Tianyi Cui fc566119a7 refactor(subprocess): rename the process seam to subprocess and address review
Review feedback (tianyicui): 'process' is a poor service name. The family is
now packages/subprocess/ — @deepseek-ai/dsh-subprocess (ctx.subprocess,
abstract SubprocessService, Subprocess* vocabulary) and
@deepseek-ai/dsh-subprocess-local (LocalSubprocessService) — renamed
throughout code, compositions, docs (en+zh, pairs re-recorded), catalogs,
and gates. 'subprocess' is the precise term for managed OS children (the
Python-stdlib sense), avoids colliding with Node's global process object,
and reads as one system beside dsh-subagent-subprocess.

ds-review-bot findings addressed:
- kill() on a settled handle is now a no-op (no signal to a possibly-reused
  pgid, no referenced grace timer delaying exit); pinned by a spy test.
- The moved DshEnvironmentKey/DshEnvironment/CollectedOutput types get
  drift-checked type-equiv blocks on the new subprocess.md page, restoring
  their manifest registration.
- subprocess.md is registered in the core.md sub-page index (en+zh).

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.

Install

Install dsh with one command:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deepseek-harness/deepseek-harness/master/scripts/install.sh | sh

The installer requires git and Node ^22.19 || >=24, offers to install pnpm when it is missing, and prompts for a DeepSeek API key.

The installer clones DeepSeek Harness to ~/.dsh/source, links dsh into ~/.local/bin, and launches it. Re-running the command updates the checkout. See scripts/install.sh for alternate install locations and other options.

Use DeepSeek Harness

Web UI

For the recommended local interface, build the frontend after installation and after each update, then start the Web UI:

pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source run build && pnpm --dir ~/.dsh/source run build:web
dsh web

The Web UI is served at http://127.0.0.1:3080 by default.

TUI

Start the full-screen terminal interface:

dsh

Headless

Run one task, print the final answer, and exit:

dsh -p "summarize this workspace"

Why DeepSeek Harness

Built-in capabilities cover file reading, editing, and search; shell execution; reusable skills; task tracking; subagents and workflows; persistent sessions; and context compaction. The TUI also 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.
  • Code Mode (opt-in). It exposes a run_code tool 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.
