A cursor-less adoption (process restart + resume, fork, seam-module reload) replayed the session's full log from seq 0, re-exporting history that already left the process — a resume re-billed its entire stored log on every restart, and a fork re-shipped the parent's prefix under the child's id, doubling query-time counts on OTLP backends with no native ingest dedupe. dsh-session now exposes the fact the constructor already validated but discarded: Session.firstLiveSeq, the constructor-seed length — the first seq appended in this process. header.seedLength cannot serve here: it is the durable fork-lineage boundary, and a resumed session's constructor seed is its full stored log while the header keeps the original fork value (llm-replay and session-query-sqlite depend on that meaning). Constructor seeds also never publish on the session/event firehose, so adoption replaying them was inconsistent with the system's own publication semantics. Adoption's cursor-less fallback starts at firstLiveSeq; seed events still feed the chunk projection, so mid-step continuations re-drop after a resume. Fork streams are no longer self-contained: records now carry session.seed_length (with the existing session.parent_id) so receivers stitch the child's stream onto the parent's. Accepted cost, consistent with at-most-once delivery and recorded in the revival Agent Note: a resume no longer backfills records a previous process failed to deliver — a deployment with that requirement needs the deferred outbox, not replay. Pinned red-first: seeded adoption exports nothing (assertion reversed from the prior seed-readback test, obsolete behavior changed with its test), resume-shaped seed rebuilds the projection without exporting, and fork records carry the stitch attributes.
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 clones DeepSeek Harness to ~/.dsh/source, links dsh into ~/.local/bin, and launches it. Re-running the command updates the checkout. 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:
pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source run build && pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source 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.
