dsh-tray

The desktop DeepSeek Harness ships with a Close button in its title bar; one accidental click and a long-running session is gone for good. dsh-tray solves exactly that problem with a single, focused job: tuck the desktop DSH into the system tray so you can minimize, come back, and never risk killing the process by mistake.

The plugin is deliberately tiny—a single cordis.patch.yml loader row backed by a small TypeScript gateway and settings panel. Build output is committed right in the repository, so a plain git clone is all you need; no build scripts, no prepare hooks, no extra dependencies. Because the official DeepSeek Harness does not include a tray row, the plugin installs cleanly into any profile. The one edge case is a modified build that already ships its own tray loader entry; in that situation, point the install at a profile that does not carry the built-in row.

It is built for developers who keep a desktop DSH session alive for hours and have felt the sting of an accidental Close click at least once. After installing, the Close button stops being your biggest enemy—the small icon in the system tray becomes the anchor you can always reach for.
