dsh-loader 2.0.0 provides independent adapters for dsh patch releases, stable host capability facades, client UI helpers, and a new configuration API with centrally generated forms.

Supported patch families: 0.1.5, 0.1.6, 0.1.7, 0.2.0, 0.2.1, 0.2.2, including prereleases. The published release inventory and dependency resolution are frozen on 2026-10-30. Unknown patches, majors, and older versions are rejected. Requires Node >=24.9.0.

Install

npm run build
npm pack
node bin/dshloader.mjs setup <profile-name>
npm install --prefix <profile-directory> <absolute-path-to-dsh-plugin-dsh-loader-2.0.0.tgz>

setup writes the dependency and Cordis patch to the named profile. Install the locally packed archive into that same profile, then restart dsh. These commands do not publish the package.

Inject dshLoader to access config, settings, web, services, registry, llm, dsh, and patch. The client entry is @dsh-plugin/dsh-loader/client; host module subpaths have explicit ESM and CJS exports.

Configuration

Register a JSON template through config.register(ownerCtx, template). Values persist at <profile>/config/<pluginID>/config.json, independently of host settings and exposeAllNamespaces. Templates support groups, objects, arrays, passwords, validation, and declarative visibility.

Templates can also declare transient operation panels with host handlers registered through handle.registerOperation(): async options, selection-to-editor bindings, editing/import, read-only Markdown/list/JSON results, cancellable long tasks, and resource revision conflicts. Operation drafts never enter the configuration file.

Fields can also open custom dialogs registered by the client through dshLoaderUi.config.registerDialog(). Plugins provide a React UI and a data reader; .save() and the Confirm button share revision-checked configuration persistence, retaining editor contents on failure.

Before dsh 0.1.6-alpha.2, forms appear under More → Settings → Plugin configuration. Newer versions use the corresponding native plugin detail page. Every plugin has a collapsed card with measured equal-width labels and fieldset groups. Save, cancel, and restore-defaults work per card; failed or conflicting saves preserve drafts.

Validate

npm run typecheck
npm run build
npm test
npm run test:package
npm run test:browser

The browser fixture uses .cache/browser/profile, not a user profile. Matrix tests use committed npm dependency and contract snapshots. See the support document for refresh instructions. Existing plugin configuration files are not migrated automatically; build and test never publish the package.
