Shows a short Windows MessageBox or toast (BalloonTip) from WSL when a long task finishes.
Install
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:173787247/dsh-wsl-notify
Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).

Why
You leave a long agent run in the background; when it finishes, a Windows popup is easier to notice than a tab title.
Note: messagebox is blocking until dismissed. toast uses a tray BalloonTip (non-blocking); if it fails, falls back to MessageBox. Keep title/body short; no secrets.
