A small plugin set that gives the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Web sidebar some breathing room.

It ships one plugin today:

Plugin	What it does
Sidebar panel collapse	Collapses the "global panels" column above the workspace into one toggle in the sidebar footer

Why

The DSH Web sidebar stacks, from top to bottom: brand row → new session → global panel entries → workspace → settings.

Every plugin that adds a sidebar entry adds a row to that column: plugins, plugin market, schedules, MCP studio, context, skill manager, system monitor… Seven rows are roughly 280px, which squeezes the workspace region down to a few sessions.

This plugin does exactly one thing: collapse that column of global panel entries, and bring it back when you need it.

Highlights

• Collapsed by default — the workspace gets ~280px back as soon as the plugin is installed.
• One toggle in the sidebar footer, right above "settings".
• Remembered in localStorage; survives reloads and restarts.
• Nothing else is touched — no panel, no workspace, no host behaviour; only the display of the list element the sidebar already renders.
• Themed with --dsw-alias-* tokens only, so it follows the DSH theme.
• Rail-friendly — in the narrow 56px rail the toggle becomes a round icon button.

Install

The plugin is a repository-root package: it declares the dsh.bundle manifest, so DSH can install it straight from GitHub.

# from GitHub
dsh plugin --profile web add github:rivenshanghai/dsh-toomuch-plugins

# or from a local clone
git clone https://github.com/rivenshanghai/dsh-toomuch-plugins.git
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-toomuch-plugins

dsh plugin forwards to pnpm inside the profile. After the install, enable the plugin in DSH's plugin settings (it is written into the profile's dsh.profile.bundles), then refresh the page.

From the plugin market, once listed: open Settings → Plugin Market in DSH and search for toomuch-plugins.

Verify: the sidebar footer gains a "Collapse global panels / Expand global panels" row above "settings", and the global panel column is gone.

Requirements: DSH (DeepSeek Harness) with a web profile; Node.js ≥ 20.

How it works

src/client.js does three things:

1. registers a toggle into the sidebar footer slot sidebar.footer.action (the row next to "settings");
2. walks up from its own root node to find the sidebar root's direct <nav> child — the global panel list — and toggles its display;
3. remembers the choice in localStorage.

The basis is DSH's own @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-sidebar: nav.panelList is a direct child of the sidebar root, so walking up from the footer button always reaches it. Styling uses only --dsw-alias-* theme variables, and the stylesheet rides inside the component, so unmounting removes it.

No DSH internal package is imported, and no DSH file is modified. The full contract is written down in docs/design.md.

Known limits

• It collapses the global panel entries column only. The brand row, new session and settings are left alone — the brand row's "collapse sidebar" button is the only entry point on Linux / Windows, so hiding it would lose a feature.
• With no global panels installed, the sidebar never renders that <nav> and the toggle is a harmless no-op.
• Verified on DSH Web (Linux) only.

Plugin market

DSH plugins are listed in the awesome-dsh-plugin catalog, which aggregates the repositories carrying the dsh-plugin GitHub topic. Add that topic to this repository, then open a one-file pull request against that catalog: the entry file is data/plugins/<owner>__<repo>.yml, with a category, a one-line description.en and an optional description.zh (the catalog's contributing guide has the exact rules).

Related plugins

• dsh-sidebar-quiet — folds the sidebar footer rows (balance / import / memory / sign out) into one line
• dsh-sidebar-buttons — manage sidebar footer buttons: drag to reorder, show / fold into More / hide
• dsh-sidebar-pins — a collapsible pinned-sessions block above the settings row
• dsh-sidebar-drawer — an edge-hover drawer that expands the sidebar
• dsh-plugin-sidebar-visibility — hide / collapse at the workspace level

Contributing

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome. Please include your DSH version, the browser, and whether the toggle appeared in the sidebar footer. Keep the change focused: this plugin does one thing, and the DOM contract it relies on is documented in docs/design.md.
