dsh-webview-wrapper

The DeepSeek Harness Web surface currently lives in a browser tab, which always feels one step short of a real desktop app. dsh-webview-wrapper takes a deliberately simple approach: it uses WebviewJS to call the OS-native webview engine—WebView2 on Windows, WebKit on macOS and Linux—and hosts the already-running Web app inside a native window. No Electron, no bundled browser, no kernel patch.

The plugin mounts through pure composition: its bundle patch layer inserts a single row into the profile composition stack and that is the entire integration. Closing the window hides the app into the system tray while a 1-by-1 keep-alive window holds the process alive; the tray menu offers Show and Quit, and a double-click on the icon reopens the window. Unloading the plugin or shutting down the profile triggers a clean exit through the effect disposer, leaving no stray processes behind.

It is built for users who want a desktop-app feel for DeepSeek Harness without an Electron build step or any changes to the core. The current release is intentionally minimal—fixed 1024-by-768 window, loopback HTTP transport, no menu bar, no native notifications—and the author has logged WebviewJS IPC, OS notifications, and a GUI-subsystem executable as the immediate roadmap.
