What this plugin does

dsh-archives is a plugin for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) web app.

DSH has a frustrating design: once a session is archived, there is no way to view it or restore it — it simply disappears from the sidebar. The log and data are still on disk, but the UI leaves no trace. This plugin adds an "Archived (n)" button at the bottom of the sidebar that lists every hidden session, grouped by workspace, so you can restore anything with one click.

Screenshots

Features

• Persistent "Archived (n)" seat at the sidebar foot — auto-hides when nothing is archived
• Panel grouped by workspace, groups collapsed by default, expansion state remembered
• Click a session row → restore & open the original session (live, no restart)
• ⿻ button → fork a copy as a new session (the original stays archived)
• ↻ button → move back to the sidebar without opening
• Bilingual UI (zh/en), inline error messages, click-outside to close

Option 1: Deploy manually

Prerequisite: a machine with DSH installed and dsh web running.

1. Get the plugin: clone or download this repo (Gitee mirror recommended in mainland China):

   git clone https://gitee.com/chill109/dsh-archives.git    # mainland China, faster
   git clone https://github.com/chou109/dsh-archives.git    # international mirror

   You get the dsh-archives folder

2. Copy it into DSH's plugin directory (note: profiles/node_modules, not under profiles/web; paths resolve via $DSH_HOME, default ~/.dsh):
   • Windows (PowerShell):

     $dsh = if ($env:DSH_HOME) { $env:DSH_HOME } else { "$env:USERPROFILE\.dsh" }
     Copy-Item -Recurse .\dsh-archives "$dsh\profiles\node_modules\"

   • macOS / Linux:

     cp -r dsh-archives "${DSH_HOME:-$HOME/.dsh}/profiles/node_modules/"

3. Enable it: edit $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml (default ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml when unset) and append:

   - insert:
       - id: archives
         name: 'dsh-archives'

4. Restart: stop the running dsh web, run dsh web again, open http://127.0.0.1:3080
5. Confirm: the "Archived (n)" button appears at the sidebar foot. If you have never archived a session, the button stays hidden — that is normal; archive one session first to try it

Option 2: Let an AI deploy it for you

The "If you are an AI agent, read this" section below is an executable deployment manual written for AI (one-command deploy, verification checklist, troubleshooting). You don't have to type any commands — just copy this prompt to any AI assistant (DeepSeek / GPT / Claude …):

Please deploy the dsh-archives plugin to my DeepSeek Harness Web.
Repo location: https://gitee.com/chill109/dsh-archives.git (recommended in mainland China)
               or https://github.com/chou109/dsh-archives.git
First read the README in the repo (especially the "If you are an AI agent" part),
then follow its one-command deploy steps, run the verification checklist,
and tell me the result. Locate the DSH home directory yourself ($DSH_HOME env var, default ~/.dsh).

The AI will do it all: locate the DSH directory → copy the plugin → write the config → restart → verify.

Everyday usage

1. Click "Archived (n)" at the sidebar foot
2. Expand the workspace group you want
3. Pick an action: click a row = restore & open; ⿻ = fork; ↻ = unarchive only

This is an executable deployment and operations manual. Whenever you are asked to "deploy / install / use / debug dsh-archives", follow it as-is — paths and commands are exact, do not improvise.

0. What this is

A DSH dual-half client plugin — no build step, no third-party runtime dependencies.

1. Deploy

Get the repo (if not already local): git clone https://gitee.com/chill109/dsh-archives.git (recommended in mainland China) or git clone https://github.com/chou109/dsh-archives.git, then cd dsh-archives before running the steps below.

TL;DR — one command (Linux / macOS bash):

DSH_HOME="${DSH_HOME:-$HOME/.dsh}"
cp -r ./dsh-archives "$DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules/"
mkdir -p "$DSH_HOME/profiles/web"
cat >> "$DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml" <<'EOF'

# dsh-archives: archived sessions at the sidebar foot
- insert:
    - id: archives
      name: 'dsh-archives'
EOF

TL;DR — one command (Windows PowerShell):

$dsh = if ($env:DSH_HOME) { $env:DSH_HOME } else { "$env:USERPROFILE\.dsh" }
Copy-Item -Recurse .\dsh-archives "$dsh\profiles\node_modules\"
Add-Content "$dsh\profiles\web\cordis.patch.yml" @"

# dsh-archives: archived sessions at the sidebar foot
- insert:
    - id: archives
      name: 'dsh-archives'
"@

Full procedure (exact paths):

1. Locate DSH home: $DSH_HOME (default ~/.dsh when unset; %USERPROFILE%\.dsh on Windows).
2. Copy the plugin into the dependency directory. Note the web profile's deps live one level above the profile dir ($DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules/, flat hoisted layout), not inside profiles/web/node_modules:

   cp -r dsh-archives "$DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules/"

3. Enable the plugin: append to $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml (create the file with this content if it does not exist):

   # Your patch layer for this dsh profile.
   - insert:
       - id: archives
         name: 'dsh-archives'

   id is an arbitrary loader row name; name must equal the package name (dsh-archives).

4. Restart: stop the running dsh web process, run dsh web again, open http://127.0.0.1:3080.

2. Verification checklist (all four must pass)

# Linux/macOS
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "bundle=%{http_code}\n" http://127.0.0.1:3080/plugins/dsh-archives/client.js  # expect bundle=200
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "route=%{http_code}\n"  http://127.0.0.1:3080/archives/unarchive             # expect route=405

# Windows PowerShell
(Invoke-WebRequest http://127.0.0.1:3080/plugins/dsh-archives/client.js -UseBasicParsing).StatusCode  # 200
(Invoke-WebRequest http://127.0.0.1:3080/archives/unarchive -UseBasicParsing).StatusCode              # 405

The other two: window.__DSH_BOOT__ in the served page source contains dsh-archives; the "Archived (n)" button appears at the sidebar foot (requires at least one archived session to be visible).

3. Debugging

Live frame check (verify the unarchive push path): connect to ws://127.0.0.1:3080/api/events.host; after one unarchive you should receive a host/archived-sessions-changed frame carrying the full updated archive set.

4. Operations (interface & behavior contract)

HTTP endpoint

UI actions

Data contract

• The archive set persists at global.archivedSessionIds in $DSH_HOME/storages/workspace.json
• Archived sessions stay in session.list (only hidden from grouping views); log and accounting slot are untouched
• Directly open()ing a still-archived session is cleared immediately by the runtime (by design) — so "restore" must unarchive first, wait for the set to sync, then open

5. How unarchive works

POST /archives/unarchive {sessionId}
  └─ host: workspaceRegistry.enqueueOperation → requireState → setState
       └─ workspace.domain.global.set (disk + memory + domain/changed event)
            └─ api-proxy observes the event → pushes host/archived-sessions-changed
                 └─ client: installArchived → useWorkspaces updates → the panel drops the session

It uses the registry's own write path (serialized on its operation tail), exactly like built-in operations: live across tabs, survives restarts.

6. Modifying / extending (do & don't)

• ✅ The bundle id in window.__ModuleLoader__.load({id, ...}) must equal package.json name
• ✅ useSessions / useWorkspaces require a selector — the engine's bindSnapshotSelector does not default a missing one (crashes with w is not a function)
• ✅ host/archived-sessions-changed is a framework constant — never rename it
• ✅ The restore flow waits for the archive set to sync before open(), so the projection sweep cannot clear the fresh selection
• ❌ Do not open() a still-archived session directly
• UI changes need only a refresh; host changes need a restart; renaming the package requires updating the bundle id, the directory, and cordis.patch.yml together

7. Testing

node tests/smoke-test.cjs   # client smoke test; react resolves via $DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules by default, override with DSH_PROFILE_NODE_MODULES
node tests/host-test.mjs    # host smoke test; no external dependencies

8. Known limitations

• Directly open()ing an archived session is cleared by the runtime (by design); use restore & open or fork
• Archived sessions are excluded from sidebar content search (framework behavior)
• Rail (collapsed) sidebar shows the icon only
• The panel is a fixed-position overlay; it overlaps the Cordis plugin panel if both are open
• Built and verified against dsh 0.1.0-rc.6; adapt if slot/service names change after upgrading
