dsh-zen-mode

禅模式 for DeepSeek Harness: a full-screen minimal page that hides the whole DSH Web GUI while your tasks keep running, so waiting on an agent stops costing you attention.

DSH 的任务在禅模式期间照常执行，不暂停、不打断。你只看到计时、期间完成的会话名，和一个退出按钮。

计时默认是正计时：从 00:00 开始累计，不会自动结束。想要番茄钟那种到点自动退出的，在设置里切成倒计时。

Install

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add dsh-zen-mode

Restart the page (or the client) once so the browser loads the new UI module. The plugin is a bundle: it appends itself to dsh.profile.bundles, and no manual cordis.patch.yml edit is needed.

To remove it:

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> remove dsh-zen-mode

Use

Click 禅模式 / Zen mode in the sidebar, under 插件 and 自动化任务. The whole GUI is covered at once.

Part	What it shows
Left	The timer. Count-up is the default: it starts at 00:00 and accumulates, widening to h:mm:ss past an hour. Switch to count-down in Settings and it starts at the configured length and exits at zero.
Right	已完成会话 / Completed sessions, then the names of sessions that finished during this round, in completion order. The heading and the whole column are absent while nothing has finished.
Bottom-right	The exit button, and beside it the mascot animation.

Nothing else is visible or reachable: no session list, no composer, no settings, no toasts. You cannot open a session without leaving zen mode first.

Mascot

The bottom-right corner shows a small looping animation. It is decoration only: it never takes a click, and a deployment whose Host serves no mascot route simply hides it. The shipped mascot.webp is an animated WebP, 160×160 at 15 fps over 5 seconds (about 283 KB); the original source was a 40 MB, 1280×1280, 30 fps GIF.

Timer direction and length

Settings → General → 计时方式 / Timer direction picks between 正计时 / Count up (the default) and 倒计时 / Count down. The choice applies to the next round.

Count-down additionally shows 倒计时时长 / Countdown length: whole minutes from 1 to 120, 25 by default, restarted on every entry. The field is hidden while count-up is selected, because it has no meaning there.

Exit

Four independent ways out, so the page cannot trap you:

1. The 退出 / Exit button.
2. Esc.
3. The countdown reaching 00:00 — automatic exit. This exists only in count-down mode; a count-up round never ends on its own, so leaving is always explicit.
4. Reloading the page. The active flag lives only in page memory, so a reload always restores DSH.

A failed unmount also cannot trap you: shortly after an explicit exit, if the page is somehow still covered, the plugin reloads the document.

What counts as a finished session

A session is listed when its running state goes from running to idle. Subagent sessions are excluded. The plugin does not distinguish a normal completion from an aborted, blocked, or failed turn — every stop is listed the same way, because the page only answers "which task can I stop waiting on".

Only completions inside the current round are listed. Sessions that were already finished when you entered are not replayed.

Boundaries

• Pure overlay. Entering or leaving writes no session log entry, no setting, and no model-visible input. No session is paused, interrupted, or inspected beyond its public running state.
• Global, not per-session. One page covers the whole client. Multiple browser tabs each run their own round.
• Leaving lands on the conversation. The sidebar row is a panel entry, and the client exposes no public "current panel" read, so the exit restores the conversation rather than whichever panel you were on before.
• Coverage is the Web viewport. The desktop window's native title bar buttons and browser-level shortcuts (reload, close tab, DevTools) stay outside it.
• No telemetry. The plugin reports nothing anywhere.

Compatibility

Tested against DSH 0.2.1-rc.2 and 0.2.1-rc.5 on Windows. The plugin declares no dependency on any @deepseek-ai/dsh-* package: the browser half resolves React from the host's module table and registers through the slot API only, so it is not pinned to one DSH release. It needs a DSH build whose Web client provides sidebar.panellist, shell.overlay, main, and settings.general.item.

If the plugin list reports it as missing

That state means the installed copy is a link: to a directory that no longer exists — a local-development setup whose target was moved or deleted, not a version incompatibility. Reinstall from the registry, which carries its own copy and cannot dangle:

dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> remove dsh-zen-mode
dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add dsh-zen-mode

Files

File	Role
index.js	Host half: serves mascot.webp at /zen-mode/mascot.webp, since a client bundle cannot reach a sibling file.
client.js	Browser half: the sidebar row, the center-panel trigger, the full-screen page, and the Settings row.
mascot.webp	The bottom-right animation.
cordis.patch.yml	Bundle patch inserting the zen-mode Host row.
locale/*.json	Plugin title and description shown in the plugin list.
icon.svg	Plugin artwork.
test-logic.mjs	Keyless logic test: drives the controller with a controlled clock and a stub slot runtime. Run node test-logic.mjs; it is not part of the published package.
