dsh-essential

DeepSeek Harness defines Session persistence as strictly append-only and exposes no deletion method, leaving developers without a first-class way to clean up stale conversations in the Web workspace or from the command line. dsh-essential closes that gap by injecting a Delete conversation action into every Session row menu and registering the /delete-conversation slash command, turning conversation cleanup into an explicit, auditable workflow.

The plugin separates intent from execution. After you confirm a deletion, the running process writes a durable request and immediately hides the row through the workspace archive projection. The actual disk move is deferred to the next cold start, where the new process atomically renames the JSONL directory into a recovery trash folder before it builds its index. Safety is layered throughout: a mandatory literal CONFIRM gate, triple identity binding of sessionId, createdAt, and cwd, a rename-only strategy that never unlinks log files, and a deterministic crash-recovery path via deletion.json. A live writer is never displaced, and no data is irreversibly erased.

It is built for developers who manage many DSH sessions in the Web workspace and want a safe, auditable, and reversible way to retire historical conversations—without patching the DeepSeek Harness source tree or risking accidental permanent loss.
