dsh-email-notify

You kick off a long-running task in DeepSeek Harness and step away for a meeting, errand, or break. By the time you return, the task may have finished, a tool may be sitting in a queue waiting for your approval, or the assistant may have posted a question and be blocked until you answer. dsh-email-notify closes that gap: it listens for three event types on the harness side (task completion including errors and aborts, a tool awaiting authorization, and the assistant awaiting your reply) and sends a real-time email to your phone so you never lose track of critical milestones.

Delivery is governed entirely by the Away Mode toggle in the session header, with three states: on, off (the default), and auto. When off, no email is sent at all; when on, every qualifying event triggers a message immediately without the plugin trying to guess whether you are looking at the window. Sending is pure local SMTP with zero external dependencies, supporting QQ Mail, 163, Gmail, Outlook, or any self-hosted server. Your address and authorization code are entered through the DSH settings panel, requiring no command-line steps or hand-edited JSON. Subject and body are both editable templates with fifteen built-in placeholders and a live preview, and the default template is kept short enough to scan quickly on a phone.

If you use DeepSeek Harness for batch jobs, long autonomous coding sessions, or multi-step tool workflows and you sometimes need to leave your desk without losing track of critical moments, this plugin is the offline safety net. It does not change how harness itself works; it simply adds one email channel so the most common blind spot, you left, the window is still open, and nothing alerts you, is covered.
