dsh-away-notify

You hand a long-running task to DSH, then switch to another tab, minimize the window, or lock the screen to step away. You do not want to stare at the interface, yet you also do not want a popup nagging you every time you happen to be looking at it. dsh-away-notify fills exactly that gap: when the task finishes while you are genuinely off the DSH page, a native Windows Toast appears in the lower-right corner reading DSH task complete. If you are still watching the page, it stays quiet.

The completion check runs on the Host side, listening for the agent/status transition from running to idle, so it never depends on whether the browser JavaScript is still executing. Even with the tab minimized, backgrounded, or throttled by the operating system, the signal is caught. Visibility is tracked by the Client, which reports a state change each time the page flips between visible and hidden; the two signals meet on the Host before any notification fires. The toast itself is built with PowerShell 5.1 and the WinRT Toast API, renders in the standard lower-right style, auto-registers the AUMID, and pulls in zero external dependencies. A settings card offers a master toggle and a test button, and all preferences live in ~/.dsh/plugins/away-notify.json with instant effect, including an optional flag to also notify subagent sessions.

It suits anyone who runs long DSH tasks on Windows and prefers to do other things while they execute. Instead of repeatedly coming back to check the interface, you get a single, well-timed nudge the moment you actually need to know. The plugin does not alter DSH execution in any way; it simply gives you a gentle tap on the shoulder at the right moment.
