Review round three, credentials half. dsh-atomic-write grows the cross-process writer-lock primitive (withFileLock: wx sentinel, bounded backoff, stale takeover via onStaleBreak, deadline failure) plus a dirMode option, and settings-local migrates its private copy to it; both providers now create harness-home directories 0700. credentials-local reuses the reviewed settings-local shape: watcher reloads and line edits share one settled operation chain; every write re-reads the document under the lock and publishes unobserved external entries before editing, so an edit inside the debounce window (or another process's write) can never be overwritten; the watcher's ready signal queues one reconcile closing the startup gap. The line editor is now physical-line aware: continuation lines of a quoted multi-line value are never mistaken for assignments, untouched lines keep their exact bytes (CRLF included), an edited line keeps its own terminator, and appends use the document's dominant ending. A multi-line entry reports writable: false, matching what set() would do. The Credentials base class owns a contained notifyUpdated fan-out: providers publish only after the commit, every listener runs, sync throws and async rejections are logged without failing the committed write, and INVARIANT-coded failures rethrow after the fan-out.
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.
