ZiyaZhang e8f5c0b51b feat(desktop): DSH Electron desktop shell — harness internals visualized
Minimal Electron shell over the DSH JSON-RPC runtime — a first-look at
what a ChatGPT.app-style host on top of the DeepSeek Harness looks
like, with the harness's normally-invisible internals (trace timeline,
context surface, subagent tree, compaction, plugin registry, rubrics)
brought forward as first-class UI surfaces so plugin authors and
researchers can see what the agent is actually doing.

Runs against three keyless-to-live profiles (stdio-echo works on
master out of the box; daemon-echo / daemon-vibe-echo activate once
the daemon-demo lands; stdio-deepseek and daemon-vibe hit the real
DeepSeek API when you supply a key). HARNESS_DEV auto-resolves to the
in-repo runtime when this shell ships under examples/desktop/, so a
fresh clone launches without config; env DSH_DEV_ROOT overrides for
custom layouts, and a sibling deepseek-harness-dev/ checkout is the
original dev workflow.

Cold-clone gate (P0 fixes for first-time-clone usability):
- HARNESS_DEV: 3-candidate resolver (env → walk-up in-repo marker →
  sibling), unit-tested via mock fs so ordering is locked without
  needing either real layout on disk.
- config yml leaves rewritten at assemble time so the sibling-clone
  paths (../../deepseek-harness-dev/examples/echo-agent/…) become
  the in-repo paths (../../echo-agent/…) in the released tree —
  source yml stays usable for local dev, released tree ships a
  working shape.
- pnpm-workspace.yaml allowBuilds.electron = true (was placeholder).
- missing-key card in stdio-deepseek offers a one-click switch to
  stdio-echo (the keyless profile that works on master) rather than
  daemon-echo (blocked on the not-yet-shipped daemon-demo).
- assemble-oss-release.sh rewrites the source-side breadcrumb name
  'dsh-desktop-demo' → 'dsh-desktop' for the released package.json.

FOUC guard on the onboarding gate (41fc5df carried) keeps the
first-launch splash from flashing before the runtime probe finishes.

Test suite (1634 tests in source, 3990 in the runtime repo) covers
resolver ordering, renderer classifiers, trace timeline shape,
compaction diff rendering, rubric parity, and the missing-key
onboarding paths.

qa-overlap-fix — payload-controls overlap regression probe

Guards the 2026-07-18 P0 fix (da779ac, merged as 9743db1): the .payload-controls cluster (pretty ⇅ raw · copy · download) no longer overlaps its label/meta text. Test-layer defense-in-depth is in test/style-css-static.test.js under "payload-controls overlap lock"; this probe adds the runtime dimension (real Electron, real DOM, real getBoundingClientRect()).

Run

pnpm exec node scripts/qa-overlap-fix-probe.mjs [outDir]

The probe boots a fresh isolated Electron (private --user-data-dir, dedicated --remote-debugging-port=9247), so it does NOT collide with any pnpm start you already have open. It kills the child on exit. Screenshots and a JSON geom trace land in docs/qa-overlap-fix/.

Exit codes: 0 = both widths overlap-free, 1 = overlap detected, 2 = probe hit an internal error (e.g. CDP didn't come up).

Widths tested: 1440px (broad) and 800px (narrow — flex-wrap kicks in; probe knows to allow that case).

When you launch this probe from a worktree that has never had pnpm install run in it, node_modules/.bin/electron won't exist and the probe will fail with ENOENT. Two options:

  1. pnpm install inside the worktree (safe, but downloads a fresh copy of electron per worktree — wastes disk).

  2. Symlink shortcut — reuse the primary checkout's node_modules:

    ln -s ../../dsh-desktop-demo/node_modules node_modules
    

    (Path is relative to the worktree root; adjust ../../ for your layout.) The electron binary is content-addressed inside pnpm's store so the two checkouts share bytes.

Third pattern: run the probe directly from the primary checkout (cd ~/harness/dsh-desktop-demo && node scripts/qa-overlap-fix-probe.mjs) after cherry-picking the fix to test into that checkout. This is what lane-overlap-fix used in the pre-compaction session and it works fine.

Also relevant for other lanes doing worktree-driven CDP probes: pnpm's symlink layout is worktree-agnostic once you've bridged node_modules in, so any script under scripts/qa-*.mjs that uses node_modules/.bin/electron gets the same shortcut for free.

What this covers

Four attachPayloadControls mount points get exercised implicitly:

  • (A) tool-block args row — renderer.js:1226.tool-block-label-row
  • (B) tool-block result row — renderer.js:1249.tool-block-label-row
  • (C) tool-json-drawer sections — tool-cards.js:663.tool-json-section-controls[data-drawer-controls]
  • (D) trace-detail-pane Render=JSON — trace-detail-pane.js:1512.trace-detail-json-panel (verified in the static gate; no runtime probe needed because that mount is display: flex; flex-direction: column; and the controls right-anchor via margin-left: auto — no same-line overlap topology exists there).

The static gate in test/style-css-static.test.js covers all four in one CSS scan (any rule ending in .payload-controls, .tool-block-label-row, or .tool-json-section-controls is banned from float: right|left and negative margin-top, and the rules must stay display: flex).
