`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.
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 keeps every checkout under ~/.dsh/source: the master clone at ~/.dsh/source/master and each install's staging checkout as a git worktree ~/.dsh/source/staging-<timestamp>. The stable symlink ~/.dsh/source/current points at the active staging worktree, and dsh in ~/.local/bin links to current/bin/dsh, so an upgrade repoints one symlink and the dsh on PATH never moves. Re-running the command adds a fresh staging worktree from an updated master and repoints current at it. 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. Resolve the running checkout from the dsh launcher so the command holds regardless of which staging worktree is current (the launcher resolves through the stable current symlink):
dsh_bin=$(cd "$(dirname "$(command -v dsh)")" && pwd -P)/$(basename "$(command -v dsh)")
while [ -L "$dsh_bin" ]; do
link=$(readlink "$dsh_bin")
case $link in /*) dsh_bin=$link ;; *) dsh_bin=$(cd "$(dirname "$dsh_bin")" && cd "$(dirname "$link")" && pwd -P)/$(basename "$link") ;; esac
done
dsh_dir=$(cd "$(dirname "$dsh_bin")/.." && pwd -P)
pnpm --dir "$dsh_dir" run build && pnpm --dir "$dsh_dir" 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.
