dsh-switch: A Model Control Plane Plugin for DeepSeek Harness

dsh-switch is an evidence-first model control plane plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH). It provides two independent functions: first, within DSH, it checks registered Provider routes and the default model via `dsh_switch_status`, and verifies and saves the default model settings for new sessions via `dsh_switch_default`, affecting only new sessions and never intercepting or rerouting active session requests; second, it offers a standalone CLI tool for read-only probing of OpenAI-compatible `/models` endpoints, reporting reachability, HTTP status, latency, model counts, and credential configuration status, without consuming inference tokens or verifying end-to-end generation capability. The plugin emphasizes security boundaries and rejects embedding...

Cloudflare Meerkat: Rewriting the Global Distributed Control Plane with QuePaxa Leaderless Consensus

In July 2026, Cloudflare released the experimental consensus service Meerkat. Based on the QuePaxa algorithm proposed in 2023, it implements leaderless writes and has verified the globally strongly consistent control plane in scenarios with over 330 data centers. This article sorts out its design motivations compared to Raft, consensus log architecture, performance boundaries and PoC progress, and summarizes the community's discussions on the industrial implementation of asynchronous consensus.
