概述
dsh-graph 是面向 DeepSeek Harness (DSH) 的目标看板插件。它将大模型智能体(Agent)的工作流组织为基于图的目标管理(Graph-based Goal Management)。
本插件采用一体化单包分发(npm 包名 dsh-graph),同时集成两大核心能力:
- Host 端:向 DSH Agent 提供覆盖目标全生命周期的 51 个
graph_*工具,并暴露/api/dsh-graph*REST API(支持看板投影、目标详情查询与写操作); - Client 端:无缝内嵌于 DSH Web 控制台(
conversation.view槽位)的浏览器二维泳道看板,提供直观的可视化交互与实时追踪。
数据以本地纯文本与事件流形式存储于工作区的 .dsh-graph/ 目录,Git 友好、天然支持协同对账与审计追踪。
安装方式
在 DSH 环境中运行以下命令即可安装:
dsh plugin --profile <profile-name> add dsh-graph
当前版本:v0.20.0(本次发布准备产物;0.20.0-alpha 为开发线版本串)。环境要求:Node.js ≥ 22(包内预编译 core 运行时)。宿主提供的核心包(@deepseek-ai/cordis、@deepseek-ai/schemastery、@deepseek-ai/dsh-settings)以 peerDependencies + peerDependenciesMeta.optional(DSH 生态惯例)声明,由 DSH 宿主环境提供,安装不产生 peer 告警;yaml 为插件自带运行依赖(声明在 dependencies 中),避免产生重复的核心包实例。
宿主兼容范围:engines.dsh 与 peerDependencies["@deepseek-ai/dsh-settings"] 同步声明 >=0.1.5-rc.2 <0.2.2-0(上界 -0 排除 0.2.2 的一切预发布与正式版;整条 0.2.1 线已在范围内),engines.dsh 供 dsh-market 等宿主感知型市场在卡片展示与安装/更新预检中读取。⚠️ 宿主的安装/启动门禁只读 peerDependencies、不读 engines.dsh,故两处必须同步放宽(只改 engines.dsh 无效)。实测通过的宿主:0.1.6-alpha.2 ~ 0.1.7-rc.2、0.2.0-rc.1、0.2.0-rc.2(负责人 2026-09-30 真机复验)、0.2.1-alpha.2(2026-10-09 隔离实例无豁免复验)。该区间顺带覆盖的 0.1.8 系在 npm 上从未发布(0.1.7-rc.2 之后直接跳版到 0.2.0-rc.1),故为空集,不构成未实测声明。
平台状态:
| 平台 | 本版状态 |
|---|---|
| Linux / WSL2 | ✅ 已实测通过(本版全量测试 fail 0) |
| 原生 Windows | ✅ 已实测通过:原生 Windows 真机(win32/x64)+ Node v24.21.0 + 宿主 DSH 0.2.0-rc.2,本版终版包上 T1–T5 通过 15 / 失败 0 / 告警 1、T3 看板文件系统生命周期 32/32 步(唯一告警为设计内:--tarball 轮包内无产品源码 ⇒ 台账对账另在仓库根完成,非缺陷)。执行经 WSL↔Windows 互操作,该链路与纯原生用户场景的差异已如实登记(platform-gate §7.8)。 |
| macOS | ⏳ 本版未验证:v0.20.0 发布候选包尚未在原生 macOS 上执行真机门禁 ⇒ 不得读出「已通过」。历史记录见 platform-gate §7.4 / §7.7,同样只覆盖 v0.19.8 及更早的产品代码。 |
三平台使用同一安装包。已知限制:① macOS 默认文件系统 APFS 大小写不敏感 —— 仅大小写不同的目标编号 / 版本泳道会落到同一实体,请勿只用大小写区分;② macOS 上若工作区路径经显式传入且含符号链接(如位于 /tmp、/var 之下),会被拒绝并报 graph root symlink is not allowed;由 process.cwd() 推导的路径不受影响。
最新亮点(v0.20.0)
- 支持 DSH 0.2.1 系宿主:宿主兼容范围放宽为
>=0.1.5-rc.2 <0.2.2-0—— 上界-0排除0.2.2的一切预发布与正式版,整条0.2.1线纳入范围,并已在隔离实例上以0.2.1-alpha.2未使用任何版本豁免完成安装与启动。⚠️ 宿主的安装/启动门禁只读peerDependencies、不读engines.dsh,两处声明必须同步放宽——只改前者无效,安装期仍会被硬拒绝。 - 升级宿主后旧设置不再丢:旧
settings.yaml里的dsh-graph节会一次性、幂等地补进新的dsh-graph-host条目(重复执行不会重复导入,读取仍保留回退);该升级路径已在真实宿主上做过端到端验证。 - Agent Teams 协作模式(默认关闭):同一次执行内可扇出多个成员并行推进,并指定独立验证者对结果交叉核验;开关关闭时提示词与行为与旧版逐字一致。
- 不再产出坏数据、也不再静默失效:设置写入的父级不是块式映射时直接拒绝(不再返回成功却写出非法 YAML);工作树归属标记改为原子写入,中途失败不再留下半个标记、导致清理面保护静默失效。
- 设计过程看得见、状态不用猜:看板标题栏新增「Graph 设计」入口,弹窗内嵌两张可交互流程图(随包发布、经只读路由提供),并有中英双语文档说明开发流程;新一轮对话开始时先显示「正在处理…」占位,不必盯着空白等首字。

升级残留自检与清理
现象(外部报告):升级宿主后 Web GUI 冷启动报
web boot: N entry did not activate / <插件名>: failed —— 插件的 host 半边(graph_* 工具)正常、热加载也正常,只有浏览器半边不激活。
成因:dsh.client.inject 不是「名录」,而是加载顺序边。浏览器端 loader
(@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-modules/lib/client.js)只对 inject 中已存在于客户端清单的包名做前置加载,
名字不在清单里就静默跳过。而 @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime 自 dsh 0.2.x 起不再随宿主分发
(在 dsh 0.1.5-rc.2 / 0.1.7-rc.2 / 0.2.0-rc.2 / 0.2.1-alpha.2 的安装树里均无此包),但它的包清单仍声明 dsh.client:
升级过程中若这个旧条目/旧副本残留在 profile 里,它会重新变成一条客户端清单行;该行的加载失败会被级联成
client-modules: "<插件>" not loaded because dependency "…" failed,把任何仍声明它的插件一起拖死。
干净安装没有这一行,所以不复现。dsh-graph 已删除该声明(即使残留仍在,本插件也不再是它的消费者)。
首选动作:把 dsh-graph 升级到含本修复的版本即可,残留无需处理。 含本修复的版本已不再声明该死引用 ⇒ 无论 profile 里是否还残留旧副本,本插件都不再是它的消费者,也不会被它拖死。下面的自检只是「想确认现状」时的只读排查;清理残留是可选的进阶动作。
自检(全部只读;下述命令已在隔离实例 dsh 0.2.0-rc.2 / 0.1.7-rc.2 上实测):
把 <DSH_HOME> 换成你的 DSH home:web 版默认是 ~/.dsh(也可由 DSH_HOME 环境变量指定);桌面版是另一套路径,请以该壳的配置/日志里显示的 profile 目录为准。
# ① 本插件的声明 —— 期望 3 项,且不含 dsh-client-runtime
node -e 'console.log(JSON.stringify(require(process.argv[1]).dsh.client.inject))' \
"<DSH_HOME>/profiles/web/node_modules/dsh-graph/package.json"
# ② profile 清单里是否还列着它 —— 期望输出 0
# (注意:grep -c 在计数为 0 时退出码是 1,看打印出的数字即可,不要看退出码)
grep -c dsh-client-runtime "<DSH_HOME>/profiles/web/package.json"
# ③ 整个 DSH home 内是否还有名为 dsh-client-runtime 的目录 —— 期望无输出
find "<DSH_HOME>" -type d -name dsh-client-runtime 2>/dev/null
# ④(可选,仅在 Web 版且实例正在运行时)客户端清单里是否还有该行 —— 期望无输出
# 「dsh web」启动行会打印带 token 的 URL,把它原样填进 <URL>
curl -sL -b "" "<URL>" | grep -o '"@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime"' | head -1
隔离实例实测结果(dsh 0.2.0-rc.2):
- ① →
["@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings","@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-primitives","@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-sidebar-right"] - ② →
0 - ③ → 无输出
- ④ → 无输出;
curl返回 200、35125 字节(同一命令对清单里确实存在的行名如@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings能打印出来) - 命令有效性反证(都不是恒真空跑):在一份确实含该名字的清单文件上 ② 打印
1;在 profile 里放入名为dsh-client-runtime的目录后 ③ 确实打印出该路径(随即移除)
清理(可选,先备份):仅当你确实想清干净、且 ②非 0 或 ③有输出时:先备份 profile,再删除 ③ 打印出的残留目录(并在 ② 命中的清单里去掉对应条目),然后重启宿主 —— 客户端包元数据在激活期缓存,增删客户端插件必须重启才生效。风险提示:在 live profile 上直接删目录/改清单有改坏环境的风险;更稳妥的替代是重装同版本 dsh-graph 或新建一个干净 profile。自行清理前务必留备份,异常时用备份复原。
未验证:无桌面壳环境可用(@deepseek-ai/dsh-desktop 在 npm 为 E404)。上述现象与成因链引用外部报告与宿主源码,
不声称已复现桌面壳症状。
核心特性
- 四阶段生命周期状态机:
引擎严格约束状态迁移:
draft → planning → collecting → ready → in_progress → review → delivered(任何阶段均可标记进入blocked阻塞状态)。 - 判据先于执行(Criteria Before Execution): 在目标派发执行前必须登记明确的质量验收判据,最终评审严格依照逐条判据核验交付物,杜绝模糊交付。
- 结构化上下文卡片:
支持文本(Text)、文件(File)、图片(Image)、数据(Data)等多种上下文类型。经历
empty → collecting → filled → reviewed闭环生命周期,为执行子代理提供精确的上下文种子。 - 二维泳道看板: 横向按生命周期阶段划分列,纵向按排期划分版本(Version)、暂存池(Backlog)与独立目标(Standalone)泳道;支持拖拽排期。
- 目标间关系标记: 目标之间可标记「取代 / 调整 / 补充 / 相关」四类关系(也可解除),关系只记在目标文件(frontmatter)这一处真源;看板卡片显示关系徽标,目标弹窗在「目标描述」下方直接列出关系清单(含跨版本与已归档标注)。
- 流畅跨会话交接(Handoff & Supervisor Claim):
支持生成包含看板投影、长期记忆与关键环境事实的
HANDOFF.md,换会话后新 Supervisor 可幂等认领上下文并快速接管。 - 现代交互与双主题适配:
完整适配深色与浅色双套主题(自动跟随 DSH 全局主题变量);外部数据更新时支持微光动画提醒(支持系统的
prefers-reduced-motion无障碍降级);弹窗拖拽防误关。
设计哲学(面向首次接触本插件的用户)
想先弄懂「dsh-graph 为什么这样组织开发」——目标生命周期与状态机、判据门禁与人工 gate、派发与隔离三件套、 attempt 与结果面、独立复核与留痕真源、版本泳道与发布红线、记忆分级、事件先行——请读 设计哲学(中文): 它逐条给出代码真源引用,并附 archify 交互式图(内联静态预览 + 可交互 HTML);图只画今天已实现的 状态流转与角色分工,图内不含文件、函数或内部产物名,1.0 路线见文档 §13。

浏览器看板说明
内嵌于 DSH Web 界面:
- 二维泳道布局:清晰展现多个版本的推进节奏,支持灵活查看不同泳道和阶段;
- 分级评审策略支持:通过
graph_get_settings/graph_update_settings配置项目实际的review.regions/review.contract_paths/review.non_product_prefixes,未登记区域安全升级 strict,空契约默认 M1 不触发; - 实时流式更新:卡片与顶部状态栏直观反映 Agent 汇报的最新执行状态;外部文件变更触发动画闪烁;
- 丰富弹窗与抽屉交互:点击卡片可展开目标详情弹窗,查看质量判据、上下文卡片与 Attempt 历史。
侧边栏用法
右侧栏的「看板」与会话页的「看板」页签是同一份实现——同一个看板组件、同一套头部与窄档逻辑,两侧完全一致(零 host 门控),任选其一即可。
- 入口:在会话里打开右侧栏 → 点「看板」磁贴;打开的看板面板会成为右侧栏顶部的一个页签常驻,随时切回。
⋯ 工具:刷新 / 标签筛选 / 记忆 / 项目知识库(共享条目)/ 看板设置 / 已归档。工具条按头部实测宽度装不下自动折叠为这一项(不是写死的窗口断点)。[🏷️]版本管理:角落的方形图标按钮(可访问名称为「🏷️ 版本管理」),点开版本管理抽屉;紧邻其右是同一行等高的创建版本。- 版本选择器:位于泳道行
[+](新建目标)左侧,切换当前显示的泳道(具体版本 / Backlog / 独立目标)。 - 窄档行为(分档依据是看板根容器实测宽度——即看板组件自身元素的
clientWidth,不是窗口宽度、也不是浏览器视口宽度):≥ 480px(宽档):多泳道横向并排,各版本 / Backlog / 独立目标可同时查看;< 480px(单泳道档):阶段列由横向并排改为纵向堆叠,泳道内容由版本选择器决定(具体版本 / Backlog / 独立目标三选一;工作区一个版本都没有时,默认落点就是「独立目标」,选择器当前项显示「独立目标」);该档没有版本折叠开关(收起来等于空板),并同时把工具条强制折叠为「⋯ 工具」、隐藏 DEBUG 行。- 怎么把看板放进
< 480px:宿主页签的宽度由页签布局模式决定,不是拖出来的——实测(1600px 视口)单页签 719px、页签上的分栏之后每页签 359px(该档随窗口宽度变化)、全屏799px。所以默认单页签宽度(719px)落在宽档,此时不会出现单泳道;需要单泳道档时用页签上的分栏,或把窗口收窄到看板面板实测宽度 <480px。进入后一眼可验:六个阶段块纵向堆叠,且泳道标题右侧出现版本选择器(当前项为具体版本 / Backlog / 独立目标)。 - 宽档残留(实测):宽档网格的最小宽度实测约 956px,所以看板面板实测宽度在这之下时(例如默认单页签 719px),宽档网格仍会横向滚动、把「确认 / 批量接受」列推到可视区外;真正消除横向滚动的是单泳道档(<480px)。
- 版本选择器只在单泳道档渲染:宽档下整个看板没有版本选择器(该元素不渲染)。因此宽档里能看到的「全部版本」只可能来自打开的下拉选项列表,而不是当前选中项;单泳道档未显式选择任何视图时,当前项是「独立目标」而不是「全部版本」。
效果截图见仓库 screenshot/sidebar-kanban.png(虚构演示数据 nebula-notes,右侧栏宽度落在 < 480px 单泳道档);本 npm 包不包含仓库的 screenshot/ 目录,故此处只给出仓库路径。
Profile 全局设置(子代理默认值)
子代理默认 provider / model、推理档位、执行模式、提示词语言与补充提示词是 profile 级全局默认 —— 写入当前 DSH profile、跨 workspace 生效,且 workspace 的 project.yaml 明确配置与单次派发参数都更优先。
同一个设置页在两个入口都能打开,两处是同一份实现、读写同一份 profile 配置:
- 设置 → 看板设置:左侧设置导航里的独立设置页;
- 右侧栏 → 插件 → dsh-graph:组合包详情页里的配置区(按包名
dsh-graph绑定)。
宿主未提供某个位面时(精简 profile / 旧宿主),对应席位自动不出现,看板与工具不受影响;两处都取不到设置服务时,页面如实提示当前 profile 未暴露设置服务,而不是假装已启用。配置文件落在 profile 的设置文档里(0.2.0 系宿主为 profile 的 cordis.patch.yml 中 dsh-graph-host 条目,0.1.6 系宿主为 $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml 的 dsh-graph 命名空间)。
数据存储说明
插件数据保存在当前工作区下的 .dsh-graph/ 目录:
- 自动初始化:首次在工作区运行工具时自动生成数据骨架,不包含多余 Demo 数据;
- Git 友好:所有数据由纯文本 YAML/Markdown 与只追加(append-only)的
events.jsonl组成; - 事件流对账:
events.jsonl记录每一次状态流转与操作,是唯一事实来源,可通过graph_rebuild随时对账; - 多 Worktree 适配:Git Linked Worktrees 自动解析归一到主工作树的同一
.dsh-graph/根目录。

Overview
dsh-graph is a goal-oriented kanban plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH), bringing Graph-based Goal Management into Agent workflows.
Distributed as a single unified package (npm package name: dsh-graph), it provides both halves out-of-the-box:
- Host Side: Exposes 51
graph_*tools to DSH Agents covering the entire goal lifecycle, along with/api/dsh-graph*REST endpoints for board projections, goal details, and mutations; - Client Side: A browser 2D swimlane kanban board integrated into DSH Web (the
conversation.viewslot) for intuitive visualization and real-time tracking.
All data is stored locally as human-readable files and an append-only event log under .dsh-graph/, making it Git-friendly, easily auditable, and collaborative.
Installation
Install the plugin using the DSH CLI:
dsh plugin --profile <profile-name> add dsh-graph
Current version: v0.20.0 (this release-preparation artifact; 0.20.0-alpha was the development version string — not yet published to npm). Requirements: Node.js ≥ 22 (includes the precompiled core runtime). Core packages provided by the DSH host (@deepseek-ai/cordis, @deepseek-ai/schemastery, @deepseek-ai/dsh-settings) are declared under peerDependencies with peerDependenciesMeta.optional (standard DSH ecosystem convention) and provided by the host runtime without peer warnings; yaml is retained in dependencies as a plugin-specific runtime dependency, preventing duplicate core package instances.
Host compatibility range: engines.dsh and peerDependencies["@deepseek-ai/dsh-settings"] declare >=0.1.5-rc.2 <0.2.2-0 in lockstep (the -0 upper bound excludes every 0.2.2 prerelease and final release; the entire 0.2.1 line is now inside the range); engines.dsh is what host-aware markets such as dsh-market read for card display and install/update pre-flight. ⚠️ The host's install/boot gate reads peerDependencies only, never engines.dsh, so both fields must be widened together (widening engines.dsh alone has no effect). Hosts verified: 0.1.6-alpha.2 through 0.1.7-rc.2, 0.2.0-rc.1, 0.2.0-rc.2 (verified by the maintainer on 2026-09-30), and 0.2.1-alpha.2 (verified on 2026-10-09 in an isolated instance with no version exemption). The 0.1.8 line incidentally covered by that range was never published on npm (versions jump straight from 0.1.7-rc.2 to 0.2.0-rc.1), so it is an empty set and adds no unverified claim.
Platform status:
| Platform | Status for this release |
|---|---|
| Linux / WSL2 | ✅ Verified on-device (this release's full test suite: 0 failures) |
| Native Windows | ✅ Verified on-device: native Windows (win32/x64) + Node v24.21.0 + host DSH 0.2.0-rc.2; on this release's final package T1–T5 15 passed / 0 failed / 1 warning, T3 kanban filesystem lifecycle 32/32 steps (the single warning is by design: the --tarball round carries no product sources, so the OS-call-site ledger is reconciled at the repository root instead — not a defect). Execution went through WSL↔Windows interop; the differences between that link and a purely native user scenario are recorded honestly in platform-gate §7.8. |
| macOS | ⏳ Not verified for this release: the v0.20.0 release candidate has not yet run the on-device gate on native macOS ⇒ must not be read as "passed". Earlier records are in platform-gate §7.4 / §7.7 and likewise cover v0.19.8 and older product code only. |
All three platforms share the same package. Known limitations: (1) APFS, the macOS default, is case-insensitive — entries that differ only by case resolve to the same entity, so do not rely on case alone to distinguish goal ids or version lanes; (2) on macOS a workspace path that is explicitly supplied and contains a symlink (e.g. under /tmp or /var) is rejected with graph root symlink is not allowed; paths derived from process.cwd() are unaffected.
What's new (v0.20.0)
- Supports the DSH 0.2.1 host line: the host compatibility range is widened to
>=0.1.5-rc.2 <0.2.2-0— the-0upper bound excludes every0.2.2prerelease and final release, bringing the entire0.2.1line into range — and was verified by installing and booting on0.2.1-alpha.2in an isolated instance with no version exemption. ⚠️ The host's install/boot gate readspeerDependenciesonly, neverengines.dsh, so both declarations must be widened together — changing the former alone has no effect and installation is still hard-rejected. - Your old settings survive a host upgrade: the legacy
dsh-graphsection insettings.yamlis folded into the newdsh-graph-hostentry once and idempotently (repeat runs never re-import, and reads keep a fallback); the upgrade path was verified end-to-end on a real host. - Agent Teams collaboration mode (off by default): a single run can fan out to several members working in parallel and appoint an independent verifier to cross-check the result; with the switch off, prompts and behaviour are byte-identical to the previous version.
- No more bad data, no more silent failures: a settings write whose parent is not a block mapping is refused outright (instead of reporting success while writing invalid YAML); the worktree ownership marker is now written atomically, so an interrupted write can no longer leave a half marker that silently disables cleanup protection.
- The design process is visible and status needs no guessing: the board title bar gains a "Graph Design" entry whose dialog embeds two interactive process diagrams (shipped with the package, served through a read-only route), alongside bilingual documentation of the development flow; and a new round now shows a "processing…" placeholder immediately, so you are no longer staring at a blank line waiting for the first token.
See the CHANGELOG for the full history. Official releases are distributed via npm and the dsh-market ecosystem.
Upgrade-residue self-check and cleanup
Symptom (externally reported):
after upgrading the host, a Web GUI cold start reports web boot: N entry did not activate / <plugin>: failed — the plugin's
host half (graph_* tools) works and hot reload works, but its browser half never activates.
Cause: dsh.client.inject is not a directory listing, it is a load-order edge. The browser-side loader
(@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-modules/lib/client.js) preloads only those inject names that already exist in the client
manifest, and silently skips the rest. @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime is no longer shipped with the host since dsh 0.2.x
(absent from the install trees of dsh 0.1.5-rc.2 / 0.1.7-rc.2 / 0.2.0-rc.2 / 0.2.1-alpha.2), yet its package manifest still declares dsh.client.
If an old entry/copy of it survives an upgrade in your profile, it becomes a client manifest row again; that row's load failure
cascades into client-modules: "<plugin>" not loaded because dependency "…" failed, dragging down every plugin that still declares it.
A clean install has no such row, which is why it does not reproduce. dsh-graph has dropped that declaration — even if the
residue is still present, this plugin is no longer one of its consumers.
Preferred action: just upgrade dsh-graph to a build that contains this fix — the residue needs no handling. A fixed build no longer declares the dead name, so whether or not an old copy survives in your profile, this plugin is no longer one of its consumers and can no longer be dragged down by it. The self-check below is only a read-only way to inspect the current state; cleaning up the residue is an optional advanced step.
Self-check (read-only; every command below was measured on isolated instances of dsh 0.2.0-rc.2 / 0.1.7-rc.2):
Replace <DSH_HOME> with your DSH home: for the Web build it defaults to ~/.dsh (or wherever DSH_HOME points); the desktop build
uses a different path — take the profile directory shown in that shell's configuration or logs.
# (1) This plugin's declaration — expect three names, without dsh-client-runtime
node -e 'console.log(JSON.stringify(require(process.argv[1]).dsh.client.inject))' \
"<DSH_HOME>/profiles/web/node_modules/dsh-graph/package.json"
# (2) Does the profile manifest still list it? — expect the number 0
# (note: `grep -c` exits 1 when the count is 0 — read the printed number, not the exit code)
grep -c dsh-client-runtime "<DSH_HOME>/profiles/web/package.json"
# (3) Is there still a directory named dsh-client-runtime anywhere under the DSH home? — expect no output
find "<DSH_HOME>" -type d -name dsh-client-runtime 2>/dev/null
# (4) Optional, Web build with a running instance only: is it still a row in the client manifest? — expect no output
# `dsh web` prints a tokenized URL on startup; paste it verbatim as <URL>
curl -sL -b "" "<URL>" | grep -o '"@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime"' | head -1
Measured on an isolated instance (dsh 0.2.0-rc.2):
- (1) →
["@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings","@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-primitives","@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-sidebar-right"] - (2) →
0 - (3) → no output
- (4) → no output, while
curlreturned 200 with 35125 bytes (the same command does print a row name that is present in the manifest, e.g.@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings) - Command-sanity counter-checks (neither command is vacuously silent): (2) prints
1on a manifest file that really contains the name, and (3) did print the path after a directory nameddsh-client-runtimewas deliberately placed into the profile (removed again immediately).
Cleanup (optional, back up first): only if you really want a clean slate and (2) is non-zero or (3) has output: back up the profile first, then remove the residue directory printed by (3) (and drop the matching entry from the manifest that (2) flagged), then restart the host — client package metadata is cached at activation time, so adding/removing client plugins only takes effect after a restart. Risk note: deleting directories or editing the manifest of a live profile can break your environment; the safer alternatives are reinstalling the same dsh-graph version or creating a fresh, clean profile. Always keep a backup before doing this yourself, and restore from it if anything misbehaves.

Key Features
- Four-Phase Lifecycle State Machine:
Enforced by the core engine:
draft → planning → collecting → ready → in_progress → review → delivered(with ablockedescape hatch available at any stage). - Criteria Before Execution: Acceptance criteria must be explicitly defined prior to execution. Deliverables in the review phase are verified strictly against individual criteria, preventing ambiguous delivery.
- Context Cards:
Supports Text, File, Image, and Data cards. Follows a structured lifecycle (
empty → collecting → filled → reviewed) to seed precise task context for execution subagents. - 2D Swimlane Board: Columns represent lifecycle stages, while horizontal swimlanes organize goals by Version, Backlog, and Standalone categories, complete with drag-and-drop scheduling.
- Graded Review & Policy Calibration:
Configure project review parameters (
review.regions,review.contract_paths,review.non_product_prefixes) viagraph_get_settingsandgraph_update_settings. Product changes in unregistered regions safely escalate to strict; empty contract paths default to not triggering M1. - Relations Between Goals: Goals can be linked with four relation kinds — supersedes / amends / extends / related — and unlinked again; relations live in exactly one source of truth (the goal's frontmatter). Cards show relation badges, and the goal dialog lists the full inventory under "Goal description" (cross-version and archived peers flagged).
- Seamless Session Handoff:
Generate
HANDOFF.mdsummarizing board projections, long-term memory, and environment facts. A new session can claim the Supervisor role idempotently viagraph_claim_supervisor. - Modern UI & Dual-Theme Support:
Full Dark and Light theme adaptation following DSH variables. Subtle pulse animations highlight external updates (with
prefers-reduced-motionaccessibility support); drag-safe modal text selection.
Design Philosophy (for readers new to this plugin)
To understand why dsh-graph organises development the way it does — goal lifecycle and state machine, criteria gate and human gate, dispatch and the isolation triad, attempts and the results surface, independent review and its source of truth, version lanes and release red lines, memory grading, event-first writes — read Design Philosophy (English): every behavioural claim carries a code citation, and the document ships archify interactive diagrams — an inline static preview plus an explorable HTML page — that draw only what is implemented today (state flow and role split, with no file, function or internal artifact names inside the figures; the 1.0 roadmap lives in §13).

Browser Kanban UI
Embedded directly within the DSH Web console:
- 2D Swimlane Layout: View the progress of multiple versions and categories simultaneously;
- Live Streaming Updates: Cards and the top status bar stream real-time execution updates; external file edits trigger visual highlights;
- Interactive Modals & Drawers: Click cards to inspect quality criteria, context cards, attempt histories, and detailed instructions.
Sidebar Usage
The sidebar's "Kanban" tile and the conversation page's "Kanban" tab are the same implementation — the same board component and the same header / narrow-width logic, fully identical on both sides (zero host gating). Either entry point works.
- Entry: open the right sidebar in a session → click the "Kanban" tile; the opened board then stays as a persistent tab at the top of the sidebar, one click away.
⋯ Tools: Refresh / Tag filter / Memory / Project Knowledge Base (shared entries) / Board settings / Archived. The toolbar collapses into this single item automatically when it does not fit the measured header width (not a hard-coded viewport breakpoint).[🏷️]Version Management: the square icon button in the corner (accessible name "🏷️ Version Management") opens the version-management drawer; immediately to its right sitsCreate Version, same row and equal height.- Version selector: sits to the left of the lane-row
[+](new goal) and switches the lane currently shown (a specific version / Backlog / Standalone). - Narrow-width behaviour (tiered by the measured width of the board's root container — the board element's own
clientWidth, not the window width and not the browser viewport width):≥ 480px(wide tier): multiple swimlanes side by side, so versions / Backlog / Standalone are all visible at once;< 480px(single-lane tier): stage columns switch from side-by-side to vertically stacked, and the lane shown is chosen by the version selector (exactly one of a specific version / Backlog / Standalone; when the workspace has no versions at all, the default landing lane is "Standalone", and the selector's current item reads "Standalone"); this tier has no per-lane collapse toggle (collapsing would leave an empty board), and it also forces the toolbar into⋯ Toolsand hides the DEBUG line.- How to get the board into
< 480px: the host tab's width comes from the tab layout mode, not from dragging — measured at a 1600px viewport: single tab 719px, 359px per tab after the tab'sSplitmode (this mode scales with the window width), 799px inFullscreen. So the default single-tab width (719px) lands in the wide tier and no single lane appears; use the tab'sSplitmode, or narrow the window until the board panel measures <480px. Once there, it is obvious: the six stage blocks are stacked vertically and the version selector appears next to the lane title (current item: a specific version / Backlog / Standalone). - Residual in the wide tier (measured): the wide-tier grid's minimum width is about 956px, so whenever the board panel measures less than that (e.g. the default single tab at 719px) the wide grid still scrolls horizontally and pushes the confirm / bulk-accept column out of view; the tier that actually removes horizontal scrolling is the single-lane one (<480px).
- The version selector is rendered only in the single-lane tier: in the wide tier the board has no version selector at all. So an "All versions" string seen in the wide tier can only come from an opened dropdown option list, never from the current selection; and in the single-lane tier, before any explicit view choice, the current item is "Standalone" — not "All versions".
See screenshot/sidebar-kanban.png in the repository for a screenshot (fictional demo data nebula-notes, sidebar width in the < 480px single-lane tier); this npm package does not ship the repository's screenshot/ directory, so only the repository path is given here.
Profile-wide settings (subagent defaults)
The subagent default provider / model, reasoning effort, execution mode, prompt language and supplementary prompt are profile-wide defaults: they are written to the current DSH profile, apply across workspaces, and an explicit project.yaml value or a per-dispatch argument still takes precedence.
The same settings page opens from two places, both backed by one implementation reading and writing the same profile configuration:
- Settings → Kanban Settings: the standalone page in the settings navigation;
- Right sidebar → Plugins → dsh-graph: the configuration block on the bundle page (bound by the package name
dsh-graph).
When the host does not expose a given seat (slim profile / older host) that seat simply does not appear and the board and tools are unaffected; when no settings service is reachable from either of them the page says so instead of pretending the settings are live. Values live in the profile's settings document (on 0.2.0-line hosts the dsh-graph-host entry in the profile's cordis.patch.yml; on 0.1.6-line hosts the dsh-graph namespace in $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml).
Data Storage
All data resides in .dsh-graph/ within your workspace:
- Zero-Config Auto-Init: Generates directory structure automatically upon first tool call without dummy demo data;
- Git Friendly: Managed as plain YAML/Markdown files and an append-only
events.jsonlevent log; - Auditability:
events.jsonlserves as the authoritative single source of truth, reconcilable at any time viagraph_rebuild; - Multi-Worktree Support: Git Linked Worktrees automatically resolve to the canonical graph root in the primary worktree.
