dsh-price-less

Long AI-coding sessions hit an uncomfortable paradox: the context window keeps growing, every request pays for early turns that are now irrelevant, and the information that actually matters gets buried under hundreds of rounds of tool output and verbose logs. dsh-price-less is an unofficial context steward for DeepSeek Harness that uses explicit task boundaries, a persistent project brief, tool-output shear, and boundary-aware compaction to fold stale content into a versioned archive, so only the lean context the current task needs reaches the model.

Four defence layers fire in sequence: write-time shaping trims oversized process logs before they are booked, exchange-pair shear drops reads that have been superseded by a later write, compaction folds closed tasks into an archive with a hot tail when the window hits the 35 percent pressure line, and restore replays state with pure functions on session resume. Every path follows a fail-lazy rule - on any doubt nothing changes - and every action leaves a replayable fact log, so your content is never silently lost.

This plugin is aimed at developers who run long, multi-task coding sessions inside DeepSeek Harness and want every token sent to the model to earn its place. If you are comfortable working in a local harness source tree (Node 20+, ESM) and do not want to hand-roll truncation rules or risk losing critical context, this is worth exploring. It is still experimental and tightly coupled to a specific host build, so back up your sessions directory before first use.
