dsh-about

If DeepSeek Harness is part of your daily AI-assisted coding setup, juggling dsh CLI version, web frontend build, Node runtime, and checking whether a newer release has already shipped to npm tends to fragment across terminal logs and docs. dsh-about pulls all of that into a single Settings -> About panel: open it once and the full environment snapshot is right there, removing the need to hop between windows.

The plugin is built around the update loop. It compares the latest stable release against pre-release channels and presents tiered recommendations rather than a binary prompt. Picking a source triggers a one-click install that automatically restarts the web service, with no background daemon and identical behaviour on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Mirror sources - official, domestic, or a custom local endpoint - are swappable from a dropdown, and you can latency-test each with a click, which is a real quality-of-life improvement for users on cross-border or throttled connections. A built-in changelog view surfaces the ten most recent official release notes in Chinese, fetched daily and cached locally. When a git tag has been cut but the npm publish is still pending, the panel flags the mismatch explicitly and the notice clears itself once the package lands.

In short, dsh-about is for developers who run DeepSeek Harness as a core dev tool and want version hygiene, update decisions, and source switching to happen in one glanceable place instead of a series of scattered shell one-liners.
