dsh-session-unarchive

dsh-session-unarchive

Adds an archived-sessions view and a restore action to the dsh Web GUI.

What it does

• Shows an Archived section at the bottom of the sidebar, listing every archived session.
• Adds a Restore session menu item that unarchives a session and returns it to its original position in its workspace.
• The expanded section has a title filter (search box) that narrows the archived list as you type — the header shows matched/total while filtering.
• With many archived sessions the expanded list is internally scrollable, so a long archive never pushes the rest of the sidebar out of view.
• Works in both zh-CN and en locales.

Install

dsh plugin add github:dylan121322/dsh-session-unarchive

Activate

1. Restart dsh. The first boot applies the patches to five dsh packages and prints a notice.
2. Restart dsh once more (host files take effect after that).
3. Refresh the browser at http://127.0.0.1:3080.

Every later boot detects the patches as applied and stays quiet. The plugin is idempotent: it never re-applies or corrupts files, and it refuses to touch targets that were modified locally.

How it works

dsh 0.1.0-rc.6 archives sessions one-way: the GUI hides them from every view and offers no way back. The data is never deleted — the session id is only recorded in ~/.dsh/storages/workspace.json (global.archivedSessionIds).

The cordis patch layer can override entry properties but cannot redirect an existing plugin's implementation file, so this bundle ships file patches instead. The plugin entry (index.js) runs at boot, verifies each target against the pristine originals in originals/, and applies the diffs in patches/.

Patched packages:

Package	Change
dsh-workspace	Adds unarchiveSession() to the workspace registry.
dsh-host-apiproxy	Adds the workspace.unarchiveSession RPC end to end.
dsh-client-connection	Adds fetch mapping and fixture support.
dsh-client-runtime	Adds manager and service methods.
dsh-client-ui-workspace	Adds the archived section, restore menu, and i18n.

Manual fallback

If dsh plugin add is not an option, ./apply.sh applies the same patches directly (./apply.sh check for a dry run).

Compatibility

Targets @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6. Patches are generated against that version's build output; other versions may not apply. A dsh upgrade overwrites the patched files — re-run dsh plugin add (or ./apply.sh) after upgrading.

Verify

1. Archive any session: the Archived section appears at the bottom of the sidebar.
2. Expand it and pick Restore session from the row menu.
3. The session returns to its workspace group, the section disappears, and archivedSessionIds in ~/.dsh/storages/workspace.json no longer contains the id.
4. With several archived sessions, expand the section: a search field appears above the list — type to filter by title (the header shows matched/total), and scroll inside the list when it overflows the max-height.
