 - **Codex** waits inside `dsh_wait`, up to 270 s per call, just under its 300 s tool timeout. An unfinished wait returns only the state, so Codex calls again without summarising. Codex gets no `wait_command`: its terminal cannot wake it, so it would poll.
 - Codex asks you to approve MCP tool calls: approve the `dsh-baton` tools. For unattended `codex exec` runs, add `--approve-for-me`.
+**How a hand-over is checked** (from 0.6.0)
+You don't have to take DeepSeek's word for it. Before the run, dsh-baton notes what is in the folder. When the run ends it shows exactly which files were created, changed or deleted, and runs your project's own tests itself (`npm test`, or whatever the client passes as `checks`). A second, read-only DeepSeek agent then goes through the request point by point and ends with a table: requirement, met or not, and where (file:line). Claude or GPT reads just that, sends anything missing back in one message, and opens code only where a row says "not met". Unless `cwd` names another folder, the new Harness session starts in the folder you're already working in.

+</p>
+## Token usage
+**In short: hand over the big, long jobs.** A feature that spans many files, a large refactor, a whole small app: that is where it saves the most. Claude Code's own bill drops by 65–81%, and Codex gets 2 to 4 times as many tasks out of a ChatGPT Plus 5-hour window.
+**The honest part:** for small and medium tasks, Codex on GPT-6.1 Sol is cheap enough that doing it alone costs less in total than handing it over. The hand-over pays off when you want Claude or GPT to plan and review, a cheaper model to do the typing, and you'd rather not keep hitting the 5-hour limit.
+**Who this is for:** most of us pay for Claude or ChatGPT with a plan (Plus, Pro, Max 5x…), while DeepSeek is pay-as-you-go from a balance you top up, so every hand-over is money spent outside your plan. If your plan's limits already cover how you work, you don't need this: keep it simple and keep the money. If you're like me and keep running long, messy jobs with round after round of changes, and keep hitting the limit, a little DeepSeek spend gets you a lot more out of the plan you already pay for.

 ## Install details
+<details>
+<summary>What the plugin does, updating, removing, upgrading from dsh-bridge, installing from source, Windows</summary>
 **What the plugin does when switched on.** It copies the MCP server to `~/.dsh-baton/app`, a folder that stays put, and writes the MCP entry into `~/.claude.json` and `~/.codex/config.toml` directly, keeping a `*.bak-dsh-baton` backup of each. It starts the server with your own Node.js ≥ 22.15 when it finds one on `PATH`; without one, with Harness's own runtime (the Harness app in Node mode, `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1`), so nothing else has to be installed. Either way it works with only the desktop apps installed, when `claude` / `codex` are not on your `PATH`. It runs again on each Harness start: an entry that is already right, or a working one that starts another copy of dsh-baton, is left alone. In Harness, the source switches to the npm registry ("Official npm registry", 「npm 官方源」) by itself once you type the package name, and no restart is needed. To turn the registration off, set `DSH_BATON_AUTO_REGISTER=0` for Harness.
 **Updates need no restart.** When a newer version lands in `~/.dsh-baton/app` (a plugin update, `setup`, or a copy by hand), conversations already open in Claude Code and Codex use it from their next `dsh_*` call: the server checks the folder before each call, starts the new version, and says once in that call's result that it was updated. A `dsh_wait` that is already running finishes on the old version first. If the new version cannot start, the old one keeps working and the result says why. A tool added in the new version shows up in Claude Code at once (the server tells the client its tool list changed); Codex keeps the tool list a conversation started with, so it does not show a new tool until the next conversation; from 0.5.9 on it can still use one at once through `dsh_call`, which the update note points to, and the tools it already has run the new code right away. This works from the version after 0.5.8 on; a server started from 0.5.8 or earlier needs one last restart (or `/mcp` reconnect) to pick it up.
 **`npx -y dsh-baton-mcp setup`** does the same registration from a terminal: for a plugin that could not register, or when you come from an MCP directory. With the plugin already registered it changes nothing, then points you to the plugin if it is missing.
-**Updating.** Harness has an update button only for its official plugins, so: Plugins → dsh-baton-host → **Uninstall**, then **Add plugin** → `dsh-baton-host`. For a while after a release, Harness installs the previous version instead (pnpm's `minimumReleaseAge` holds back versions published very recently, and the install dialog says so); to get the new one at once, type the version: `dsh-baton-host@0.5.0`. Switched on again, the plugin brings the MCP server to the same version; new conversations use it. If the two are ever out of step, the first tool call that notices it says so.

A pre-release must always be added by its exact version, such as `dsh-baton-host@0.6.0-next.0`: Harness resolves `@next` to a broken placeholder. Plain `dsh-baton-host` gets the latest release. Switched on again, the plugin brings the MCP server to the same version; new conversations use it. If the two are ever out of step, the first tool call that notices it says so, naming the older side and the newer side's exact version to install.
 **Removing.** Harness → Plugins → dsh-baton-host → **Uninstall**, then `npx -y dsh-baton-mcp setup --remove`. The plugin cannot tell an uninstall from Harness quitting, so it leaves the MCP entries to that command, which also deletes `~/.dsh-baton/app`; run records stay in `~/.dsh-baton` until you delete it.
