DeepSeek Harness Lite v0.1.0

DeepSeek Harness Lite v0.1.0 is the first public release of this independent, unofficial community distribution. The project is licensed under MIT and is not affiliated with or endorsed by DeepSeek.

Highlights

• Pins and verifies the official upstream @deepseek-ai/dsh package line at 0.1.0-rc.6.
• Provides the workspace, shell, and research capability packs.
• Bundles five reviewed plugins: command-allowlist, health, safe-fetch, session-export, and workspace-notes.
• Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux with blocking CI on all three platforms.
• Fixes native Windows profile publication so pnpm absolute junctions remain valid after publication.
• Keeps concurrent profile publication bounded and preserves valid active/previous versions.

Validation

Both the main branch and the v0.1.0 tag passed the complete blocking CI matrix on Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows. The committed stable report records all ten release gates as passed for the verified source commit, including unit, integration, plugin, build, repository, secret, license, compatibility, and install-size checks.

A bounded real API smoke test also succeeded separately against a DeepSeek-compatible endpoint. Credentials were not persisted, and the real API check is intentionally excluded from public CI.
