About this plugin
Every chat request sent through DeepSeek Harness carries extra correlated fields in the header — the Harness user ID, session identifier, and context-compaction markers. These are not required for the chat to function, yet they create additional traceable linkage beyond what the conversation itself already transmits.
dsh-request-privacy adds a request-privacy toggle to the DSH settings page. When enabled, the next DeepSeek request switches to a private-client identity and drops the associated fields; when disabled, native headers are restored and everything proceeds as before. The toggle takes effect on the very next request, applies to existing conversations, and requires no restart.
It is aimed at users who are sensitive to request-level metadata and want to minimise the correlated information sent to the service provider. Note that it is not an official do-not-use-for-training switch: API keys, chat content, and tool descriptions are still transmitted, and the plugin does not cover file uploads, telemetry, or third-party providers.

Use Cases
- Chat requests no longer carry Harness user ID, session ID, or compaction markers

- Disabling the switch restores native headers on the very next request with no disruption
Best For
- DeepSeek Harness users who prioritise request-metadata minimisation
- Developers seeking fewer correlated fields in outgoing requests
- Community members comfortable with the DSH plugin ecosystem
