This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

Rollback Whale

中文 | English

A well-fed guardian that helps DeepSeek Harness swim back to a healthy checkpoint.

Rollback Whale is an independently installable DSH plugin. It adds a compact power-style menu to the sidebar and a complete checkpoint manager to Settings. The recovery guardian and its payload store live outside the DSH checkout, so a broken UI or plugin composition does not remove the command-line escape hatch.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add github:ccbili30-collab/dsh-plugin-rollback-whale

Restart the Web profile after installation. When DSH is launched from a Git checkout, Rollback Whale finds the source root automatically. Otherwise set DSH_SOURCE_HOME=/path/to/deepseek-harness before launch.

To remove it:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-plugin-rollback-whale

What it protects

  • Creates immutable checkpoints from the current Git checkout and DSH control files.
  • Stores checkpoints under ~/.dsh-recovery by default, outside both the checkout and DSH_HOME.
  • Verifies every payload with SHA-256 before restore.
  • Creates an automatic rescue checkpoint, shuts DSH down, restores offline, and restarts the original launcher.
  • Provides rollback-whale as a boot-independent CLI when the Web profile cannot start.

Credentials, conversations, attachments, storage data, workspaces, and installed dependencies are deliberately excluded. This is safe rollback—not a data-erasing factory reset.

Emergency CLI

rollback-whale list
rollback-whale create --source /path/to/deepseek-harness --label "before plugin install"
rollback-whale verify CHECKPOINT_ID
rollback-whale restore CHECKPOINT_ID --confirm CHECKPOINT_ID --offline --source /path/to/deepseek-harness

Stop DSH before using the manual restore command. UI-initiated restore handles shutdown and restart through the detached guardian.
