dsh-balance-chip

dsh-balance-chip

Two rows in the DSH sidebar footer: your live account balance, and the current DeepSeek billing window (peak / off-peak) with the clock time that window ends.

┌─ sidebar footer ─────────────────┐
│  Balance                  ¥12.34 │  ← balance row
│  Off-peak          ends 09:00    │  ← billing-window row
│  🟣 account                      │  ← built-in account entry
└──────────────────────────────────┘

The balance row sits directly above the avatar / account row, the billing row right under it. Both register in the sidebar.footer.action list slot, so nothing in the built-in UI is replaced or wrapped.

Why not inside the avatar row: that row is settings.trigger, a single slot already owned by dsh-client-ui-settings-general. sidebar.footer.action is the nearest free list slot in the same bottom-left block.

What it shows

Every state renders something visible — loading …, signed out, no wallet, read failure — so "the plugin did not load" and "the plugin loaded but has no data" never look the same.

Billing windows

The billing row mirrors DeepSeek's published rule, in Beijing time (UTC+8):

• Peak: Monday–Friday, 09:00–12:00 and 14:00–18:00, excluding Chinese statutory holidays.
• Off-peak: everything else — 12:00–14:00, after 18:00, weekends, and holidays all day.
• Off-peak pricing is half of peak.

Sources: Model & Pricing (EN) · 模型 & 价格 (中文) · 2026 holiday dates from 国务院办公厅关于 2026 年部分节假日安排的通知 (国办发明电〔2025〕7号). Pricing and windows can change — the official page is authoritative.

The judgement is pure local arithmetic (Date.now() plus the rule above), computed entirely in Beijing wall-clock time, so the result does not depend on the machine's time zone. On a machine outside UTC+8, the row prefixes Beijing and the hover adds the local equivalent.

The statutory holiday table is compiled in (lib/client.js, HOLIDAY_TABLE) and currently covers 2026. Weekends moved to working days still count as weekends, so no separate adjustment table is needed. For a year the table does not cover yet, the plugin falls back to weekday-only rules and says so in the hover.

Install

Requirements: DSH 0.2.x. The plugin panel route is recommended and needs no Python; the installer script below is an optional legacy path.

From the plugin panel (recommended)

This package is an ordinary DSH npm plugin, recognised by DSH's plugin manager as a profile bundle:

1. Open the Plugins panel → Add plugin → Install third-party plugin
2. Enter any of:
   • dsh-balance-chip — once published to npm
   • the absolute path of a checkout, e.g. C:\Users\you\GitHub\dsh-balance-chip
   • the absolute path of the packed tarball, e.g. C:\Users\you\Downloads\dsh-balance-chip-1.2.0.tgz
3. Refresh or restart DSH when prompted.

DSH records the package in that profile's dsh.profile.bundles, and the insert entry in this package's cordis.patch.yml registers balance-chip — no profile file needs hand editing. A directory install is recorded as a link, so keep the source directory; a .tgz install is unpacked into place and survives deleting the tarball.

Let an agent do it

Hand the repository, or the release zip, to your assistant and point it at AGENT-INSTALL.md. That guide covers environment checks, offline verification, installation, activation, reporting back, troubleshooting, rollback, and a no-Python manual path.

By hand (legacy)

Needs Python 3. This path copies the package into node_modules and edits the profile's patch without declaring the package as a profile dependency: a later plugin-panel install runs pnpm, which prunes it as an extraneous package (moved into node_modules/.ignored/) and the plugin silently disappears. Prefer the plugin panel above.

python3 install.py          # macOS / Linux
python install.py           # Windows

The installer scans $DSH_HOME/profiles/* (default ~/.dsh/profiles), copies four files into <profile>/node_modules/dsh-balance-chip/, and appends one insert entry to that profile's cordis.patch.yml. It does not touch the profile's package.json or dsh.profile.bundles, uses no network, and is idempotent.

Useful flags:

python3 install.py --list           # show detected profiles, change nothing
python3 install.py --profile web    # install into one profile (repeatable)
python3 install.py --uninstall      # remove the entry, keep the package
python3 install.py --purge          # also delete the package directory

Then let it take effect: press Ctrl+R / Cmd+R in the window first; if that is not enough, fully quit and reopen DSH (macOS ⌘Q — closing the window does not quit the process).

From a release zip: unzip dsh-balance-chip-<version>.zip, then run the same command inside it.

Configuration

Every field of an entry's config is optional; an invalid value falls back to the default instead of hiding the row.

- insert:
    - id: balance-chip
      name: "dsh-balance-chip"
      config:
        windows: ["09:00-12:00", "14:00-18:00"]   # Beijing time; [[540,720],[840,1080]] also accepted
        weekdays: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]                 # days treated as working days (0 = Sunday)
        holidays: ["2027-01-01", "2027-02-06"]    # extra dates, union with the built-in table
        ignoreHolidays: false                     # true = ignore holidays entirely
        zoneOffsetMinutes: 480                    # time zone the rule is defined in
        pricingUrl: "https://api-docs.deepseek.com/quick_start/pricing"

How it works

• Two client rows, one host stub. lib/client.js is the browser half: it renders both rows, reads the balance over the existing account Remote (getBalance for the value, watch for sign-in state and the usage URL) and computes the billing window locally. lib/index.js is the host half — it exists because the loader also imports every package on the host side, and it carries only a load probe.
• One slot, ordered by order. Balance order: 10, billing order: 20, both in sidebar.footer.action (kind: list, scope: root).
• Pure function, thin component. periodAt / describeChip are side-effect-free and exported as exports.period; the component only prints their output. The loader reads apply / inject and ignores the extra export.
• No network, no credentials, no host code. The only outbound action is window.open(url, "_blank", "noopener,noreferrer") on click. The only host-side write is a /tmp load probe wrapped in try/catch.
• Theme tokens only. Colours come from --dsw-alias-* tokens, so light and dark themes both work.

Compatibility

Developed against DSH 0.2.0-rc.2 with @deepseek-ai/cordis 4.0.4 — the versions that ship with the desktop build it was tested on. The package declares no @deepseek-ai/dsh* peer dependency, so DSH's compatibility gate does not block it; what it needs at runtime is the sidebar.footer.action slot and the slots / locale / remote.account services.

Development

node test-client.cjs .                       # balance row, fake Remote, no browser
node test-peak.cjs .                         # schedule, strings, tooltip layout
TZ=Pacific/Kiritimati node test-peak.cjs .   # same conclusions in another zone

Both suites are offline: a minimal React-hooks runtime, a fake ctx, and a fake account Remote. test-peak.cjs covers window boundaries, overnight and weekend spans, every 2026 holiday block, config fallbacks and tooltip line lengths, and prints a SCHEDULE-FINGERPRINT line that must be identical across time zones.
