web-directory-picker

Clicking "Add Workspace…" in the DeepSeek Harness web UI by default hands the call to Node.js, which in turn opens the operating system's native folder picker. It works, but it shatters the visual and interaction continuity of the product: no breadcrumb navigation, no inline folder creation, no unified error messaging. web-directory-picker exists to close that gap, pulling directory selection back inside the application so users stay in a single, consistent interface.

The bundle ships zero runtime code of its own. It declares a composition patch via dsh.bundle.patch that wires together the officially maintained browse pair (host backend and browser surface) already present in the product. Once DSH is restarted, both the sidebar "Add Workspace…" entry and the new-session workspace selector present the in-app Web directory browser, complete with localized strings, breadcrumb-level navigation, inline folder creation, and full error-state handling, without ever falling through to the OS native folder dialog.

If you juggle multiple project workspaces, switch directories frequently from the web interface, or simply value a coherent UI with accessible detail, this lightweight bundle is worth adding. It does not alter any underlying path-resolution logic; it only reroutes the presentation layer to the officially maintained components. Uninstall it and everything reverts to the prior behavior, with zero side effects.
