🆕 2026-08-14 · v0.3.0 — In-UI notes editing is live: click Edit notes on any card to rename a plugin or rewrite its description in place. No more hand-editing catalog.json.

🏷️ v0.4.0 — Package renamed to the owner-controlled scope @2768651338/dsh-plugin-manager (previous @dsh-external/* scope was not authorized).

🔧 v0.2.x — Fixed endpoint 404 under tsx source launch (strict ./typert registration) and the cordis inject access (ctx.get channel).

---

Overview

Problem. The built-in "Plugin list" in DeepSeek Harness shows only English module names with no descriptions — once you install many plugins, nobody can tell what each row does. Enable/disable previously required hand-editing cordis.patch.yml, which is easy to break.

Who it's for. Every DeepSeek Harness user, especially people who install many plugins and want to know what each one does, toggle them safely, and annotate the ones the catalog doesn't cover.

Pain	Before	With this plugin
Plugin list is meaningless	English module names only, no clue what each row does	Chinese name + one-line description + category for every plugin
Toggling is manual	Hand-edit cordis.patch.yml (easy to break)	One-click switch, surgical line-level edits, hot-reloaded in ~1s
Unknown plugins stay mysterious	Fallback text only	Add your own notes directly in the UI
Nothing is safe from fat fingers	Any row can be disabled	System rows locked, !!js-controlled rows labeled

Compatibility

Item	Value
DSH version	0.1.0-rc.5 (official installer, built-in source tree under resources/harness)
Verified on	2026-08-14, web profile, Windows
Install mechanism	dsh plugin --profile web add (bundle patch + dual-face row)
Depends on	typert-loader / api-gateway / client-modules rows shipped in dsh-base + dsh-web-app

The official launcher boots via tsx from source; this plugin's strict ./typert registration is specifically designed to work under both plain-node and tsx source launch (covered by tests/claims.e2e.mjs). If you run a different DSH version, re-run the test suite before reporting issues.

Install / Uninstall

# Install (recommended, same bundle mechanism as dsh-navbar)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:2768651338/dsh-plugin-manager#main

# Alternative: install from a zip (download from the Release page), unzip to a path without spaces, then:
dsh plugin --profile web add file:/<unzipped-dir>/dsh-plugin-manager

# Alternative: build locally (clone this repository)
pnpm build   # tsc + tsdown → lib/index.js (host half) and lib/client.js (browser half)
dsh plugin --profile web add file:./dsh-plugin-manager

After installing, restart DeepSeek Harness and press Ctrl+F5 once. Open Settings → Plugins → Plugin Manager. The lib/ artifacts are committed, so GitHub installs need no local build.

Action	Command
Upgrade	dsh plugin --profile web update (or re-run the add command), then restart DSH
Disable (temporarily)	Click 停用/Disable on the plugin's own card in Plugin Manager — the row stays installed
Remove	dsh plugin --profile web remove @2768651338/dsh-plugin-manager, then remove its rows from cordis.patch.yml if any

Quick Start

Minimal reproducible walkthrough (2 minutes):

# 1. Install
dsh plugin --profile web add github:2768651338/dsh-plugin-manager#main
# 2. Restart DeepSeek Harness, press Ctrl+F5 in the web page

3. Open Settings → Plugins → Plugin Manager — you see the full catalog with Chinese names and descriptions.
4. Toggle one plugin: search for trajectory, click 停用 (Disable) on the 轨迹视图 card → the row turns 已停用 within ~1 second (host-side effect; browser-side plugins fully unload after a page refresh).
5. Annotate one plugin: click 编辑备注 (Edit notes) on the 联网搜索 card, rename it and add a note, click 保存 (Save) → the card updates immediately; 恢复默认 (Restore default) reverts it.

Configuration

Item	Details
Plugin-level options	None — the plugin needs no configuration; install-and-use
Toggle file	~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml (global layer, hot-reloaded by DSH)
Notes override file	~/.dsh/plugin-manager/catalog.json (auto-created on first save)
Environment variables	None of its own; follows DSH's DSH_HOME resolution for the files above
Defaults	Unlisted plugins fall back to built-in catalog → English short name → fallback text
Sensitive items	None — no keys, tokens, or credentials are read or stored

Permissions & Data

Scope	What it touches
Files (read)	cordis.patch.yml, plugin-manager/catalog.json, the in-process loader plugin list, and the profile package.json (backup)
Files (write)	~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml (toggle rows), ~/.dsh/plugin-manager/catalog.json (notes), and the profile package.json (restore) — inside the DSH home only
Network	None. The browser half talks only to your local DSH /api RPC endpoint
Credentials	Never read
User data	Never read (no access to sessions, messages, or prompts)

Features

Feature	Description
📚 Chinese catalog	130+ built-in entries (name / description / category), fallback + per-plugin customization
🔘 One-click toggle	Writes ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml (global layer); DSH's HMR watcher re-applies within ~1 second; enabling writes an explicit disabled: false that overrides lower layers
✏️ In-UI notes	"Edit notes" on each card edits the Chinese name/description (~/.dsh/plugin-manager/catalog.json), with one-click restore-to-default
🛡️ Safety guards	Bootstrap/transport/settings-shell rows locked as "System"; !!js-expression rows labeled "Expression-controlled"
🔍 Search & filter	Search by name/description/module, filter by category, enabled-count summary
💾 Backup & restore	Export notes + plugin list (profile dependencies/bundles) + the enable/disable patch to one JSON file; import merges (never removes your existing entries) and prints the exact reinstall command

How It Works

Half	File	Role
Host	lib/index.js	Registers the pluginManager cordis service (Typert remote): list / setEnabled / setOverride / removeOverride / exportBackup / importBackup. Toggles use surgical patch-file editing — comments and !!js expressions preserved, file re-read before write to merge concurrent edits.
Host	lib/typert.host.js	Exports ./typert; the typert-loader registers it as strict invocation definitions. Crucial fix: under tsx source launch the gateway and an external plugin can hold two copies of typert-protocol — decorator markers are invisible across copies (symptom: every call 404s). Strict registration goes through the shared registry, sidestepping module-instance identity.
Browser	lib/client.js	Mounts the pluginManager remote namespace via the inject-free ctx.get() channel (avoids a self-mount deadlock) and registers the Plugin Manager tab in the settings.plugins.tab slot.

Runtime dependencies: @deepseek-ai/cordis and @deepseek-ai/dsh-typert-protocol resolve through DSH's profiles/node_modules fallback links — no extra pnpm downloads.

Custom Notes

Click Edit notes on any card. Saving with both fields empty removes that plugin's customization. Power users may still edit ~/.dsh/plugin-manager/catalog.json directly:

{
  "@dsh-external/dsh-navbar": { "name": "对话导航条", "desc": "对话区右缘的消息节点导航" }
}

Precedence: override file > built-in catalog > English short name.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
The tab doesn't appear	Restart DeepSeek Harness, then Ctrl+F5 the page (client bundles load at boot)
"暂时无法读取插件" with an error block	Read the gray error detail under the message: pluginManager.list failed: ... / transport failure ... and match it below
Error mentions 404 or invocation-unavailable	Your installed version is older than 0.2.0 (missing ./typert strict registration) — update and restart
cannot get property "remote.pluginManager" without inject	Version older than 0.2.2 — update and refresh
A toggle doesn't seem to work	Check ~/.dsh/cordis.patch.yml keeps row-block structure (a - dash at column 0); rows labeled "表达式控制" are !!js-controlled — edit the config file directly
pnpm warns peer range @deepseek-ai/*@* does not match resolved 0.1.0-rc.6	Harmless — DSH ships these as prerelease 0.1.0-rc.6 and semver * doesn't match prereleases. v0.4.1+ declares >=0.1.0-rc.0; for other plugins add peerDependencyRules.allowAny: ['@deepseek-ai/*'] to pnpm-workspace.yaml
Where are the logs?	DSH host startup log (launcher console) for host errors; browser DevTools (F12) console for client errors
Rollback	Remove the plugin's rows from cordis.patch.yml, use 恢复默认 for notes, or uninstall with the remove command above
