DeepSeek Status Lamp for DeepSeek Harness

A DeepSeek Harness plugin bundle that puts a glowing live status lamp in the left sidebar footer and reveals the full DeepSeek platform status when you hover it. Data comes from the public status page at https://status.deepseek.com/.

• Capability: UI / experience — an ambient monitoring decoration, no agent tools added.
• One line: install it and the Harness sidebar grows a live DeepSeek service-status lamp you can read at a glance and inspect by hovering.

Install

From GitHub (source install)

dsh plugin --profile web add github:gmchocolate/dsh-deepseek-status

Replace web with whichever profile you run (desktop, web, or your own). The command is pnpm add underneath, so github:<owner>/<repo> installs the checked-out package directly. Reload the Harness Web page once afterwards; the client bundle is served per page load.

From a local checkout

git clone https://github.com/gmchocolate/dsh-deepseek-status.git

Then install the directory with the Harness plugin_manager (install_bundle, absolute package directory as target).

Not on npm yet, so it does not show up in the in-app 插件中心 (which lists only one-click npm plugins). The community marketplace still lists it with the source-install command above.

What you get

• A light-tube style lamp in the sidebar footer: a glass bezel holding ten lit segments, with a soft coloured bloom and a faint spill of light below it — 63px long in the wide sidebar, 41px in the collapsed 56px rail.
• Colour = state: green operational · blue maintenance · amber degraded · red partial or full outage · grey status unavailable. Amber breathes slowly, red pulses faster, and prefers-reduced-motion stops both.
• Hover (or keyboard-focus) the lamp for a card with the overall state, every service component grouped by section with its own state, each active incident or maintenance window with its latest update, affected components and update time, plus the upstream source name.
• Text is localized (English and Chinese) through the host locale service, and every colour is a host theme token, so it follows the app's light/dark theme.

How it gets the data

status.deepseek.com is a Next.js app-router page: live data arrives inside the served HTML as a React flight payload, and the origin sends no CORS headers, so a browser cannot read it directly. The bundle therefore has two halves:

status.deepseek.com ──fetch(HTML + flight payload)──▶ Host half
                                                       │ derive one normalized snapshot
                                                       ▼
                        GET /plugins/deepseek-status.json  (same origin)
                                                       │
                                                       ▼
                                                    Client half

• Host half (index.js) fetches the page every 90s, decodes the initialData prop (component catalog + active changes, whose affected_components[].status carries each component's current state) and normalizes it. If the payload cannot be parsed it falls back to the history.rss incident feed. It serves the result as same-origin JSON on an exact route, so it cannot shadow other routes or the SPA fallback.
• Client half (client.js) registers into the sidebar.footer.action slot, polls the Host route every 60s (and when the tab becomes visible again), and draws the lamp plus the hover card.

The browser never calls the status site directly.

Real output

npm run test:live against the live status page:

live: overall=degraded
live: counts={"operational":4,"maintenance":0,"degraded":3,"partial_outage":0,"full_outage":0}

A screenshot of the lamp in the sidebar is still to be added — the lamp renders in the Harness Web UI as described above.

Compatibility and requirements

Item	Value
DeepSeek Harness	developed and verified on Desktop runtime 0.2.1-rc.5; the bundle uses only stable extension points (webServer.register, sidebar.footer.action, locale)
Platform	macOS verified; Windows / Linux expected to work (plain JS, no native code) but not verified
Runtime	no dependencies, no build step; Host half needs a Node with global fetch and AbortSignal.timeout (Node 18+, DSH ships newer)
Permissions	no agent tools, no credentials, no filesystem access; one outbound HTTPS GET to the public status page every 90s
External services	status.deepseek.com (status page and its history.rss fallback); everything else stays local

收录信息（中文）

• 分类：界面与体验
• 一句话价值：装好后左侧栏底部多一根发光灯管，随时反映 status.deepseek.com 上的服务状态，悬停即可看到全部组件、进行中事件与更新时间。
• 安装命令：dsh plugin --profile web add github:gmchocolate/dsh-deepseek-status
• 兼容：DeepSeek Harness Desktop 0.2.1-rc.5 实测通过；macOS 已验证，Windows/Linux 未验证；无第三方依赖、无构建步骤。
• 许可证：MIT
• 权限与外部服务：不注册任何 Agent 工具、不读取凭据与文件；仅每 90 秒对公开状态页发起一次 HTTPS 请求（失败时退回其 RSS 事件流），数据经本机同源路由 /plugins/deepseek-status.json 提供给前端。
• 已知限制：上游页面结构变化时会先退回 RSS 兜底、再显示灰色「状态不可用」；悬浮卡片用 position: fixed 定位，若宿主给侧栏祖先加了 transform 会有偏移。

Development

npm test            # flight parsing, normalization, client render (offline)
npm run test:live   # optional: parse the real status page right now

There are no dependencies and no build step: the Host half is a plain Cordis plugin and the Client half is a plain lazy module (window.__ModuleLoader__.load). The tests use only Node built-ins and a tiny React stand-in, so they run offline.

Runtime tunables live at the top of index.js (REFRESH_MS, ROUTE_PATH, FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS) because a dependency-free bundle cannot declare a schemastery-typed Config. The lamp geometry lives in client.js (LAMP_CELLS selects the segment count; .dss-cell width and height set the tube's proportions).

Files

File	Role
index.js	Host half: upstream fetch, parse, normalize, poller, JSON route.
client.js	Client half: lazy module factory, slot registration, lamp and hover card, EN/ZH dictionaries.
cordis.patch.yml	Bundle patch that inserts the deepseek-status row.
locale/*.json	Plugin Manager display metadata.
icon.svg	Plugin icon (original artwork).
test/*.mjs	Offline tests plus an optional live smoke test.

Limits

• The JSON route answers any same-origin GET/HEAD without authentication. It carries only public status-page data and is bound to the Harness listener (loopback by default).
• The upstream payload shape belongs to the current Flashcat-hosted status page. A redesign there degrades to the RSS fallback, then to the grey "unavailable" lamp.
• The hover card is rendered with position: fixed from the slot's own measure step; a host layout that gives a sidebar ancestor a transform would offset it.
