`dsh` shipped two config trees that were 43 rows the same: apps/cli/cordis.yml composed web as 74 flat rows, while the TUI booted examples/tui-agent/cordis.yml whose single `@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui-demo` row mounted twelve plugins behind a twenty-key pass-through Config. Neither file was what its location claimed — apps/cli hardcoded the "example" as the product default and the "demo" bundle was the application — and every capability change had to be made twice. - apps/cli/base.cordis.yml holds the 43 shared rows; tui.cordis.yml and web.cordis.yml are patch lists stating only what differs per surface - overlays apply as SIBLING patch lists at one include level, because include patches never cross an include boundary. Precedence: base < surface < (--config | personal ~/.dsh/config.yaml) < launcher flag/profile patches - `--config` now applies an overlay INSTEAD OF the personal one, so a demo or test tree never inherits the user's route; new `--config-replace` boots a file as the entire tree (the old `--config` behaviour). Both survive /resume - vendor/include: index each `insert`ed row as it is added so a later patch can configure or disable it. Upstream built the id index once before the patch loop, leaving every surface-only row — the whole TUI front door — silently unpatchable from user config. Logged as local modification 8 - session identity moves to dsh-agent-loop's CONFIGURED_AGENT_IDENTITIES_KEY; dsh-tui's MAIN_SESSION_ID_KEY is deleted (only the bundle read it) - delete examples/tui-agent, examples/cordis-agent, packages/examples/tui-demo; TUI tests → apps/cli/tests, cordis e2e → packages/cordis/tool-cordis/tests, examples/code-mode survives as an overlay leaf - `dsh web` gains --config, threaded into AppCLIEntry as an extra overlay Three latent defects surfaced and are fixed here: the TUI captured the optional sessionQuery service once at construction and could permanently disable /resume when it won the mount race; the session-store root silently reverted to a project-local ./.sessions; --config-replace was dropped by the resume handoff. Verified by booting each tree through the real Loader (TUI 55 entries, web 75, zero unsettled) rather than reading YAML. All eight terminal snapshots replay byte-identically; 14/14 PTY smoke, 112/112 snapshots, 25/25 doc-sync, hygiene and lint clean.

Introduction
English | 中文
DeepSeek Harness is a plugin-based agent development framework built on the Cordis microkernel. Its central idea is simple: everything is a plugin.
What it is
Harness implements every capability an AI agent needs—including LLM calls, tool execution, session management, and subtask delegation—as a composable plugin. A cordis.yml file declares which plugins to load and how to configure them, assembling a complete agent.
# Select the LLM backend
- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-deepseek'
config:
apiKey: !!js process.env.DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
# Select the agent the interactive front door drives
- id: agent-loop
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-agent-loop'
config:
agents:
- id: main
provider: deepseek
model: deepseek-v4-flash
# Select the interactive front door
- name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-tui'
Who it is for
Application users
To run an existing agent application, such as a coding assistant or conversational agent:
- Copy an example template.
- Add an API key.
- Run it.
No code is required. See the quick start.
Plugin developers
To add a custom tool, a new LLM adapter, or another execution backend, write a plugin. Harness provides explicit extension interfaces and a type-safe development experience. See development.
Core features
- Configuration only —
cordis.ymlselects the capability set; changing a model or adding a tool is a configuration edit. - Hot replacement (HMR) — edit plugin code during development without restarting the process.
Technology
- Runtime: Node.js ^22.19 or >= 24
- Language: TypeScript (ESM)
- Framework: Cordis
- Package manager: pnpm workspaces (the repository pins pnpm 11)
