dsh-autostart

Rebooting DeepSeek Harness on Windows is never trivial: a single failed exit can leave the port occupied, stale processes lingering, and the service never coming back. On top of that, every spawned command used to pop up its own black console window. dsh-autostart tackles both problems in one plugin.

The design centers on a persistent supervisor process that owns a hidden console. DSH attaches to it at startup, so every derived command shares that single console instead of spawning a new window each time. Before granting a restart, the plugin verifies the supervisor is alive, writes the restart request to disk, and reads it back. If any check fails, the restart is refused and DSH stays where it is, eliminating the classic killed-but-never-returned scenario. The supervisor only relaunches DSH on an explicit restart request; a normal exit simply lets it wind down quietly.

Built for Windows 10/11 users who rely on DeepSeek Harness daily and want autostart, reliable one-click restart, zero visible console windows, and full logging for post-mortem analysis.
