What is this? 🤔

DSH is your AI assistant workbench — it holds your settings: model configs, plugins, skills, workspaces…

DSH Config Manager is its "moving service":

┌──────────────┐   ① one-click    ┌─────────────────┐   ② one-click    ┌──────────────┐
│  Machine A    │ ──── export ───► │ dsh-config.zip   │ ──── import ───► │  Machine B    │
│  my config    │                  │   (one file)     │                  │  all restored │
└──────────────┘                  └─────────────────┘                  └──────────────┘

⚠️ Security first: no secrets (API Key / Token / Password) are exported by default. See Security.

🎯 Use Cases

Backup DeepSeek Harness configuration

Create a portable backup of your DSH settings, model providers, plugins, MCP servers, skills, agent presets and workspace — one ZIP file, no secret values included by default. (DSH's own profiles — $DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>, i.e. which plugin stack to boot — are machine-local and are not part of the backup; the Environment → Profiles view manages them instead — list / create / rename / delete, plus launching or stopping an independent instance for one.)

Restore DeepSeek Harness on another machine

Export your current DSH environment as a single ZIP and import it on a new Windows, macOS or Linux machine. One click brings back settings, plugins, MCP servers, skills and global instructions (AGENTS.md).

Migrate DSH configuration to a new computer

Move your complete DeepSeek Harness setup without manually reinstalling plugins, MCP servers and skills. Dead absolute paths are detected and remapped automatically (batch prefix mapping supported).

Sync DSH configuration across machines

Keep portable configuration synchronized between machines through a private Git repository, WebDAV, an S3-compatible object store (AWS S3 / Alibaba OSS / Tencent COS / MinIO / Qiniu Kodo) or GitHub Gist — secrets do not sync by default (the payload is run through the SecretScanner); check "Export secrets" with an encryption password and ~/.dsh/.credentials.yaml travels as scrypt + AES-256-GCM ciphertext inside the encrypted snapshot, so another machine can restore the credentials while the remote (Git host / WebDAV / object store / Gist) only ever sees ciphertext.

Schedule automatic full backups

Turn on scheduled backups in the Home → Scheduled backup card (6h / 12h / 24h / 7d — or a custom weekly weekday & time) and DSH quietly keeps a fresh full backup of your configuration in the background — secrets are never included, so it stays safe on disk without a password. How many are kept is decided by the retention policy in the same card (last N + one per month + one per year), and consecutive failures are highlighted in red.

Discover & install configurations from the marketplace

Browse the built-in official market for ready-made configurations (model providers, plugins, MCP servers, skills, agent presets…), preview what would be imported (dry-run), and install with one click — supply-chain warnings are always shown and every section must be explicitly approved before anything is written.

Import from another AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, …)

Your setup — and your chat history — already live in another AI coding agent on this machine? Pick the source and DSH Config Manager translates it into a standard bundle (MCP servers, skills, global instructions, conversations and the workspaces they belong to) and hands it to the same review-first import flow: preview → per-item conflict decisions → automatic snapshot → apply → rollback. 30 sources are recognized and 29 of them can migrate chat history too. Secret values are never read — only the key names, so the import plan can ask you to re-enter them.

Go back to a moment in a conversation (rewind)

Mid-conversation realisation — "that message sent us down the wrong path, I want to start again from there"? Every user message carries ↺ rewind to here: it opens a new branch conversation from that moment and leaves the original intact (archived, never rewritten); if you want, the workspace files are reverted along with it — you see the per-file diff and line counts before anything happens. Rollback points are captured automatically per turn, so there is no manual snapshot to take.

🆚 How it differs from the other DSH backup / sync plugins

Several DSH plugins live in this space and they solve different problems — pick the one that matches your situation; they can also coexist.

Plugin	Strongest at	Where DSH Config Manager goes further
xiaoyuyu6420/dsh-backup	One-command `~/.dsh` snapshots from the CLI, plus session doctor / upgrade snapshots / rescue console	Review-before-write GUI flow (dry-run preview, per-item conflict decisions, automatic rollback), cross-machine path remapping, encrypted credential payload, configuration marketplace
muyifc/dsh-config-sync	Export / import DSH configuration to a portable, password-encrypted file, callable from tool calls	13–14 sections (plugins / MCP / skills / workspaces / session logs …), scheduled backups, four sync channels (Git / WebDAV / object storage / Gist), session migration with path rebase
dickpy/dsh-cloud-sync · weibaohui/dsh-sync	Keeping machines consistent through WebDAV / S3 or a private Git mirror	Sync is one of five capabilities here — alongside export/import, scheduling, marketplace and profile instance launch/stop
`cp -r ~/.dsh` (or Git on the home dir)	Free, zero setup, fine for a purely textual config	No secret handling, no path remapping, no capture of `link:` / `file:` plugin installs, no session-log work, no conflict handling or rollback

Short version: for a one-command snapshot of everything, dsh-backup is excellent. If what you want is move this working environment to another machine — and keep it in sync — with a review step before anything is written, that is exactly what this plugin is for.

🔄 How it works?

Export (pack it up)

Read your config → strip secrets (safe) → build manifest → compute checksums → pack into ZIP

Import (restore the environment)

Every step confirms and backs up first — it never modifies your config directly:

Select ZIP → validate file → check integrity → check schema → compatibility check
    → scan contents → build import plan → migration consult (verdict + evidence)
    → choose what to import → per-item conflict decisions → path mapping / secrets re-entry
    → confirm import → auto-backup current config → apply → validate → done
                      │
                      └─ failed midway? → automatically restored (rollback, can be switched off on the confirm page)

Rewind (go back to a moment in a conversation)

One rollback point is captured automatically per turn (its workspace state is the one from before that turn), so you can always go back to that moment:

Click "↺ rewind" on a user message → preview which files change and how many lines
    → confirm → a new branch conversation continues from that moment, the original is archived
    → rewound too far? the "rescue point" captured before the rewind can undo it

📥 Installation

It's a standard DSH plugin — two steps:

# ① Install the plugin
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-config-manager@latest

# ② Restart DSH (a "Backup & Migration" entry appears in Settings)

💡 Just copy-paste the command: @latest ensures you get the newest build.

🐛 If @latest installed an old version: that's pnpm's minimumReleaseAge supply-chain policy (not a cache issue). The gate is evaluated per version, at resolution time: a release younger than the threshold (~30 days) stays invisible to @latest until it ages past it — and the clock restarts for every future release. Installing an exact version once fixes that one version only; the next release published is invisible to @latest again. It is not a one-time fix.

Permanent fix (recommended) — exempt this single package from the age gate. Add to the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml (~/.dsh/profiles/web/pnpm-workspace.yaml):
minimumReleaseAgeExclude:
  - dsh-config-manager
After that @latest resolves the newest release normally — including every future release.

One-off fix — ask npm which version is actually latest and install exactly that. Repeat it each time a newer version has been published:
# Windows (PowerShell)
$v = (npm view dsh-config-manager version).Trim(); dsh plugin --profile web add "dsh-config-manager@$v"
# macOS / Linux
dsh plugin --profile web add "dsh-config-manager@$(npm view dsh-config-manager version)"
After restarting DSH, Settings → Backup & Migration → the About icon at the top right shows the version you are actually running (and pops up the release notes whenever it changes).
Or disable the age gate entirely with a one-liner (adds minimumReleaseAge: 0 at the top of the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml):
$f = "$env:USERPROFILE\.dsh\profiles\web\pnpm-workspace.yaml"
$c = Get-Content $f -Raw
if ($c -notmatch '(?m)^minimumReleaseAge:') {
  Set-Content -LiteralPath $f -Value ("minimumReleaseAge: 0`n" + $c) -Encoding utf8
  Write-Output "Added minimumReleaseAge: 0"
} else {
  Write-Output "Already present, nothing to do"
}
🐛 Install rejected for a version you never installed? Symptom: pnpm logs + dsh-config-manager ^0.1.66, yet DSH reports Plugin [email protected] is incompatible with dsh … and rolls the install back.

The cause is neither pnpm nor version resolution. After installing, DSH runs a compatibility check that reads this plugin's mount row () and — and Node's resolution chain honours . If your global npm root () still holds an (for example a of 0.1.44 from earlier), the check compares copy's and reports a version pnpm never installed.

Installing from the GitHub source (`git+https://...`)

When installed from a git source, pnpm first runs this package's prepare script (= npm run build) inside that clone to produce lib/ — npm ships a prebuilt lib/, a git install builds it on the spot. pnpm 11 blocks that script by default, so the install fails with dsh: plugin command failed and this in the log:

ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED  Failed to prepare git-hosted package ...
The git-hosted package "[email protected]" needs to execute build scripts
but is not in the "allowBuilds" allowlist.

Fix: copy the exact line pnpm prints (it includes the full git URL and commit sha) into the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml:

# ~/.dsh/profiles/web/pnpm-workspace.yaml
allowBuilds:
  dsh-config-manager@git+https://github.com/xiajiajun516/dsh-config-manager.git#<sha printed by pnpm>: true

The key must be copied verbatim — the bare package name dsh-config-manager does not work (the allowlist matches on source + version). The simpler path is the prebuilt npm release above (dsh-config-manager@latest), which needs no allowlist at all.

🚀 Quick start (3-minute tour)

Where things are: there are only 4 top-level pages — Home (how this machine is doing, plus the four actions Back up now / Export / Import / Remote sync), Library (local snapshots / backup files / remote snapshots / marketplace configs — every "thing" lives in this one list), Sync (four channel cards: Git / WebDAV / object storage / Gist) and Environment (Profiles / Maintenance & Diagnostics). Export, import, browse market and publish to market are flow panels: open them from the Home toolbar or the Library footer, switch pages to collapse, switch back to continue. The four icons at the top right are the ⌘K command palette, activity, migration history and About.

Machine A (export)
  1. Open DSH → Settings → "Backup & Migration" → Home
  2. Click "Export" in the toolbar → the recommended sections are already ticked (change them via "Choose what to export")
  3. Click "Start export" → the ZIP is downloaded automatically as dsh-config-<date>-<random>.zip (the report confirms no secrets inside)

Copy the ZIP to Machine B (import)
  1. Open DSH → "Backup & Migration" → click "Import" on Home (or "Import from file" in the Library footer)
  2. Select the ZIP → wait for analysis → read the migration consult verdict and evidence → "Next: choose what to import"
  3. Tick the content you want (anything unticked is neither imported nor snapshotted)
  4. Path issues? → fill in new paths under "Path mapping" (batch prefix mapping supported)
  5. Conflicts? → pick "Keep current / Use backup" per item (bulk buttons included)
  6. "Confirm import" → wait (a safety snapshot is taken first; "roll back everything on failure" can be switched off on the confirm page)
  7. Re-enter any missing API Keys as prompted
  8. ✅ Settings / plugins / MCP / skills / workspace / global instructions (AGENTS.md) are back

🧩 Features

📤 Export (one flow + a content picker)

Open the Export flow panel (Home toolbar → "Export", or the Library footer → "Manual export") and do it on one screen:

Area	Description
Choose what to export	Opens the content picker: section → smallest splittable unit, ticked item by item; the recommended sections (portable, not device-specific) are pre-ticked and can be changed any time
Security options	Two independent switches: "Encrypt backup" (scrypt + AES-256-GCM) and "Export secrets"; ticking Export secrets auto-enables encryption (secrets are never plaintext)
File name & note	Your own file name plus a note (the note makes it findable in the Library); illegal characters are pointed out right at the field
What will be exported	An always-visible composition card: every section that will really go in, its item count and total size; unreadable sections say "loading / read failed" instead of a fake 0
Result	On completion the ZIP is downloaded automatically to your browser's download folder (the report offers it again); the report lists sections and warnings item by item

Export is read-only — it writes no configuration. The file carries a manifest + per-section data + SHA-256 checksums and defaults to dsh-config-<date>-<6 random chars>.zip (a name clash increments instead of overwriting an existing backup).

Export extras:

Preview before export — see what will be packaged (section count + estimated size, no secrets) before anything is written
Custom file name & note — name the ZIP yourself (auto-naming is the default) and attach an optional note that shows in the Backup Files list (the note travels with the self section when you sync/backup the config)

📥 Import (safe flow)

Nothing is written before confirmation — analyze & preview are zero-write
Backup before applying — the target config is snapshotted automatically
Automatic rollback on failure — full rollback or skip-and-continue, your choice
Next-steps checklist after import — the result page lists what needs a DSH restart (per plugin/MCP), credentials to re-enter, and failed/skipped items you can retry

👀 Import Preview (dry run)

Shown fully before importing:

✓ 18 settings will be updated    ✓ 6 plugins already installed
⚠ 2 plugins need installation    ⚠ 3 secrets need re-entry
⚠ 1 path needs mapping           ⚠ 2 conflicts need attention

⚔️ Conflict handling

When the target already has a same-named item, you choose:

Option	Meaning
Keep current	Leave the target's config untouched
Use backup	Overwrite with the backup's value

There are also two bulk buttons at the top of the list ("Keep all current" / "Use all from backup").

Note: a "decide later / review" option is intentionally not offered — an undecided conflict would block the import from proceeding. Every conflict must be resolved before continuing.

🗺️ Path mapping

C:\Users\alice\projects doesn't exist on the new machine? The plugin:

Detects the dead absolute paths automatically
Lets you pick new paths
Supports batch prefix mapping (C:\Users\alice\ → /Users/bob/ in one shot)

🧳 Import from other AI agents (config + chat history)

You do not have to rebuild another agent's setup by hand.

30 sources recognized — Claude Code, Hermes, Cursor, Codex, Antigravity, Gemini, OpenCode, Mimocode, ZCode, Grok Build, OpenClaw, Pi, Kimi, Kilocode, Qoder, ChatGPT, WorkBuddy, Qwen, Continue, Cline, Goose, Zed, Crush, TeleAgent, Trae, Vibe, Reasonix, Copilot, and DSH itself (importing from another DSH home — its v3 and v4 logs count as two ids). Sources not installed on this machine are still listed (greyed out, not selectable), so "this machine has no such tool" is never mistaken for "the feature is missing".
Translation, not a second import path — the source is converted into a standard bundle v1 ZIP and handed to the existing import wizard: same preview, same per-item conflict decisions, same pre-import snapshot and rollback, same dry-run.
What travels — MCP servers, skills, global instructions (as AGENTS.md), and chat history together with the workspaces those conversations belong to (29 sources; conversations are re-encoded into DSH's session-log format and placed by their recorded cwd).
What does not — secret values are never read: only the key names are recorded so the plan can ask you to re-enter them. Structures DSH has no equivalent for (Claude Code hooks, slash commands, …) are reported as explicit codes rather than silently dropped.
Honest skips — a conversation with no recorded cwd cannot be placed and is reported as skipped (never guessed into some other project); known lossy items are listed before the import runs.
Entry points — Home toolbar → "Import" → "Import from another agent" (Home also has a direct entry), the ⌘K command, or the CLI: dcm import --from <source> [--dry-run] [--out <path>].

🔒 Secrets

Scenario	Behavior
Default backup	No secret values at all — only records which keys are needed
Encrypted backup (explicit opt-in)	scrypt + AES-256-GCM, random salt & IV per export; secrets never leave as plaintext, and the password is never written to the file
Encrypted backup import	The export-time password is required: enter → verify → credentials are restored; no password, no import
After non-encrypted import	"3 secrets need re-entry" — values stay in memory only

🔄 Remote Sync (four channels)

The Sync page renders one card per channel, all four always visible (unconfigured ones are a short state with the configure button inside) — Git private repo / WebDAV server / object storage (S3-compatible: AWS S3, Alibaba OSS, Tencent COS, MinIO, Qiniu Kodo) / GitHub Gist:

Channel	Endpoint (non-secret fields)	Credentials (DSH credentials only, never read back)
Git private repo	`repoUrl` (pick from the private repos the current token can see, or create a new private one inline)	access token → `DSH_CONFIG_MANAGER_SYNC_TOKEN`
WebDAV	`webdav.url`	`username` stored in the config (echoed in the UI); password never synced / never logged → `DSH_CONFIG_MANAGER_SYNC_WEBDAV_PASSWORD`
Object storage (S3-compatible)	endpoint / region / bucket / object key prefix / AccessKey ID (an identifier, may be echoed)	AccessKey Secret → that channel's own credential slot (the sync file keeps only a "configured" marker)
GitHub Gist	gist id / API base / file prefix	Gist token → that channel's own credential slot

Every channel is configured on its own: sync sections, auto sync (switch + fallback poll interval), encryption and "Export secrets", remote snapshots and the encrypt/decrypt passwords are all per channel, inside that channel's own card (configured cards collapse, so four expanded cards cannot overflow the canvas).
Remote retention follows your backup schedule: by default the newest 10 snapshots, plus optional "one per month / one per year" tiers — and the snapshot you just pushed is always kept; older ones are deleted automatically.
Switching channels starts fresh: channels do not share snapshots or a common ancestor. When you switch transport (or reconfigure one), sync begins again from the new remote's empty baseline — push a fresh snapshot first.
Changing a Git repository address just works — and the working copy has a repair entry: the working copy under <dataDir>/sync/work re-points its origin (fetch and push URL) at the configured repoUrl on every sync (zero write commands when they already match), so switching between two reachable addresses of the same repository (LAN → VPN/Tailscale, host rename…) no longer leaves sync talking to the old address — the failure used to look like a plain network timeout. The Git card shows the working copy's path and origin plus a warn badge when it still points elsewhere, and offers "re-point repository address" (non-destructive) and "clone working copy again" (deletes <dataDir>/sync/work and re-clones — discards commits that were never pushed, hence the danger confirmation). SSH host-key failures and "the remote is not the same history" now come with actionable messages instead of raw git stderr.
WebDAV auth uses HTTP Basic: the username is stored in the config and may be echoed back into the UI, while the password is read live from the DSH credentials slot DSH_CONFIG_MANAGER_SYNC_WEBDAV_PASSWORD — it never appears in any sync file or log.
Plugins auto-install: when pulling diffs, plugins that are new in the backup are installed automatically on confirm — no manual per-item ticking in the diff list. Only version-conflict plugins still ask you to pick "Keep current / Use backup".
Push preview before uploading — the Push button first shows a read-only preview of what will be sent (sections + per-section counts + changed-vs-baseline markers, first-baseline notice) and only writes the remote after you confirm.
Secrets do not sync by default: every section goes through the (sensitive field values stripped) and the credential section is structurally excluded. With "Export secrets" checked and an encryption password set, travels as scrypt + AES-256-GCM ciphertext in a of the encrypted snapshot (never inside any section); the receiving side decrypts it into per-ref "credential migration" items that are written back to the local credential store () only after you confirm. The encryption/decryption password is kept in a dedicated local DSH credential slot (): it is remembered once "Encrypt backup" is checked (leave the fields empty to reuse it) and cleared when you uncheck it or press "Delete saved password" — never written to sync files, responses, logs or the exported backup, and never sent back to the browser. The decryption password is only ever used when the pulled snapshot is actually encrypted. (it has no password and skips encrypted snapshots).

🛒 Configuration Marketplace

Browse and install ready-made configurations (model providers, plugins, MCP servers, skills, agent presets…) shared by the community. The entry point is the Library footer ("Browse market / Publish to market") (or ⌘K) — it is a flow panel, not a top-level page:

Built-in official market — read-only, bound to the official public repo (official badge shown, not editable); first open auto-refreshes, manual refresh also available
Search & filter — keyword search (matches name / description / author / categories), category filter, section filter (items already downloaded list their sections; others are excluded with a hint), source filter (Official / Community), sorting (recently updated / most starred / name A–Z), and a ⭐ badge showing the source repo's star count (queried anonymously, no token involved)
Impact preview — the detail view shows "what installing this will change" (items updated / identical / conflicts / secrets to re-enter / DSH restart needed) before you approve anything
Supply-chain warnings always shown — source repo URL, "not officially reviewed", download time; per-item content selection — the selection step lists what each item will change and flags high-risk sections in place (selected by default; unchecking excludes them from the import and the snapshot); high-risk content (sessions / arbitrary files) is still banned from listing outright
Install reuses the safe import pipeline — analyze → preview → auto-backup → apply → rollback; nothing is written before you confirm
"My Configs" — sign in with GitHub (device flow), upload a config to your own public repo in one click, and an auto listing PR is opened against the official market repo; manage your listings (status badges: not listed / PR pending / listed), update in one click, install back locally, or delist (auto de-listing PR)

🗂️ Profiles (= DSH's own profiles)

A "profile" here is DSH's own profile ($DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>) — one plugin stack (bundles) + dependencies + patch layer, launched with dsh --profile <name>. Environment → Profiles reads and writes that directory directly instead of keeping its own config snapshots:

Action	What it does
List / details	Bundle layers, dependencies, patch entries and size, patchReload, node_modules, mtime; details show the raw `package.json` and `cordis.patch.yml` (redacted before display)
Create	Writes the standard three files under `$DSH_HOME/profiles/<name>` (equivalent to the shipped `initProfile`); starting templates: base / web / headless / sdk / sdk-minimal / acp
Rename	Directory move + fixes the manifest name field; the running profile is refused
Delete	Hard-deletes the whole directory (including node_modules); deleting the running profile needs an extra checkbox
Launch this profile	The switch that actually works: starts an independent DSH instance for that profile (free port picked automatically, browser opened automatically); the running instance and its tasks are untouched. Web-shaped profiles only — non-web ones (e.g. the base template) have no browser UI, so the page shows the terminal command instead of failing silently
Stop instance	While that profile has a running instance, the row button flips from Launch to Stop (the Runtime card also offers one); it asks the process to exit first (grace period) and terminates the process tree only after that, reporting which path was used. Deleting a profile with a running instance is refused
No duplicate launches	“Which profiles are running” = the ledger of instances this plugin started ∪ each instance's own heartbeat (`<dataDir>/running/<profile>.json`, pid/port only — never the auth token). So even a profile you started by hand with `dsh web` will not be launched a second time (you get a clear “already running” message); the instance you are using right now offers no Stop button (that would kill your own session — close that window/terminal, or stop it from the instance that launched it)

Why there is no "set as next launch" (button and marker removed in 2026-09): DSH has no "default / next launch profile" state — the profile comes only from the launch arguments (dsh <name> / --profile <name>; dsh web is a hard-coded alias), so any "which profile to use next" marker has no consumer at all: the dsh web you type yourself still boots web after a restart. Only two mechanisms really switch profiles: ① the Profiles view's "launch this profile" (an extra instance, no interruption, stoppable at any time), ② pointing your launch command/shortcut at dsh --profile <name> (ecosystem tools such as dshm and DSH Launcher all spawn instances from an external launcher). Instances started by this plugin are recorded in <dataDir>/launches.json (pid/port/log), which is why they can be stopped; third-party plugins must be installed into that profile separately (dsh plugin --profile <name> add <pkg>). The view lives at Settings → "Backup & Migration" → Environment → Profiles.

↺ Rewind (go back to a moment)

Every user message in the chat carries a "↺ rewind to here" — no trip to Settings, and nothing to export first:

Action	What it does
Back to that moment	Continue from before that message: the plugin opens a new branch conversation to take over while the original is archived intact (its content is never rewritten; the conversation list shows only the rewound one)
Conversation only / files too	By default only the conversation is rewound; tick "revert workspace files too" to touch the disk, and you get a per-file diff with line counts first
Rewind preview	States up front how many files change, how many lines are added or removed and how many are deleted; clicking a file name shows its "now → after rewind" diff (the same screen appears in the settings rollback panel and in the chat bubble)
Automatic rescue points	A protective point is captured before every rewind so a wrong rewind can be undone; 20 per conversation / 50 globally, oldest dropped first
Rollback ledger	Environment → Maintenance & Diagnostics → "View rollback points" opens the rollback ledger dialog: every rewindable moment grouped by conversation with real titles, removable one by one

Capture is automatic: one point (workspace + conversation) is recorded per turn — its workspace state is the one from before that turn — and there is no manual "take a snapshot" step. Points live under $DSH_HOME/dsh-config-manager/rollback-points/; pre-upgrade three-state checkpoint data stays on disk, is no longer read, and is never deleted by the plugin.

Skip directories you choose: drop a .dsh-rollback-ignore file in the project (the usual .gitignore subset) and capture plus rewind skip the matching directories and files (the built-in dependency directory cannot be re-included). When a whole directory is skipped, deleting files created after that point is refused outright rather than done partially.

Two honest boundaries: ① while a conversation is running, only the conversation is rewound by default, never the files (the plugin will not race a running tool for the disk) — reopen the dialog after the turn finishes to revert files too; ② when a point's capture is incomplete the plugin never guesses — only files it can prove did not exist at capture time are deleted, otherwise nothing is deleted and it says so.

Straight from the chat: type /rollback to list this conversation's rewindable moments, then run it again with one of those ids to rewind without leaving the chat.

📸 Snapshot restore (undo an import)

Every import creates a safety snapshot first. If something feels off afterwards, restore the target back to its pre-import state:

Action	What it does
Whole-file restore	settings.yaml / settings.json / cordis.patch.yml blobs are written back to `$DSH_HOME`; files that didn't exist at snapshot time but appeared after import are removed
Plugin uninstall	Plugins added during import are removed via the official `dsh plugin remove` (baseline comparison; old snapshots without a baseline only get a hint)
File compensation	skills / agentPresets / agentInstructions / pluginFiles / pluginData / pluginAssets / sessions blobs are written back to their original paths
Credentials	DSH never reads credential values back — you get a manual re-entry hint instead

GUI: Library → switch the source filter to "Local snapshots" → the row's ⋯ menu → "Restore" → review the plan (dry-run, zero writes; a git-style line-by-line comparison) → confirm. The same menu offers "Inspect & compare / Migration consult / Pin / Delete", depending on what that row is.

Snapshot management:

Retention is visible — how many snapshots are kept is up to your retention policy (Home → Scheduled backup card; the default keeps the newest 10); the hint is shown in the list
Pin important snapshots — a pinned snapshot is exempt from auto-pruning and can only be deleted manually
Manual delete — remove any snapshot (danger, confirmed) when you no longer need that rollback point

Backup files (Library → "Backup files" source):

Every export ZIP in exports/ (manual + scheduled) with its source badge, size, time and your note
Search by file name or note
Inspect / Compare — read-only preview of what the backup contains (sections + per-section counts) and the diff against your current config (zero writes) before deciding to import
Download, import straight back, delete

Disk usage (Environment → Maintenance & Diagnostics): the "Disk usage" card lists what this plugin itself occupies (exports, pre-import snapshots, sync config and working copies, marketplace cache, temp staging, logs, transaction log, …) and labels each item's cleanup policy: regenerated on demand (caches/staging), retained (exports for 7 days, scheduled backups keep the latest N), or your data / safety net (snapshots and sync — never auto-cleaned). "Clean now" clears only regenerable caches by default; reclaiming expired backups is an explicit opt-in with a confirmation. Snapshots and sync data are never touched, and unreadable directories are reported as "not measured" instead of a misleading 0 bytes.

🚨 CLI — the first line of defense when DSH is broken

The GUI lives inside DSH — it can't help you if DSH won't start. The dsh-config-manager CLI is completely independent of the DSH runtime (pure Node + the core engine, zero @deepseek-ai/* imports — it runs even when the DSH peer packages are broken or missing). That makes it your first rescue tool when the config is corrupted, the GUI won't boot, or you changed machines and need to bring an environment back.

It is a standalone npm tool, installed separately from the plugin. Install it once on any machine that might need rescuing:

# --omit=peer: the offline CLI only needs js-yaml, not the DSH peer packages
npm install -g dsh-config-manager@latest --omit=peer

⚠️ Installing/updating the plugin (dsh plugin --profile web add ...) only enables the GUI — it does not create the dsh-config-manager command. Run the install command above, then any of the commands below.

All commands (also shown by dsh-config-manager help, which groups them by risk; dsh-config-manager <command> --help prints one command's options, exit codes and examples):

# Rescue console (local web page — the least typing)
dsh-config-manager web [--port <n>] [--no-open] [--home <dir>]
                       [--data-root <dir>] [--idle-timeout <min>]

# Inspect (never touches your config)
dsh-config-manager snapshots [--data-dir <dir>]                # list snapshots (newest first)
dsh-config-manager verify [<file|path>] [--json]               # read-only check of backup ZIPs

                             [--wipe-config] [--dry-run] [--data-root <dir>]

dsh-config-manager help [command]                              # overview / one command's detail

reinstall — rescue when DSH is broken. It reinstalls the @deepseek-ai/dsh launcher across platforms (uses the right command per OS: PowerShell on Windows, bash on Unix). By default it reinstalls the launcher + clears global caches; interactively it asks which dangerous clean-up items to include (settings / plugins / session data & credentials) — those are not selected by default, and any destructive choice requires a second confirmation by typing YES before anything runs. Before wiping any ~/.dsh data it makes an emergency backup at .reinstall-backup (the snapshots/ folder is deliberately never touched).

# see the selectable clean-up items
dsh-config-manager reinstall --list

# interactive: pick items, confirm, then reinstall DSH
dsh-config-manager reinstall

# non-interactive: everything checked, skip confirmation
dsh-config-manager reinstall --yes

# wipe config data too (equivalent to checking all data items) — interactive confirm still required
dsh-config-manager reinstall --wipe-config

# preview the exact plan without running anything
dsh-config-manager reinstall --dry-run

Snapshot restore. List and restore the safety snapshots (offline — the restore engine is part of the CLI, so it works whether or not DSH can start):

dsh-config-manager snapshots                                  # list snapshots (newest first)
dsh-config-manager restore --dry-run                          # preview the plan (zero writes)
dsh-config-manager restore --id <snapshot-id>                 # execute (current files are backed up first)

Every overwrite/delete is first copied to <snapshotDir>/pre-restore/ so you can manually change your mind. Exit code is 1 if any action failed; the report honestly lists restored / removedPlugins / manualHints / failed / skipped.

verify — is that old backup still usable? The GUI lives inside DSH, so it cannot answer this when DSH will not start; verify can. It re-reads a backup ZIP from disk without writing a single byte, then reports one verdict per file:

Verdict	Meaning
`OK`	Structurally valid and every entry matches its SHA-256 in `integrity/checksums.json`
`MISSING`	The file is not there (wrong path / already deleted)
`CORRUPT`	Damaged or tampered — the message names the exact offending entry
`UNSUPPORTED`	A valid backup this plugin version cannot read (schema too new, or an encrypted container that must be decrypted first)
`VERIFY_ERROR`	The check itself failed (disk I/O); never downgraded to a guess

With no argument it checks every *.zip in the exports directory; pass a file name or a path to check just one. Exit code is 1 unless all checked backups are OK — which makes it safe to assert from CI or a scheduled task. --json prints the same result machine-readably.

dsh-config-manager verify                # check every backup in the exports directory
dsh-config-manager verify --json         # machine-readable (exit code still 0/1)
dsh-config-manager verify my-backup.zip  # check a single file by name
dsh-config-manager verify C:/backups/dsh-config.zip   # ...or by path

backup — backup even when DSH is down. This is the offline counterpart of the GUI export: it packs the parts of $DSH_HOME that can be read without the DSH runtime (skills, agent presets, agent instructions, and the plugin’s own config) into a ZIP with the same structure as a GUI export (manifest.json + integrity/checksums.json + section directories), then immediately self-checks what it wrote with the same engine as verify — a backup command that never verified its own output would be worse than none.

Credential files never enter a backup. .credentials.*, .env, *.pem and friends are excluded by an explicit blacklist, only whitelisted directories are walked (never the whole home directory), and symlinks are skipped rather than followed.

Offline backup only covers on-disk skills. Skills that live in the plugin registry (the ones the shell loads from a profile's plugin packages — see issue #71) need the DSH runtime to enumerate, so only the GUI export (or a scheduled backup while DSH is healthy) can include them; the CLI backup collects just the files under $DSH_HOME/skills. For a complete skills backup, use the GUI export while DSH is healthy.

Structured sections (settings / UI / providers / plugins / MCP / prompts / workspaces) are not silently faked: they need the DSH service layer to read and redact, so they are left out and marked false in the manifest — the plan printout lists them under “not offline-collectable” so you know exactly what this backup does and does not contain. Use the GUI export when DSH is healthy for a full backup.

dsh-config-manager backup --dry-run                       # list what would be packed (zero writes)
dsh-config-manager backup                                 # write into the exports directory, then self-check
dsh-config-manager backup --out D:/rescue/config.zip      # explicit destination (never overwrites)
dsh-config-manager backup --sections skills,self          # narrow the scope

--sections accepts skills,agentPresets,agentInstructions,self,pluginFiles (third-party plugin data — pluginData / pluginAssets — is not available to the offline CLI backup; naming it explicitly points you to the GUI export/import). pluginFiles is opt-in (as in the GUI): it copies third-party plugin files verbatim, and dsh-ssh.json holds plaintext host passwords — select it only when you have looked at what is in there.

A typical rescue flow when DSH won't start: ① dsh-config-manager reinstall to bring the launcher back (plus any clean-up), ② if DSH reports a session-log error (corrupt session log / duplicate JSONL session id), run dsh-config-manager sessions repair --fix — it repairs the log layout offline, ③ dsh web to start DSH again, ④ re-add the plugin from the registry, and ⑤ pull a snapshot from the remote repo (or run dsh-config-manager restore) to bring your config back. The CLI works at every step regardless of DSH's health.

recover-stale-lock — when every operation suddenly fails. Before touching your config, the plugin claims a small environment lock (it records who is operating plus a heartbeat) so that two operations can never write your config at the same time. If a dsh web process is force-killed (Task Manager, kill -9), the lock file survives with a dead owner: the next operation is refused, and it stays refused no matter how often you retry or restart DSH — because the plugin deliberately never removes a lock on its own (a wrong guess could evict a live operation).

Symptoms and the fix:

Symptom	Meaning	Fix
「另一个任务正在运行，请稍后重试。」 / "Another task is running, please retry."	A live operation holds the lock	Just wait — it clears itself
「检测到上次异常退出残留的配置锁…重试或重启 DSH 均无效」 / relayed in the log as `自动同步已跳过`	The owner process is proven dead (leftover lock)	Run the command below, or use GUI Recovery → 事故恢复 → 回收残留锁
Same message, but the owner PID was reused by an unrelated process (common on Windows)	The heartbeat has been stale for a very long time, so the lock is still classified as a leftover one	Same fix — a heartbeat that has not been refreshed for far longer than the stale window is now reclaimable

# safe: it inspects first and refuses unless the owner is proven dead (a live lock is never touched)
dsh-config-manager recover-stale-lock

sessions repair — when DSH refuses to start over a session log. DSH validates that each session log sits exactly where its own header says it belongs: corrupt session log … header id and cwd identify …, or duplicate JSONL session id … in multiple project directories. The plugin cannot help at that point (it only loads inside DSH), so this is the one repair path that works while DSH is down. It reads every session's first-frame cwd and moves the session directory under projectKeyOf(cwd) — the location DSH expects, derived from the log itself, never guessed.

Dry run by default (zero writes); --fix performs the moves. Exit code: dry runs always 0, --fix returns 1 if anything failed, conflicted or rolled back.
--map old=new (repeatable) is for cross-machine restores: a matching prefix rewrites the first-frame cwd before relocating the directory (every other frame is copied byte for byte). Targets that already exist are never overwritten.
--keep <dir> resolves duplicate ids: the copy you name is kept, the others are moved into sessions/.cm-repair-quarantine-<timestamp>/ — moved, never deleted. Without --keep duplicates are reported only.

# see what would move (no writes at all)
dsh-config-manager sessions repair
# apply, mapping a source-machine prefix onto this machine
dsh-config-manager sessions repair --fix --map 'C:/Users/alice=D:/Work'

If the two machines use different DSH base paths (e.g. /opt/dsh/.dsh vs a Windows drive path), the backup records the source base path and the import rebases automatically every path that lives under it (session cwd, workspace path, …) onto your local one — no mapping to type. User mappings still apply afterwards, so you can override anything.

In the content picker, selecting sessions also selects the workspaces that own them (and unchecking a workspace unchecks its sessions).

Cross-machine restores need no extra step in the GUI: exporting sessions now carries the workspaces that own them, and the path mapping you fill in the import wizard rewrites both the workspace paths and the sessions' first-frame cwd (relocating the directories accordingly) before the sessions are attached to those workspaces.

Plugins installed but the backup doesn't see them? Check Settings → Backup & Migration → the About icon at the top right: it shows which directory / profile the plugin list was read from, and how many plugins were detected. The list comes from $DSH_HOME/profiles/<profile>/package.json → dependencies (plus anything declared in dsh.profile.bundles that is not a dependency), where <profile> is resolved as config.profile → --profile → web. If the shown path is not the profile you installed into (Desktop builds may use a different profile or a different DSH_HOME), that is the cause — align --profile / DSH_HOME with it.

web — the offline rescue console (for when you would rather click than type). It starts a small web page bound to 127.0.0.1 only and lays out the same diagnostics and rescue actions in a browser:

dsh-config-manager web            # starts it and opens your browser (the terminal prints a one-time token URL)

Read-only: running instances / SAFE MODE / leftover lock / snapshots / exported backups (with one-click verification) / disk usage / session health / profiles and their instances.
Write actions (each needs an explicit confirmation in the page, and every one calls the same implementation as the CLI): ① relocate misplaced sessions ② clear rebuildable caches and expired exports ③ reclaim a stale environment lock ④ start/stop a profile's standalone instance ⑤ unlock an encrypted backup (decrypted in memory, lists entries only — never written to disk) ⑥ restore a snapshot (see the per-item plan first, zero writes; restoring copies current files to <snapshot>/pre-restore/ first) ⑦ offline export (file-based sections, self-checked right after writing) ⑧ reinstall DSH (uninstall + reinstall the global CLI; requires a 6-character code printed only in the terminal).
Safety: loopback-only binding; a one-time token printed to your terminal is exchanged for an HttpOnly + SameSite=Strict session cookie; the page has no scripts and no external resources. Ctrl+C or the idle timeout (30 minutes by default) shuts it down.
Preconditions: session relocation and restore need DSH stopped; with an unresolved SAFE MODE transaction or a leftover environment lock every write action is refused (the page says why). Import (writing a bundle back into this machine) stays on the GUI/CLI — structural sections need live DSH services.

🌐 Behind a proxy? (GitHub login / sync)

Node's built-in fetch() does not read HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY by default, so on networks where GitHub is only reachable through a local proxy, "Sign in with GitHub" would previously fail with 请求 GitHub 设备码失败：fetch failed even though your browser and git work fine.

The plugin now routes its own outbound requests through your proxy automatically — just make sure the proxy environment variables are visible to the DSH process:

# macOS / Linux — before starting dsh
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:7897
export NO_PROXY=localhost,127.0.0.1
dsh web

# Windows PowerShell
$env:HTTPS_PROXY='http://127.0.0.1:7897'; dsh web

How it behaves:

Covers all plugin egress: GitHub API + device-flow login (fetch) and WebDAV sync (native http/https), including CONNECT tunnelling for https targets;
Zero impact when you have no proxy configured — no proxy variables means no behaviour change at all;
NO_PROXY is respected (*, exact host, example.com suffix, optional :port);
DSH_CONFIG_MANAGER_PROXY=off forces direct connections even when proxy variables exist;
Proxy credentials in the URL (if any) are used only for Proxy-Authorization and never logged; the startup log prints a redacted proxy summary so you can confirm whether routing is active;
This is plugin-private: it never changes global/process-wide network settings (unlike NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY, which affects the whole host process including model API calls).

Alternative (host-wide): set NODE_USE_ENV_PROXY=1 before starting DSH (Node 24+); note this also routes the host's own outbound traffic, not just this plugin's.

🤖 Agent tools (for AI assistants)

The plugin also registers 5 model tools that an AI agent (a DSH assistant session) can call directly — the same backup / snapshot / sync engines, no GUI needed:

Tool	What it does
`config_backup`	Full backup of DSH config to the local `exports` dir — no secrets by default; pass `password` for an encrypted backup. Returns ZIP name / size / included sections / encryption state
`config_list_snapshots`	List local rollback snapshots (id / created / source / status / entry count) for use with `config_restore`
`config_restore`	Restore to a snapshot. Default is a zero-write plan preview; pass `confirm: true` to actually execute (overwrites / deletes `$DSH_HOME` files and uninstalls plugins added during import — destructive, always preview first)
`config_sync_push`	Push config sync to the remote (Git / WebDAV) using the persisted channel config. Writing the remote is an explicit action; encryption / credentials require `password` and the engine forces `encrypt`
`config_sync_pull`	Pull a remote diff preview (zero-write: download + analyze only). Landing the diff requires the separate confirm-import pipeline

Once the plugin is installed the tools appear automatically in every agent session (hosts without an agent tools service silently skip registration). The agent calls them when the task matches — e.g. "back up my config", "what snapshots do I have", "restore to that snapshot", "sync to my repo" or "show me the remote diff". Safety invariants are built in: config_restore is dry-run by default, config_sync_pull never writes, config_sync_push is an explicit remote write, and secret values never enter tool inputs / outputs / logs.

🛡️ Security

The default backup contains no secret values — a hard invariant, enforced at export
Not exported by default: API Keys / passwords / tokens / cookies / sessions / device unique ID / logs & cache / plugin binaries
A ZIP is untrusted input: defends against Zip Slip, malicious paths, zip bombs, corrupt archives — any trigger rejects the whole file
Logs are fully redacted — secret values never reach logs
Encrypted backup (explicit opt-in): secrets are exported only as scrypt + AES-256-GCM ciphertext — random salt & IV per export, never plaintext; the password lives in memory only

🤝 Compatibility

Status	Meaning
✅ Excellent	Same platform, complete sections, supported schema
👍 Good	Backup from an older DSH
⚠️ Partial	Cross-platform / missing sections / backup newer than target
❌ Unsupported	Schema beyond the supported range (cannot import)

❓ FAQ

Q: Will my API Key be in the backup? Not by default. The default backup never contains any secret value — only records which keys you'll need to re-enter. If you explicitly choose an encrypted backup, secrets are included, but only as scrypt + AES-256-GCM ciphertext (random salt & IV per export) — never plaintext.

Q: Will importing overwrite my existing config? Not silently. Conflicts ask you to choose per item (Keep current / Use backup, with bulk buttons); the target is auto-snapshotted first and can roll back.

Q: Does it work across platforms (Windows → macOS)? Yes. Dead absolute paths are detected and remapped (batch replacement supported).

Q: Can a corrupted ZIP still be imported? No. A checksum mismatch rejects the import outright (protects against corruption or tampering).

Q: Will re-importing duplicate things? No. Items are matched by stable IDs (plugin ID / MCP name / skill name…): identical ones are skipped, and ones that differ from the target surface as conflicts you decide (Keep current / Use backup) — nothing is overwritten silently.

Q: Why is the console quiet after dsh web — how do I get the plugin logs back? By design. Routine progress logs (mount banner, scheduler skips, export/backup completion) are emitted at info, and the shipped default level is warn — so only warnings and errors reach the terminal. Set DSH_CONFIG_MANAGER_LOG_LEVEL=info (or debug) before starting DSH to bring the verbose lines back.

Q: Does importing an encrypted backup require the password? Yes. The import wizard asks for the export-time encryption password and verifies it before the import can proceed; the password is never saved — memory only. A wrong or missing password blocks the import (credentials are restored from the backup instead of being re-entered when the password is correct).

📋 Known limitations (user-facing)

Installing / updating plugins or MCP takes effect after restarting DSH
Some UI state is not migrated (e.g. task board data, panel widths — they live in the browser, not in DSH's config files)
keybindings / workflow configs / commands — DSH has no such concepts, so nothing is exported for them. Global agent rules are covered by Agent Instructions (~/.dsh/AGENTS.md, injected into every session); per-project AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md belong to each project's repo and are not migrated
History/session migration is opt-in — DSH's own sessions are only exported/synced when you explicitly select the sessions section (the sync channel additionally needs both sides to allow it); MCP servers are the other opt-in sync section — the mcp section is platformSpecific, so it is never in the default sync set; tick MCP Servers in the sync-section dialog to carry it (auto sync follows along, but a pulled mcp change still lands in the diff review, since it is a medium-risk section). Servers whose command / cwd are absolute paths, or whose runtime (npx / uvx / pipx) is missing on the target, are reported by the import analysis — the config is written anyway; another agent's chat history is migrated when you pick that source in the foreign import. Conversation state that DSH's session format has no room for (model reasoning traces, images, compaction checkpoints) is counted and reported, never fabricated
Encrypted backups: a lost password means the secrets.enc can't be decrypted (by design — keep your password safe)
Snapshot restore is offline and honest: entries the offline engine can't restore (settings namespaces / patch lines when the snapshot has no whole-file backup, workspace records stored in DSH storages) are reported as skipped with a pointer to online rollback; credential values are never auto-written (manual re-entry hint only); old snapshots without a plugin baseline only get a hint to remove added plugins manually
Foreign-agent import has two known blanks: Copilot has no chat-history import (its session format could not be verified on this machine, so only its configuration is imported), and Cursor's per-project history is located through Cursor's own folder-slug scheme, which may not resolve for every project. Conversations already imported with an older build should be deleted and re-imported first (a second import of the same id is reported as a skipped session-id-conflict, not merged)

💬 Feedback

Found a bug, a misaligned panel, a button that does nothing — or just have an idea? All of it is welcome. UI problems especially: they are the easiest thing to overlook and the part that real usage should decide.

What you want to say	Where
🎨 UI problem: misaligned layout, broken styling, dark mode, scaling, a control that does nothing	UI issue form — screenshot + browser version is enough

✨ New feature idea	Feature request
💬 Not sure whether it is a bug — just asking	Discussions
🔒 Security issue / leaked credential	Private security advisory (please do not open a public issue)

Report straight from the plugin: Settings → Backup & Migration → the About icon at the top right → "Issues"; or hit Copy environment info there — plugin version / DSH version / platform are included, so you can paste it into the issue instead of typing version numbers.

Every report gets followed up: a new issue receives an immediate reply and the needs-triage label, and progress is visible in the labels (needs-info → confirmed → fixed). Fixed problems end up in CHANGELOG.md under the release that fixed them, tagged with the issue number (e.g. #38 / #43 / #45) — that is where a report finally lands.

⚠️ Please search for an existing issue first, and strip every API key / token / password — including the ones visible in screenshots and logs.

🙏 Contributors

lux-liang (Jialiang Liang) — PR #44: independently fixed the issue #43 "Back up now" false-success bug. Two details from that patch were more robust than the mainline implementation and have been adopted into main: (1) when failed comes back with an empty / whitespace-only error text, fall back to the generic message instead of rendering a dangling "Backup failed:"; (2) an unknown skipReason is mapped to a localized message rather than echoing the raw machine token. In addition, so that GitHub's contributor list records the contribution, commit 1248200 was landed on main through a "keep the commit, take the mainline tree" merge (122317b) — that merge takes none of its code (the resulting tree is byte-identical to the mainline) and exists purely to record authorship, so GitHub now counts this contribution instead of leaving it invisible behind a closed PR.
OMSociety — PR #66, merged as 4170af4: proposed and implemented the 36×36 frame-less icon.svg (issue #61, aligning the plugin with the official bundle convention). The report came with upstream evidence (host artwork frames of 48/36 px and 40/30 px, the official published bundle icons, the fixture SVG) and the PR shipped a 16/30/36/48 × dark/light acceptance sheet plus a written argument for keeping the proposal's palette over the plugin's brand blue.
iuuuuuuuu — PR #67 (merge 780af10), PR #68 (16e13c1) and PR #72 (6e552a0): (1) a repository picker for the git sync channel — choose from the private repositories the token can see (sorted by most recently updated; public repositories are never listed), or create a private one inline; the create request does not even carry private, so there is no way to express "public" on the client and the constraint lives on the host side. Along the way it fixed the link-traversal boundary check that mixed realpath spellings (Windows 8.3 short names and macOS /var → /private/var were misjudged outside-home, so linked content was silently dropped while the backup reported success). (2) The Overview first paint no longer waits for a full read-only preview — the section gained a (no more one per local plugin) and / are read back in one call instead of one per namespace (24 namespaces × 12 local plugins, 27.6 s of preview on a real machine). (3) The issue #71 fix — MCP servers and skills configured in the shell were not backed up at all: patch rows are now read per layer and written back to their own layer, and skills are collected through the shell's service. All three shipped with unit tests and route / source-level guards.

Maintainers & developers: start at the documentation index — architecture, module docs, ADRs and known tech debt; DEVELOPERS.md covers build, testing, auto-publishing and full technical notes.

Product principles: better to migrate one config less than to break your existing config. Every import follows Analyze → Preview → Backup → Apply → Validate → Rollback(if needed); every secret follows never export by default / never log / never expose / never silently transfer.
