dsh-release-proof
Reproducible multi-source release evidence for DeepSeek Harness.
dsh-release-proof downloads every mirror declared in an explicit release manifest, verifies HTTP status, advertised and actual byte length, SHA-256, and release version, then writes a content-addressed JSON evidence file. It is aimed at the gap between “CI passed” and “users are receiving the same release from every download endpoint.”
Version 0.2.0 is a formal Codex plugin and standalone MCP server, and uses the namespace export shape required by the stock DSH Web Loader. A real Cordis boot regression test guards that loader contract.
This tool proves transport and mirror consistency against values supplied by the manifest. It does not prove publisher identity or verify signed release attestations; use a signature/provenance verifier alongside it when that is part of your threat model.
Safety model
- Anonymous HTTP(S) only: source credentials, custom headers, cookies, query strings, and URL fragments are rejected.
- Every request has a manifest-bounded timeout, redirect count, and maximum response size.
- A worker pool caps total concurrent source checks (1–16).
- The manifest must declare the expected version, bytes, and SHA-256; each artifact needs at least two sources.
- The only write target is the explicit, workspace-relative
artifactDir. Traversal and symlink escape are rejected.
- Evidence is content addressed, written exclusively, read back, and SHA-256 verified.
- Evidence contains no timestamps or latency measurements, so identical observations produce byte-identical JSON.
Install in DSH
dsh plugin --profile web add github:dongsheng123132/dsh-release-proof
The package exposes a standard DSH bundle through package.json#dsh.bundle.patch and registers:
dsh_release_proof_inspect — safely summarize a manifest without returning URLs.dsh_release_proof_verify — verify all sources and write a proof artifact.
Typical tool arguments:
{
"manifestPath": "release/release-manifest.json",
"artifactDir": "release/evidence"
}
MCP
The plugin also exposes a standalone stdio MCP server through .mcp.json:
release_manifest_inspectrelease_verify
MCP accepts an explicit inline manifestJson of at most 1 MiB. It does not read or write the filesystem. Verification still uses anonymous HTTP(S), the manifest's timeout/concurrency/redirect/byte limits, and returns a deterministic content-address descriptor that can be recomputed by the caller.
CLI
dsh-release-proof inspect \
--root /path/to/workspace \
--manifest release/release-manifest.json
dsh-release-proof verify \
--root /path/to/workspace \
--manifest release/release-manifest.json \
--artifact-dir release/evidence
Exit code 0 means every check passed, 2 means a valid proof was written but the release failed verification, and 1 means an operational or manifest error.
Manifest
See examples/release-manifest.example.json. A source can obtain the version from an artifact response header:
{ "kind": "header", "name": "x-release-version" }
or an anonymous JSON sidecar:
{ "kind": "json", "url": "https://downloads.example.com/version.json", "field": "release.version" }
field is a dot-separated object path. Redirect targets receive the same anonymous-URL validation before they are requested.
