- `SessionSummary.updatedAt`'s wire doc still said "Persisted file mtime", which stopped being true for attached sessions. - The core invariant let `session/inherited` fall through the merge-extensible default. It is core-owned, so it gets an explicit case; an unbalanced seed legally places it inside an open turn, which the relation permits. - The Agent Note claimed the boundary reaches disk via `live.pending`/ `scheduleDrain`. Verified false: the constructor append precedes `enter()`, so it never publishes on `session/event` and rides the creation seed instead. Attaching is therefore a write where none happened before — recorded, since only `load()` stays a pure read. - The deferred-index proposal asserted this change documented the cold-mtime skew on `dsh-host-apiproxy`. It did not; the README entry now exists. - `firstLiveSeq`'s firehose gap runs through its own seq, not below it. - The boundary is not always at `firstLiveSeq` (the idempotence guard), so consumers scan for the last one. - `lastActivityTime` excludes by type, so a pickup time still leaks onto a synthetic closer when a boundary ends an open turn. Documented. - Pin the fork claim end-to-end: a child inherits a still-running parent's open bracket below its own boundary, while the parent has none. Fails if the write moves back to the load path. - Fix the telemetry title that contradicted its own assertions. The `/status` call site cannot be pinned the way the other two are: the command appends its own `command/run` before rendering, so the boundary is never the log tail there. Its fixture now at least renders over a boundary-bearing log.
DeepSeek Harness
English | 中文
DeepSeek Harness (dsh) is an open-source coding agent built on the DeepSeek Harness SDK.
It uses an architecture where everything is a plugin.
Install
Install dsh with one command:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/master/scripts/install.sh | sh
The installer requires git and Node ^22.19 || >=24, offers to install pnpm when it is missing, and prompts for a DeepSeek API key.
The installer keeps every checkout under ~/.dsh/source: the master clone at ~/.dsh/source/master and each install's staging checkout as a git worktree ~/.dsh/source/staging-<timestamp>. The stable symlink ~/.dsh/source/current points at the active staging worktree, and dsh in ~/.local/bin links to current/bin/dsh, so an upgrade repoints one symlink and the dsh on PATH never moves. Re-running the command adds a fresh staging worktree from an updated master and repoints current at it. See scripts/install.sh for alternate install locations and other options.
Use DeepSeek Harness
Web UI
For the recommended local interface, build the frontend after installation and after each update, then start the Web UI. Resolve the running checkout from the dsh launcher so the command holds regardless of which staging worktree is current (the launcher resolves through the stable current symlink):
dsh_bin=$(cd "$(dirname "$(command -v dsh)")" && pwd -P)/$(basename "$(command -v dsh)")
while [ -L "$dsh_bin" ]; do
link=$(readlink "$dsh_bin")
case $link in /*) dsh_bin=$link ;; *) dsh_bin=$(cd "$(dirname "$dsh_bin")" && cd "$(dirname "$link")" && pwd -P)/$(basename "$link") ;; esac
done
dsh_dir=$(cd "$(dirname "$dsh_bin")/.." && pwd -P)
pnpm --dir "$dsh_dir" run build && pnpm --dir "$dsh_dir" run build:web
dsh web
The Web UI is served at http://127.0.0.1:3080 by default.
TUI
Start the full-screen terminal interface:
dsh
Headless
Run one task, print the final answer, and exit:
dsh -p "summarize this workspace"
Why DeepSeek Harness
Built-in capabilities cover file reading, editing, and search; shell execution; reusable skills; task tracking; subagents and workflows; persistent sessions; and context compaction. The TUI also includes Plan Mode.
- Everything is a plugin. Models, tools, policies, storage, context management, and interfaces are composable Cordis plugins, so deployments can extend or replace behavior without forking the agent loop. See the architecture for the underlying design.
- Code Mode (opt-in). It exposes a
run_codetool and a generated TypeScript SDK; only program output re-enters model context. See Code Mode. - Self-referential Cordis tools are opt-in. They let the agent inspect its live runtime and mount or unmount plugins while it runs. See the Cordis tools.
