dsh-plugin-edit-message

English · 中文

DSH (DeepSeek Harness) Web GUI plugin: edit the last user message back into the composer after stopping a turn — no more retyping from scratch.

Why

Sending a message, stopping the reply, and wanting to re-ask with a small change currently means typing the whole prompt again. This plugin adds an "Edit last message" button to the composer tool row: it restores the tail user message text and focuses the input, ready to edit and send.

It is a client-side plugin — the conversation log stays append-only. Sending the edited text appends a new turn (the original message and the interrupted reply remain in the transcript). It never touches the host, the session log, or the agent loop.

Install

The plugin bundles as a dsh.bundle + dsh.client package. It works on any DSH setup that loads third-party bundles (source dsh web, DSH Desktop, custom profiles).

From npm (published — recommended)

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-edit-message

Restart the GUI (fully quit and reopen) after installing — client plugin bundles register at startup.

DSH Desktop users: Desktop's DSH_HOME lives under %APPDATA%\dsh-desktop\harness, so target that explicitly:

DSH_HOME="${APPDATA}/dsh-desktop/harness" \
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-edit-message

Then quit and reopen DSH Desktop.

From GitHub or a local checkout (unpublished builds)

# GitHub repository
dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://github.com/WyxBUPT-22/dsh-plugin-edit-message.git

# local checkout (pnpm install && pnpm run build first)
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-plugin-edit-message

From this source checkout

The repository is self-contained: devDependencies resolve the official harness client packages from the npm registry, so no deepseek-harness checkout is needed.

pnpm install     # pulls the official client packages from npm
pnpm run build   # emits lib/index.js + lib/client.js + lib/types
dsh plugin --profile <name> add /path/to/dsh-plugin-edit-message
dsh --profile <name>

Uninstall with dsh plugin --profile <name> remove dsh-plugin-edit-message. See docs/user/develop/basic/publish.md in the harness checkout for the dsh plugin workflow.

How it works

• Registers one client plugin (dsh.client manifest, platform: web) that contributes an entry to the official conversation.input.left composer tool-row slot (a documented multi-plugin list slot — zero official changes).
• The button renders only while the session is idle, a tail user/steering message exists, and that message is plain text (draft images are browser File-backed and cannot be resurrected from the durable log).
• On click: inputActions.setDraft(text) restores the text and the composer is focused. The plugin prefers inputActions.focus when the deployed runtime exposes it, otherwise falls back to the composer textarea (the GUI keeps exactly one).
• If you remove the plugin (dsh plugin remove dsh-plugin-edit-message), the surface disappears entirely — the tool row reverts to official chrome.

Differences from in-transcript editing (Codex style)

In-place replacement with a rewind of the log tail is a larger design (log-truncation semantics, compaction checkpoints, session log format, dual SDK projections) and is intentionally out of scope. This plugin provides the interaction value — edit the text, resend — with zero blast radius.

Develop

pnpm run typecheck   # tsc --noEmit (strict)
pnpm run test        # vitest (logic matrix + component behavior)
pnpm run build       # tsdown → lib/client.js + types

pnpm publish runs prepublishOnly (typecheck + test + build) first.
