DSH Desktop · HarmonyOS Edition

The official DeepSeek Harness (dsh) Web UI, unmodified, running on HarmonyOS 2in1 / tablet inside the system ArkWeb — with the dsh Host on a real Node.js runtime embedded in the same process. No Electron, no bundled Chromium, no ArkUI rewrite.

What you get

• The same dsh you already know — sessions, tools, plugins, settings, themes. The frontend is upstream, untouched; the agent host runs locally, so there is no relay, no CORS, no account gate.
• Nothing to render with — the system WebView draws the UI, so the package ships only the agent runtime (≈42 MB payload) instead of a browser engine. The HAP is ≈88 MB.
• Installs without restricted permissions — the default build is JIT-free (compat), so side-loading needs no ACL-bound permission. A jit variant exists for devices granted the writable-code-memory permission.
• Zero upstream changes — HarmonyOS differences live in an ohos profile, one bundle layer, seam plugins and six audited shims. Upgrading dsh means re-running the pipeline, not re-doing patches.
• Branded as this product — own icon, name and window title; the upstream preview notice and the DeepSeek first-run dialog no longer open by themselves (both remain reachable in Settings).

Two HarmonyOS editions

HarmonyOS gets two independent editions with the same shell architecture, the same unmodified Web UI and the same data plane; the difference is which runtime provides Node:

Neither replaces the other: the Electron edition buys maximum desktop fidelity at the cost of a bundled Chromium and JIT; this edition buys a small payload and a permission-free install at the cost of covering platform gaps in the shim layer.

Capabilities at a glance

The complete matrix — every capability, both editions side by side, with root causes — is docs/鸿蒙环境能力清单-0.2.1.md.

Status

0.2.1 (versionCode 201) — runs on device. Verified on HarmonyOS 6.1.0.135 (API 24, 2in1): installs with zero ACLs, the payload self-extracts and reports ready, all shims install, node:sqlite/FTS5 available, text and image conversations, workspace picker across the three roots, git clone (public and intranet), and the branded window (checked through the WebView debugger). Known gaps and their fix points are listed in the capability inventory above.

Build

Prerequisites: DevEco Command Line Tools (SDK API 24) and the sibling submodule ../deepseek-harness. The Node runtime is pulled from the OpenHarmony ohpm central repository: @fellow99/node-bridge (API + NAPI bootstrap) and @fellow99/node-runtime@24.2.0 (the libnode.so engine, SHA-256-locked by the bundled runtime.lock.json).

node scripts/assemble-payload.mjs --deploy --apply   # ① materialize the dsh runtime
bash scripts/build-hap.sh           # ② ohpm install → payload archive + HAP build/sign
hdc app install -r entry/build/default/outputs/default/entry-default-signed.hap

OHOS_CLT overrides the Command Line Tools root; node scripts/verify-upstream.mjs proves the upstream pin is intact (tag, clean tree, patch ids, brand/onboarding gates).
