dsh-wsl-launcher

If you run DeepSeek Harness inside WSL on Windows, you probably know the ritual well: open a terminal, type the command, wait for the port, then manually pop a browser tab. Ten times a day and your fingers go mechanical. dsh-wsl-launcher deletes the whole ritual: after installing, a whale-icon shortcut appears on your Windows desktop, and a single double-click takes care of everything.

The internals stay deliberately simple. The shortcut drives a pure-ASCII bash script through wsl.exe; the script resolves dsh via PATH, login shell, or a recorded path in order. If the port is already listening it just opens the browser—double-click ten times and nothing breaks. If the port is free it spawns dsh web as a detached daemon, polls until ready, then launches the default Windows browser. Everything runs through WSL interop, no extra Windows files are created, and uninstalling removes only the shortcut and the launcher directory. Clean.

The plugin also registers a wsl_launcher tool inside any session, so an agent can install, check status, open, stop, or uninstall the launcher on its own—handy when you want to delegate environment management to a model. On non-WSL hosts the plugin loads fine without creating anything, and status remains available. If you live in WSL1 or WSL2 and use the DeepSeek Harness Web UI daily, this is the one-click desktop entry point you have been missing.
