中文版：README.zh.md · DSH (DeepSeek Harness) plugin

Remember the last used workspace directory for the Add workspace flow (sidebar / conversation empty-state). Two lightweight hooks over the official flow — nothing is replaced, and the whole thing is a single on/off toggle in Settings → General.

Features

Remember — every workspace you add (from the browse dialog, the system dialog, or any other entry) is recorded automatically.
Prefill — with a remembered path, the official "Add workspace" browse dialog opens directly on the last used directory, breadcrumb path bar included; all browsing, editing and confirm interactions stay 100% official.
Off = stock — with the toggle off, both hooks are inert: no redirection, no recording, identical to an uninstalled plugin.
Hot-reloadable — the toggle persists to $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml (dsh-workspace-default-path.rememberLast / .lastPath) and applies immediately, no restart.

Install

From GitHub (standard, same as any other dsh plugin dependency):

dsh plugin --profile web add github:masknull/dsh-workspace-default-path

The package declares dsh.bundle, so the command also activates it (adds it to the profile's dsh.profile.bundles). If it is not auto-added, append "dsh-workspace-default-path" to that list in $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/package.json manually.

Runtime deps of the node half (@deepseek-ai/schemastery + cosmokit + @standard-schema/spec) are declared in dependencies, so pnpm resolves them into the profile's hoisted node_modules automatically — no manual copying.

Verify:

dsh --profile web --dump-config | grep workspace-default-path

Restart the web service after install or any code update (client HMR is disabled in the current web composition). Local development works the same way: dsh plugin --profile web add '<local-path>'.

Usage

Open Settings → General → "Remember last workspace" → On.
Add a workspace as usual (any method). Its path is remembered.
Next time you click Add workspace, the dialog opens on that directory.
Toggle Off anytime to restore the default behavior.

How it works

All over official seams; no official interaction is replaced.

Hook	Mechanism
Remember (write)	Subscribes to `ctx.workspaces.list`; any newly appearing workspace's `path` is written to `lastPath`
Prefill (read)	The browse dialog opens with `listDirectory(undefined)` (host home). When remembering is on and `lastPath` exists, that initial call is redirected to `listDirectory(lastPath)`; all other calls pass through untouched

Version compatibility

v0.2.0+ requires DSH ≥ dsh-v0.1.2-alpha.1: that release moved the snapshot-store primitives from @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime/client into the frozen module-table word @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-store. On older hosts this plugin refuses to load with a clear diagnostic; use the v0.1.x line (built for the client-runtime era) there.
Needs @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-workspace for the workspaces/browse-dialog services (built into current DSH).

Dependencies

Node half (lib/index.js): @deepseek-ai/schemastery (+ @deepseek-ai/cosmokit, @standard-schema/spec) — declared in dependencies, installed by pnpm on add.
Browser half: only official frozen-module-table entries (react, @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-store, @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-primitives).
