dsh-chat-flow-re-layout
Client-side layout plugin for the DeepSeek Harness web UI: settled tool calls, context injections and finished reasoning rows pile horizontally in the chat flow as compact name-only chips, while running cards, streaming reasoning and plain text keep their original full-width vertical stacking.
Before / After
Before — every tool call and reasoning row takes its own full-width line:
After — settled rows pile horizontally as compact name-only chips, and the same turn takes a fraction of the vertical space:
How it works
Pure CSS injection, no component rewrites:
- the chat flow column is turned into a wrapping flex row;
- node kinds decide their own width: settled tool calls / context injections /
reasoning rows become content-sized chips (
flex: 0 0 auto), everything else stays a full-width line (flex: 1 1 100%); - assistant-step internals are lifted into the flow with
display: contentsso reasoning rows can share lines with tool chips; - the running turn-status strip (
role="status", "Deep diving...") always takes its own full line at the end of the flow; - summary text is hidden on finished chips (class-suffix conventions
_summary/_separator/_sep/_fileLink), restored with:has()for running and interactive Cordis cards.

The browser half is a hand-written ModuleLoader bundle (no build step): the
stylesheet is injected into <head> when the module materializes and is
guarded by a data-plugin-css marker against double injection.
