dsh-update-checker

If you run DSH as your daily driver, keeping up with releases tends to slip. Manually checking the npm page for a newer version is tedious and easy to forget, while loud pop-up alerts break your flow. dsh-update-checker makes the whole thing nearly invisible: at startup it quietly queries the npm registry in the background without blocking boot, and only when a newer release actually exists does a small icon appear in the web sidebar footer. Otherwise it stays completely silent.

Expand the icon and you get a side-by-side view of the current and latest version, a one-click copy button for the update command, a direct link to the npm page, and a per-version dismiss option so an already-seen release never nags you again. The entire host-side logic is pure in-memory with zero disk writes; the only persistent state is a single few-byte key in browser localStorage. If the registry is unreachable or the network fails, nothing is shown and nothing crashes.

This plugin is for developers who treat DSH as a primary daily environment and want passive, zero-effort version awareness without having to remember release dates or run periodic checks. When you are ready to move on, a single command uninstalls it cleanly.
