Introduction

dsh-session-allow

简体中文: README.zh.md

A DSH (DeepSeek Harness) Web GUI plugin that adds an "Allow for this session" option to the approval dialog, and stops the right-side panel from auto-opening when you answer an approval.

When you pick it, a session-scoped, per-mode standing grant is recorded (persisted in localStorage, isolated by session id). Later escalation requests of the same mode in this session are auto-approved without a dialog; other modes keep prompting as usual.

What it does

ScenarioBehavior
A tool asks to escalate to danger-full-accessDialog shows: Reject / Allow once / Allow danger-full-access for this session
You click "Allow for this session"The current request is allowed and the mode is granted for this session
Same mode is requested again in this sessionSilently auto-approved, no dialog
A different mode is requested (not yet granted)Still prompts normally
Bottom of the dialogShows this session's granted modes as revocable chips (click × to revoke)
Page refresh / new sessionGrants persist per session id / stay isolated per session
Right panel auto-opens after answering an approvalClosed back automatically (see "Right-panel guard" below)

Right-panel guard (v0.2.0)

Problem: once you answer an approval (Reject / Allow once / Allow for this session), the approved tool call then runs, and its side effects can auto-open a right-side panel — e.g. dsh-better-sidebar expands when it detects a new background job or subagent (autoOpenJobs / autoOpenSubagent, both on by default), or dsh-aionui-panel's explorer appears. The user ends up with a panel they never asked for right after approving.

Fix: answering an approval arms a guard. It remembers that the right panel was closed; if the panel flips open within a 2.5 s window (detected via #root's margin-right being pushed by better-sidebar, or the aionui explorer column appearing) and the user did not interact with the panel (a click in the right strip counts as user intent), it closes the panel again through the panel's own collapse toggle. Once the window passes or the user touches the panel, the guard hands off and never fights normal use.

How it works (no core package changes)

The core approval panel is registered on the conversation.composer chain slot at priority 1. This plugin registers the same slot at priority 0 with an identical selector — the chain slot elects the lowest-priority entry whose select returns non-null, so this panel fully replaces the core one. Grants live in localStorage["dsh.sessionAllow.v1"]; a matching request is auto-answered allowed-once on the wire (the host audit still records approval/asked + approval/decided as usual).

Grant keys: mode:<mode> (parsed from the reason escalate sandbox to <mode>: ...); non-escalation reasons fall back to tool:<tool>:<reason>.

Install

Method 1 — recommended, one command (restart dsh web afterwards):

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/AnakinCao/dsh-session-allow.git

Method 2 — manual: append to ~/.dsh/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml:

- insert:
    - id: dsh-session-allow
      name: 'dsh-session-allow'

and place the repository content under ~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules/dsh-session-allow/ (or pnpm add), then restart dsh.

Pick ONE method — never mount twice.

Verify

  1. The dialog shows three buttons: Reject / Allow once / Allow … for this session.
  2. Click "Allow for this session" → the current request is allowed.
  3. Trigger the same mode again → no dialog, executes directly.
  4. The chips at the bottom show the granted mode; click × to revoke and the mode prompts again.
  5. Open another session → that mode still prompts (grants are per-session).

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-session-allow

or delete the - insert entry from the profile's cordis.patch.yml and remove node_modules/dsh-session-allow. Grant data lives in the browser's localStorage["dsh.sessionAllow.v1"] and can be cleared manually.
