start, stop, restart the local dsh web server (port 3080 by default), with ready-detection and auto-open in the browser.
• Configurable dsh path — the service control area has a dsh 启动路径 row: type or pick (folder icon) the deepseek-harness checkout directory and save. It persists to %APPDATA%\dshm\config.json, overrides the -Checkout default, and takes effect at the next start (a running dsh is unaffected).
• Plugin management — install, uninstall, and enable/disable plugins on a profile's composition layer, through dsh plugin (pnpm) in the background with live progress in the log area.
• Install guard — installing/uninstalling is blocked while dsh is running: composition changes only take effect after a restart, so the panel tells you to stop the service first.
• Native folder picker — a folder icon opens the Windows folder dialog in a detached process (no console window, no server blocking); the picked path is filled into the local-path install field.
• Plugin source display — every installed plugin shows a description read from its README (or -) and its real file source path (resolved from link:/file: dependencies); built-in bundles show "内置模板组合包".
• Live logs — launch log and plugin-operation log, streamed incrementally to the page.

Quick start

1. Double-click dsh-manager.cmd (or run dsh-manager/server.ps1).
2. The panel opens at http://127.0.0.1:3399 and the dsh service at http://127.0.0.1:3080.
3. Use the Launch tab to start the service, and the Plugins tab to manage plugins.

Ports: manager defaults to 3399 (auto-falls back if busy), dsh to 3080. The dsh checkout path defaults to D:\AI\DeepSeekHarness\deepseek-harness; set it in the panel (服务控制 → dsh 启动路径, saved to %APPDATA%\dshm\config.json) or pass -Checkout.

Plugin workflow

• Install a local plugin: stop the service → click the folder icon → pick the plugin folder → Install → start the service again.
• Install from npm/git/tarball: choose the source type, enter the spec, Install (service must be stopped).
• Uninstall / toggle: stop the service first, then uninstall or flip the enable switch; restart to apply.
• Uninstall cleanup — a successful uninstall also removes the plugin's local config files (e.g. dsh-vision deletes $DSH_HOME/vision-config.json).
• The operation runs as a background job; progress appears in the plugin log and the list refreshes automatically.

Technical notes

• The backend is a minimal TcpListener HTTP server — no http.sys, no admin URL ACL, compatible with Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7+.
• The folder dialog runs in a detached, hidden-console PowerShell process so the single-threaded HTTP loop never blocks; the result is polled by the front end.
• Stopping the service collects every related process (port listener + command-line match + parent chain) and kills the tree.
