dsh-notifier

Running agent tasks in DSH means approvals, questions, completions, and errors all depend on you happening to stare at that one browser tab. Step away for a few minutes and the approval stalls, the finished task goes unnoticed, and the error is silently swallowed. dsh-notifier is a standalone client plugin built to close exactly that gap.

It translates the DSH event stream into dual-channel real-time alerts: native system toasts (PowerShell WinRT on Windows, osascript on macOS, notify-send on Linux, with zero extra dependencies) complemented by the browser Notification API. Coverage spans four core event types, namely approvals, questions, completions, and errors. Completion detection uses a dual-source latest-wins strategy to prevent missed reports, subagent completion has its own toggle, and errors and completions are mutually exclusive to avoid duplicate noise. DND windows support overnight ranges with emergency exceptions for critical events, approvals pending beyond a threshold trigger a second reminder, and simultaneous task endings aggregate into a single summary so your notification center does not drown.

On the security side, notification text carries only metadata (never tool parameters) and passes through an ordered redaction table covering file paths, keys, connection strings, tokens, and email addresses before reaching the user; the API layer is protected by a loopback fence. If you run multi-agent workloads in DSH, approve frequently, delegate to subagents, or simply prefer to step away from the desk and wait for a quiet done or error alert on your phone, this plugin frees you from the watch-the-screen loop for good.
