dsh-thincoder-suite

Most AI code-review tools run an unbounded loop: every round surfaces a fresh issue, the reviewer anchors on the previous conclusion and keeps digging instead of verifying, file and line citations may be recalled from memory (or invented), and the same model both writes and audits its own output. dsh-thincoder-suite ports four self-discipline mechanisms from the open-source thincoder project into a single DSH (DeepSeek Harness) desktop-shell plugin, replacing that open-ended cycle with a reconciliation process that has explicit termination conditions, verifiable evidence, and per-round authority decay.

The plugin ships four tool groups. advisor enforces convergent multi-round review: at most five rounds with strictly decreasing authority, a mandatory response table (Fixed / Not an issue / Deferred) for every cited issue, on-disk verification of every file:line reference so fabricated citations are flagged, and a fresh context injected each round to prevent anchoring bias. eng implements a design-before-code dual gate: the design review requires a user-issued eight-character approval code before write permission unlocks, and without a valid token any write or edit call targeting product code paths is intercepted at the tool pre-execute stage. escalate (the "fang dao") hands the task plus full write access to a stronger model from a configured pool when the current one is out of its depth; the stronger model writes the fix and returns a post-operation report for the developer to verify. consult starts a parallel, read-only multi-model consultation on a stuck problem: several configured models analyze independently, the developer reads replies in arrival order, and stops early once one is sufficient.

The plugin suits DSH developers who want structured, budgeted AI-assisted coding rather than unbounded generation: reviews that terminate with verifiable evidence, design gates that force thinking before code, an escalation path for hard problems, and a multi-model consultation mechanism for the truly stuck cases. If you find yourself staring at a review that keeps producing "new" issues round after round, or writing code before the design is settled, this suite adds the discipline layer on top of the existing DSH shell without requiring a separate CLI or build step.
