dsh-win-notify

Running a multi-step task in DeepSeek Harness has a quiet cost: you never quite know whether it has finished, whether it is waiting for your input, or whether an approval prompt is sitting unnoticed in the corner of your screen. dsh-win-notify closes that gap by firing a real Windows system Toast the moment any of those three events occurs. The toast lands in Notification Center under the "DeepSeek Harness" sender name with the black-whale icon, and it stays there after the banner fades so you can always scroll back.

It is deliberate about when it interrupts you. Completions from sub-agents, AgentTeams members, and workflow workers are suppressed entirely; two task-complete toasts from the same agent are spaced at least ten seconds apart. The "needs your input" toast fires the instant ask_user_question is presented to you—not after you have already answered—and every approval toast includes the tool name and a short reason summary so you can decide without switching windows.

There are no external runtime dependencies: the Toast is emitted by a small pre-compiled .NET 4 helper EXE shipped with the package, and if that EXE goes missing the system-provided csc.exe rebuilds it on the fly. The package declares an os field, so on Linux or macOS it prints a single warning and registers no events—no errors, no side effects. If you work with DeepSeek Harness on Windows 10 or 11, this plugin turns "staring at the terminal waiting for it to finish" into "go do other things, I will look when it pings me."
