The flat session list mixes sessions from every workspace, so a title alone does not
say where the session lives. This plugin puts the owning workspace on a second line
under the title, and keeps the full, untruncated name in the row's hover card.
Session rows before and after enabling the plugin
What you get
- In one list (
View options → Group by → In one list) renders each session as a
two-line row: title and relative time on top, the workspace name below.
- Sessions that belong to no registered workspace read Ungrouped.
- The automatic default workspace reads as a localized "Default workspace".
- Grouped and Workspace Tree views are unchanged — their workspace headers
already name the workspace.
- Hovering a row shows the full workspace name in the hover card, even when the
second line had to truncate a long name.
Install
From npm:
dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-plugin-sidebar-workspace-names
You can also install it from the Plugins page in the desktop app. Restart the profile
and refresh the page once.
From a checkout instead (no build step, no dependencies):
git clone https://github.com/The-Focus-AI/dsh-plugin-sidebar-workspace-names
dsh plugin --profile desktop add ~/The-Focus-AI/dsh-plugin-sidebar-workspace-names
How it works
It is an ordinary Cordis client plugin bundle — no harness source is patched, forked,
or monkey-patched:
sidebar.workspaces.session.row.action hosts the workspace chip.sidebar.session.row.hover hosts the full name inside the hover card.- A small stylesheet turns flat-view session rows into two-line rows and scopes every
rule to the flat list, so grouped views keep their shipped 32px rows.
client.js ships as plain JavaScript on purpose: the harness injects client plugin
bundles into the page as a classic script, so the file reaches the JS engine verbatim.
There is no build step and no runtime type stripping in the browser.
Known limits
- Row DOM coupling. The chip is placed relative to ui-workspace's session row
(
[data-row-key="session:…"]) and the always-mounted row action strip. That is a
decoration contract, not a public API; engines.dsh pins the tested range, and a
harness change should get a plugin version bump.
- The strip's own controls are hidden while the chip shows. Because the chip shares
the strip with archive/pin, those buttons are suppressed on flat rows and come back on
hover; a harness change to the strip's markup can strand them visible.
:has() is required for the flat-view scoping (Chromium 105+, Safari 15.4+).
Without it the chip simply stays hidden.- Fixed two-line height. Workspace names longer than the line ellipsize; the hover
card carries the full name. Rows are 48px tall in the flat view.
- Blank New Session rows have no action strip, so they keep the single-line height.
- No visual test. The suite covers name resolution only; the layout is CSS against
another package's DOM.
