  ## Install
54
23
 
55
- One command installs everything — the settings-page plugin, and the preset it seeds on first
56
- activation:
24
+ Pin the version. A bare name can install an older build during pnpm's release cooldown. Details: [docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md](docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
57
25
 
58
26
  ```sh
59
- dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-custom-mode@2.1.0 # pin the version to get this one for sure
60
- # A bare `add dsh-custom-mode` is subject to pnpm's release cooldown (`minimumReleaseAge`, 1 day by
61
- # default): for hours after a release it can silently install an OLDER version — measured: a bare
62
- # install 38 minutes after 1.3.0 shipped landed on 1.0.3. Check what you got with `npm ls
63
- # dsh-custom-mode` inside the profile, or pin the version as above.
27
+ dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-custom-mode@2.2.1
64
28
  ```
65
29
 
66
- Restart dsh afterwards, then choose「自定义模式」for a new session. The preset is written to
67
- `$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/custom/`; anything already there is left alone, so a `prompt.md` you wrote
68
- yourself is never overwritten.
69
-
70
- **Platforms**: the suite runs on every push under Ubuntu (Node 20 and 24) **and Windows (Node 24)** — the
71
- Windows job exists because that platform has its own failure modes (MSYS paths in `install.sh`, `rename`
72
- locking under concurrent saves, platform expressions evaluating the other way). Both shell scripts work in
73
- any POSIX shell, Git Bash included.
30
+ Restart the process that serves the profile. The version on the settings page is the one that is running.
74
31
 
75
- ### Installing from the interface (no terminal)
32
+ Desktop app: install from the in-app Plugins page. The CLI cannot modify `profiles/desktop`.
76
33
 
77
- From dsh `0.1.6-alpha.2` there is a Plugins page: **sidebar → Plugins → Add plugin**. It takes three
78
- kinds of input, and all three work here:
79
-
80
- | Input | What to paste |
81
- | --- | --- |
82
- | **Package name** | `dsh-custom-mode` |
83
- | **GitHub repository URL** | `https://github.com/BOWLUNA/dsh-custom-mode` (the repository root) |
84
- | **Local plugin directory** | `<your clone>` — the repository root, which *is* the package |
34
+ On Windows, `install.sh` is bash and it needs a `dsh` executable on `PATH`. Otherwise use the `dsh` shipped with DeepSeek Harness, or `node node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh/lib/bin.js`.
85
35
 
86
- There is also an **in-app market** for browsing the whole ecosystem: install `dshmarket`
87
- (`dsh plugin --profile web add dshmarket`), open **Settings → Plugin Market** and search
88
- `dsh-custom-mode` — its cards read the `engines.dsh` range this plugin declares, and the curated shots
89
- listed in the repository's `screenshots.json` (five images; they are the same `docs/images/*.png`
90
- files the README shows, so each picture exists once).
36
+ ## Use
91
37
 
92
- All three work because the repository's **root `package.json` is the published package**: `dsh.bundle`,
93
- `main` and `exports["./client"]` are declared there, so an npm install and a GitHub-URL install fetch
94
- the same files. Before 1.10.0 this repository carried two manifests — a `private: true` wrapper at the
95
- root plus `editor/package.json` — and that is what made third-party catalogues render the plugin as
96
- `dsh-custom-mode#editor` and what made dshfind-derived cards read the wrapper's `private: true` and
97
- report "not published to npm". One manifest at the root, and `test/manifests.test.mjs` keeps it that way.
38
+ 1. Open Settings → Custom mode.
39
+ 2. Edit the system prompt. Save is directly under the editor.
40
+ 3. A new session uses this assistant when `settings.yaml` has no `agent-presets.default` yet. An existing value is left as it is.
98
41
 
99
- ### On the desktop app
42
+ The prompt is `prompt.md`. The next time a model step is assembled, that file is read again. History can load an older draft into the editor; loading does not write. A save computed against an older copy is refused when the file changed underneath. The model can change the same file only through `custom_prompt`, which asks first.
100
43
 
101
- The desktop application is part of dsh itself (`apps/desktop`), version-locked to it — Electron and
102
- `@deepseek-ai/dsh` always carry the same exact version — and it is **the complete Web application in an
103
- Electron shell**, so this plugin's page renders there unchanged. One install path, and it is the one above:
44
+ New assistants start as one posture. That choice applies only to the assistant you create next.
104
45
 
105
- - **Install from inside the app**: sidebar → **Plugins** → add plugin → search `dsh-custom-mode`.
106
- The app runs the shared plugin manager with its own bundled pnpm.
107
- - **Do not try to use a standalone CLI for it — dsh itself refuses** (measured on 0.1.7-rc.2, and again on
108
- 0.2.0-rc.2):
109
- ```
110
- $ dsh plugin --profile desktop add .
111
- error: profile "desktop" is managed exclusively by the Electron application
112
- ```
113
- The desktop owns `$DSH_HOME/profiles/desktop`: package operations there hold a profile transaction lock
114
- and startup recovery renames `cordis.patch.yml`. `install.sh` therefore **refuses** `--profile desktop`
115
- too and points you at the app, so the two agree instead of one silently working around the other.
116
- (A lab simulation of the profile shape can override it with `DSH_ALLOW_DESKTOP_PROFILE=1`.)
117
- **The app's own bundled CLI is the exception** — `<install>\resources\runtime\cli\bin\dsh.cmd` is allowed
118
- to operate on that profile (an older note claimed a pin installed a different version; that note is withdrawn).
119
- It is a launcher, not a dsh feature: it starts Electron with `ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1` and runs the
120
- desktop-host CLI, so it is the app talking to its own profile rather than something driving from outside.
121
- - **Nothing else to do on the preset side**: `$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/` is product data shared by the
122
- desktop app and the CLI, and the preset is seeded by the plugin on first activation.
123
- - **If the mode does not show up in the picker, open Settings → Custom mode and read the warning.** A preset
124
- whose rows cannot start on that machine is marked *broken* by the platform and dropped from every picker;
125
- the settings page names the rows and offers **Fix for this line**. On the desktop line that can take one
126
- click and then a **restart of the app** — the picker re-reads the registry only at boot (measured on
127
- 1.11.1, see `docs/MEASUREMENTS.md` section 34).
128
- - If a third-party bundle ever keeps the app from starting, the native recovery dialog offers
129
- **Disable third-party plugins**; installed packages and the plugin's own data stay on disk.
130
-
131
- **Compatibility is declared, not assumed.** dsh checks every plugin's
132
- `peerDependencies["@deepseek-ai/dsh"]` against the running runtime (prereleases included), and since
133
- 0.2.0 that check is an **installation gate**, not a warning: a range that does not cover the runtime
134
- means `dsh plugin add` refuses the package outright
135
- (`installation rejected: Plugin … is incompatible with dsh 0.2.0-rc.2`). The declared range therefore
136
- *is* the support statement, which is why it moves only after the new line has been installed and tested
137
- — a range that "probably" works is exactly the kind of claim that turns into a support ticket.
138
-
139
- To keep the sources around as well — or to install without npm — clone and run the script, which does
140
- the same two things explicitly:
141
-
142
- ```sh
143
- git clone https://github.com/BOWLUNA/dsh-custom-mode
144
- cd dsh-custom-mode
145
- ./install.sh # copies preset/ into $DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/custom/ and installs the plugin
146
- ./uninstall.sh # removes the plugin; keeps your prompt unless you pass --purge
147
- ```
148
-
149
- The mode needs a profile that ships `agent-presets` — the `web` profile does, `tui` and `headless` do
150
- not.
151
-
152
- ### Trying it without installing anything
153
-
154
- Every release carries a **`dsh-custom-mode.dshpreset`** beside the source
155
- ([latest](https://github.com/BOWLUNA/dsh-custom-mode/releases/latest/download/dsh-custom-mode.dshpreset)).
156
- It is a zip holding one ready-to-use assistant: `manifest.json` plus `preset/` — the composition, a
157
- `prompt.md`, the reader that re-reads it before every model step, and a model-facing tool that reads and
158
- rewrites that prompt. Import it in the desktop app and you have a working「自定义模式」**without
159
- installing a package**:
160
-
161
- | | |
46
+ | Posture | After create |
162
47
  | --- | --- |
163
- | **What you get** | one assistant whose system prompt is a plain file. Edit it in any editor — the agent loop re-reads it before every model step, so the change applies on the next step, with no restart. Or just ask the model to rewrite it: the preset ships exactly that tool. |
164
- | **What you don't get** | the settings page. That is what the plugin adds — the page itself, plus managing **several** assistants side by side and picking one from the new-session menu. |
165
-
166
- So the preset is the 30-second way to see what this is, and the plugin is the way to live with it.
167
- Importing the preset does not conflict with installing the plugin afterwards: the plugin seeds its own
168
- preset under `$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/` and never overwrites a `prompt.md` you wrote.
169
-
170
- ## Usage
171
-
172
- The settings page (Settings → "Custom mode") is an **assistant manager**: the top of the page lists
173
- every custom mode you have — create, switch, delete — and the four blocks below (name, base mode,
174
- plugin switches, system prompt) edit **whichever one is selected**.
48
+ | Develop | Built-in Standard tool set. |
49
+ | Write | Terminal off. File tools on. |
50
+ | Chat | Files and terminal off. |
175
51
 
176
- - **Ordering** — "Move up / Move down" writes the order into each assistant's `preset.yml` (`order`,
177
- the roster's own sort key), so it survives a restart and the new-session picker follows it.
178
- - **Import / export a prompt** — "Export prompt" saves the current text as a `.md`; "Import prompt"
179
- reads a file into the **editor** (nothing is written until you save), so an import goes through the
180
- same `{{…}}` validation as anything typed.
181
- - **Asking the agent to change its own prompt requires your approval.** The in-session `custom_prompt`
182
- tool goes through the platform's approval seam (`tools/pre-execute` returning `ask`), so the request waits
183
- for an explicit「允许一次」and shows what would be written and where. Measured: with the `ask` approval
184
- policy the panel appears and approving really writes; with `never` (full access) nothing prompts and the
185
- call is **denied**. The worst case is therefore "the change does not happen", never "it happened quietly".
186
- - **配置了却不生效会被点名** — the page warns when a setting cannot take effect: the「身份(系统提示词)」
187
- row is off while `prompt.md` still has content (so your prompt is silently ignored), the `custom_prompt`
188
- tool row is off, the assistant has no name or no description (the picker shows the bare id /「暂无描述」).
189
- - **The agent can change its own prompt, with your approval** — the in-session `custom_prompt` tool reads the
190
- prompt, replaces it, or **appends** to it. Appending matters because it never has to *reproduce* the whole
191
- prompt: an agent that wants to remember one rule cannot lose existing content on the way (measured: it may
192
- still read first to see what it is adding to). Both writing actions go through the platform's approval panel
193
- first.
194
- - **Change history** — every save, *and* any change made outside this page (the in-session
195
- `custom_prompt` tool, a hand edit of `prompt.md`), leaves a version in the history list under the
196
- prompt box, labelled with when and where it came from. Loading one only edits the draft: nothing is
197
- written until you save, so browsing old versions cannot destroy the current one. Before this, a prompt
198
- changed from inside a session was invisible — the page only ever showed "the current text".
199
- - **Reset to the factory prompt** — one click puts the **shipped template** (the text a new assistant
200
- starts from) back into the editor. It is draft-only like every other edit: nothing is written until
201
- you save, and Reload discards it. Before this existed, a prompt you had edited into a corner could
202
- only be recovered by deleting the assistant and creating it again.
203
- - **New assistant** — type a name and click "New assistant". It is seeded from the packaged template:
204
- the full Standard row set plus a starter prompt, selectable in a new session as soon as you save it —
205
- **in an already-open page the picker's list is a load-time snapshot, so refresh (F5) once to see a new
206
- assistant there** (measured; the roster itself is up to date).
207
- - **Duplicate** — copies the selected assistant's prompt, base mode and row switches into a new one;
208
- the two are independent afterwards.
209
- - **Each assistant is independent** — its prompt, base mode and row switches are its own; changing one
210
- leaves the others alone.
211
- - **Base mode is the row set, not the prompt** — it decides which rows exist and which tools the mode has;
212
- this plugin always replaces the base's `persona` row with its own reader (`complete: false`), so the
213
- base's *prompt* semantics are **not** inherited. Minimal is the visible case: you get minimal's tool set,
214
- not minimal's prompt.
215
- - **A fifth base mode: Custom — the union of every shipped row.** The first four are dsh's own; the fifth is
216
- **synthesised by this plugin**. Its row set is the union of those four, and a row declared by more than one
217
- mode keeps the text and shipped default of whichever mode comes first in `standard → ptc → minimal →
218
- cordis` order — so standard's shipped state wins where there is a conflict.
219
- Why it has to exist: a switch can only rewrite a row the *base text already has*, so on Standard the rows
220
- only PTC declares (`tool-presentation`), only Minimal declares (the persistent-terminal group) and only
221
- Cordis declares (`tool-cordis`) were **unreachable** — not hidden in the UI, just absent from the composer.
222
- Measured on `0.2.0-rc.2`: standard 32 rows, PTC 33, Cordis 33, Minimal 7, and the union **40**. Groups
223
- travel whole with their `isolate` realms and `!!js` conditions intact, so the union cannot invent a row
224
- that `dsh-agent-presets` would refuse to mount.
225
- - **The two shells cannot both be on, and the plugin moves the switch for you.** The union contains one
226
- mutually exclusive pair: Minimal's "persistent terminal" set and standard's `tool-bash` / `tool-pwsh` are
227
- two implementations of the same thing — both register a tool called `bash`. Enabling both makes
228
- `dsh-agent-presets` mark the whole mode **broken**, and a broken mode is silently dropped from **every**
229
- picker while the settings page stays green. So in Custom mode, turning one side on turns the other off,
230
- and the save message says which row moved. A conflicting combination written outside the page (hand edit,
231
- another tool) is named by a warning instead of failing silently.
232
- - **Switching assistants never discards drafts** — each keeps its own unsaved edits, marked
233
- "Unsaved" in the list; the only path that throws edits away is the reload button, which renames
234
- itself to say so.
235
- - **Delete** — a confirmation, then the plugin does the removal itself. Which confirmation depends on the
236
- line: when the shell hands a third-party client plugin its `RiskConfirmation` atom you get the shell's own
237
- dialog with a tick-box; on `0.1.7-rc.2` the client seed table only exposes `Button/Input/Switch/Tag/Pill`,
238
- so it degrades to a native `confirm` (same guardrail, one prompt instead of a dialog). Removal works on both
239
- lines: `0.1.6` and older have `agentPresets.remove()`, while `0.1.7`+ has no such call at all — there the
240
- plugin disposes its own registration and removes the directory. It only removes the mode directory from disk:
241
- **sessions already using it keep running** (their composition was read when they started), and new sessions
242
- no longer offer it.
243
- - **Ask the agent** — every assistant ships a `custom_prompt` tool, so a session can read or rewrite
244
- **its own** prompt.
245
- - **Edit the file** — `$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/<assistant id>/prompt.md` is that assistant's single
246
- source of truth.
52
+ ## Boundaries
247
53
 
248
- Only `{{model}}`, `{{cwd}}` and `{{provider}}` are interpolated. An unknown `{{…}}` is rejected when
249
- saved: the renderer throws on it, which would fail every request in that mode.
54
+ - It does not replace Standard, PTC, Minimal, or Creator.
55
+ - It does not ship a role-play preset.
56
+ - It does not run in the desktop profile from the CLI. Headless mode will not start a session that uses an agent preset.
250
57
 
251
- Every control (buttons, inputs, switches, tags, the confirmation dialog, icons) comes from the
252
- shell's own `@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-primitives`, so theme, light/dark and future restyling reach
253
- this page automatically; a shell that does not provide those atoms falls back to built-in plain
254
- controls with the same behaviour.
58
+ ## Compatibility
255
59
 
256
- An "assistant" is **one directory** under the user preset root (default `$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/`),
257
- and its directory name is its internal id. The page manages only **presets this tool created** — the
258
- test is that the directory carries `prompt.md` and that its composition injects identity through
259
- `prompt-reader.mjs`. Any other hand-authored preset is neither listed nor touched: the page
260
- regenerates a composition from a base mode, and doing that to a hand-written one would destroy it.
60
+ Declared range: `>=0.1.5-rc.2 <0.2.0-0 || >=0.1.6-alpha.1 <0.2.0-0 || >=0.1.7-alpha.1 <0.2.0-0 || >=0.2.0-0 <0.3.0-0 || >=0.2.1-alpha.1 <0.3.0-0`
261
61
 
262
- ### How this differs from the built-in Plugins page
263
-
264
- From dsh `0.1.6-alpha.2` the harness ships a Plugins page that can enable and disable plugins live.
265
- It and this mode's per-row switches act at **different levels**:
266
-
267
- | | Built-in Plugins page | This mode's per-row switches |
62
+ | dsh | Claim | Checked for 2.2.1 |
268
63
  | --- | --- | --- |
269
- | Scope | **The whole profile** — what this machine has installed | **One agent mode** — which rows its composition mounts |
270
- | Typical use | Turn a plugin off globally | Keep Standard fully loaded and trim this mode to what it needs |
271
-
272
- They coexist: the harness decides what the machine has, this mode decides which of it the mode uses.
273
-
274
- The boundary is **drawn by upstream**: the Plugins page documents that it manages "the profile's bundles
275
- and their uniquely addressable rows", and states plainly that **agent-preset rows remain read-only**.
276
- The preset layer is therefore out of its reach — and that is exactly the layer this mode covers.
64
+ | `0.2.0-rc.2` | declared | Windows web profile, before this release |
65
+ | `0.2.1-alpha.1` | declared, in CI | not re-run for this release |
66
+ | `0.1.7-rc.2` | declared, in CI | not re-run for this release |
277
67
 
278
- A demonstrable example: `tool-plugin-manager` (the agent-facing install/toggle tool) ships **off in
279
- Standard and PTC** — only Creator enables it. The official modes give you no way to change that; here
280
- you flip one switch.
68
+ The unit suite also passed under WSL2 Ubuntu 26.04 (Node only, no dsh process, no browser). That is not a Linux desktop result.
281
69
 
282
- ## How it works
70
+ ## Docs
283
71
 
284
- dsh normally takes the system prompt from a preset's YAML, and `@deepseek-ai/dsh-persona` resolves its
285
- `prefix` once at mount. This preset registers the same `deployment:persona-prefix` section but makes
286
- its `text` a **function**, which the agent loop calls before every model step.
287
-
288
- Two different things therefore decide when a change lands:
289
-
290
- - **Prompt text** is re-read per step, so an edit applies to the **running** session immediately.
291
- - **Switches and base mode** rewrite the composition file. `agent-presets` remounts a preset when that
292
- file's `mtimeMs` and `size` change, so a **new session** picks them up; a running session keeps the
293
- configuration it started with, which is deliberate — swapping a tool set mid-conversation would be wrong.
294
-
295
- Row switches are tri-state. A row you never touched stays byte-identical to the shipped one, including
296
- its `!!js` platform condition and its shipped `disabled` state; an explicit on/off replaces that
297
- condition with a boolean. Platform expressions are evaluated on the host, so the page shows the state
298
- actually in force on this machine rather than whether a key exists.
299
-
300
- Several assistants need no new mechanism: `dsh-agent-presets` already scans **every** directory under
301
- the user preset root, and re-reads those roots on each roster call, so a directory created just now is
302
- selectable the next time a session is started. Each assistant's `prompt-reader.mjs` / `prompt-tool.mjs`
303
- resolves `prompt.md` relative to **its own module location**, so N copies are N independent prompts.
304
- Creation seeds the packaged template; deletion goes through the platform's `agentPresets.remove()` where it
305
- exists and through the plugin's own dispose-and-remove path where it does not (0.1.7+),
306
- which refuses a shipped preset and re-checks that the directory really lives under the writable root.
307
-
308
- ## Versioning
309
-
310
- The package version is its **own line** — `1.0.0`, then `1.0.1`, … It does not mirror the DSH release.
311
- What this plugin supports is declared in `engines.dsh` and the `@deepseek-ai/dsh` peer range in
312
- `package.json`, and `tools/verify-version-consistency.mjs` (run in CI) asserts that the DSH
313
- version CI installs and tests falls inside those ranges.
314
-
315
- **Three lines are supported: the newest stable line (`0.2.0-rc.2`, which npm's `latest` and `next` both
316
- point at since 2026-09-29, and the line the desktop app ships), the newest preview line
317
- (`0.2.1-alpha.1`, which npm's `alpha` points at) and the previous stable (`0.1.7-rc.2` — still inside
318
- the declared range, and what most existing installs run)** — declared as
319
- `>=0.1.5-rc.2 <0.2.0-0 || >=0.1.6-alpha.1 <0.2.0-0 || >=0.1.7-alpha.1 <0.2.0-0 || >=0.2.0-0 <0.3.0-0 || >=0.2.1-alpha.1 <0.3.0-0`.
320
- The official one-click installer reads `peerDependencies` and **lets prereleases match** (`semver.satisfies(version, range, { includePrerelease: true })` in `dsh-app-boot`). The current stable line `0.2.0-rc.2` and the preview line `0.2.1-alpha.1` both install. The range still names those prereleases because npm and pnpm's default comparison is stricter, so a marketplace using that comparison does not reject the preview line either. CI installs all three lines and runs the full suite on each. The render gate runs only on `0.2.0-rc.2`, where the shell's UI changes land first. Older `0.1.5` / `0.1.6` builds stay inside the peer range and no longer have their own CI leg.
321
- **The official desktop app (DeepSeek Harness Desktop) is covered too**: it is version-locked to dsh and now
322
- ships `0.2.0-rc.2`, i.e. the same combination this matrix pins. Install it from inside the app (sidebar →
323
- Plugins); the CLI is refused for that profile by dsh itself. On `0.2.0-rc.2` measured (2026-09-30, clean
324
- throwaway `DSH_HOME`): `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-custom-mode` resolves the package in 640 ms, the
325
- composition tree carries the row, boot seeds all five preset files, the declarative registry syncs the
326
- assistant, and the `agentPresets` capability set is unchanged (`list, register, inventory, select,
327
- document`).
328
-
329
- Two reasons for the split. A bare `x.y.z` is what directories and markets require before they will
330
- auto-install a package — several resolve npm `latest` and reject anything carrying a prerelease tag.
331
- And a version string was never a checkable claim anyway: the declared range is, and it is the thing
332
- that goes stale when upstream moves. What decides compatibility in practice is still whether the APIs
333
- below exist, which is what the ranges are for.

345
- | `agentPresets.list()` rows carrying `id` / `trust` / `path`, with `preset.yml` supplying `name` / `description` | the assistant list is empty or unrecognisable |
346
- | `agentPresets.remove(id)` (legacy only), refusing `trust: 'system'` | 0.1.7+ deletion no longer needs it — the declarative backend disposes the registration and deletes the directory instead |
347
- | the `/api` channel's fence (Host/Origin + browser auth) | the page cannot authenticate at all; do **not** "fix" it by moving the route to the raw `webServer` table |
348
- | `ctx.inject(deps, cb)` (scoped wait) | the row parks in `pending` in profiles without a web server |
349

351
- | **`settings.section` no longer takes `locale:`** (since 0.1.6-alpha.2) | the shell does not hand over a `t` bound to this namespace; the page carries its own dictionaries as a floor — see ARCHITECTURE §15 |

355
- | shipped layout `<presets>/<id>/agent.cordis.yml` and row text shape | base-mode switching breaks |

392
- ## Updating
393
-
394
- The plugin lives in the profile's `node_modules` and the platform owns that installation, so updating means
395
- installing again — your data is not touched:
396
-
397
- ```sh
398
- # the pinned form: what you ask for is what you get
399
- dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-custom-mode@2.1.0
400
- # then restart the DSH process that serves the web profile
401
- ```
402
-
403
- **Do not install by bare name, and do not use `@latest`.** pnpm applies a release cooldown
404
- (`minimumReleaseAge`, 24 hours by default). A bare `dsh plugin add dsh-custom-mode` resolves to *the newest
405
- version older than 24 hours*. Measured: while npm `latest` was 1.12.2 and six minutes old, `@latest` installed
406
- 1.11.6. Pin the exact version.
407
-
408
- Each exact pin appends a `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` line in the profile's `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. pnpm 11.7.0
409
- honours only the first line that matches the package name ([pnpm#12463](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12463)).
410
- Keep one line, `dsh-custom-mode`, not a list of versions. This plugin does not edit that file. If install fails
411
- with `ERR_PNPM_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION`, merge the list to that one line and run the install again:
412
- `node_modules` may already show the new version while `package.json` still names the old one.
413
-
414
- **How to know the upgrade worked**: restart dsh, then read the version at the bottom of this settings page.
415
-
416
- **What an update does not touch**: `$DSH_HOME/.agent-presets/<your assistants>/` — `prompt.md`, `preset.yml` and
417
- your row switches are yours. Seeding only fills in *missing* files, so a prompt you wrote is never overwritten.
418
-
419
- **If the base mode and the plugin switches are greyed out with a one-line warning**: this dsh line exposes no
420
- shipped composition to this plugin (the resolver tried the host's `readDocument()`, the legacy presets package
421
- and the packaged `dsh-web-app` patch — the host log names each attempt). The system prompt still saves on its
422
- own; nothing else about the mode is touched. On 0.1.7 that was a hard 500 until 1.9.13.
423
-
424
- **If a mode stops appearing in the picker after an update**: an assistant created by an older version keeps its
425
- old composition file, and if that file enables a plugin row this dsh line does not ship, the platform marks the
426
- whole preset broken and silently drops it while the settings page keeps working. Open the settings page: it says
427
- so and offers **「Fix for this line」**, which turns exactly those rows off and leaves everything else alone.
