dsh-better-status

The session stats line at the bottom of DeepSeek Harness is a wall of small text: turns, steps, LLM latency, first-token time, tokens per second, cache hit rate, input and output tokens. Every number is there, but the eye slides right past it. dsh-better-status breaks that single line into a set of semantically clear visual components, docked to the top-right corner of the page, so the metrics that matter are readable at a glance.

The panel refreshes every second. Large number cards show turns, steps, estimated per-session cost, and your DeepSeek account balance. An SVG donut chart compares LLM versus tool-call latency. Gradient progress bars display first-token delay and generation speed. Ring gauges track cache-hit rate and context pressure. Stacked bars split input and output tokens. Every graphic is drawn with native SVG and inline CSS, so there is zero chart-library dependency and both light and dark themes work out of the box. If a session projection is missing, the plugin gracefully falls back to local node aggregation instead of blanking out.

If you run long sessions or tool-heavy workflows in DSH and want a constant, glanceable view of latency bottlenecks, token spend, and account balance without opening a separate monitoring tool, this plugin is for you. Install it once and it auto-loads on every start; that single line of tiny text becomes a live dashboard, with no background scripts to babysit.
