Introduction

dsh-token-tracker

简体中文 · Read this page in English

A dsh (DeepSeek-Harness) web plugin that folds provider token usage from the durable session log, prices it with a peak/off-peak table, and surfaces totals in the dsh web GUI — a header badge + period tag, a Tracker button, a composer dock line, a closed-turn tail, an injected conversation.view Token tab — plus a standalone overview page and a JSON API.

This repository is itself a directly installable dsh plugin package: lib/ is prebuilt and committed, and the repo root ships the dsh.bundle + dsh.client manifests together with cordis.patch.yml. You can install it via dsh plugin add <git-url>, dsh plugin add <local-path>, or (as a fallback) dsh plugin add ./dsh-token-tracker-<version>.tgz. No manual pack step or separate tarball download required.

This is not the in-repo @deepseek-ai/dsh-token-tracker package (which lives inside the harness monorepo and is built by the workspace). It is the same src/, wrapped for independent distribution.

What it does

The package has a Host half and a Browser half.

Host half (TokenTrackerService, mounted as a webServer service consumer):

  • Listens to session/event and folds assistant/message provider usage into per-session/per-turn token buckets, attributing each message to the model named by the latest request/header and to the Beijing hour of its event time.
  • Serves the standalone overview page at GET /dsh-token-tracker and the JSON API at GET /dsh-token-tracker/api (?session=<id> returns one session's totals plus a per-turn breakdown).
  • Prices usage with a peak/off-peak cost table (CNY per 1M tokens). The table resolves, in order: a browser localStorage override, a token-pricing.json file in the workspace root or a session cwd, then the built-in default (see src/pricing.ts). Overrides are picked up on a short cache.

Browser half (src/client/): registers the header token badge + period tag, the Tracker button, the composer dock line, the closed-turn tail, and the conversation.view "Token" tab. All data is fetched from the Host JSON API, so no typert Remote surface has to ride the browser assembly bus.

Requirements

  • Node.js >= 20 and pnpm (only needed when you want to rebuild from source; installing the plugin does not require them). The plugin itself runs inside a harness dsh host.
  • The dsh harness (DeepSeek-Harness) at the version that matches this package's peer dependencies. This plugin is a peer of the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* runtime packages and does not bring them itself.

Installing the plugin (two-step)

Important. This plugin declares the @deepseek-ai/dsh-* harness packages as peer dependencies, not dependencies. It deliberately does not pull them from the npm registry. This makes the install order matter: harness first, then the plugin.

Step 1 — install the harness first

dsh needs a harness installation to satisfy the peers. Clone and install DeepSeek-Harness first:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness.git
cd deepseek-harness
pnpm install          # installs the full @deepseek-ai/dsh-* tree locally

Step 2 — install the plugin (choose one of three)

This repository exposes three equivalent install paths. Use whichever fits your environment.

Option A · Direct from a GitHub repo URL (recommended)

On any machine that already has the harness installed:

dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/XiaHouSheng/dsh-token-tracker.git

How it works: after pnpm clones the repo it automatically runs the repo's prepack hook, which injects the exact @deepseek-ai/* peer version ranges into the packed manifest, then packs the already-built lib/ + cordis.patch.yml into a tarball and installs it. No build step required on your side.

Option B · From a local directory (plugin dev / on-machine verification)

Run pnpm run build in this repo once first (see Development & build flow below), then:

dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-token-tracker

pnpm run build drops a complete lib/, the cordis.patch.yml layer patch, and a publish-shaped package.json with the exact harness peer ranges straight into the repo root. The directory is then a self-contained installable dsh plugin package.

Option C · GitHub Release tarball (offline / legacy)

Download dsh-token-tracker-<version>.tgz from the Releases page, then add it to a dsh profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-token-tracker-<version>.tgz

All three options produce the same result: a bundle layer is activated (dsh.bundlecordis.patch.yml) so the token-tracker row is inserted, and the browser half is auto-discovered via the same package's dsh.client manifest and served from the web app.

Verify the layer then boot

dsh --profile web --dump-config     # should list the token-tracker layer
dsh --profile web                   # boot the GUI + web server

Then open:

  • http://127.0.0.1:<port>/dsh-token-tracker — overview page
  • http://127.0.0.1:<port>/dsh-token-tracker/api — JSON
  • the web GUI header badge / Token tab

If dsh is not on your PATH, use the harness-local binary: ./node_modules/.bin/dsh ... from the harness checkout.

Installing from npm (optional, later)

If/when this package is published to npm under a personal scope, the same peer-rule applies. Point dsh plugin add at the package instead of a tarball:

# scope-rename the package first (see RELEASING.md), then:
dsh plugin --profile web add @your-scope/dsh-token-tracker

Pricing override

Drop a token-pricing.json in the workspace root or a session cwd. It is picked up on a short cache:

{
  "timezone": "Asia/Shanghai (UTC+8)",
  "peakHours": [{ "start": 9, "end": 12 }, { "start": 14, "end": 18 }],
  "models": {
    "my-model": [{
      "effectiveFrom": "2026-01-01T00:00:00+08:00",
      "prices": {
        "inputCached": { "offpeak": 0.05, "peak": 0.1 },
        "inputUncached": { "offpeak": 1.5, "peak": 3.0 },
        "output": { "offpeak": 4.5, "peak": 9.0 }
      }
    }]
  }
}

The built-in default prices 09–12 and 14–18 Beijing hours as peak (2× off-peak) for deepseek-v4-flash and deepseek-v4-pro.


Development & build flow

This section is for plugin authors / maintainers. If you only install and use the plugin, you can skip it.

Dev manifest vs. Publish manifest

The root package.json intentionally toggles between two shapes:

FormActive when@deepseek-ai/* in peerDependenciesPurpose
DevFresh git clone / after restore-devonly reactLets pnpm install succeed at the plugin dev repo: the harness ^0.1.0-rc.5 versions are not on the public npm registry, so they must be omitted from the dev-time lockfile.
PublishAfter build / pack, or during the prepack hookall 10 harness packages with exact rangesRequired for a git push or a local install: dsh's pnpm layout needs them declared as explicit peers so the plugin sandbox can require('@deepseek-ai/cordis') etc. at runtime.

Two helper scripts manage the swap:

pnpm run build        # build lib/, switch root manifest to Publish shape (commit / local-dir install)
pnpm run restore-dev  # revert to Dev shape (use before pnpm install / version bumps / adding devDeps)

Plain git checkout -- package.json does the same thing if you prefer.

Everyday build loop

# Only needed if package.json is currently in Publish form:
pnpm run restore-dev

pnpm install            # only build tooling (tsc, tsdown, react types, node types)
# …edit files under src/…

pnpm run build          # -> lib/ populated, cordis.patch.yml copied to root, manifest becomes Publish
# Then you can:
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-token-tracker      # local install for verification
# And/or commit & push:
git add lib cordis.patch.yml package.json src scripts pack.mjs
git commit -m "feat: …"
git push origin main    # After this push, anyone else can run:
                        #   dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/XiaHouSheng/dsh-token-tracker.git

Packing a tarball (GitHub Release / offline distribution)

pnpm run pack          # = node pack.mjs: same as build, plus `pnpm pack` inside the stage
# -> dsh-token-tracker-0.1.0.tgz appears at the repo root

pack.mjs is fully self-contained:

  • It stages standalone/ from src/ + publish/.
  • Type declarations are generated straight from src/ by tsc with the repo-local tsconfig.json (self-contained; @deepseek-ai/* resolves to the ambient stubs under types.stub/, so no peer package is pulled at build time).
  • Host + browser bundles are produced by tsdown from the self-contained publish/tsdown.config.ts (which includes TypeScript decorator lowering so the @Remote markers run).
  • Build artifacts are synced back to the root lib/ for "direct install" usage; the stage is also packed with pnpm pack to produce the .tgz.

No harness checkout or in-repo lib/ is required or read.

Local verification after a build

Inside a fresh harness checkout (with Step 1 pnpm install already done):

# Direct local directory:
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-token-tracker
# Or the tarball:
dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-token-tracker-0.1.0.tgz

dsh --profile web --dump-config      # token-tracker layer present
dsh --profile web                     # boot; then check:
#   /dsh-token-tracker               (overview page)
#   /dsh-token-tracker/api           (JSON)

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

  • Token accounting depends on the provider reporting usage on assistant/message events; without it the plugin falls back to a character-count estimate (marked ), which is not a billing-grade count.
  • Peak/off-peak pricing is timezone-anchored to Beijing time and the pricing cache has a short TTL, so a pricing-file edit takes a few seconds to appear.
  • Peer versions in the Publish form are bracketed ranges (^0.1.0-rc.5). They are satisfied by a matching harness install; keep them in step with the deployed harness edition, or dsh plugin add will warn about unsatisfied peers.
  • The overview page auto-refreshes on a slow 10-minute interval (and pauses while the tab is hidden); very large session logs are capped at the first 300 sessions in the table.
