dsh-web-window-companion

Out of the box, dsh web pops a tab in your everyday browser. If you would rather it behave like a standalone desktop app its own window, its own lifecycle, zero footprint on your daily browsing this plugin was built for exactly that. The core problem it solves: DSH Web should not live as a tab parasitising your main browser; it should open like desktop software and disappear when you close it.

Once installed, dsh web stops opening a browser tab and instead launches Edge or Chrome in App mode: a frameless, tab-free window that carries the auth token automatically and runs under a dedicated browser profile, fully isolated from your daily browsing. Closing that window triggers a graceful shutdown root fiber disposed, port released, process exits cleanly with code 0, no lingering background residue. The plugin is zero-dependency, zero-config, pure JavaScript with no build step; over SSH it stays silent and never grabs window focus.

This is for people who treat DSH Web as a daily desktop tool: open the window to work, close it to stop, no need to hunt for stray processes. If you also want a double-click launcher that skips the terminal entirely, see the companion project dsh-win-quick-launcher, but note both share the same dedicated profile and must not be enabled simultaneously.
