dsh-windows-notify

When running long multi-agent tasks with DeepSeek Harness on Windows, a single turn can stretch for tens of seconds or even minutes, and you are almost certainly not staring at the window anymore. Tasks finish silently, ask_user_question blocks await your decision, and nothing at the system level pulls your attention back. dsh-windows-notify bridges that gap by turning DSH completion events and pending decisions into native Windows toast notifications, sounds, and a live taskbar badge.

The plugin fires a system Toast the moment the root agent transitions from running to idle, with an optional five-second merge window that collapses rapid completions into a single summary line. When an agent raises ask_user_question, a dedicated decision toast appears showing the question and available options; the tray badge increments on new decisions and decrements once you respond or dismiss them. Four self-synthesized notification tones (soft, brisk, calm, crisp), configurable do-not-disturb windows that span midnight, and automatic muting under Windows Focus Assist are all adjustable from the DSH settings page and take effect on save with no restart.

Installation uses the native profile-bundle mechanism: a junction, two manifest entries, and a restart. No built-in package files are patched, so a DSH upgrade only requires re-running the install script. The plugin makes no network calls, ships no telemetry, and never touches credentials; all runtime state stays under the local DSH_HOME directory. It is aimed at Windows 10/11 developers who run DSH multi-agent workflows for extended periods and would rather let the operating system ping them than keep a terminal tab under constant surveillance.
