dsh-progress-overlay

Kicking off a long DSH task and then switching to another app means you keep alt-tabbing back just to check where things stand. dsh-progress-overlay solves that with a small, always-on-top Windows window in the corner of your screen that shows in real time the current phase (thinking, reading, editing, running commands, testing), the file or command being handled, genuine step progress, elapsed time, and the final outcome. It keeps working even when the DSH main window is minimized, covered, or in the background.

A few capabilities stand out. The overlay never steals focus, so state refreshes never interrupt your typing. Progress percentages appear only when DSH todo events carry real completed/total counts; otherwise the window simply shows phase and activity, with no fabricated numbers. It is a pure read-only observer, meaning a crashed or closed overlay never affects the running task. Multiple concurrent tasks are listed individually with their phases and elapsed times. Fullscreen apps trigger auto-hide, and completed tasks auto-dismiss after a short delay. Perhaps most practically, when DSH raises an approval request, the overlay surfaces Allow and Deny buttons right on the card, so you can approve or reject without ever switching back to the main window.

Who it is for: Windows users running multi-step, long-duration tasks in DeepSeek Harness who want a glance-able status indicator that stays out of the way, while still being able to act on approval prompts instantly without hunting for the right window.
