dsh-archived-chats

A settings page for DeepSeek Harness that brings archived chats back into view.

Once a conversation is archived in DeepSeek Harness it disappears from the sidebar, and there is no built-in way to browse it again — only the workspace store (~/.dsh/storages/workspace.json) still remembers it. This plugin adds an Archived Chats page under Settings where every archived session is visible, searchable, and manageable.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-archived-chats

Restart DSH once after installing, then open Settings → Archived Chats.

Features

• Complete archived-session list, grouped by workspace (project) with a per-group count. Every group can be collapsed or expanded, and the state is remembered per browser.
• Search by title, plus two filters: type (all / regular / subagent) and project.
• Unarchive a single chat or a whole project group from the group's ⋯ menu — restored chats reappear in the sidebar immediately.
• Delete one chat, a project group, or everything (Delete All), each behind a confirmation dialog. Deletion is thorough: the session log is removed from disk, the session is detached from its workspace record, and the registry's in-memory header index is purged, so the sidebar drops the rows live.
• Sessions that are still resident in the background are parked permanently and physically removed on the next DSH start — nothing is left half-deleted, and parked sessions stay hidden meanwhile.
• Works in light and dark schemes; localized in English and 中文.

How it works

• Host half (lib/index.js) registers the /plugins/dsh-archived-chats/* routes on the DSH web server: GET /state, POST /unarchive, POST /unarchive-all, POST /delete, POST /delete-all. Unarchiving writes through the workspace registry's own state path, so every connected client receives the host/archived-sessions-changed push. Mutating routes require a custom x-dsh-archived-chats: 1 header as CSRF hardening.
• Pending-deletion store: deleting a live session takes a "park and defer" path — the agent is cancelled permanently (cancel({ kind: 'disposed' })), the session stays archived and hidden, and the id is recorded in $DSH_HOME/plugin-data/archived-chats/pending-deletions.json. On the next boot the plugin sweeps the queue and completes the deletion through the ordinary delete path. Parked sessions are excluded from the listing; unarchiving one before the restart cancels its pending deletion.
• Browser half (lib/client.js) registers a settings.section slot entry (order 30) and renders the page with React and DSH design tokens.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-archived-chats

The only leftover is the small pending-deletion store under $DSH_HOME/plugin-data/archived-chats/; uninstalling does not process the queue.
