Implements the turndown Agent Note from the NIH dependency audit (full variant, not the minimal entities-only fallback): dsh-tool-web's fetch rendering now converts HTML through turndown + @joplin/turndown-plugin-gfm (atx headings, fenced code, dash bullets, GFM tables/strikethrough) over the real domino DOM, with script/style/noscript removed wholesale. The hand-rolled ~86-line regex converter html.ts and its entity tables are deleted; renderBody wraps the conversion in try/catch falling back to the raw HTML body, because turndown's recursive DOM walk overflows with a RangeError on pathological nesting (measured: 4k levels on the main thread, 8k in a worker) where the regex version could never throw. Closure weight, measured: tool-web IS in the single-exe runtime closure, and the exe asset globs would pack ~7.9 MB of the three new packages — but ~6 MB of that is domino's test corpus, with runtime lib/ at ~550 KB against a ~174 MB artifact (<0.5% either way), so the swap wins. Per testing policy the previously-missing keyless web_fetch snapshot ships in the same change: the acp-agent `web-fetch` scenario boots a new web.cordis.yml overlay (web seam + real dsh-web-fetch-local provider + tool-web fetch-only + a loopback HTTP fixture server on a fixed port serving deterministic HTML with entities, a GFM table, and nesting), so recording and keyless replay both drive the real HTTP fetch and real conversion end to end; the scenario pins the new `web` header class. The Agent Note moves proposed -> implemented and is rewritten per the lifecycle contract (Decision/Consequences/Testing, closure verdict and alternatives recorded); tool-web and acp-agent READMEs updated in both languages and pairs re-recorded.
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.
