ARCHIVED (read-only) — The official DSH web shell shipped a built-in Turn navigation rail in the 0.1.2 series (npm @deepseek-ai/dsh ≥ 0.1.2-rc.1; upstream feat(ui-chat): full-session turn rail with load-and-jump, b3064cca): a TurnNavigator rail with hover previews, click-to-jump, reading-position tracking, and jump-loads for unloaded turns. The core capabilities of this plugin are now covered by the host, so this repository is archived. Historical implementation remains in docs/ and the git history.

Conversation node navigation rail: jump between user messages from the node strip on the right edge of the conversation — hover to preview, click to jump

An evenly spaced node strip along the right edge of the conversation area (one node per user message): the active pill follows your reading position, hovering shows a preview card (truncated at 6 lines), clicking smooth-scrolls with a brand-blue highlight ring, more than 30 nodes switch to a fixed 30-node window with count badges (↑N/N↓) at the ends showing how many are hidden, it stays invisible until hovered, and it auto-hides only when no user message is loaded — in that case it automatically loads earlier history until at least one user message appears (or history runs out). Implements the dsh-external/issues#144 spec. Form: an official bundle plugin (dsh.bundle + dshClient channel, browser-only, empty Node half), 0 patches.

Features

Zero data-channel dependencies: driven only by official anchor attributes (data-time-hover-root, on user rows since 0806) — no polling, no routing, no tools.

Installation

Recommended: one-line install from git source (build artifacts are committed, so git source does not trigger a build):

dsh plugin --profile web add "github:vlln/dsh-navbar#main"   # one-line git-source install (build artifacts committed)
# or npm source: dsh plugin --profile web add @vlln/[email protected]

Or from a local directory (when you have the source): git clone, then cd dsh-navbar && dsh plugin --profile web add ..

Restart web after installing for it to take effect; you can disable/enable it in the Plugins panel on the Settings page.

Usage

Works out of the box — no commands, no tools. The node rail appears on the right edge of the conversation page (Chat view); hover for a preview, click to jump. Animations are disabled under prefers-reduced-motion.

Pin: hover an assistant message's action bar and click 📌 to pin that reply — the corresponding turn's navigation node becomes a golden slim elliptical disc (click to jump straight to that reply; the preview card shows a 📌 badge and the reply text). Pin state is saved per session in browser localStorage and survives refreshes; click again to unpin.

Load earlier history: when the open conversation still has older messages (its history window is not fully loaded), an ↑ button sits at the very top of the node rail. Click it to load the earlier messages — the rail then grows new nodes at the top. The button hides automatically once all history is loaded, and is disabled while a load is in flight. Hovering it instantly shows a hint card in the same style as the node previews (the official HoverCard look), and it reads "Loading…" while a load is in flight. The click is forwarded to the official load-older control, so your current reading position is preserved (no content jump).

Development

pnpm install
pnpm run build      # tsdown: client bundle (lib/client.js)

• client: src/client/index.ts (self-rendered DOM + official anchor contract; the pin button uses the official conversation.chat.assistant-actions slot, with React provided by the client runtime; ctx services accessed must be declared in the plugin object's inject)
• Node half: src/index.mjs (empty apply, the bundle mount carrier)
