dsh-selfrepair
从设置页面、斜杠命令或独立 CLI 诊断并修复 DeepSeek Harness (dsh) 安装问题，包括重复的配置文件模块、无法使用的模型配置和损坏的设置；即使 dsh 无法启动也能正常工作。
插件会安装到这里；不确定时保持 web。

Dual-name release since 0.6.0:
dsh-recoveryanddsh-selfrepairship the same code from one repository —dsh-recoveryis the primary name going forward,dsh-selfrepairremains the long-term maintained name for existing installs. Versions always match (publish withnode scripts/publish-both.mjs).
Diagnose and repair a DeepSeek Harness (dsh) installation.
Five checks that catch the failures which surface as something unrelated to their cause - a plugin that cannot mount, a model that cannot be found, a boot that silently falls back - and reversible repairs for the fixable ones.

Three repair surfaces, one engine:
| Surface | Where | Works when dsh cannot start |
|---|---|---|
| 诊断 settings page | dsh web -> 设置 -> 诊断 | no |
/doctor slash command | inside any dsh session | no |
dsh-recovery CLI | any shell | yes |
The CLI is the primary entry point on purpose: the worst failure this tool fixes stops dsh from reaching a prompt at all, so a slash command is unreachable exactly when it is most needed.
| Check | Finds | Auto-fix |
|---|---|---|
duplicate-modules | profile packages that shadow the global dsh install - two dependency-injection systems, every agent preset fails to mount | ✅ relink + backup |
llm-config | stray llm-* keys that silently replace working provider defaults (baseURL: "11111") | ✅ remove bad keys + backup |
settings-yaml | settings.yaml that no longer parses, and the block that broke it | report-only |
agent-default-model | a default model the selected provider's models: list does not contain | report-only |
api-key | providers whose apiKeyEnv is neither in the credential store nor the environment | report-only |
Report-only is deliberate: for those three the tool cannot know what the damaged config was meant to say. Only key names are ever read - never values.
Requires Node.js ≥ 20 and the dsh CLI (npm i -g @deepseek-ai/dsh).
One command adds the plugin to a profile - it installs the package, keeps
dsh.profile.bundles in sync, and composes the shipped bundle patch (the
row that mounts this plugin):
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-recovery
Restart dsh web once and 设置 -> 诊断 appears.
The standalone CLI needs no profile at all - install it globally for the rescue path:
npm install -g dsh-recovery
dsh-recovery status # diagnoses every profile it finds
dsh plugin)cd ~/.dsh/profiles/<name>
npm install dsh-recovery
then add the row to ~/.dsh/profiles/<name>/cordis.patch.yml:
- insert:
- id: plugin-selfrepair
name: 'dsh-recovery'
insert adds a row; a bare - id: entry patches an existing one and fails
with patch: entry "..." not found.
The page is read-mostly - opening it runs a check but never writes. Only the checks that found a problem are listed; a healthy install shows a single 一切正常 and nothing else.
Two detection modes, switched at the top:
settings.yaml (names only, never credential values) - to the default
model for a second opinion, shown as an AI 分析 card. A model failure
degrades to the rules-only view.重新检查 and 一键修复 sit in a bottom-right action bar fixed while the page scrolls. Per-check fixes confirm in place (click twice); 一键修复 is one deliberate click that applies every fixable repair.
dsh-recovery doctor # diagnose AND repair, every profile - the one command to reach for
dsh-doctor doctor # the same thing under the shorter binary name
dsh-recovery # status, every profile (the default action never writes)
dsh-recovery status # read-only through the subcommand too
dsh-recovery fix --profile web # repair one profile (`fix` is what `doctor` is an alias for)
dsh-recovery --fix --profile web # --fix supplies the action with no positional
dsh-recovery fix --only llm-config # scope to one check id
dsh-recovery restore --profile web # undo the most recent fix, from its backup
dsh-recovery rollback --profile web # put the last known-good configuration back
dsh-recovery status --json # machine-readable
doctor repairs; status reports. The command reached for when dsh is broken
has to leave it working, not print a diagnosis - so doctor diagnoses, applies
every fixable repair, and prints what remains. Every repair backs up what it
touches and restore reverses it. Relinked modules only take effect in a new
process, so the repair report names the running dsh processes that still hold
the pre-fix copies.
Exit code is 1 when anything is unhealthy, so it drops straight into a health
check - see examples/healthcheck.sh. Use status
there: it is the action that never writes.
dsh doctordoes not work on dsh 0.1.5-rc.2. The stock 0.1.5 launcher only routes thewebandpluginsubcommands. The customdoctorroute this README used to advertise was a local patch to the installed launcher (@deepseek-ai/dsh/lib/bin.js), and a dsh upgrade wipes it — it has to be re-applied by hand after every upgrade. The standalone global binsdsh-recovery/dsh-doctorsurvive upgrades untouched; use those.
Slash command, inside any dsh session of the profile:
/doctor # report (default) - never writes
/doctor fix # apply the fixable repairs
/doctor restore # reverse the most recent fix
/doctor rollback # put the last known-good configuration back
A fix that cannot be undone is worse than no fix: these repairs touch a
user's installed packages and their settings file. Every fix writes a backup
first - relinked packages move to .dsh-doctor-backup/<timestamp>/,
settings.yaml is copied to settings.yaml.doctor-backup - and restore
reverses the most recent fix from the backup it left behind.
Three of the five checks are report-only because the tool cannot know what a
damaged config was meant to say. It can know what it used to be: a repair
run that ends healthy records settings.yaml and the profile's
cordis.patch.yml as a known-good snapshot, and dsh-recovery rollback puts the
most recent one back.
dsh-recovery doctor # configure it, run this once - the healthy state is recorded
# ...something breaks the config...
dsh-recovery rollback # put the recorded state back
That recovers what no targeted repair can: a settings.yaml that no longer
parses, a default model naming a model that does not exist, a hand-edited
cordis.patch.yml. Snapshots live in
.dsh-doctor-known-good/snapshots/<timestamp>/ (newest 5 kept), an unchanged
configuration keeps its existing snapshot so the timestamp names when the state
last differed, and a rollback backs up what it replaces under
.dsh-doctor-known-good/pre-rollback/<timestamp>/.
restore and rollback answer different questions: restore reverses this
tool's last fix; rollback reverses whatever broke the configuration since it
last worked, whoever did it.
~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml is never snapshotted. This tool reads credential
key names and never their values, and copying a plaintext key store around to
enable a rollback would trade that discipline for a small convenience - so a
provider with a missing API key stays report-only, and no rollback will fix it.
Recording happens on the writing path only. detect may never write (the
settings page runs it on every open), so the snapshot is taken at the end of a
repair run that leaves the installation healthy.
A profile plugin that declares @deepseek-ai/* as ordinary dependencies
(rather than peerDependencies) makes pnpm install a second real copy of the
whole dsh tree into the profile's node_modules - including
@deepseek-ai/cordis. Node keys ESM module identity by resolved real path,
so the profile then runs two dependency-injection systems, and services
registered by one are invisible to the other:
@deepseek-ai/dsh-base (global) -> global cordis, global dsh-system-prompt
dsh-acp-server (local) -> LOCAL cordis, LOCAL dsh-system-prompt
Every agent preset fails to mount with
prompt section "deployment:persona" is already registered, and no session
can start. The fix replaces each copy with a symlink to the global package -
realpath collapses onto one instance. Copies are moved to a backup, never
deleted.
dsh upgrade puts every profile in that stateUpgrading the global dsh moves its whole @deepseek-ai/* tree to a new
release while each profile keeps the copies its lockfile pins - so the split
arrives without anyone touching the profile. A differing version does not make
the copy harmless: the harness's own module graph is only usable as one
instance per process, whatever the version numbers say. Those stale copies are
therefore reported as a failure and relinked onto the global version, which is
the same move a reinstall against the upgraded tree would make (the report
names each version change, and restore reverses it).
Ordinary libraries are the opposite case - two versions of zod coexist fine,
and relinking would silently change the dependency a plugin was built against,
so a non-@deepseek-ai/* package whose version differs is kept as a local copy
by design. A harness copy from a different release line (3.x local vs 4.x
global) is reported but not relinked either: that one needs the profile
reinstalled against the upgraded dsh.
optionaldsh symlinks its own dependency tree into the shared
~/.dsh/profiles/node_modules/ fallback on every boot, so a plugin that
declares @deepseek-ai/* as optional peers resolves them to the same
instance dsh itself runs - one dependency injection system. The moment npm
installs real copies next to the plugin, the realpath identity splits and the
duplicate-modules failure reappears. Optional peers are what keeps the cure
from causing the disease.
lib/checks/*.js, registered in lib/checks/index.js - full contract in
lib/types.d.ts:
export const myCheck = {
id: 'my-check',
title: 'Human readable title',
severity: 'critical', // or 'warning'
fixable: true,
detect(env) { // env = { profileRoot, globalRoot, dshHome }
return { ok: false, summary: '...', detail: ['...'], findings: [...] };
},
fix(env, findings) { // back up, then write
return { fixed: ['...'], failed: [], note: 'backup: ...' };
},
undo(env) { // optional: enables `restore`
return { restored: ['...'], failed: [] };
},
};
detect must never write: the report is safe to run at any time. A check
that throws is reported as a failed check rather than aborting the run, so
one broken probe cannot hide the rest of the diagnosis.
git clone https://github.com/dushaobindoudou/dsh-recovery.git
cd dsh-recovery
npm install
npm test # 149 tests, no network, no dsh install required
npm run typecheck
Tests reproduce both original failures in a sandbox and assert the full fix -> restore round trip.
For a symlinked dev checkout mounted into a profile, point the protocol peer at the running dsh's own copy (same trick as the sibling plugins) so both halves share one instance:
G=$(dirname $(realpath $(which dsh)))/../lib/node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh/node_modules
ln -sfn "$G/@deepseek-ai/dsh-typert-protocol" node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-typert-protocol
