dsh-chat-autoload

English · 中文版

dsh Web GUI plugin: when a session becomes current, automatically page its full history into the client — the equivalent of clicking "load older" until the log head is reached — and expose the chatAutoload service so other plugins can depend on (and re-trigger) that behavior.

Why

The Web GUI pages long conversations 50 messages at a time. Features that index the whole conversation (e.g. dsh-chat-navigator) need the complete window. The host places no upper bound on the page size, so this plugin simply drives the session's own loadOlder() to completion — existing session data stays the single source; nothing is persisted, no model request is made.

Behavior

• On every session switch, pages older history until the window reaches the log head, sequentially (one page per request, with a no-progress stall guard).
• After a reconnect resync truncates the window back to the tail page, re-arms and pages again automatically.
• Provides the chatAutoload service:
  • ensureLoaded(id) — start/re-arm full-history paging for a session (idempotent).
  • isComplete(id) — whether the session's full history is currently paged in.

Install

dsh plugin --profile  add @neplich/dsh-chat-autoload

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile  remove @neplich/dsh-chat-autoload

The plugin writes no files and no settings fields, so removal leaves no residue. Consumer plugins that read chatAutoload (e.g. dsh-chat-navigator) degrade gracefully once it is removed — they index only the loaded window instead of the complete history.

Model Experience

None: the plugin never sends model requests and never touches the session log; it only reads history through the existing paging RPC.
