English | 简体中文

A 1:1 port of the official DeepSeek web app's right-side conversation navigation rail (ScrollNav) as a DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin — the exact ScrollNav UI/UX from chat.deepseek.com's shipped client, brought to your DSH Web chat.

Preview

Features

• Always-visible right rail — slim fixed vertical rail; every user-sent message appears as one indicator line, exactly like the official collapsed state
• Hover to expand — panel reveals message previews; the item nearest your reading position is highlighted in brand blue, tracking scroll in real time
• Click to jump — smooth-scrolls to the message, loading older history on demand
• Auto-hidden — disappears when the session has fewer than 2 user messages
• Accessible — ARIA labels + prefers-reduced-motion support

How it works

The host half registers the dshChatTimeline session projection that durably enumerates all user-sent messages; the client half renders the TimelineRail component (mounted in the conversation.input.dock slot, portal-rendered to body). Data sources, fastest first: projection → loaded chat nodes → background loadOlder loop.

Install

One-click (Windows, recommended)

1. Download this repo (green Code button → Download ZIP, or git clone)
2. Double-click install.bat — the script copies the plugin, registers the config, and runs pnpm install automatically
3. Restart dsh web and refresh the browser

The script is idempotent: re-running it won't re-install.

Manual (other platforms)

1. Copy the plugin to $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/plugins/dsh-chat-timeline/ ($DSH_HOME is usually ~/.dsh)
2. Add "dsh-chat-timeline": "file:plugins/dsh-chat-timeline" to profiles/web/package.json, then run pnpm install
3. Add to profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml:

   - insert:
       - id: chat-timeline
         name: dsh-chat-timeline
   

4. Restart dsh web and refresh the browser

Architecture reference

• Layout/CSS: 1:1 port of the official ScrollNav (extracted from the shipped main.css), re-scoped under the dsct_ prefix
• Plugin architecture: modeled on asukasec/dsh-message-preview (MIT)
