DeepSeek Harness compatibility

September 7, 2026 · View on GitHub

Local Link touches version-sensitive Harness Host, slot, theme, layout, session, and Settings contracts. Each supported version is therefore checked directly.

Compatibility matrix

Last checked on 2026-09-07 with Node.js 22 and Windows using the packed dsh-local-link@1.1.0 release source for every row. Versions are newest first.

Versions older than 0.1.0-rc.8 are untested and unsupported.

Status meanings

  • Supported release is the current development target and receives the complete repository and installed-runtime gate.
  • Verified means the current packed Local Link release passed the historical RC gate on that exact version.
  • Untested means no compatibility claim is made.

Every newer Harness version still requires an independent check; support for 0.1.2-rc.1 does not imply support for a moving next tag or later alpha.

Verification policy

The historical RC gate starts from a fresh isolated installation. The packed release must compose into the Web profile, boot in the real client, render Local Access, preserve the private-LAN and loopback-admin boundaries, complete one-use pairing, proxy authenticated HTTP and a supported WebSocket, close that socket on revoke, reject the revoked device, and activate the responsive shell at 390×844390 \times 844. Automated tests cover Current session, subagent, locale, slot, and composition contracts.

All four rows passed with 1.1.0. The 0.1.2-rc.1 baseline additionally covered native browser authentication, the loopback-only Settings RPC, a live Current session, and the Current session and subagent browser surfaces.

Historical RC runs used empty profiles, so they did not create provider-backed conversations. Physical-phone portrait and landscape acceptance also remains a separate release check.

A successful package installation alone is not compatibility proof. Harness may change authentication, DOM semantics, client slots, exported primitives, theme storage, or responsive geometry while the plugin still appears to boot.
