Expected behavior
DSH should fail fast before installation or profile initialization and print a clear message such as:
Suggested improvement
engines.noderequirement (^22.19.0 || >=24.0.0) into the published@deepseek-ai/dshnpm package.nvm install 22 && nvm use 22.This would make the first-run experience much easier to diagnose than an indefinite spinner.
