dsh-frontend-inspector

Lovstudio's dev-only click-to-source for the DeepSeek Harness web surface. Hold Shift + Option and click a rendered element to open the editor at that element's source location.

This is a Lovstudio plugin, not a DeepSeek-AI package, distributed under the @lovstudio scope.

What it does

The plugin is completely runtime — there are no build-time source transforms and no build-time data-insp-path markers.

• Host half registers two webServer routes:
  • GET /lovinsp-inject.js — serves the runtime client script.
  • POST /lovinsp-open — receives { file, line, col } and opens the editor (open <scheme>://file/<file>:<line>:<col>).
• Client (the served script): on Shift + Option click, walks the target element's React fiber (__reactFiber$) to the nearest custom component and reads its _debugSource (file:line:column), then POSTs it to /lovinsp-open.

Because it reads React's _debugSource, it works where the app is built with the JSX __source kept in development mode (a real vite/dev-server React app). Production builds strip __source, so the plugin is a dev-facing debug tool.

The plugin reaches DSH capabilities through the injected Cordis ctx only (webServer, and the settings service for the enabled switch). Its only package dependency is the schemastery schema library.

Install

Plugins distribute as a bundle (dsh.bundle.patch → cordis.patch.yml). Install into the web profile (the one dsh web boots):

# from git (append #<sha> to pin a commit)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:lovstudio/dsh-frontend-inspector

# or straight from npm
dsh plugin --profile web add @lovstudio/dsh-frontend-inspector

enabled defaults to true; a frontend-inspector.enabled settings namespace can override it. The webServer service is provided by the harness launcher / @deepseek-ai/dsh-base.

Use

1. Start a dev web UI (one whose JSX keeps __source), or a dsh web served with vite dev-mode source info.
2. Hold Shift + Option and click any element.
3. The editor opens at the component's source.

Notes

• Dev-only: requires React _debugSource present in the running bundle.
• IDE open uses the OS open/xdg-open/start command with the configured URL scheme (default vscode). Override via the plugin scheme config.
