dsh-update-notifier

If dsh web is your daily driver, one of the easiest things to overlook is the toolchain version itself. New capabilities, interface changes, and critical fixes all live inside a changelog you never get around to reading, and you only find out you are several minor versions behind when something breaks. dsh-update-notifier fills that gap: the moment dsh web starts, the plugin quietly compares the local package.json version against the latest and next dist-tags on the npm registry, correctly handling pre-release identifiers like x.y.z-rc.n.

The cadence is a first check five seconds after startup followed by a poll every six hours, with a manual "Check now" action always available. When an update exists, a dismissible banner appears in the top-right of the shell overlay carrying a one-click copy of the npm install command and a link to the release notes. After dismissing the banner, a lightweight capsule persists above the conversation input dock so you can reopen the details at any time. Dismissal is remembered per version in localStorage, so the banner resurfaces only when a genuinely new version ships.

This is for anyone who treats dsh web as their primary workbench and wants to stay up to date without memorizing commands or bookmarking release pages: open the app and you already know whether it is time to upgrade.
