dsh-composer-markdown

In one sentence: a pure client-side plugin for DSH (DeepSeek Harness) Web that adds Markdown editing aids to the conversation composer — list auto-continuation and renumbering, inline-code styling (backticks hidden once rendered), and code-fence auto-closing with atomic block interactions. Every editing gesture rides on Shift+Enter; Enter keeps DSH's native "submit" semantics and is never intercepted. Apart from the ordered-list renumbering, everything is edit-state visuals and key gestures only — the submitted text always stays literal Markdown, byte-for-byte faithful.

Platform: web (the DSH Web GUI, dsh plugin --profile web)
Shape: a pure client plugin — the host half is a no-op carrier, zero runtime dependencies, toggleable any time in "Settings → Plugins" (设置 → 插件)
Tests: 475 assertions passing (a zero-dependency runner: artifact freshness + pure-logic unit tests + bundle-shape assertions + an optional host-contract smoke)

Purpose and use cases

The DSH composer is a Lexical plain-text editor that natively offers only "Enter submits / Shift+Enter soft-breaks" — writing Markdown means typing every literal character by hand. This plugin brings the composer's Markdown editing experience up to the level of mature chat products:

Write structured content in the input box: lists, steps, code snippets, code blocks — without leaving the keyboard for a toolbar;
Make literal Markdown readable: • bullet markers, monospace numbering, the inline-code background, and paired ``` fences rendering as a real code block — what you see approaches how the sent message renders;
Keep the plain-text contract: every enhancement is an edit-state visual layer; what gets sent is exactly the literal Markdown you typed, byte-for-byte — the model side, the message renderer, and the clipboard projection are untouched;
Change no native habit: Enter still submits; the / and @ menus, @xxx reference chips, image pastes, and IME input all behave exactly as before.

Not for: rich-text (non-Markdown) editing, or rewriting/beautifying Markdown at send time — this plugin deliberately performs no send-state transformation.

By domain:

Domain	Capabilities
Lists	bullet/ordered continuation (any visual line and any nesting depth, including soft-broken and pasted lines), split-at-caret continuation, empty-item exit, the per-group renumbering invariant (delete closes gaps / breaks restart / merges accumulate / nesting-aware), mid-insert shift-down, the level ladder (Tab sinks, Shift+Tab or Backspace-after-the-atom lifts — whole subtree rides along; a top-level lift unlists back to plain text), atomic atom delete (indent included), atomic arrow hops over atoms (indent included), no resting inside an atom, differentiated marker rendering (`•` dot / monospace digits)
Inline code	paired-backtick inner text styled as inline code, backticks hidden the instant the pair closes (zero-advance invisibility, real font metrics kept), revealed while a selection genuinely covers them (select-what-you-see)
Code blocks	``` / ```ts + Shift+Enter skeleton closing, the type-```-at-a-content-line-head flow that preserves the tail, commit-only paired rendering (whole-block code look + floating language badge + zero-height marker lines), one-keystroke unwrap at block boundaries (markers removed, body kept), ↑/↓ skipping the marker lines, Shift+Enter inside a fence inserts a paragraph, fences open at the head of any line (soft-line promotion — a reference chip's embedded newline blocks only its own boundary, the rest still promote, v0.1.3), orphan close-marker cleanup

Installation

Prerequisites

DSH 0.1.7-rc.x (verified against 0.1.7-rc.2; the composer is a Lexical plain-text editor + @lexical/plain-text, lexical 0.49);
Node.js ^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0 — the same window DSH itself requires; the package's engines field mirrors it;
a modern desktop browser (Chrome / Edge / Firefox / Safari).

Installing the plugin

The package declares a dsh.bundle.patch (cordis.patch.yml: one insert row mounting the host half's no-op entry, which makes the plugin appear in "Settings → Plugins").

From a local checkout (the usual development route):

dsh plugin --profile web add link:/absolute/path/to/dsh-composer-markdown

From the npm registry:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-composer-markdown

From GitHub (the built client.js is committed, so the plugin loads even when pnpm skips the prepare build script; pin a commit with #<sha> so a later push cannot change what you run):

dsh plugin --profile web add github:chendefine/dsh-composer-markdown

pnpm ≥ 10 blocks a git dependency's prepare script until allowed. If you want the install to rebuild client.js from src/client/, add the key pnpm prints (e.g. dsh-composer-markdown: true) under allowBuilds in the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml and re-run the add — treat it as permission to run the package's code on your machine at install time.

Or through the DSH plugin marketplace (设置 → DSH插件市场) — tag the repo with the dsh-plugin topic and it is indexed automatically.

After installing, restart the dsh web service and refresh the browser page. With a link: install, edit the sources under src/client/, run node scripts/build.mjs to regenerate client.js — in dev mode HMR hot-reloads the regenerated artifact (no refresh needed; refresh once if HMR is not running).

Toggle and uninstall

Toggle: Settings → Plugins (设置 → 插件) → composer-markdown; disabling restores all native behavior (effective after a refresh);
Uninstall: dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-composer-markdown.

Disable/uninstall auto-cleans: the document listeners, the injected style tag, and every code-style format bit in the editor (the draft text content is unchanged).

Usage

Every editing gesture rides on Shift+Enter; Enter = native submit, never intercepted; a Shift+Enter that matches no scenario = the native soft break. Tab / Shift+Tab are claimed only when the caret's line is a list item (the level ladder) — everywhere else they stay native (focus traversal and the like). Plain Backspace / Delete / arrow keys are claimed only when they hit exactly the boundaries below — everything else keeps the native per-character behavior.

Lists

Operation	Trigger	Behavior
Bullet/ordered continuation	Type content after a line-head `-` / `` / `N.` (any indent depth), press Shift+Enter*	The new line below is auto-seeded with the `{indent}-` / `{n+1}.` prefix (nesting level preserved), caret right after it; works on any visual line — paragraph heads, soft-broken lines, and multi-line-pasted lines alike
Split at caret	Shift+Enter with the caret mid-content of a list item	The line is cut at the caret: everything after it moves down and becomes the new item's content, spliced after the new prefix (byte-faithful); a caret at the line start / inside the marker / at the line end keeps the append-below behavior
Mid-insert shift-down	Shift+Enter inserting a new item mid-group	The new line takes `n+1` and every member below in the same group shifts +1 (`1. 2. 3.` inserting between 1 and 2 → `1. 2. 3. 4.`); the group stays continuous and duplicate-free; insert and shift share one undo step
Renumbering (the invariant)	After any change (delete/insert a line, empty-item exit, paste, undo/redo)	Every ordered group (consecutive ordered lines, one indent, outside fences) is always numbered `1. … n.` from its first member: a deleted line closes the gap below; a group split by a plain/blank/bullet line restarts its tail at `1.`; deleting the splitting line merges the two runs into one continuous count; deeper indents merely suspend the outer group (a nested sublist never interrupts the outer run — its count resumes when the outer indent returns), nested groups normalize independently. Deliberate trade: a group cannot hold a non-1 start or a manual gap — hand-typed digits snap back (continuity IS the contract)
Empty-item exit	Shift+Enter on an item that is only a prefix	The prefix is removed and the empty paragraph kept (an empty line on soft lines) — press twice to cleanly leave the list; the caret stays on the emptied line (v0.1.2) wherever the item sat — trailing, mid-paragraph between items, or the block's first line — never rolled onto the previous item's end nor clamped onto the next line's head
Level ladder — sink	Tab with the collapsed caret anywhere on a list item's line (mid-content included)	The item and every deeper line below it (nested sublists, deeper-continuation text — the whole subtree, recursively) each gain 2 spaces of indent; same-level siblings and everything after them are untouched; the caret rides its in-line position; the whole subtree moves in one keystroke, one undo step; the reshuffled ordered groups normalize on the invariant right after (a `2.` nested under a parent renumbers to that nested run's `1.`). Sinking is capped (v2.9): an item may sit at most ONE level below its parent — the nearest item line above (plain lines skipped, blanks/fences ending the search). An item already one level below its parent, and a list's FIRST item (nothing above to nest under), get a claimed-but-inert no-op on Tab (focus never jumps away mid-list-editing) — the ladder cannot descend without bound
Level ladder — lift / unlist	Same positions, Shift+Tab — or Backspace with the collapsed caret right after the list atom (at the content head)	A nested item (indent ≥ 1 space) → the item and its whole subtree each lose `min(2, indent)` spaces (odd hand-typed indents floor at 0); a top-level item → unlisted: the whole atom dies, the content stays as a plain-text line (the caret parks on that same line, v0.1.2), the subtree still rises one level. The plain line an unlist leaves behind splits an ordered group — the same-indent members below restart at `1.` per the invariant. Holding Tab sinks once and then holds at the cap; holding Shift+Tab climbs one rung per repeat — focus never escapes an item line on either key
Atomic atom delete	Delete with the collapsed caret right at a list item's line head (before the whole atom)	The indent + marker atom goes in one stroke (`␣␣1.` — all of it), the line becomes top-level plain text, its own undo step; the indent can never be eaten character by character
Atomic arrow hop over atoms	Plain ← / → with the collapsed caret at any list-atom boundary	`→` at the line head jumps clear over the whole `␣␣1.` / `␣␣-` (indent included) to the content's first character; `←` right after the atom jumps back to the line head; a caret already inside the atom (including inside the indent spaces — a click, a vertical move) exits to the far edge — the keyboard never walks the atom interior. Shift+arrows stay native (a selection can still cover exactly the digit characters for manual renumbering)
Differentiated marker rendering	Any visual line headed by `-` / `*` / `N.` (outside fences, empty prefixes included)	Ordered digits switch to the code font; the bullet dash/star renders as `•` (dot + space as one marker unit); the marker bytes are kept verbatim in the draft/copy/send text; a selection genuinely covering a marker character reveals the raw character
No resting inside an atom	A collapsed caret landing inside a list atom (indent spaces included) via any path (↑/↓, mouse click)	The caret is homed to the nearest atom edge (ties snap to the line head); the edges themselves (line head / content head) are legal rest points; selections are unaffected

Inline code

When a line holds a paired `non-empty` whose content stays on one line and whose inner-edge characters are non-blank (full-width space / NBSP included): the inner text gets the inline-code look (code font, light background, rounded corners — reusing the DSH theme tokens);
The paired backticks hide the instant the pair closes (invisible, zero width, still kept byte-for-byte in the draft and the sent text); they stay hidden while the caret travels inside the pair or brushes either side;
Only a selection genuinely covering one of the backtick characters (Shift+arrows, select-all) temporarily reveals the pair (select-what-you-see); it hides again once the selection collapses; a cross-paragraph selection (Ctrl+A) projects per paragraph — no misses at paragraph boundaries;
Non-matching pairs are fully inert (their backticks stay visible and never affect later pairing); ``-style multi-backtick delimiters are not recognized (naive left-to-right pairing).

Code blocks

Operation	Trigger	Behavior
Skeleton closing	The caret's line is exactly ``` (optionally with a language id ```ts) and the caret sits inside/after the marker run, Shift+Enter	Inserts the three-line skeleton ``` / empty / ```, caret at the head of the empty line; works when typed at the head of any line (soft-broken and pasted lines included); a caret before the marker run (bare ``` line, offset 0) is plain text and keeps the native soft break
Content-preserving flow	Type ``` at the head of a line that already has content (caret still right after it), Shift+Enter	Splits after the ```: the marker line keeps ```, an empty line + closing skeleton is inserted, and everything after ``` on the original line moves below the closing marker (outside the block, byte-faithful); the language-id flow is unaffected (```ts at line end still yields the badged skeleton)
Paired rendering	A paired ```…``` region in the draft	The whole region renders as one code block: code background + code font inside (the same theme tokens and geometry as the message-side CodeBlock); the first marker line is zero-height, the language id shows as a floating badge at the block's top-right; the ``` markers are fully imperceptible (invisible, never host the caret); an unclosed ``` is plain text, always — typing ``` mid-draft never swallows the content below into a block
One-keystroke unwrap	Backspace / Delete at a block boundary (← at the first body line's head / the paragraph after the block; → at the paragraph before the block / the last body line's end)	One keystroke removes the pair of ``` marker lines: the block un-renders, the body survives verbatim as plain paragraphs, the caret stays put — its own undo step
Leaving the block	↓ at the last body line's end (an empty paragraph grows below when the block ends the draft)	The caret drops to the new paragraph below the block to continue typing plain text; ↑/↓ skip the marker lines at block boundaries; the marker-line eviction lands a text-anchored caret (v0.1.3), so ↑/↓ stay armed from a body edge the caret was homed onto — the box top/bottom is never a keyboard trap
New paragraph inside a fence	Shift+Enter inside a fence (the closing line included)	Inserts a new paragraph (not a soft break), split at the caret; plain Enter inside a fence still submits

Coexistence with native behavior

Enter: keeps DSH's native "submit" and is never intercepted (on list lines and inside fences alike);
Ctrl/Cmd+Enter: keeps the native "accelerated submit";
Shift+Enter (no scenario matched): the native soft break (<br>);
Tab / Shift+Tab (not a list-item line, inside a fence, a range selection, or a modifier chord): fully native (browser focus traversal etc.), never intercepted; likewise yielded while a trigger menu is open; held repeats on a list-item line re-plan like any press (they never fall through to focus traversal);
While a / or @ trigger menu is open: the Enter family is fully yielded;
IME (e.g. Chinese input): keys during a composition trigger nothing (three-signal guard: isComposing / keyCode 229 / a 10 ms window after compositionend — the same guard the DSH input machine itself uses);
Slash-command claims, @ reference chips, image drag-drop/paste, busy/locked states, and Q&A/approval cards are unaffected;
Coexisting with other composer plugins: capture-phase first-come-first-served — a key already preventDefault-ed is yielded to; keys this plugin consumes get stopImmediatePropagation.

Architecture

The two halves

A DSH plugin has a host (node) half and a browser half; this plugin is the extreme pure-client shape:

┌─ host half (node) ────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ index.js          a no-op carrier: an importable entry row for │
│                   the bundle, so the plugin shows up in        │
│                   "Settings → Plugins" and is toggleable there │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
┌─ browser half (web) ──────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ client.js         the single-file load artifact (the DSH       │
│                   loader only accepts single-file bundles),    │
│                   generated from the 15 src/client/ modules by │
│                   scripts/build.mjs and committed; registers   │
│                   via window.__ModuleLoader__.load             │
│                   ({id, factory}), with an in-bundle           │
│                   CommonJS-style module registry               │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Source layering (src/client/, one-way dependencies top-down)

constants.js     constants + line-grammar regexes + CSS class names
                 (the stylesheet composes its selectors from them — no drift)
editor.js        the host-contract seam: the ONLY module touching the
                 host's underscore internals
                 (__lexicalEditor/_nodes/_nodeMap/_selection/_compositionKey)
grammar.js       the line-grammar substrate: visual lines, fence intervals
                 + committed coverage, the shared caret-line resolution,
                 the selection-covers reveal rule — derived once per read
doc.js           the document read: block/leaf flat geometry + caret/selection
                 mapping (committed/live flavors) + the husk-block query
fence-plan.js    pure fence projections and decisions (line/block roles,
                 soft-line promotion, fence pairs, orphan cleanup,
                 atomic keys, caret homing)
code-plan.js     the pure inline-code kernels + per-block span/delimiter
                 projections
enter-plan.js    pure Shift+Enter arbitration (one decision tree: fences
                 first, then lists)
list-plan.js     pure list planning (the state-driven renumber walk, marker
                 glyphs, atomic delete/hop/homing, join/detach, shift-down,
                 re-anchor)
analysis.js      one analyzeDraft(texts): the model + every domain projection
edits.js         the edit algebra: the ONLY home of every live-node mutation
                 (flat-range erase / soft-line promotion / paragraph split /
                 digit rewrite / format shapes)
style-sheet.js   the CSS text (composed from the class constants) + the
                 style-tag lifecycle
present.js       the presentation layer: block marks (fence classes / badge)
                 + the ONE glyph-mark engine ({at, class, reveal} table)
                 + stripDom
gestures.js      the key surface: guards + the gesture policy table
                 (prepare/apply/history steps) + the one claim path
restyle.js       the convergent engine: the ordered STAGES table (normalize →
                 DOM marks → repairs → caret home → code/marker shapes),
                 one analysis per pass, at most one structural commit
                 + cross-pass memory + loop guard; instance state, never
                 module globals
index.js         the composition root: lifecycle + __internals assembly

Five cross-cutting designs

Features are not individually plumbed pipelines — they are rows over one set of orthogonal abstractions:

One line grammar: visual-line splitting (each paragraph split on \n; a soft break's \n and a pasted \n are the same thing), fence pairing with committed coverage, and caret-line resolution are derived once in grammar.js; lists, inline code, fences, and Enter arbitration all consume the same model — they cannot drift apart by construction.
One draft analysis: analyzeDraft(texts) assembles the fence roles, soft-line promotion, inline-code spans/delimiters, list marker glyphs, and the renumber invariant into a single object — every projection sees the same lines and the same fence coverage.
One edit algebra: plan (pure data, unit-tested) and apply (live-node operations, edits.js only) are strictly separated; neither the gesture policies nor the convergence engine touch nodes directly.
One presentation engine: edit-state visuals come in exactly two shapes — block marks (fence paragraph classes / badge) and glyph marks (a single-char leaf + class + reveal rule); hidden backticks and list-marker styling share one engine and one reveal predicate — adding a glyph kind is a table row, not a pass.
One table-driven dual driver: the keyboard side is a policy table (one prepare/apply/history per key family), the convergence side is a stage table (one pure plan function per stage); new behavior is a row in a table, not a new pipeline.
