trim and escape commute for every input, so the new whitespace test does
not pin their order: UNPRINTABLE and LONE_SURROGATE are disjoint from the
set trim() strips, and both escapes emit plain non-whitespace ASCII,
leaving the leading and trailing whitespace runs byte-identical. State that instead of the false causal clause.
pyScalar's Literal path escapes nothing itself -- JSON.stringify is what
keeps it parseable, covering NUL and, under ES2019 well-formed
stringification, unpaired surrogates. Record the dependency and turn it
into a checked invariant. Pin the docstring emission site for a lone
surrogate too, mirroring the NUL case.
Two docstring corrections: describe's caller enumeration omitted the
synthetic { description } wrapper docLines builds, and "special in
statement position" does not describe `_`, which is special in a match
pattern. Both keep the conclusion they support.
Note which of the two table guards fires depends on the entry point.
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.
