DeepSeek Harness Desktop: Embedding the dsh web interface into a native desktop window
DeepSeek Harness Desktop is a desktop window plugin within the DeepSeek Harness ecosystem, designed to address the user need for quick local access to the `dsh web` interface without relying on a browser. Built on Electron, this plugin directly loads the real Web UI of the current `dsh web` profile instead of an independent frontend, thereby preserving all original capabilities. It supports multiple launch entry points, including desktop shortcuts, the Start menu, the installation directory, and the `/desktop` command within the Web UI. By default, it uses a light theme and can be switched to the Dark Codex skin, with external links opened via the system browser. Installation requires Node.js 22.19+, and it is available as a Git clone, Zip portable version, and Setup.exe.

`whale-on-desk` is a DSH plugin maintained by cookiesheep, designed to provide a pixel whale desktop pet for DeepSeek Harness, compatible with both the DSH web interface and desktop version. Positioned as an interactive component under the "everything is a plugin" framework, it does not replace Agent workflows but rather transforms status, approvals, and notifications into visible interactions, and is declared read-only, with no access to sessions or files. Its core capabilities include real-time reflection of Agent runs, outputs, tool calls, and success/failure states; alerting via the whale tapping on glass and amber pulses when approval is requested; and offering sound synthesis, position memory, a growth system, and a `whale_say` notification tool. Distinctive features encompass a full-screen aquarium mode, a workshop supporting AI-generated custom pets (requiring ffmpeg), and GIF-based functionality.
