dsh-update-notifier

DSH releases move quickly, but you probably do not want to manually check the npm latest tag and type an update command every single time you boot the web UI. dsh-update-notifier collapses that routine into a small persistent badge in the sidebar footer: a green dot means you are current, a red dot means an update is available, and an amber dot means the first check is still pending or you have chosen to ignore or snooze the newer version. Clicking the badge opens a modal that shows your installed version against the latest, the last-check timestamp, and three actions — one-click update, ignore this version, or snooze until the next poll. When you do update, the plugin detects whether you installed via npx-cache or globally and runs the matching npm command automatically, saving you the guesswork about your own install mode.

There is zero telemetry, zero analytics, and no third-party service calls; the only network request is a metadata pull from the public npm registry over HTTPS, and the browser stores nothing but a single ignored-version string in localStorage. The plugin is a lightweight fit for developers who live in the DSH web interface day-to-day and want version status at a glance without ever leaving the sidebar. If you prefer to manage dependencies manually, the badge is unobtrusive enough to ignore; if you would rather have a gentle nudge when a release lands, it does exactly that and nothing more.
