Rotates the model status line through a 53-phrase English/Chinese deep-theme pool: a random pick at turn start, event-driven switching on new thinking segments or tool calls (3s throttle), and a click on the status line toggles the language.

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Winter-And-You-Gone/dsh-deep-verbs

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. Only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).

README

Tired of the built-in status line showing Deep diving... forever? Want the model to show some personality while it thinks? Then this plugin is for you.

A pure plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) that only handles swapping the status line copy:

Random phrase per turn: a bilingual (EN/ZH) pool of 53 "deep" phrases, drawn from a shuffled bag (no repeats within a bag, no same phrase across bag boundaries);
Event-driven rotation: each new reasoning segment or tool call switches to the next phrase, at least 3 seconds apart (events inside the window merge into one catch-up switch at the window edge — rapid tool calls change the word only once);
Click to toggle language: click the status line to re-display the current phrase in the other language (no re-draw), synced across all parallel sessions; the choice is stored in localStorage and restored on reload;
The timer is untouched: the built-in "N分N秒" clock still appears after 15 seconds.

Does not modify any @deepseek-ai/dsh-* source code.

Design reference: the phrase-rotation play is inspired by Claude Code's spinner verbs — it samples a random gerund (Wandering… / Combobulating… / Noodling…) each time the spinner mounts, much like "one random phrase per turn"; 40 of this plugin's phrases are directly borrowed from that same word list.

Feature 1: random per turn + event-driven rotation

[user message]
Deep diving...            ← built-in: forever
        ↓ claimed by the plugin
Deep Seeking...           ← random phrase at turn start
Deep cooking...           ← switches on each new segment / tool call
深潜中…（1分23秒）         ← language toggles on click; timer still shows after 15s

Shuffled-bag draw: a bag of 53 indices is reshuffled only when exhausted — no short-term repeats, no same phrase across bag boundaries;
Random at turn start: the first status row of a turn draws a phrase; rows mounted in the same batch (parallel sessions) share it;
Event-driven: a newly mounted assistant-step (reasoning/answer segment) or tool-call (tool call, incl. retries) row advances the phrase; streamed tokens never mount rows, so no false triggers; re-inserted rows are deduped;
Throttle floor: at least 3 seconds between switches (MIN_SWITCH_MS); events inside the window merge into one catch-up switch at the boundary;
No rotation during long thinking: without new rows the phrase stays put until the next event.

Feature 2: click to toggle EN/ZH

Deep Seeking...            ← click the status line (pointer cursor + tooltip)
        ↓
深度求索中…               ← same phrase, other language; no re-draw

Same phrase, other language: Deep Seeking... ↔ 深度求索中… — the two pools are index-aligned, so the phrase never jumps;
Synced everywhere: all active status rows (parallel sessions) toggle together;
Persisted: the choice is stored in localStorage (dsh-deep-verbs:lang) and restored on reload;
User action wins: a click resets the 3-second floor, so an imminent auto-rotation can't instantly override the language you just picked.

Installation

pwsh install.ps1            # or: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File install.ps1

The script prefers ~/.dsh/profiles/desktop (desktop build), falling back to profiles/web; junction-links this directory into profiles/node_modules/dsh-deep-verbs; registers the insert in the profile's cordis.patch.yml.

Then fully quit the DSH process and restart (closing the window is not enough); the desktop window restarts on its own, browser users just refresh.

Manual install is equivalent to:

mklink /J %USERPROFILE%\.dsh\profiles\node_modules\dsh-deep-verbs <this directory>

Append to <profile>\cordis.patch.yml:

- insert:
    - id: dsh-deep-verbs
      name: 'dsh-deep-verbs'

Restart DSH.

How it works (why no source changes)

The built-in TurnStatus renders <div role="status">Deep diving...<span>clock</span></div>; React re-renders every second but never writes back the DOM text node while the string child is unchanged — so rewriting that text node in the browser side sticks.
Rotation is event-driven: every chat row (ChatNodeSeat) carries a host-internal data-chat-flow-kind attribute (DSH's own scroll anchoring relies on it — a stable detail); a newly mounted assistant-step / tool-call / model-retry row counts as one rotation event.
The MutationObserver subscribes to childList only (streamed text changes never trigger scans) and both claims new turn status rows and captures rotation events; a 3-second maintenance scan only covers claim fallback, repairing the rare React write-back of the built-in text, and catching up pending switches when background-tab timers are throttled (it never advances the phrase).
The click listener is attached when a status row is claimed; cursor / title hints live outside React's vdom, so re-renders don't clobber them (same mechanism as the text node).
Every DOM write goes through a "same-value, no write" guard: assigning Text.data enqueues a mutation record even when the value is unchanged, so writing the built-in phrase back verbatim would spin a sweep→observe→sweep microtask storm (the 2026-08-17 freeze incident; fixed in v0.2.1 with a regression test).

Notes

If a future DSH release changes the built-in text Deep diving..., the plugin degrades to a no-op; if it drops the data-chat-flow-kind attribute, it degrades to "new phrase per turn, no in-turn rotation" — neither touches any other UI.
Phrase pools, the switch interval, and the language key all live in the constants at the top of client.js.

Customization

Edit the PHRASES_EN / PHRASES_ZH arrays in client.js: English phrases stay lowercase deep xxxing (auto-capitalized with ... on display); Chinese phrases keep the …中 suffix (auto-appended …); the two arrays are index-aligned — same index = same phrase, and the language toggle maps by index. The minimum switch interval is MIN_SWITCH_MS (3000ms default — a floor, not a beat: slower events mean slower rotation). Restart DSH after saving.

Dev self-test

node verify.mjs

Drives the bundle's rewrite / rotation / throttle / storm-regression / language-toggle paths with a tiny DOM shim and a fake clock — no browser needed.

Uninstall

Delete the profiles/node_modules/dsh-deep-verbs link and remove the matching - insert block from cordis.patch.yml, then restart DSH.
