UI enhancement suite for DeepSeek Harness: one-click workspace open, auto-discovered editors, a DeepSeek-web-style user-message nav rail, session to-do marks, flat-list polish, and hard restart.

A productivity plugin built for the DeepSeek Harness Web UI. It puts the operations you use most — opening folders, switching views, jumping to questions, restarting the service — right at your fingertips, without leaving the page.

📖 Features in Detail

Session header

The top-left of the session area becomes two rows:

• Row 1 — the current workspace folder name (small highlighted label) plus three icon buttons, tooltips shown below each icon:
  • 📋 Copy absolute path
  • 📁 Reveal in file manager (Finder on macOS / Explorer on Windows / file manager on Linux)
  • </> Open in default editor
• Row 2 — the current session name, enlarged.

User-message nav rail (right of the chat)

Recreates the DeepSeek web interaction: once the current session has ≥ 2 user messages and the transcript overflows one screen, a vertical pill floats on the right side of the conversation area (just left of the scrollbar), with one marker per user message:

• Hover a marker — a summary card appears ("Question #N" title + truncated message text);
• Click a marker — the transcript smooth-scrolls to that message;
• The marker for the message you are currently reading is highlighted in the brand color — when you scroll between two questions, the previous one stays highlighted until the next question appears;
• A badge at the bottom of the pill shows the total number of user messages;
• The pill is always visible (no hover reveal/hide); scrolling / streaming only repositions markers and highlights without flicker.

Controlled by the User message nav rail toggle under Settings → UI Features (enabled by default).

Workspace ⋯ menu quick actions

When enabled, each workspace's ⋯ menu gets an extra row of quick buttons: copy path, reveal in file manager, open in default editor.

Session to-do marks

Idle sessions show a clickable dot: click to mark as done (turns green), click again to unmark; switching away from a session auto-clears its to-do. Marks are stored in the browser, not in the service config.

Flat-list polish

When enabled, the flat-list view (Grouping → Flat list) renders session rows in a three-line layout:

• Line 1: native status icon + workspace folder name + relative time of the last user message;
• Line 2: session title;
• Line 3: a muted one-line preview of the user's last prompt.

Header view switch

Adds a quick "switch grouping" icon to the session-list header (the row with search / grouping / sorting), letting you toggle between workspace-grouped and flat-list views with one click, with a tooltip.

Hard restart button (bottom-left)

A restart icon sits to the right of the Settings button in the bottom-left corner (grey semi-transparent by default, turns red on hover). Clicking it asks for confirmation; once confirmed:

• The host spawns a detached replacement process with the exact same command that started this one (waiting for the old process to exit and the port to free), then exits the current process completely;
• The page shows a "Restarting DeepSeek Harness…" overlay, probes the service every 700 ms and auto-reloads once it is back; if it does not come back within 30 s, it prompts you to refresh manually.

⚙️ Settings: UI Features

A UI Features page is registered in the DSH Settings panel, grouped by functional area; each option shows a one-line summary plus an expandable detailed description:

Sidebar

• Flat-list polish (enabled by default): three-line session cards in the flat-list view;
• Header view switch (disabled by default): quick grouping-toggle icon in the session-list header;
• Session to-do marks (disabled by default): clickable to-do dots before idle sessions.

Session area

• Default editor (independent): the editor used by Open in default editor; applied instantly;
• Workspace quick buttons (enabled by default): the folder name and quick buttons at the top of the session area;
  • Child Workspace menu quick actions (disabled by default): a quick-button row in the workspace ⋯ menu;
• User message nav rail (enabled by default): the message marker rail on the right of the chat.

System tools

• Restart button (enabled by default): the hard-restart button next to the bottom-left Settings button.

Config saves instantly (no Save button) and persists to ~/.dsh/dsh-niao-quick-open.config.json. After changing a config that needs a restart to take effect, a "restart to apply" banner appears at the top of the page.

🔍 Editor discovery

Editors are scanned on the host:

• Known brands — Visual Studio Code, Cursor, Trae, Windsurf, Zed, Sublime Text, HBuilderX, the JetBrains family, Vim/Neovim CLI, … (brand icon shown);
• Dynamic scan — macOS scans /Applications + /System/Applications, Windows scans the Program Files / LocalAppData program directories, Linux probes common editor CLIs; any app matching editor keywords is offered with a letter icon.

Every listed editor is guaranteed to have a working open command for the workspace folder.

💡 Usage Tips

1. Open any workspace session: the session header's first row shows the workspace folder name and three icon buttons: 📋 copy path, 📁 reveal in file manager, </> open in default editor;
2. The second row shows the current session name, enlarged;
3. In DSH Settings → UI Features, toggle features and choose the Default editor;
4. Use the restart icon next to the bottom-left Settings button to hard-restart the service (confirmation required; the page reloads automatically);
5. Use the user-message nav rail on the right of the chat: hover a marker to preview a question, click to jump to it.
