dsh-ssh-tui

The official headless profile prints exactly one artifact to stdout: the final Markdown. Thinking traces, tool calls, sub-agent runs, and plan updates all live in the session JSONL, invisible from the terminal. If your daily workflow is a jump host, a test box, or a keyboard-only SSH session, that process is a black box. dsh-ssh-tui renders the same event stream into an 80-column pure-ANSI window: collapsed thinking with a live spinner, red/green whole-line edit diffs, one card per sub-agent, and a plan bar pinned above the input box—everything appearing incrementally as bytes arrive, with no browser, mouse, or heavyweight terminal framework required.

Weak links and dropped sessions are the two problems every remote SSH developer hits. The plugin repaints only dirty rows and batches them into a single stdout.write; on startup it probes round-trip latency via CSI 6n and picks a 80-to-400 ms paint cadence, while a four-segment signal chip in the status bar shows the current delay at a glance. When the SSH link drops, the Host process stays alive on the remote box and keeps working; reconnecting with --resume re-attaches to the same session instead of spawning a second host that would race the JSONL and approval queue. Paired with tmux or the built-in continue-on-disconnect mode, lid-close, network switch, and jump-host idle timeouts no longer mean losing your working context.

Beyond process visibility, the plugin folds multi-provider routing—DeepSeek official, SuperGrok via local OAuth, OpenCode Go/Zen, and any OpenAI-compatible gateway—into /provider and /commands that take effect on the very next request without a restart. Sub-agent models auto-persist with the parent route; /usage queries the current provider for remaining quota and surfaces a percentage in the status bar. Search with /find jumps to a category-tagged message, and the full shortcut set (navigate, expand, scroll, full repaint) gives the feel of a desktop IDE editor window—except it runs inside a single SSH connection.
