An agent-project workbench for DeepSeek Harness — a sidebar app drawer that turns every project into dockable windows, plus a built-in control room that watches them all in real time.

✨ Feature tour

🧩 Sidebar app drawer

Collects your self-hosted projects (and resident plugins like dsh-travelatlas) in one place
Rename / icon / reorder / hide each project; per-project folder; project ↔ conversation binding — opening a project switches the chat pane to its bound conversation
Collapse the sidebar and every project becomes a tappable square tile (icon only)

🪟 Dockable split workspace

Declarative layout presets (left column / top row / main grid + right chat pane)
Draggable dividers, per-pane tabs, per-layout width persistence
Built-in panes: file explorer, terminal, browser, animation site, custom window
Custom window: send a requirement to a new or existing conversation; the agent builds it and the result auto-mounts into the window (locked)

🖥️ Control room (built-in default project)

A pinned, undeletable first project — bind one management conversation on first open
3-column card grid mirrors every project: working / needs you / done with live runtime, subagent counts and a cleaned message preview
Event-driven host snapshot mirroring — zero polling, zero tokens
Glassmorphism cards, dark / light / system theme, neon status glows and a rotating comet on busy cards

At a glance


🧩 Plugin type	Cordis plugin — host routes + web client, pure additive (no official plugin replaced)
🪟 Workspace engine	Self-built split engine rendered into the host shell overlay seat
💬 Chat pane	Reuses the host conversation — the plugin only selects sessions (`sessions.open`)
📡 Status data	Mirror of the host session runtime snapshots (subscription-driven)
💾 State	localStorage only (`dsh.worktable.*`); no workspace files touched
🎨 UI	TypeScript + React (host externals) + vanilla CSS, dark-first with light theme

Quick start

Install: dsh plugin --profile web add "link:<repo>/01_content" and register dsh-worktable in the profile bundle list
Restart the DSH web process, refresh the GUI
Open the control room: click the pinned 🖥️ control-room card → bind one conversation (join existing or create new) → you get the live card grid
Create projects: sidebar ＋ → pick a layout preset, set a project folder

Architecture

One package ships the host Cordis plugin and the web client:

host: /api/worktable/* routes — health, file system, git, file read/write, site serving, mkdir, workspaces, native skin template; WebSocket /api/worktable/term for the terminal pane (PowerShell on Windows)
client: injected into the sidebar and the shell overlay via the slot protocol; the split engine, tab model, drag/drop and persistence are self-built
control room: reads the host session list snapshot (running / pending / completed, jobs, subagent catalogs) — an event-driven mirror, no model involvement
window tasks: the agent writes widget-result.json into the project folder on completion; the client mounts the artifact into the addressed window and locks it

Development & testing

cd 01_content
npm install
npm run build     # lib/index.js + lib/client.js
node --check lib/index.js

Build must run inside 01_content — building from the repo root writes lib/ to the wrong place while the host keeps loading the old bundle
The client bundle keeps the window.__ModuleLoader__.load handshake; react and @deepseek-ai/* stay external
Regression: 04_test/functional-diag.cjs (20 steps) plus targeted probes (control room, bind panel, collapsed rail, model inheritance)

Known limits

State lives in the browser (localStorage) — projects, bindings and views do not sync across machines
The terminal pane is a plain PowerShell host on Windows (no PTY feature parity with the native terminal app)
Auto-mount requires the agent to actually write widget-result.json in the project folder
The control room monitors projects that are bound to a conversation; unbound projects show as idle

Privacy

No telemetry, no network calls beyond the host APIs and the plugin routes. All user state stays in localStorage.
