Host-side DeepSeek Harness watchdog that resumes eligible agent sessions after an unclean server crash or restart.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile web add github:davidgereb/dsh-plugin-watchdog --config.block-exotic-subdeps=falsePlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Tracks session activity and persists watchdog state in $DSH_HOME/storages/watchdog.json.
- Detects eligible interrupted sessions using persisted log signals such as interrupted turns, pending inbox items, and active goals.
- Resumes sessions through ctx.agents.resume and sends a continuation follow-up when appropriate.
- Re-arms eligible active goals rather than sending them a follow-up prompt.
- Avoids resuming subagent sessions independently.
- Limits recovery activity with a configurable per-boot resume cap.
- Provides a Settings → Plugins configuration card for fallback model and resume-policy options.
Useful For
- Continue agent work after a DSH server crash, OOM event, forced termination, or unclean restart.
- Recover recently active sessions in headless or browser-closed DSH deployments.
- Re-arm interrupted goal-driven workflows after server recovery.
- Configure an optional policy for resuming work after graceful shutdowns.
Who It Fits
- DeepSeek Harness users running the web profile.
- Users operating long-running or unattended agent sessions.
- Developers who want automated recovery for interrupted DSH workflows.
Documented Limitations
- Recovery is a fresh continuation after persistence-layer crash repair, not a rewind to an unfinished point within a turn.
- By default, sessions from graceful shutdowns are treated as deliberately stopped; enabling graceful-shutdown recovery is optional.
- Only one DSH process should write a session log at a time.
- Untracked-session scanning is bounded and mtime-based, so large old logs may not be scanned.
- The README states testing against dsh 0.1.0-rc.6 on Node.js v24.19.0 and cautions that other DSH versions may change hooked internals.
- Installation requires allowing git-hosted transitive dependencies for its git-hosted dependency under pnpm 11 defaults.
DSH Compatibility
Version-specific runtime evidence collected by DSH Plugin. A missing result means we have not tested that combination yet.
