dsh-activity-view

An activity view for the DeepSeek Harness web sidebar. A bell sits in the sessions header, between the view options and the add-project button. Click it to swap the session list for three groups:

Group	A session shows here when
Needs attention	it finished while you looked elsewhere (unread), or it waits for an approval, a plan review or an answer
Working	it is running
Today	its last activity was today (local calendar day)

  

_{Left: the default sessions list. Right: the activity view, bell on.}

Blank, subagent and archived sessions stay out. Unread rows get the green dot, waiting rows the orange one, working rows the native spinner. The bell itself shows a dot when anything needs attention, also while the view is off.

The bell is the only switch. The choice is stored in the browser under the dsh-activity-view.v2 localStorage key.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:vec715/dsh-activity-view

Restart the server, then reload the page. Remove it with:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-activity-view

For development, add your local checkout instead:

git clone https://github.com/vec715/dsh-activity-view
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-activity-view

How it works

The shipped session browser owns sidebar.workspaces as one single slot, header and list together. Replacing it would also replace search, view options and add-project. So the plugin does two small DOM moves instead:

• the bell is appended to the shipped headerActions row and copies the class of the neighbouring icon button, so it looks and behaves like the others
• the shipped listArea is hidden while the view is on, and a React root with the activity list mounts beside it

Both anchors are CSS-module local names, which survive build hashes. A MutationObserver puts the nodes back when the shell re-renders. Row metrics are copied from the shipped session rows and use the same theme tokens.

Develop

No build step. client/client.js is a hand-written loader bundle that the host serves as a classic script. Edit it, then reload the page.

Types come from JSDoc, checked by tsc against types.d.ts (the few host modules the plugin touches) and @types/react. Nothing is emitted.

npm install
npm run check   # tsc type-check, then the client self-check in node

Known limits

• Unread state is process-local in DSH. A reload, a second tab, or a session that finished while the page was closed carries no unread mark.
• The DOM seam depends on the shipped headerActions and listArea class names. A DSH release that renames them will break the bell or the list.
• Row sizes are copied by hand from the shipped CSS. Check them after a DSH release that restyles the session list.
• English only.
