dsh-request-manager

中文 | English

Manage LLM API request policies for DeepSeek Harness — override the default request behavior.

The plugin adds a Request Manager button to the session header; click it to open the Request Manager panel. All settings are global across sessions and need no separate on/off switch — each feature engages based on its configured value.

Features

Extra request delay

Inserts an extra delay (milliseconds) between API requests. Each session's first request is exempt; automatic and manual retries are delayed as well. 0 = off.

Retries

Overrides the number of automatic retries after a failed API request (the DSH default is 5 in current versions). Leave empty for no override. Some kinds of API failures are never retried by DSH by default (e.g. SSE stream ended without [DONE], NETWORK ERROR); this option does not affect the retry policy of such failures.

Intercept "request failure"

When an API request fails, the Request Manager panel expands automatically and shows a card for handling the intercepted failure:

• 🔁 Retry: re-sends the same request in place (still subject to the extra delay); if it fails again, the card shows again — retry as many times as you like.
• 🚩 Give up: ends the turn through DSH's native failure path.

This option applies uniformly, including failures DSH would never retry by default. The timeout is configurable in seconds: after the configured duration the selected action runs automatically — retry or give up; 0 disables the timeout. Pressing stop or disposing the session releases it immediately. With auto-retry selected, a persistently failing request re-sends every timeout cycle.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:tree-func/dsh-request-manager

Restart the DSH process after installing.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-request-manager

Architecture

A single-package bundle plugin with a host half and a client half:

dsh-request-manager/
├── package.json         # dsh.bundle.patch + dsh.client.platform: web manifest
├── cordis.patch.yml     # inserts this bundle at the profile root layer
├── index.js             # host half
└── client.js            # browser half

• Host (index.js): mounted at the web profile root layer as a bundle; listens at the root scope to every session's agent/request (extra delay) and agent/request-error (retry-count override, failure interception) events, and registers a resident /reqmgr-api route for the browser to read/write global config and submit interception decisions.
• Client (client.js): loaded through the official ModuleLoader; registers the Request Manager button and dropdown panel into the conversation.session.header.utilities slot, polls interception state once per second, and styles everything with --dsw-* semantic tokens so light and dark themes both work. Settings persist in the browser's localStorage and are restored to the host on page load.

Known Limitations

• Conversations are isolated from each other: interception notices (the alert dot and the auto-expanded panel) appear only in the conversation where the failure happened; staying in another conversation shows no hint. If you don't switch back in time, the hold is handled automatically according to the timeout settings.

Localization

UI copy is registered with the official locale service (namespace requestManager) and switches between Chinese and English automatically following the DSH language setting.

Build

The plugin is plain JavaScript — the source is the artifact, no build step:

npm test    # syntax check (node --check index.js && node --check client.js)

Development loop: refresh the browser page after editing client.js; restart the DSH process after editing index.js.
