Backs up every session before the DeepSeek Harness Web GUI deletes it, adds multi-select for batch delete/backup to the session list, and restores a backup in one click — all as a user plugin, without touching any installed harness file.
| feature | where you see it |
|---|---|
| automatic backup on delete | nowhere — confirming 彻底删除… (Delete session…) silently writes a backup first |
| multi-select + batch backup/delete | 多选 (Select) in the sidebar footer, a checkbox on each row, and a 选择/加入选择 row in each session's "…" menu |
| backup manager with one-click restore | 备份 (Backups) in the sidebar footer |
Batch delete reuses the same automatic backup, so a batch never removes a session that was not copied first. If a backup fails, the delete is refused and the error is shown — the only copy of a session never disappears because a backup could not be written.
Blank placeholder rows (the provisional 新建会话 / New session row) and archived rows carry no checkbox: the harness renders neither a status slot nor its own actions for them, so they cannot be selected. They hold no conversation to preserve, and the next 新建会话 adopts the blank one.
$DSH_HOME/backups/sessions/<sessionId>/<timestamp>-<title>/
├── session.v4.jsonl.zstd # the session's own directory, copied verbatim
├── …
└── backup.json # manifest: sessionId, title, createdAt, sourcePath, size
The directory name is the local timestamp (20261017-184533) followed by the session's current title, sanitized for the filesystem (/ \ : * ? " < > | and control characters become spaces, capped at 48 characters, untitled when nothing usable remains). Two backups inside the same second get -1, -2 … suffixes. session.lock and .DS_Store never enter a backup; the manifest's backup.json never leaves one on restore.
Attachments are content-addressed and survive session deletion, so the session directory alone is a complete, restorable copy.
dsh-client-ui-workspace reads ctx.remote.session — a compound Cordis service name — and calls deleteSession on it. That read walks the framework's internal/get waterfall, which is where this plugin wraps the service: the normal resolution runs first (whatever resolved it, including dsh-remote-session-inject-fix's fallback), and this plugin wraps whatever comes back so deleteSession copies the session to the backup store before handing the request to the host.
The listener is registered with prepend so it stays outermost regardless of plugin order — the tests cover both orders.
Semantics of a failed backup:
| failure | result |
|---|---|
| host route answers a real error (disk full, conflict, …) | delete refused, failed RemoteResult returned, error dialog shown |
| session has no directory left to back up | delete proceeds (nothing to copy), console note |
| this profile has no Host face mounted (404/405 without our error code) | delete proceeds, console note — the plugin can never become a delete-blocker |
All four are registered on the Host connection below /api, address document-relative by the browser (.slice(1)), and answer JSON:
| method | path | body | answers |
|---|---|---|---|
GET | /api/session.backup.list | — | { backups: [...] } newest first |
POST | /api/session.backup.create | { sessionId } | { backup } with path, title, dirName, bytes, consistent |
POST | /api/session.backup.restore | { path } | { restored } with attached, workspaceId / reason; 409 if the session exists again |
POST | /api/session.backup.remove | { path } | { removed }; prunes an empty session group |
sessionId must match a plain id pattern and every client-supplied path is checked to be strictly inside its root, so no request can reach outside the store. The title comes from the sessionQuery service (readTitle), falling back to untitled when it cannot be read. Before copying a live session the host flushes its in-memory log through the sessions service — the same barrier dsh-session-log-export uses — and each file's size is re-verified after the copy, so a log still being appended is re-copied and a copy that never settles is reported in the manifest (consistent: false) instead of silently shipping a torn file.
readTitle answers with either a bare string or the title provider's snapshot record ({ title, source, eventSeq, … }), depending on which query service the profile has; both are unwrapped, so backups are named after the title the Sidebar shows rather than a generic untitled.
Copying the directory back is only half of a restore. Deleting a session does two things — it removes the directory and drops the id from its Workspace record — and the Sidebar lists Workspace membership, not the raw directory tree, so a restore that only copies files leaves an invisible session behind (verified: it stays hidden even after a full dsh web restart).
So restore finishes by re-attaching the id through the harness's own API, workspace.attachSession(sessionId). That call re-reads the restored session's header from persistence and refuses unless its cwd resolves to that Workspace's path, so the restore cannot attach a session to the wrong project. The response reports the outcome:
restored.attached | meaning |
|---|---|
true | re-attached; workspaceId names the Workspace, and the session is listed again (reload the page if the list was already open) |
false | files are restored but the session stays unlisted; reason says why — no Workspace matches the log's cwd, the header is unreadable, or this profile has no workspaceRegistry |
A failed attachment never fails the request: the bytes are already back, and the copy would only be refused as a conflict on a retry.
index.js and client.jsThe Harness loads this package twice, from two different module systems:
| face | file | consumed by |
|---|---|---|
| host (Node) | index.js | dsh importing exports["."] |
| browser | client.js | the web host, via exports["./client"] |
The web host concatenates every dsh.client.platform: "web" package's client file into a classic script batch served from /plugins/..., so client.js must register itself with window.__ModuleLoader__.load({ id, factory }). Handing it raw ESM makes the whole batch fail with SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' and the boot screen reports import failed (see console for the import error).
client.js is generated from src/client.mjs — never edit it directly:
node scripts/build-client.mjs # regenerate client.js after editing src/client.mjs
node --test "tests/**/*.test.mjs"
The build rewrites each ESM import into a require() of the same specifier (react and @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-primitives are seed words), strips export while recording the exported names, and fails loudly on Node built-ins, export default, or any form it cannot carry. The test suite fails if client.js is stale.
From npm:
dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add dsh-session-backup
From GitHub (pin a tag or commit for a reproducible install):
dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add github:overspread/dsh-session-backup
From a local checkout:
dsh plugin --profile <your-profile> add /path/to/session-backup
dsh --profile <your-profile> --dump-config # expect a "# == dsh-session-backup" layer
Then restart the dsh web server — the host caches each package's resolved client-bundle path in memory, so an added, removed, or re-pointed exports["./client"] only takes effect on a fresh boot.
npm test
| file | covers |
|---|---|
tests/backup-store.test.mjs | naming/sanitizing, inbound guards, locate/create/list/restore/remove against temp dirs, both readTitle answer shapes, and the restore → re-attach matrix (match, symlinked path, missing registry, unreadable header, unknown cwd, failing attach) |
tests/routes.test.mjs | the four HTTP handlers, status codes, and unregistration on dispose |
tests/client-bundle.test.mjs | build freshness, the classic-script wrap, and the forms the build rejects |
tests/delete-interceptor.test.mjs | the interceptor against a real Cordis context: backup ordering, refusal on failure, non-blocking when the Host face is absent, pass-through of other properties, and both registration orders alongside dsh-remote-session-inject-fix |
Every path above was also driven against a live dsh web instance with headless Chrome: boot with the plugin loaded, select → batch backup (directory named <timestamp>-<title> with the real title), the harness's own delete dialog writing its automatic backup, one-click restore re-listing the session, batch delete backing up before removing, and deleting backups from the manager.
The plugin lives in your profile (~/.dsh/profiles/<name>), not inside the installed harness, so upgrading dsh does not remove it. Uninstall with dsh plugin --profile <name> remove dsh-session-backup.
Releasing a new version:
node scripts/build-client.mjs && npm test
npm version patch
npm publish # needs an npm login; the tarball ships client.js as built
git push --follow-tags
The package has no runtime dependencies; run the build before packing so the tarball ships a client.js matching the current src/client.mjs (the tests check this). The files list in package.json keeps node_modules, the tests, and src/ out of the tarball.
