dsh-treekeeper

When you run multiple plugins and subagent sessions concurrently inside DSH, the host process keeps spawning new children. Over time, leaked children, orphaned processes, and forgotten plugin subtasks pile up quietly — they are absent from the job ledger and hard to spot in a system task manager. dsh-treekeeper exists to close that blind spot: it lays the host OS process descendants side by side with the available task ledger so you can see exactly who is still running and who has been left behind.

The workflow has three layers. Sampling targets only the direct descendants of the DSH host, so unrelated children from the launcher are never misattributed. Detection flags duplicate command lines, orphaned processes, and long-running plugin subtasks. Attribution cross-references jobs and the selected session subagent descendant tree without waking cold sessions. Once an anomaly surfaces, open the global panel from the Mini Utility Dock or click straight into the current session from its title bar. After confirming, trigger a protected tree termination — system-critical processes, the host itself, the launch chain, and whitelisted PIDs are all untouchable, and PID creation time is re-verified right before the kill. Every finding and action is appended to history.jsonl for later audit.

If you use DSH on Windows with multi-plugin, multi-subagent workflows and would rather not dig through Task Manager by hand every time, dsh-treekeeper is a lightweight, auditable session-level governance panel worth adding to your profile. It does not replace system-wide monitoring; it simply gives the one DSH host process tree the focused governance it deserves.
