dsh-maestro-devkit

dsh-maestro-devkit was the integrated frontend development toolkit in the dsh-maestro suite, designed to let developers complete visual review, hot iteration, and style debugging entirely within a dsh web session without constantly switching between browser DevTools, the terminal, and an editor. Its tunnel-aware design worked equally well in local and https-tunnel deployment topologies, keeping the toolchain decoupled from infrastructure setup.

The toolkit spanned six capability areas: frontend_capture grabbed DOM trees and geometry data across three viewports in a single call; frontend_hmr watched file changes via chokidar, auto-classified each edit as a hot-patch, a client build, or a host restart, and curl-verified the target URL; frontend_inspect read real getComputedStyle values through a client-registered RPC channel and displayed them in an inline overlay panel; frontend_isolate sandboxed a single slot with editable JSON props and a viewport switcher; devkit_session listed and inspected live sessions; and devkit_govard plus devkit_skills provided allowlisted command execution alongside filesystem-level skill listing and scaffolding.

It is important to note that this plugin has been officially retired and will no longer receive runtime releases. The maintainers recommend Chrome DevTools/CDP for frontend inspection, package-local build tooling for client iteration, dsh-maestro-supervisor with dsh-safe-restart for host reloads, dsh-maestro-govard for Govard operations, maestro-skills and skill-creator for skills, and core Cordis/session tools for introspection. Existing 0.3.2 artifacts remain installable for rollback purposes, but there is no single drop-in replacement, so teams should migrate to the above components individually.
