# One-line install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-status-rotator

⭐ If this made you smile, give it a star — it keeps the memes flowing.

Replaces the Deep diving... status line in the DeepSeek Harness (dsh) Web UI's turn footer with your own text: phase-aware switching, typewriter output, animated rainbow gradient (optional), timed rotation, template placeholders with live values ({elapsed}, {phase}, {model}, {tps}…), optional browser tab title rotation, a live status pill (model, phase, elapsed, tokens/s — fed by the same real-time engine), and presets with time-of-day scheduling. The elapsed-time clock (which appears after 15 seconds) is untouched.

Installation

Two ways to install: the recommended dsh plugin add command, or the manual copy. Either way, you need to restart dsh web once after first install.

Option A: dsh plugin add (recommended)

The plugin's package.json declares a dsh.bundle.patch manifest, so it's recognized automatically after install — no extra flags needed. The command syntax is dsh plugin --profile <name> add <package> (e.g. --profile web):

• From npm (easiest): dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-status-rotator ← always installs the latest release
• From a clone: dsh plugin --profile web add ./dsh-status-rotator
• From a release package: download the packaged tarball from the Release page, then dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-status-rotator-<version>.tgz.

Option B: manual install

1. Put this project directory under your profile's node_modules (default C:\Users\<you>\.dsh\profiles\node_modules\dsh-status-rotator\);

2. Insert the following into the profile's cordis.patch.yml:

   - insert:
       - id: status-rotator
         name: dsh-status-rotator
   

3. Run node gen-config.cjs to initialize the local config.json (copied from config.example.json);

4. Restart dsh web and hard-refresh the browser with Ctrl+F5.

Features

• Phase-aware: three sets of phrases — thinking (just started) / running (after 15s) / long (past the threshold). Switches immediately when the clock appears or the timeout hits, no need to wait for the rotation interval;
• Typewriter effect: phrases are typed out character by character, speed configurable, 0 disables it;
• Template placeholders: {elapsed} (live, refreshed every liveTickMs), {phase}, {phaseLabel}, {locale}, {date}, {time}, plus live-engine values {model}, {provider}, {tps}, {pending}, {tools}, {running} — e.g. 正在写代码 {elapsed} shows a ticking clock inside the phrase;
• Real-time status engine: subscribes to the dsh session snapshot (session list, conversation snapshot, model RPC, DOM clock fallback) — one source feeding the phrases, the tab title and the pill;
• Live status pill: a floating pill in the official shell.overlay seat, template-driven live info ({model} · {phaseLabel} · {elapsed} · ⚡{tps} tok/s), position/opacity configurable;
• Browser tab title: rotate document.title through your own templates (⏳ {phase} {elapsed}), restore the original title when idle (configurable);
• Presets & scheduling: multiple named phrase banks with their own config, switchable from the settings page or automatically by time-of-day / weekday rules;
• Rainbow gradient: text rendered with an animated gradient, colors and speed configurable, can be turned off with one switch;
• Phrases separated from code: all phrases live in config.json, editing them requires zero code and no restart;
• Settings page: a new "Status Texts" page in DSH's Settings, with visual editing for the Chinese/English × three-phase phrase banks, saves take effect immediately;
• Auto-loading: the node half registers an HTTP route to serve config.json, works out of the box with no localStorage or deployment needed;
• Hot reload: while the page stays open it re-reads config.json periodically, and re-reads immediately when you switch back to the tab — no refresh needed to apply new phrases;
• Multilingual: phrases switch live between Chinese and English following Settings → Language, unknown languages fall back to Chinese;
• Zero-intrusion targeting: locates TurnStatus precisely by role="status" + aria-live="polite", so it never touches code snippets in the chat history or other aria-live regions, and never touches the clock.

Phase Awareness

Phrases are split into three groups based on turn progress (determined by whether a clock has appeared in the TurnStatus element and its reading):

Phase changes swap the phrase immediately without waiting for the rotation interval. If a phase has no phrase group, it falls back automatically (running → thinking → any non-empty group).

Rainbow Gradient

Status text is shown with an animated rainbow gradient by default (applies to the text only, not the clock). Can be disabled or re-colored in the config:

"gradient": {
    "enabled": false,                          // false to disable; true for default colors
    "colors": ["#ff5f6d", "#00ff88", "#4da6ff"], // gradient color sequence (at least 2, first/last cycle)
    "speed": 4                                 // animation speed (seconds per cycle)
}

Template Placeholders

Any phrase (and any title template) may contain placeholders, replaced at render time:

Placeholders that change over time ({elapsed}, {date}, {time}, {tps}, {pending}, {tools}) are refreshed live every liveTickMs (default 1000 ms; 0 disables live refresh, they then update once per rotation). Unknown placeholders are left as-is, so {...} in a phrase is safe. The live values ({model}/{provider}/{tps}/{pending}/{tools}/{running}) come from a real-time status engine that subscribes to the dsh session snapshot and model RPC, with a DOM clock fallback — if the session API is unavailable, they stay — but the plugin keeps working.

"phrases": { "zh": { "thinking": ["正在写代码 {elapsed}…", "正在{phaseLabel}中 ({elapsed})…"] } }

Browser Tab Title

Optionally rotate the browser tab title while a turn is running:

"title": {
    "enabled": true,
    "templates": ["⏳ {phase} {elapsed}", "🤔 {phaseLabel}… {elapsed}"], // rotated every intervalMs
    "idleTemplate": "💤 dsh 空闲",   // "" = restore the original title when idle
    "intervalMs": 8000
}

Templates support the same placeholders as phrases. When no turn is active the title shows idleTemplate, or the original title if it is "". title: false disables it entirely.

Live Status Pill

A floating pill (official shell.overlay seat — the documented place for status pills) shows live information driven by the same real-time engine:

"pill": {
    "enabled": true,
    "template": "{model} · {phaseLabel} · {elapsed} · ⚡{tps} tok/s",
    "position": "right-bottom",   // right-bottom / left-bottom / right-top / left-top
    "opacity": 0.92
}

The template supports every phrase placeholder (including the live-engine ones: {model}, {provider}, {tps}, {pending}, {tools}). While a turn runs it ticks with: the model name (read from the official model-directory service, following session/model switches), the phase (thinking/running/long), the elapsed time and the streaming tokens/s — phase and elapsed are derived from the session snapshot (the turn's start moment is tracked by the engine itself, so it never depends on DOM structure); when idle it shows — · 空闲 · 0秒 · ⚡0 tok/s. pill: false disables it. If the session API is unavailable (older dsh), the DOM clock drives phase/elapsed as a fallback and the live fields show — — no crash, no errors.

Presets & Scheduling

Named presets can carry their own config and phrases; the editor on the settings page switches between them and a time schedule can switch the active preset automatically:

{
    "activePreset": "work",
    "presets": [
        { "id": "work", "label": { "zh": "工作模式", "en": "Work" },
          "config": { "intervalMs": 12000, "gradient": false },
          "phrases": { "zh": { "thinking": ["正在认真写代码…"] } } },
        { "id": "fun", "label": { "zh": "摸鱼模式", "en": "Fun" },
          "phrases": { "zh": { "thinking": ["正在摸鱼…"] } } }
    ],
    "schedule": [
        { "preset": "work", "days": ["mon", "tue", "wed", "thu", "fri"], "from": "09:00", "to": "18:00" },
        { "preset": "fun",  "days": ["sat", "sun"], "from": "00:00", "to": "23:59" }
    ]
}

• presets[]: each has an id (required), optional label (string or {zh, en}), optional config (merged over the top-level config) and optional phrases (used instead of the top-level phrases). A preset may be an id-only "shell" that just switches back to the base library.
• activePreset: preset id, or null/absent to use the top-level config / phrases.
• schedule[]: rules with preset, days (mon…sun, omitted = every day), from / to (HH:MM). Overnight windows (e.g. 22:00–06:00) are supported. While a rule matches, that preset is used; otherwise activePreset applies. The schedule is re-evaluated every minute and applies live.
• Settings-page edits always target the selected preset (or the base library when "Default" is selected); "Set active" writes activePreset; the schedule rules are edited as a list on the same page.

Configuration

Phrases are fully separated from the source code and live in JSON config files. There are two config files at the project root:

• config.example.json — the complete template committed to the repo: default config + all phrases (bilingual, split into three phases);
• config.json — your local personalized config, initialized by node gen-config.cjs (only created when missing, never overwrites your changes). It's in .gitignore, so edit freely without polluting git.

Auto-loading (default): the plugin's node half registers an HTTP route (/plugins/dsh-status-rotator/config.json) that serves the config.json next to the plugin (read from disk on every request). The browser fetches it automatically by default, and while the page stays open it re-reads every reloadIntervalMs, plus immediately when you switch back to the tab, so as long as config.json sits in the plugin directory, phrase edits take effect without a refresh or restart. The only restart of dsh web needed is on first install.

Persistent storage since v0.6.1: saved edits are written into the official dsh settings store ($DSH_HOME/settings.yaml, namespace status-rotator) — the same store the rest of dsh uses for its settings, which survives plugin upgrades. Upgrading via npm or a release package will no longer wipe your gradient/phrases/presets (previously config.json lived inside the plugin directory and was deleted on upgrade). The plugin-directory config.json remains as a compatibility mirror and fallback; a one-time import migrates an existing config.json into the settings store on first start.

{
    "config": { "intervalMs": 10000, "typeSpeedMs": 30, "longAfterMs": 60000, "reloadIntervalMs": 15000, "liveTickMs": 1000, "debug": false, "gradient": { "enabled": true, "colors": ["#ff5f6d", "#ffc371", "#ffdd55", "#7dff7d", "#5fd4ff", "#a78bfa", "#ff8adb"], "speed": 4 }, "title": { "enabled": false, "templates": ["⏳ {phaseLabel} {elapsed}"], "idleTemplate": "", "intervalMs": 8000 }, "pill": { "enabled": true, "template": "{model} · {phaseLabel} · {elapsed} · ⚡{tps} tok/s", "position": "right-bottom", "opacity": 0.92 } },
    "phrases": { "zh": { "thinking": ["…"], "running": ["…"], "long": ["…"] }, "en": { "thinking": ["…"], "running": ["…"], "long": ["…"] } },
    "presets": [],          // optional, see "Presets & Scheduling"
    "activePreset": null,   // optional preset id
    "schedule": []          // optional time rules
}

Phrase source priority, highest first:

1. localStorage single-text override dsh-status-rotator.texts[.<locale>] / texts;
2. localStorage full config dsh-status-rotator.config (paste JSON, applies after refresh);
3. External JSON: dsh-status-rotator.url > EXTERNAL_URL constant > local auto-load (/plugins/dsh-status-rotator/config.json);
4. Built-in defaults: only DEFAULT_CONFIG at the top of lib/client.js (no phrases).

If a localStorage override matches, the external config.json is silently suppressed; the new version logs a [status-rotator] ⚠ localStorage override active warning in the browser console — when you see it, clear the corresponding key.

Old phrase-only external JSON ({ "zh": [...], "en": [...] } or { "thinking": [...] }) is still supported and treated as a "phrases-only config".

Phrases switch live between Chinese and English following Settings → Language; unknown languages fall back to Chinese.

Editing the Phrase Bank in the Settings Page

Open Settings in the bottom-left of DSH and a new Status Texts page appears in the navigation:

• 中文 / English tabs, each with three text boxes for thinking / running / long, one phrase per line, blank lines are ignored;
• Each phase shows the current phrase count in real time;
• Basic settings (rotation interval, typewriter speed, long-task threshold, auto-reload interval, placeholder refresh interval) live on the same page;
• Live pill settings: enable toggle, display template, position — the pill and the live-engine placeholders are configured in the same page;
• Rainbow gradient settings: enable toggle, color sequence, speed — no more manual config.json editing to turn the gradient off;
• Preset selector: edit each preset's phrases/config independently; "Set active" writes activePreset; the currently effective preset (schedule included) is shown live;
• Schedule editor: add/remove weekday + time-window rules that switch presets automatically;
• Clicking "Save Phrase Bank" makes the browser PUT the full JSON to /plugins/dsh-status-rotator/config.json; the node half validates it and writes it back atomically, and already-open pages hot-apply it immediately without a refresh;
• Submitted content is validated (phrases must be string arrays, presets/schedule must match their shapes); invalid content returns 400 and shows an error on the page, so the config file can't be corrupted.

After upgrading to a version with the settings page, restart dsh web once (so the node half registers the write endpoint); everything after that can be done from the page.

QQ Group Member Phrase Generator

To turn every member of a QQ group into a phrase like 正在路由（群成员）写代码... (meaning "routing (group member) to write code..."), use scripts/fetch-qq-group.cjs to generate a standalone config file in one go — no need to type out the member list by hand.

Prerequisites: the bot is in the target group and you have a OneBot v11 compatible HTTP API (e.g. NapCat / LLOneBot / go-cqhttp / OpenShamrock).

# The default group is 684306814; generates config.qq684306814.json directly
node scripts/fetch-qq-group.cjs --url http://127.0.0.1:3000 --token your-token

# Directly replace the config.json the plugin actually uses (the old one is backed up as config.backup-<timestamp>.json)
node scripts/fetch-qq-group.cjs --url http://127.0.0.1:3000 --token your-token --activate

# No bot API? Save the member list as members.txt (one nickname per line) and generate from it
node scripts/fetch-qq-group.cjs --input members.txt

The display name prefers the group card name, falling back to the nickname. The generated file contains only the zh.thinking group: per this plugin's fallback rules, the thinking phase uses it directly and the other phases fall back to the same group. Template: config.qq684306814.example.json; the generated config.qq684306814.json is gitignored.

Testing

npm test (or node scripts/smoke-test.cjs) loads lib/client.js in a Node sandbox and asserts the pure logic — placeholder interpolation, elapsed formatting, clock parsing, config/preset/schedule normalization, schedule matching, and the node half's validation — no browser needed. The same suite runs automatically in CI on every push/PR (see .github/workflows/test.yml).

Uninstall

Remove the status-rotator line from cordis.patch.yml and restart dsh web.

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. The easiest way to add phrases: edit the phrases field in config.json or config.example.json directly — no code changes needed.
