dsh-draft-sessions
Persistent, unsent future conversations for DeepSeek Harness.
dsh-draft-sessions is building the Cursor-like workflow where you can prepare several independent tasks, leave them unsent, and return to each task later without starting an agent.
[!IMPORTANT]
This repository is an early alpha. The durable draft lifecycle, composer bridge, and sidebar interactions are implemented. Release qualification across restarts, browsers, platforms, and supported DSH versions is still in progress.

The intended experience
my-project
├─ ● Fix auth middleware
├─ ◌ Add Grafana dashboards Draft
├─ ◌ Refactor docker entrypoint Draft
└─ ● Implement notifications
Each draft owns a real blank DSH Session, but its unsent text is stored separately on the Host. If that blank Session disappears after a restart, a new shell can be created and rebound without losing the task.

What works now
- Host-backed JSON persistence under
$DSH_HOME/storages/dsh-draft-sessions/drafts.json.
- Strict typed
draftSessions.list/create/update/delete/rebind Remote methods.
- Independent workspace ordering and a configurable per-workspace limit.
- Optimistic revisions that reject stale browser writes.
- Atomic same-directory writes and strict durable-file validation.
- Distinct blank Session creation with the id persisted only after success.
- Missing Session detection and recovery rebinding without changing draft text.
- Accepted-Send observation with finalization only after
blank: false.
- Rejected Send and blank slash-command preservation.
- Exact composer restore through the official per-session InputHub facade.
- Debounced optimistic autosave with a mandatory pre-switch flush.
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N creation in the current or recent Workspace.- Muted draft rows before ordinary Sessions through the pinned upstream workspace browser.
- Inline rename, duplicate, confirmed delete, keyboard navigation, and bounded drag reorder.
- Safe active-draft deletion with a final autosave flush and recovery after a rejected delete.
- Compatibility fallback to the untouched upstream browser when replacement activation is unsafe.
- Unit and DOM coverage for persistence, concurrency, lifecycle, composer, and sidebar behavior.
The current implementation deliberately does not send prompts, modify ordinary Session history, or delete blank Sessions.
Requirements
- Node.js
^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0
- pnpm 11
- DeepSeek Harness
next, currently >=0.1.1-rc.2 <0.2.0
The next requirement is intentional: the plugin uses the current Typert Remote API published by DSH.
Development
cd dsh-draft-sessions
pnpm install
pnpm check
Build and link the checkout into a Web profile:
pnpm build
dsh plugin --profile web add .
dsh --profile web --dump-config
For a GitHub installation, DSH also supports dsh plugin --profile web add github:owner/dsh-draft-sessions. Because Git dependencies build from source, pnpm will require the user to allow this package's prepare script. Prefer an npm release or packed tarball when you do not want install-time build permission.
Remove the linked package with:
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-draft-sessions
Releases
Releases are built from existing v-prefixed SemVer tags by the manual Release workflow. The workflow checks out the exact tag, runs the full quality gate, replaces the package version with the tag version, creates an npm tarball and SHA-256 checksum, smoke-tests a clean tarball install, uploads the workflow artifact, and creates a GitHub Release with generated notes.
Maintainers can start it from Actions → Release → Run workflow, or with GitHub CLI:
git tag -a v0.1.0-rc.1 -m "v0.1.0-rc.1"
git push origin v0.1.0-rc.1
gh workflow run release.yml -f tag=v0.1.0-rc.1 -f publish_npm=false
Prerelease tags publish to the npm next dist-tag; stable tags use latest. npm publication is disabled by default. To enable the opt-in publish job:
- Bootstrap the package on npm if it has not been published before.
- Configure npm trusted publishing for this GitHub repository, workflow filename
release.yml, environment npm, and the npm publish action.
- Create the protected GitHub environment named
npm, then run the workflow with publish_npm=true.
The publish job uses GitHub OIDC instead of a long-lived npm token. A GitHub Release is always created before npm publication is attempted.
Configuration
The bundle inserts the draft-sessions Cordis row. Override it from the profile patch when needed:
- id: draft-sessions
config:
# Blank uses $DSH_HOME/storages/dsh-draft-sessions/drafts.json
storagePath: ""
maxDraftsPerWorkspace: 50
Current API
await ctx.remote.draftSessions.list({ workspaceId });
await ctx.draftSessionLifecycle.create({
workspaceId,
text: "",
});
await ctx.draftSessionLifecycle.ensureShell(draft);
await ctx.draftComposerBridge.open(draft);
await ctx.draftComposerBridge.flush();
await ctx.draftShortcutController.create(workspaceId);
await ctx.remote.draftSessions.update({
id,
expectedRevision: 4,
text: "Add OTEL export",
});
await ctx.remote.draftSessions.rebind({
id,
expectedRevision: 5,
sessionId: replacementSessionId,
});
The lifecycle service owns blank Session creation and recovery. The lower-level Remote methods remain available for storage operations; all mutations return the next revision, and a stale expectedRevision is rejected instead of silently overwriting another browser's edit.
Design boundaries
- Draft text is authoritative in
DraftStore; a blank Session is only an execution shell.
- Creating a draft must never make a model request.
- The first accepted prompt, not the Send button click, is the conversion boundary.
- Ordinary DSH Sessions remain owned entirely by DSH.
- Attachments are out of scope for v1; text and textual
@file references come first.
- The upstream workspace browser currently has no public row-extension seam, so exact sidebar integration requires a small, version-tracked replacement package.
See SPEC.md for acceptance criteria and docs/architecture.md for the lifecycle.
