dsh-activity-view

dsh-activity-view

An activity view for the DeepSeek Harness web sidebar. A bell sits in the sessions header, between the view options and the add-project button. Click it to swap the session list for three groups:

Group	A session shows here when
Needs attention	it finished while you looked elsewhere (unread), or it waits for an approval, a plan review or an answer
Working	it is running
Today	its last activity was today (local calendar day)

  

Left: the default sessions list. Right: the activity view, bell on.

Blank, subagent and archived sessions stay out. Unread rows get the green dot, waiting rows the orange one, working rows the native spinner. The bell itself shows a dot when anything needs attention, also while the view is off.

The bell is the only switch. The choice is stored in the browser under the dsh-activity-view.v2 localStorage key.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:vec715/dsh-activity-view

Restart the server, then reload the page. Remove it with:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-activity-view

For development, add your local checkout instead:

git clone https://github.com/vec715/dsh-activity-view
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-activity-view

How it works

The shipped session browser owns sidebar.workspaces as one single slot, header and list together. Replacing it would also replace search, view options and add-project. So the plugin does two small DOM moves instead:

• the bell is appended to the shipped headerActions row and copies the class of the neighbouring icon button, so it looks and behaves like the others
• the shipped listArea is hidden while the view is on, and a React root with the activity list mounts beside it

Both anchors are CSS-module local names, which survive build hashes. A MutationObserver puts the nodes back when the shell re-renders. Row metrics are copied from the shipped session rows and use the same theme tokens.

Develop

No build step. client/client.js is a hand-written loader bundle that the host serves as a classic script. Edit it, then reload the page.

Types come from JSDoc, checked by tsc against types.d.ts (the few host modules the plugin touches) and @types/react. Nothing is emitted.

npm install
npm run check   # tsc type-check, then the client self-check in node

Known limits

• Unread state is process-local in DSH. A reload, a second tab, or a session that finished while the page was closed carries no unread mark.
• The DOM seam depends on the shipped headerActions and listArea class names. A DSH release that renames them will break the bell or the list.
• Row sizes are copied by hand from the shipped CSS. Check them after a DSH release that restyles the session list.
• English only.
