ZJUZhiyuCai/dsh-ivory

Ivory gives the DSH web interface a quieter reading rhythm without changing how the harness works. Warm neutrals replace cold grays, editorial type improves long responses, and the conversation stays usable from a narrow phone window to a wide desktop. DeepSeek branding and every native DSH capability remain in place.

Quick start

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-ivory
dsh web

Hard-refresh the page with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R, then open Settings → Ivory Theme. The main theme is enabled by default; the optional focus mode stays off until you choose it.

Install the exact GitHub release without using npm.

dsh plugin --profile web add github:ZJUZhiyuCai/dsh-ivory#v0.2.1

Remove Ivory and return to the native DSH interface.

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-ivory

Made for everyday DSH

Area	What Ivory changes
Appearance	A complete warm-neutral palette for light and dark mode, with restrained shadows, corners, and editorial typography.
Responsive layout	Fluid conversation geometry tested at 375, 768, 1,440, and 1,920 pixels.
Reading and copying	Independent controls for prose, user bubbles, and code blocks, plus a small end-of-response marker.
Markdown documents	A bounded, DOM-built preview for .md output with source view always available and HTTP(S)-only links.
Accessibility	Keyboard focus, reduced-motion behavior, forced-colors fallbacks, and WCAG AA muted text contrast.
Compatibility	Structural styling degrades to stable theme tokens when the verified DSH selector contract changes.

A closer look

Quiet by design

Ivory is a browser-only visual plugin. Its host entry point is intentionally inert.

Boundary	Ivory behavior
Bundled runtime dependencies	None. DSH client modules and React are peers.
Filesystem and process access	None.
Network requests and telemetry	None.
Persistent data	Two local preference flags in localStorage.
User content	Presented in the browser; copied only after an explicit click.
Third-party branding	No Anthropic fonts, logos, icons, or application code.

The npm package contains eight allowlisted files and is checked on every CI run. Read the full security policy, architecture boundary, and third-party notices.

[!NOTE] DeepSeek Harness is in developer preview and may make breaking UI changes. Ivory 0.2.x is verified against DSH 0.1.0-rc.6. When Ivory cannot prove the current structural contract, it keeps token-level theming and releases the host layout back to DSH.

npm ci
npm test          # 14 static, build, publint, and package checks
npm run qa:r2     # 69 browser regressions; DSH must run at 127.0.0.1:3080

The browser suite covers responsive layout, composer focus, dark mode, Markdown injection attempts, streaming state, lifecycle cleanup, block-copy payloads, plugin coexistence, long tables, reduced motion, and forced colors.

Releases use npm Trusted Publisher with GitHub OIDC. The repository stores no long-lived npm publish token, and future CI releases receive npm provenance automatically.

npm ci
npm run build

dsh plugin --profile web add link:$PWD

Edit src/skin.css or src/client.template.js, then run npm run build. The generated lib/client.js is committed so GitHub installs need no build permission.
