dsh-pwsh-progress

Launching a background task inside DSH feels like tossing it into a black hole: no progress indicator, no countdown, no status light—you are left to refresh the page or scroll through job_output manually. dsh-pwsh-progress plugs that gap. The moment a job enters run_in_background, the interface shows its status (running, stopping, done, stopped, failed), elapsed time, a progress bar parsed from already-read output as N/M or a percentage, and an estimated time remaining. When output has not yet revealed a concrete progress figure, the plugin falls back to the historical average for the same command and labels the estimate clearly.

Beyond the inline card, the plugin injects a persistent task bar at the tail of every conversation turn, covering background jobs from any tool—pwsh, bash, subagent, and more. It polls automatically, degrades silently on failure, and ships a one-click stop button backed by jobs.kill. pwsh tasks additionally receive an in-place progress card that replaces the official same-slot card for a tighter layout. Under the hood, all state tracking uses a non-consuming jobs.get call so the model job_output stream is never disturbed.

If you regularly orchestrate long-running background tasks in DSH and refuse to keep refreshing the page just to find out whether a job has finished, this plugin is built for you. Install it, restart dsh web, and you are done—no extra configuration required.
