-* **Destructive-action double confirmation**: `merge`, `close`, `release delete`, clobber uploads, `secret delete`, and `skill install` require an explicit `confirm: true` parameter; without it, only an impact assessment is returned — nothing executes. This prevents accidental merges or deletions from model hallucinations.
-* **Secret stdin channel**: Secret values travel via subprocess stdin — never on the command line (ps / task-manager safe), never persisted, never echoed; gh encrypts locally with the repository public key before uploading.

   * **📋 Manual Only (Energy Saver)**: Browse local cache only; zero background `gh` processes triggered; click `[🔄 Refresh]` whenever you want updates.
+* **Advanced Automation & Status Perception**:
+  * **📁 Local Git Real-Time Watch (Right Sidebar Only, Enabled by Default)**: Monitors `.git/HEAD` and `.git/index` metadata directly; staging, commit, and branch changes synchronize to the sidebar within milliseconds with an 800ms debounce, consuming zero external network quota; omitted from the main cockpit to preserve lightweight performance.
 * **Visual Cache Management**: Real-time snapshot size and timestamp visibility with one-click `[🗑️ Clear Cache]`.
 
 **🌐 Network Proxy Section** — route all plugin traffic through your proxy:
-* **Global Scope**: Once configured, the cockpit, right-sidebar panel, all 9 Agent tool invocations, and one-click upgrades route through the proxy; when disabled, system environment proxies (`HTTPS_PROXY` etc.) or direct connections apply;
-* **Protocol Support**: `http://` / `https://` / `socks5://` / `socks5h://` (gh and npm chains natively support SOCKS5; `socks5h` delegates DNS resolution to the proxy for stronger pollution resistance; the npm version probe uses Node fetch which does not support SOCKS — it stays direct and the UI states this honestly);

 * **Instant Effect**: Persisted to `~/.dsh/data/dsh-github-flow/proxy.json` (auto-restored on DSH restart) — no restart, no plugin reload;
-* **Visibility**: A `🌐 Proxy` badge appears in the cockpit title bar while active; hover to inspect the current proxy URL;
-* **NO_PROXY Exclusions**: `localhost` and `127.0.0.1` are forcibly included — loopback Web API requests are never hijacked by the proxy.

 **⬆️ Update Source Section** — choose which npm registry checks for new versions:
 * **Three options**: 🌍 npm official registry (default — new releases visible immediately) / 🇨🇳 npmmirror (fast in China; minutes-level sync delay) / ⛔ No update checks (only silences the upgrade banner; `/gh upgrade` and one-click upgrade remain available);
 * **Strict single-source**: the selected source is never silently swapped — probe failures are reported honestly;
-* **Detection & upgrade traffic follows the global proxy setting** (socks5 boundary stated honestly in the UI);
-* **One-click upgrade installs from the selected source** — consistent with version detection;
 * **Verify on save**: switching sources immediately probes the new registry and shows the latest version.
