npm install @deepseek-ai/dsh hangs in infinite CPU loop (npm 10.9.8) - peerDependencies on dsh-app-boot

[Hypertension42]

Environment

• Node: v22.23.2
• npm: 10.9.8
• OS: Linux
• Package: @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.1-rc.2

Steps to reproduce

mkdir test && cd test
npm install @deepseek-ai/dsh

Expected behavior

Installs successfully.

Actual behavior

The process hangs forever with 100% CPU usage and no network activity (verified via top and ss: no open connections, no child processes). It never prints errors or progress. Looks like an infinite loop in npm's dependency resolution, not a network issue.

Suspected cause

@deepseek-ai/dsh-app-boot declares 9 peerDependencies that are actually required at runtime:

• @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-group
• @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-loader
• @deepseek-ai/dsh-launch-environment
• @deepseek-ai/dsh-invariants
• @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-hmr
• @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-include
• @deepseek-ai/dsh-home-paths
• @deepseek-ai/dsh-system-prompt
• @deepseek-ai/cordis

npm 10.9.8 spins forever while resolving this peer dependency graph.

Workaround (verified)

npm install @deepseek-ai/dsh --legacy-peer-deps
# peer deps are NOT auto-installed with --legacy-peer-deps, so install them explicitly:
npm install @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-group @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-loader @deepseek-ai/dsh-launch-environment @deepseek-ai/dsh-invariants @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-hmr @deepseek-ai/cordis-plugin-include @deepseek-ai/dsh-home-paths @deepseek-ai/dsh-system-prompt @deepseek-ai/cordis --legacy-peer-deps

Recommendation

These packages look like they should be regular dependencies, not peerDependencies — peer deps are meant to be provided by the host application, but dsh requires them at runtime and crashes with ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND if they are missing. Fixing the dependency declarations (or documenting --legacy-peer-deps in the README) would resolve both the install hang and the runtime crash.

Both the npx install method and the git clone route pnpm install method both hangs

@Hypertension42 I just tried it again, the git clone method, I think if ou leave it, it would install on its own. It did hang but I left it and after a couple of minutes like 20mins it just installed and everything is okay. try the npm, if it hangs leave it for a couple of minutes or 20 mins if it still doesn't work then try the git clone method pnpm install
