dsh-logger-panel

dsh-logger-panel

English | 中文

Runtime log panel for DeepSeek Harness (dsh). It captures the Host's Cordis logger output, streams it live into a Settings > Logs page over SSE, and persists the same records to bounded, date-and-size rotating JSONL files under the private $DSH_HOME/logs/dsh-logger-panel directory.

The page renders records as plain text. Raw logger arguments, Fiber references, ANSI escapes, and executable markup never cross the browser wire.

Preview

Features

• Live view with snapshot + 100 ms batched SSE appends.
• History paging: a Load older button reads records back from the rotated JSONL files across rotations and dates, so the browser can go beyond the in-memory window.
• Bottom auto-follow that pauses when you scroll up, with a Latest button to resume.
• Bounded memory: the Host retains the latest 2,000 records for a connecting browser.
• JSONL persistence: a new YYYY-MM-DD-N.jsonl file opens on Host activation, date change, or the 5 MiB size limit; matching files older than 30 days are removed. The directory is created with mode 0700 and files with 0600.
• Bounded disk queue (1,000 records). If persistence fails, the panel reports the failure and the live stream keeps working; omitted records are counted.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness with the Web profile (Settings shell from dsh-client-ui-settings, the client module system, and dsh-host-webserver), release 0.1.0-rc.6 or newer.
• Node ^22.19 || >=24.

Install

The package is a dsh bundle. package.json points dsh.bundle to cordis.patch.yml, which activates the Host plugin, and declares dsh.client so the Web profile auto-discovers the browser bundle.

From npm:

dsh plugin --profile demo add dsh-logger-panel
dsh --profile demo

From git (the prepare script builds lib/ during installation; authorize the build in the profile's pnpm-workspace.yaml first):

dsh plugin --profile demo add github:LingLambda/dsh-logger-panel#<sha>

For local development against a Harness checkout, load the Host source with an overlay:

pnpm dsh web --patch ./cordis.patch.yml --patch /absolute/path/to/dsh-logger-panel/overlay.yml

- insert:
    - id: logger-panel
      name: /absolute/path/to/dsh-logger-panel/src/index.ts

Configuration

The plugin row is inserted as logger-panel. Override its config in your profile patch:

- id: logger-panel
  name: dsh-logger-panel
  config:
    root: /var/log/dsh         # default: $DSH_HOME/logs/dsh-logger-panel
    maxRecords: 2000           # records retained for a connecting browser
    maxRecordChars: 20000      # max chars kept from one formatted message
    batchMs: 100               # SSE batch interval
    maxFileBytes: 5242880      # bytes per JSONL file before rotation
    maxAgeDays: 30             # retention; 0 disables deletion
    maxPendingRecords: 1000    # records accepted ahead of disk writes
    historyPageSize: 500       # records returned by one history page

How It Works

The Host registers a Cordis logger exporter. Every message is formatted to bounded plain text and appended to the in-memory history; the same record is queued to the JSONL writer, so all captured levels are persisted with no content filtering. Each browser connection receives a snapshot followed by batched appends, and a close drains accepted file writes. Initial directory or file-open failure rejects plugin activation; a later write failure stops persistence, reports it in the panel, and leaves the in-memory/SSE path active.

A /dsh-logger-panel/logs/history endpoint pages older records back from the JSONL files in reverse-chronological order. The first request anchors on the browser's earliest live record so the page never re-delivers the current window; later requests continue with an opaque cursor. The browser keeps loaded history separate from the live window: live trimming never removes history, and reconnected snapshots are folded in without duplicates.
