The TTFT and tok/s readings divide by measured wall time, so they are not
reproducible: the same replayed scenario yielded 69 and 70 tok/s on
consecutive local runs, and a 3 ms replayed stream reads 26333 tok/s. Baking
those into committed goldens made the Web lane flaky by construction, and the
goldens for the readings themselves were never refreshed.
Three fixes, then a refresh:
The footer's decorative dots are `aria-hidden`, so the readings concatenated
into one accessible string — `Ran for 13sTTFT 0.2s12 tok/s`. That is a real
defect on its own (a reader hears one run-on instead of three facts) and it
also denied `{{duration}}` the word boundary it matches on, so even the
previously-stable `Ran for` duration started leaking raw. The separators now
carry flanking spaces.
`normalizeAria` gains `{{throughput}}` beside `{{duration}}`, and its duration
alternation accepts the stats line's compact `2m42s` as well as the
message-chrome template's `2m 42s` — the compact form had no pattern at all,
which is why `LLM 382m39s` survived the first refresh.
Refreshed 17 goldens. They also record that the stats line's `LLM` group now
renders at all: it folds assistant `timing`, which the live transcript adapter
only began attaching in this branch, so the group was previously dead in Chat.
Verified by running the lane in replay three times after the refresh: 41/41
files green each time, goldens untouched. Before this change two consecutive
runs disagreed on both the values and the failure count.
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.
Internal testing notice
DeepSeek Harness is under internal testing. Features and interfaces may change.
The internal build uploads all Session Logs by default to help diagnose reported problems. Set DSH_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 to disable telemetry. Send feedback through the internal WeChat group.
Install
Clone the repository, then run the installer:
git clone <repo-url>
cd deepseek-harness
scripts/install.sh
The installer requires git and Node ^22.19 || >=24, offers to install pnpm when it is missing, prompts for a DeepSeek API key, builds the required repository artifacts, and launches the Web UI.
The default active checkout is ~/.dsh/source/current, and the launcher is linked into ~/.local/bin. Re-run the installer to update. scripts/install.sh owns alternate locations, update mechanics, and recovery options.
Use DeepSeek Harness
Web UI
For the recommended local interface, choose Web UI when the installer finishes. To start it later, or after updating the active checkout, build the repository and run:
(cd ~/.dsh/source/current && pnpm run build)
dsh web
The path above is the installer's default. If you set DSH_SOURCE or DSH_CURRENT, or reused an existing checkout, replace ~/.dsh/source/current with that checkout path; see scripts/install.sh for details. The Web UI is served at http://127.0.0.1:3080 by default.
Configured runtime
Raw dsh requires a patch-list configuration applied over the shipped base:
dsh --config ./app.cordis.yml
The CLI contract describes the base, overlay semantics, and config dump commands.
Headless
Run one task, print the final answer, and exit:
dsh -p "summarize this workspace"
Automation and SDKs
From a source checkout with DEEPSEEK_API_KEY in the environment or its root .env, start the ACP automation server:
pnpm run demo:acp
The Python SDK drives a bundled JSON-RPC runtime. The examples cover the runnable headless, ACP, JSON-RPC, Code Mode, and self-referential compositions.
Why DeepSeek Harness
Built-in capabilities cover file reading, editing, and search; shell and persistent PTY execution; reusable skills; task tracking, goals, plans, todos, and background tasks; subagents and workflows; sandboxing and approvals; settings and credentials; persistent, resumable, forkable, and queryable sessions; LSP and web access; context compaction; and telemetry. Each composition selects the subset appropriate to its surface. The Web UI 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.
- Runs are reconstructable. Anything visible to the model is logged in the authoritative session stream; persistence, resume/fork/query, replay, telemetry, and UIs derive from the same events. See the session-log architecture.
- 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.
