relay-dsh-plugin-workbench

The DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Web UI ships with a single conversation stream and no extensible panel area. relay-dsh-plugin-workbench solves this by giving multiple feature plugins a safe, shared shell in which to register right-side and bottom panel views—without modifying DSH core code or conflicting with one another. It exposes a generic right-side panel region, a generic bottom panel region, a public ctx.workbench registry, and stable contracts at a well-defined entry point. An idempotent activation model ensures that several feature plugins can safely bring Workbench into the same DSH profile.

It is worth emphasising that installing Workbench on its own produces no visible UI change. It is purely a host shell: the layout stays identical to the default DSH view until a feature plugin registers a concrete side or bottom view. End users typically install Workbench alongside a companion such as Files or Terminal. You should install it directly only when you are building the next Workbench view plugin, need to test the shared panel shell in isolation, or want to verify that a DSH profile already carries the common layout before layering local feature plugins on top.

The package is deliberately small. It owns only the shared panel shell and the public contracts; concerns like file browsing, terminal execution, multi-backend conversations, and event delivery are intentionally left to separate optional plugins. It is best suited for DSH plugin developers and teams that want to pre-stage the Workbench foundation in a production profile before adding domain-specific views.
