Compatibility

• DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.6 (peers pinned to 0.1.0-rc.6).
• Node ^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0, ESM only ("type": "module").
• Peer dependencies: @deepseek-ai/cordis ^4.0.1, @deepseek-ai/schemastery ^3.18.0, and @deepseek-ai/dsh-session, @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools, @deepseek-ai/dsh-system-prompt, @deepseek-ai/dsh-web, @deepseek-ai/dsh-jobs at 0.1.0-rc.6.
• Optional siblings (never required): ctx.web providers for URL capture/gather, ctx.jobs for background assembly, ctx.dataQuality (dsh-data-quality) for dataset citation cross-checks.

What you get

• Evidence ledger — a content-addressed snapshot store (<ledgerRoot>/objects/<sha256> + JSONL journals). The same content is stored exactly once; snapshots are immutable; every read recomputes the hash, so tampering or deletion is detected instead of trusted.
• Claim ↔ evidence binding — claims register with the evidence ids they rely on; the ledger keeps the binding and every verification verdict (latest wins).
• Byte-level verification — every number and quoted span in a claim must be locatable verbatim in the bound snapshots. Missing citations mark the claim unverified; a label whose snapshot value differs (the claimed value absent) marks it contradicted. No semantics, no embeddings — auditable byte checks.
• Optional numeric bridge — when a claim cites a structured workspace dataset (CSV/JSON) and dsh-data-quality is mounted, citations are cross-checked with tolerances through its frozen verifyCitations contract.
• Versioned sealed reports — <reportRoot>/<slug(topic)>/<YYYYMMDD-HHmmss>/report.md + manifest.json; the seal hash is the SHA-256 of the manifest, which itself carries the report hash and every evidence hash.
• Honest gaps — unverified and contradicted claims keep a visible [未核实] / [与证据矛盾] marker in the report body and are listed in Appendix A. Nothing is silently passed.
• No deep-research loop — retrieval orchestration is deliberately reused: ctx.web for search/fetch, ctx.jobs for long runs. Planning and synthesis stay with the model (or an upstream plugin).

Quick start

git channel

# From a scratch profile (pins the commit; runs the self-contained `prepare` build)
dsh plugin --profile demo add "github:YOUR_ORG/dsh-research-report#<sha>"
# The profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml gains an allowBuilds entry for dsh-research-report on first add.

npm channel

dsh plugin --profile demo add dsh-research-report

Both channels install the bundle row (see cordis.patch.yml) into the profile's dsh.profile.bundles stack and take effect on restart.

Then, in a session:

evidence_add({ origin: "docs/market.md", title: "Market snapshot" })     # → ev-1a2b3c4d5e6f
research_report({ topic: "示例行业概览", sections: [...], claims: [...], evidenceRefs: ["ev-1a2b…"] })
ledger_query({ claimId: "c1" })                                          # bindings + verdict

Install & uninstall

dsh plugin --profile demo add dsh-research-report       # install
dsh plugin --profile demo remove dsh-research-report    # uninstall

Verify the row mounts: dsh --profile demo --dump-config | grep dsh-research-report.

Configuration

All tunables are Schemastery Config fields; invalid values fail the profile load loudly. Relative roots resolve against the harness working directory (the workspace).

Key	Default	Description
enabled	true	Master switch; false mounts nothing.
ledgerRoot	.research-ledger	Evidence-ledger directory (objects + JSONL journals).
reportRoot	research-reports	Sealed-report root (versioned per topic and timestamp).
maxEvidenceBytes	2097152	Hard cap on one evidence snapshot's UTF-8 bytes.
maxEvidencePerReport	200	Hard cap on evidence items bound into one report.
fetchTimeoutMs	20000	Deadline (ms) for one ctx.web fetch during capture.

Tools & surfaces

• evidence_add({ origin, content?, title? }) — register one evidence snapshot. With content the text is stored verbatim; without it a URL origin is fetched through ctx.web and a workspace-relative path is read from disk (reads never escape the workspace). Returns the evidence id and SHA-256 hash.
• research_report({ topic, title?, sections, claims, evidenceRefs, gather?, depth?, background? }) — assemble and seal a report: validate (unregistered claim references are rejected loudly), verify every claim, render report.md with visible markers, write manifest.json, and return the seal hash. gather: true runs ONE search round over ctx.web and returns captured candidate evidence plus an explicit gap list — it never auto-assembles. background: true returns { kind: 'background', jobId } over ctx.jobs.
• ledger_query({ claimId? | evidenceId? }) — read-only binding/verdict queries; evidence is re-hashed on read so a tampered or missing snapshot is reported explicitly. With no id, returns a ledger summary.
• ctx.researchReport.assemble(request) — the frozen service surface for sibling plugins (see src/service.ts; gated byte-for-byte by scripts/verify-frozen-contract.mjs).

Permissions & data

dsh-research-report consumes only public seams: ctx.tools, ctx.systemPrompt, and optionally ctx.web / ctx.jobs / ctx.dataQuality (looked up at call time, never injected). It writes only inside the configured ledger and report roots (both default to workspace-local directories), reads workspace files only inside the workspace, and reaches the network exclusively through the harness web seam — never a direct fetch. Evidence snapshots are immutable and content-addressed; claim registrations are immutable; verdicts are append-only.

Security boundaries

• Tamper-evidence by construction — every snapshot read recomputes SHA-256 against the index; a mismatch verifies the bound claims contradicted and ledger_query reports integrity: tampered/missing.
• Workspace confinement — local evidence reads resolve against the workspace root and refuse escapes (both sides are path.resolved before comparison).
• Fail-loud configuration — invalid bounds throw at mount; unregistered claim references, unknown evidence ids, and id/content conflicts throw at assemble.
• No credential handling, no hidden network — URL capture rides ctx.web (provider selection, error taxonomy, and any SSRF policy stay with the deployment's web providers).
• Reversible registrations — every contribution goes through ctx.effect() / register(), so uninstall and hot reload are clean.

Known limitations

• Byte-level, not semantic — the built-in check locates number/quote literals verbatim; paraphrased claims without a checkable literal verify as unverified, and a true claim whose number is absent while its label appears with a different value reads contradicted. This is a deliberate v1 choice (auditable beats clever).
• Session events are adaptive — the plugin declares typed research-report/evidence, research-report/verify, and research-report/seal session events, but rc.6's Session.append has no ignorable marker and no plugin event-registration surface, so appends activate only when the host build knows the types (otherwise the persistence layer would refuse the log on restore). The ledger journals are always the durable source of truth.
• Default profiles mount no fetch provider — the shipped dsh-base mounts search only, so URL capture fails loud (WEB_UNAVAILABLE/WEB_PROVIDER_UNAVAILABLE) until a fetch provider is configured; search-based gather lists uncaptured sources in the gap list.
• Single-workspace scope — ledger and report roots resolve against the harness working directory at mount; multi-workspace deployments should configure absolute roots per profile.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run typecheck && pnpm run typecheck:ci
pnpm test
pnpm run build
pnpm run verify:self-contained && pnpm run verify:artifacts
node scripts/check-readme-sync.mjs
node scripts/verify-frozen-contract.mjs
pnpm pack

• typecheck resolves @deepseek-ai/* through the installed 0.1.0-rc.6 peers; typecheck:ci clears skipLibCheck and enables verbatimModuleSyntax against the published types. Both must stay green.
• Tests use the real Context/Session/ToolRuntime/LocalJobRegistry/WebRuntime from the 0.1.0-rc.6 peers; only network backends are scripted providers registered through the real ctx.web registries.
• Release: node scripts/release.mjs <x.y.z> (bumps, stamps CHANGELOG, re-runs the gate, commits + tags; never pushes).
