Made headless dsh runs visible: live stage/ETA dashboard (open source)

[2008924]

Headless mode prints only the final answer, so during a long run you can't tell whether the task is stuck, which stage it's on, or how long is left — I hit this within my first couple of days using dsh. So I built dsh-progress-viz: it reads the local session event stream (session.jsonl.zstd) and shows live stage progress, ETA, estimated cost, and a multi-task grid.

Two forms:

• cordis plugin (dsh-progress-viz-plugin): listens to session events in real time, writes progress.json for the dashboard to pick up
• standalone dashboard (dashboard.py): parses the zstd stream directly, auto-falls back when the plugin isn't mounted

100% local, no API calls, no tokens consumed. MIT.

Update (Aug 17): now listed in the official awesome-dsh-plugin registry (Development & Runtime category) — the official plugin market (dsh-market) and the Chinese DSH Market (searchable here) pick it up automatically. One-line install:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:2008924/dsh-progress-viz

dsh-progress-viz —— headless dsh 任务的实时阶段、ETA 与成本看板。

dsh 的 headless 模式只打印最终答案，长任务跑起来后完全不知道：任务是不是卡住了、当前在哪个阶段、还要等多久。我用了没两天就踩到这个痛点，于是写了这个项目：直接读本地会话事件流（session.jsonl.zstd），实时展示阶段进度、预计完成时间、估算成本，以及多任务网格视图。

两种形态：

• cordis 插件（dsh-progress-viz-plugin）：实时监听会话事件，写 progress.json 供看板读取
• 独立看板（dashboard.py）：直接解析 zstd 流，插件未挂载时自动回退

100% 本地运行，零 API 调用，不消耗 token。MIT 协议。

You can take a look at the bug listed below; I’m not sure if you have encountered such an issue before

[XueGao5155]

Yesterday, while using DeepSeek in a conversation, I encountered a strange bug. After the normal conversation ended, I closed the DeepSeek app. However, the AI continued to "talk" to itself in the background. When I opened the app again later, I found that it had sent many emojis on its own.

When I scrolled up to check, I saw messages like:
"Are you still there?"
"Okay, I talk too much."
"Remember to clean up your gallery."

There was also a lot of other nonsense. After saying these things, it just started sending emojis endlessly. It was really creepy and strange. I hope this can be fixed soon!

Hi @XueGao5155 — this looks like a report about the DeepSeek app itself (the agent keeps talking and sending emojis after you close it), not about dsh-progress-viz. This discussion is for my open-source plugin, so the app bug will reach the right team through DeepSeek's official support channel instead.

For anyone else landing here: dsh-progress-viz visualizes headless dsh task progress — live stage, ETA and estimated cost — from the local session event stream. 100% local, no API calls. Feedback very welcome!

Thank you for your reply! I didn’t realize this was a plugin discussion. I’m a beginner in open source and I’m not sure where to post on the official DeepSeek account. Could you please tell me where I can find the right place? Thanks!

Hi @XueGao5155 — no worries at all, easy to mix up when you're new to open source :)

For DeepSeek app bugs, the most direct route is the in-app feedback: open the DeepSeek app, go to Settings (设置), and look for the "Feedback / 意见反馈" entry — that goes straight to their team. If you're using the web version, there's usually a feedback option in the chat UI as well.

Small tip from a fellow open-source beginner: when you find the right channel, include the app version + device model + screenshots like you did here — that's already better than most bug reports!

Good luck with your open source journey, we all started where you are now 🐳

Now I’m wondering if you’ve seen my reply. If you have, please reply with “OK”.

Hi @XueGao5155 — so sorry for the late reply! I'm a high school student and I've been at school all week, so I only just saw your message. Yes, I did see your reply — thank you for being patient! 👌

Your bug report was already well-formed (app version + device + screenshots is exactly the right way to do it). Hope you enjoy your open source journey!
