dsh-rescue-tui

The web server will not start, the port is taken, the browser is unresponsive — yet your session log is still on disk and you do not want to start over. dsh-rescue-tui is a minimal terminal rescue TUI built for exactly that moment: a pure plugin mount with zero core changes, ready to use the instant you plug it in.

It folds DSH session resume, three-tier permission inheritance (sandbox-policy + approval + permission-presets), dynamic model routing, effort-level tuning, web_search, and a lightweight web_fetch provider into a single native readline + ANSI terminal. Out-of-bounds writes are caught by the sandbox and escalated to a y/N prompt at the terminal; /model lets you switch providers in place on the same session log without losing history; /effort adjusts reasoning depth independently of the model. The tool surface is deliberately trimmed — keeping pwsh/bash, file editing, and search/fetch while disabling subagent, workflow, and other heavy collaboration features, since one person and one agent are usually enough for a rescue job.

Best for: SSH remote maintenance, low-spec environments, emergency session continuation after a WebUI outage, and any situation where there is no GUI but you still need to keep a DSH session alive. No third-party UI dependencies; Node 22 is the only hard requirement.
