DeepSeek Harness Web plugin: a real PTY terminal in a VS Code-style collapsible footer panel
A real interactive terminal in the DSH Web UI — a VS Code-style collapsible panel docked to the footer: an actual shell runs in a PTY and raw terminal bytes stream to the browser, rendered by xterm.js with ANSI colors, cursor movement, full-screen apps (vim, htop, top), and 256-color output. Ctrl+ toggles the panel; live resize reflows the PTY; restart button; settings card configures theme, font size, panel height, opacity, start-collapsed, shell, and working directory. If xterm.js cannot load offline, a plain streaming view still exposes the real shell.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add github:mervyn-teo/dsh-plugin-terminalGitHub install per README: dsh plugin --profile web add github:mervyn-teo/dsh-plugin-terminal, then restart dsh web — host bundles load at boot. Persistent bundle plugin (host half + browser half). Defaults (theme, font size, panel height, opacity, start-collapsed, shell, working directory) live in cordis.patch.yml and are adjustable at runtime from the settings card.
Compatibility
DeepSeek Harness web profile. Real interactive shell via the harness's subprocess.spawnTerminal primitive (node-pty): PowerShell on Windows, $SHELL//bin/bash elsewhere.

FAQ
- Is it a real shell?
- Yes — an actual shell (PowerShell on Windows, $SHELL or /bin/bash elsewhere) runs in a PTY via the harness's spawnTerminal primitive.
- Can I run full-screen apps?
- Yes — xterm.js renders cursor movement, ANSI colors, and full-screen apps like vim, htop, and top.
- What if xterm.js fails to load?
- A plain streaming view still exposes the real shell — graceful fallback.
