Plugin 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.

source-grounded

dsh-smart-restart is a DeepSeek Harness host plugin that detects service restarts and automatically notifies and wakes the target agent without requiring user intervention. It introduces a `smart_restart` tool allowing agents to trigger safe systemd service restarts, features an active-agent guard to prevent blind interruption, supports auto-detection of systemd units via cgroups, and includes an optional ephemeral canary pre-flight validation mechanism to abort reboots if a new configuration fails to launch.

Key Capabilities

Detects process restarts by tracking state markers and downtime between boots
Provides a `smart_restart` agent tool to safely initiate systemd service restarts
Preserves calling session context to return restart notices to the exact session that requested it
Detects unplanned shutdown events to pin resume notices to active sessions
Implements a read-before-edit active agent guard with optional wait or force parameters
Supports canary pre-restart validation via ephemeral instance booting to prevent failed restarts
Auto-detects systemd units from `/proc/self/cgroup`

Useful For

Resuming long-running agent workflows or tasks automatically after host reboots or service restarts
Allowing agents to reboot DeepSeek Harness after installing new plugins and seamlessly continue execution
Validating configuration or bundle changes via canary boots before committing service restarts

Who It Fits

Developers running persistent or long-lived DeepSeek Harness server instances
Users running multi-agent workflows managed by systemd services

Documented Limitations

Designed for long-lived resident GUI/web profiles rather than one-shot headless CLI invocations
The `smart_restart` tool relies on systemd-managed services or explicit unit configuration
Canary validation runs an ephemeral instance which introduces pre-restart execution latency
Does not emit OS-level desktop or browser toast notifications, only in-session agent context
