dsh-better-restart

The DeepSeek Harness web surface ships without a one-click restart control. After tweaking configuration or swapping plugins, you have to go back to the terminal and relaunch the process. dsh-better-restart adds a prominent Restart app button in the settings header. Clicking it opens a confirmation dialog that polls agent activity every 1.5 seconds; when conversations are in flight it reports the live count and requires an explicit acknowledgement, otherwise it proceeds straight to the restart and reloads the current tab in place.

Under the hood the plugin prefers the launcher-provided appRestart service to re-boot the entire process. When that service is absent it falls back to a root-include recompose: the loader disables and re-enables its top-level cordis:include entry, re-reads the composed cordis.yml plus user patch layers, and restarts every mounted plugin and the web server while the Node process itself stays alive, so your terminal session is never lost. The plugin also exposes status() and restart() through the betterRestartUi Cordis service, letting the plugin marketplace and other browser-side modules reuse the same restart logic.

If you find yourself repeatedly adjusting DSH configuration or swapping plugins and would rather avoid round-tripping to the terminal every time, this zero-dependency, purely runtime plugin is purpose-built for you.
