dsh-bot-codex-ui

One install for the DS Bot team + Codex-style sidebar, with their layout conflicts fixed.

This plugin bundles a modified copy of ds-bot (Bot team, group chats, memory) and the dsh-codex-ui sidebar skin into a single DSH plugin. It fixes the visual conflicts that appear when both are installed separately.

Built on the shoulders of two giants: Fei2411/DeepSeek-Bot and MichengAI/dsh-codex-ui.

What you get

• DS Bot: a team of long-lived Bots with group chats, memory, capabilities and usage tracking.
• Codex-style sidebar: workspace tree, search, turn navigation in a modern layout.
• Fixed layout: the composer, sidebar footer, account entry and conversation width no longer fight between the two plugins.

What it fixes

#	Problem (when both plugins are installed)	Fix
1	Composer control row misaligned; buttons crowd	Restored the official column structure
2	Composer internal spacing wrong	Restored the official gap and padding
3	Bottom control band too tight (buttons nearly touch)	Restored a 10px rhythm
4	Sidebar footer stacks into two rows	Forced a single flex row
5	Footer height jumps between surfaces	Locked to 60px
6	Horizontal divider inconsistent between modes	Declared on the footer itself
7	Account entry wider than the mode tabs	Single 36px icon; name label hidden
8	One-way mode switch (only in Agent mode)	Two-tab switcher (Agent / DS Bot)
9	"Connect plugins" button with a standing red "!" badge	Moved into the account menu; badge retired
10	Conversation column wider than the classic Agent surface	Removed the local width pin

Install

Install from GitHub (this package vendors ds-bot via a file: dependency, which means it cannot be published to npm — GitHub is the distribution channel):

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Audrey-cn/dsh-bot-codex-ui

Or from a local checkout:

dsh plugin --profile web add file:/path/to/dsh-bot-codex-ui

Do not install ds-bot or @michengai/dsh-codex-ui separately — this plugin bundles both. Installing them alongside will cause duplicate plugin entries.

Self-check

Two seconds after mount, the plugin verifies its layout fixes in the rendered DOM:

1. Composer row wrapper exists and is a flex container (not display:contents).
2. Sidebar footer is a single flex row.
3. The red warning badge is hidden.
4. The mode tabs rendered.
5. The account entry is a single icon (no name label).

If any check fails, a dismissible red warning appears in the corner and a console warning lists what went wrong. This prevents silent failure — the bugs returning without any signal.

Build

npm run build      # writes client.js
npm run check      # verifies client.js is up to date

Upstream versions

Upstream	Version	Relationship
ds-bot	0.1.5 (vendored, modified)	ds-bot/ directory
@michengai/dsh-codex-ui	1.1.36 (unmodified)	npm dependency

When ds-bot releases a new version, merge the changes into ds-bot/ and rebuild. The layout fixes are in ds-bot/src/client/; see the git log for the exact changes.

Upstream update tracking

Both upstreams release very frequently (ds-bot roughly daily, dsh-codex-ui every 1–2 days), so this plugin can silently fall behind. Two mechanisms prevent that:

Automated check (GitHub Actions)

A daily workflow runs scripts/check-upstream.mjs and opens (or updates) a single tracking issue when either upstream has a newer release. If the issue is no longer relevant, it is closed automatically.

Local check

node scripts/check-upstream.mjs                # version check only
node scripts/check-upstream.mjs --test-patch   # also test the patch on new ds-bot
node scripts/check-upstream.mjs --json         # machine-readable

--test-patch clones the newest ds-bot and attempts to apply ds-bot-local.patch. If the patch applies cleanly the merge is mechanical; if not, a manual merge is needed (see the merge procedure in dsbot-local/SOP.md).

Baselines

base.json records the upstream release versions this plugin is built from. The vendored ds-bot/package.json can disagree with the npm release (upstream git tags sometimes carry a different version), so base.json is the authoritative source for the version check.
