dsh-version-badge

In the DSH Web interface, version numbers are the first thing developers check and yet the hardest to find quickly. dsh-version-badge pins a persistent badge just above the settings button in the sidebar, so the current DSH version is always visible at a glance. Clicking the badge expands a panel that lists the version of every core package—CLI, base, web-app, web-frontend, and agent—eliminating the need to open a terminal or dig through documentation.

Inside that panel, the Check Update button queries the npm registry with a 60-second cache and surfaces any newer release when one is available. Upgrading takes a single click: the global dsh CLI is upgraded to the latest dist-tag, the process detaches from the current session and re-launches automatically, with no manual commands required.

The plugin is zero-dependency, running as a pure host plugin with inline script injection and no client-side build. On the security side, write operations accept only loopback requests, reject forwarding headers, and require the Origin header to match the Host; deployment always uses the npm latest tag and ignores any client-supplied tag or version string. It is ideal for developers and operators who work in the DSH Web interface daily and want instant version visibility with a frictionless upgrade path.
