dsh-sidechat — Side chat for DSH

Fork of heartmove/dsh-side-chat (MIT), rebuilt as dsh-sidechat.

A DSH web plugin providing a Codex-style side chat: an independent, agentic chat in a right-side panel, isolated per main conversation. It inherits the main conversation's toolset, model, thinking effort and permission preset, knows its workspace, and its replies can be brought back to the main conversation (directly or summarized, into the composer draft or as a collapsed context row). When the main agent pops a question dialog, the question and options can be brought into the side chat for analysis without interrupting the main flow.

Differences from upstream

1. Selections land in the input, not auto-sent. Selecting text and choosing "Ask in side chat" opens the panel and writes the selection into the composer draft — nothing is sent until you confirm (the old "send immediately" behavior is still available in settings; "Continue active side chat" now appends to the existing draft instead of replacing it).
2. One-click new chat. A "+" button in the panel header creates a fresh empty side chat and focuses the input.
3. Rebranded as dsh-sidechat (settings namespace, record file, bundle ids).

Everything else matches upstream: hidden ordinary sessions isolated per conversation, per-chat model / effort / permission selectors, the "look up workspace / parent when needed" switch, question-dialog side chat, drag-to-resize, zh/en follow.
