DeepSeek Harness Desktop Gala 2.1.0-preview.2

Important

The macOS build can exit unexpectedly when a code task starts its packaged terminal. Upgrade to 2.1.0-preview.3, which fixes the packaged PTY path and has been re-signed and notarized.

This Preview turns Gala from a collection of themes into a persistent character layer with an explicit default IP, optional personas and isolated role workspaces.

Highlights

  • GALA·群星 is the default IP — the whale and ten-character constellation now appear on first launch, in both galleries, on the splash screen, in the app icon and across the download site.
  • Original really means original — “恢复原装” removes Gala characters, backdrops, branding and colours. The choice persists across restarts and is no longer conflated with the default Stars skin.
  • Opt-in character personas — ten official characters can answer in their own speaking styles without changing tools, code, commands or factual requirements. The composer prompt follows the active persona; the feature remains off by default.
  • Role workspaces — an optional hard-mode switch gives each IP an isolated managed profile, plugin roster and non-sensitive settings. Credentials, conversations and working directories remain shared, and every workspace switch is validated before restart.
  • Persistent, readable stages — character artwork remains behind both the welcome view and active conversations. Theme-aware masking and frosted message cards improve text contrast without flattening each character's palette.
  • Safer startup and rollback — the splash screen follows the last healthy appearance, profile preparation is lazy and deterministic, and failed workspace boots return to the last-known-good profile.

Migration notes

  • Existing valid skin selections are preserved.
  • A previously explicit active: null remains “original” after the skin store migrates to v2.
  • A clean installation starts with GALA·群星.
  • Role workspaces and character personas are both disabled until the user explicitly enables them.

macOS signed package — 2026-08-27

The macOS DMG and ZIP were replaced with Developer ID signed, Hardened Runtime-enabled and Apple-notarized bundles. The notarization ticket is stapled to the app contained in both downloads, and the downloaded package passes strict code-signature, Gatekeeper and ticket validation.

First launch

  • macOS: drag the app into Applications and open it normally. The package is Developer ID signed and Apple-notarized.
  • Windows: in Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, choose More info → Run anyway.

The signed macOS build asks before downloading an update and asks again before installing it. The unsigned Windows Preview only notifies you about new GitHub Releases.

This is an independent community project, not an official DeepSeek product. See the user guide or report a reproducible issue.
