> [!IMPORTANT] > Confirming the action terminates the dsh host process and releases its ports. The host terminal window and the current browser tab are intentionally left open.

✨ What it does

dsh-exit adds a dedicated Exit section to the dsh settings panel. It uses the highest settings order so newly installed settings plugins appear above it.

• Opens a confirmation modal before doing anything destructive.
• Keeps the Exit section at the bottom of the settings navigation.
• Calls the typed dshExit/exit Remote method only after confirmation.
• Gives the gateway a short acknowledgement window, then ends the host process.
• Releases every port held by that process; the settings page displays the current dsh Web host and port.
• Keeps the terminal window and browser tab available for the next action.
• Uses the existing dsh design tokens and the Lucide power icon.

📸 Real dsh UI

The capture below is a current dsh settings view with dsh-exit installed. The red Exit entry is the plugin's real navigation item at the bottom of the settings list.

🧱 npm package contents

Layer	File	Responsibility
Host	lib/index.js	Registers the dshExit Cordis service and the typed exit() Remote method.
Client	lib/client.js	Self-contained browser bundle: settings section, exit button, CSS, modal, keyboard handling, and Remote mounting.
Bundle patch	cordis.patch.yml	Inserts the plugin row into the dsh profile.
Package metadata	package.json	Declares the host entry, web client, and bundle patch.

The package stays focused on the runtime files and package metadata. Additional screenshots and source materials are provided below:

🚀 Install from npm

Install the published package directly into the dsh Web profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add @kesike/dsh-exit

Restart the profile after installation. The dsh host loader resolves the bare runtime imports, so this package intentionally declares no runtime dependencies. To update or remove it:

dsh plugin --profile web update @kesike/dsh-exit
dsh plugin --profile web remove @kesike/dsh-exit

🖥️ UI behavior

Interaction	Result
Click the red Exit item at the bottom of Settings navigation	Opens the exit section and confirmation action.
Click Cancel, press Esc, or click outside	Closes the modal without changing the host.
Click Confirm exit	Disables duplicate actions and invokes the host Remote method.
Remote call fails	Restores the controls and shows an inline error message.
Remote call succeeds	Closes the modal; the host exits shortly afterward.

🔌 Remote contract

The host advertises a strict, parameterless Remote method:

namespace: dshExit
method:    exit
result:    true
gateway:   /api/dshExit/exit

The client-side dsh gateway returns the standard envelope { ok: true, value: true } on success. The service guards repeated calls with an exiting flag and schedules process.exit(0) after the response has a chance to settle.

🧪 Development checks

Run the lightweight syntax checks from the project root:

node --check lib/index.js
node --check lib/client.js
