dsh-update-status

Usage

1. Open the DSH sidebar drawer. The official fish remains in place; the name row shows DeepSeek plus the current version badge.
2. Tap the badge. The update panel opens without triggering the parent New Session action.
3. Review meaningful channels. If next points to the same release as the running/stable version, it is intentionally omitted.
4. Select alpha or another available channel if you want to evaluate it. An unverified preview remains clearly marked.
5. Copy the generated command and run it yourself in a terminal on the computer hosting DSH.
6. Restart DSH yourself after the package-manager command completes.

Example commands generated for a global install:

npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh@latest
npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh@next
npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh@alpha

The plugin displays one command that matches the detected installation kind and selected channel. It does not run these commands.

Configuration

Option	Default	Range / behavior
cacheTtlMinutes	360	30–1,440 minutes; expires only for the next on-demand read, never a background timer
channel	latest	latest, next, or alpha
sidebarEnabled	true	Hides only this plugin's sidebar entry

Settings → Version & updates lets the local operator hide the plugin's sidebar entry and select a release channel. The panel also supports direct channel selection and a cache-duration input. Changing the duration does not issue a request; only a later normal read can refresh an expired cache, while Check for updates always performs an immediate manual refresh.
