dsh-max-effort
A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Host bundle: every model switch lands on the
highest reasoning effort that model advertises, so picking Max never costs a
second click. Requests that name no effort are lifted to the same level.
中文速览
- 作用：在 DSH 里切换模型时，自动选中该模型支持的最高思考强度（有
max 就是 Max，否则取最高档），标签也会直接显示，不用再点第二次。
- 安装：DSH 侧边栏 Plugins 里安装 bundle，填
github:kings0527/dsh-max-effort；或让 agent 用 plugin_manager 的 install_bundle 安装这个地址。
- 装完：刷新 GUI 一次（Ctrl+R），再切模型即可看到最高档。
- 仓库是私有时，那台电脑需要先有可用的 GitHub 凭据。
Install on another computer
From GitHub (recommended)
Open the sidebar Plugins page and install the bundle with this spec:
github:kings0527/dsh-max-effort
The full git URL works too: git+https://github.com/kings0527/dsh-max-effort.git.
If the plugin_manager tool is available in a session, the same thing is:
Install the bundle github:kings0527/dsh-max-effort with plugin_manager install_bundle.
For a private repository, that machine's git must already be authenticated to
GitHub (HTTPS credential or SSH). Public repositories need no extra setup.
From a clone
git clone https://github.com/kings0527/dsh-max-effort.git
Then install that directory as a bundle (Plugins page or
plugin_manager install_bundle with the absolute path).
After installing
Refresh the Web GUI once (Ctrl+R). The model catalog is cached by the open
page; the refresh makes it refetch the Host defaults. Afterwards, switching
models shows and stores the highest level.
The plugin appears as Max Reasoning Default / 思考强度默认最高.
Why
The composer model seat and the /model popup build a selection from the
clicked model's reasoning.defaultEffort. When that field is absent (the
pi-ai routes such as zai-coding-cn and opencode-go do not set one), the
selection carries no effort, the caption reads “Default”, and picking the
highest level costs a second click every time. DeepSeek advertises high as
its default, so Max takes the same extra click there.
What it does
| Seam | Effect |
|---|
llm.resolveModelInfo() | Advertises the highest advertised effort as the model's reasoning.defaultEffort, so the model catalog makes every switch carry it and the caption shows it. |
agent/request waterfall | A frozen call configuration without an explicit reasoningEffort is given the highest advertised effort before llm.prepareCall() validates it. Explicit efforts are preserved. |
Models with no reasoning metadata, or whose only level is off, are left
unchanged. For a model whose top level is high rather than max, the highest
advertised level is what gets selected.
Implementation note
ctx.llm is a traceable proxy whose reads wrap every method in a second proxy,
so the override and its guard use Symbol.for('cordis.original') to reach the
raw service. Writing through the proxy also lands on the raw instance, but the
explicit target keeps the guard meaningful. If a future DSH release removes
llm.resolveModelInfo, the plugin row fails at activation instead of silently
reverting to “Default”.
Configuration
Both switches default to true; override them in the profile patch when
needed.
- id: max-effort
name: '@local/dsh-max-effort'
config:
catalogDefault: true
requestFallback: true
catalogDefault: false keeps the shipped catalog defaults; requestFallback: false stops lifting effort-free requests. Set both to false to park the
plugin without uninstalling it.
Test
node test/highest-effort.mjs
No dependencies; plain Node ESM.
Uninstall
Disable or remove the bundle on the Plugins page. Updating the plugin code
requires a DSH restart to drop the previous module generation; a profile
change alone reloads the bundle through HMR.
