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
- Native split-shell parallel chat UI with resizable dividers
- Independent DSH child sessions associated with parent sessions without polluting the main session list
- Text selection quote-to-side-chat workflow with clean previews
- On-demand contextual retrieval from parent transcript via bounded side_chat_context tool
- Session lifecycle management with retain, restore, hide, and safe deletion support
- Mutual layout coordination with Better Sidebar
Useful For
- Asking clarifying or auxiliary questions while keeping the main agent execution focused
- Drafting, inspecting code snippets, or testing subtasks in parallel without disrupting main context
- Referencing specific sections of the main transcript for deep-dive discussions
Who It Fits
- Developers and power users running DeepSeek Harness Web UI who need multitasking parallel conversations
Documented Limitations
- Selection quote entry is currently optimized for mouse selection rather than mobile touch
- Text selection quotes are truncated at 8,000 characters per quote
- Relies on DSH SessionProvider BindingContext seam for full native conversation rendering
- Hard session deletion requires JSONL storage backend support
