This project does one thing: packages the original DeepSeek Harness Web client into a pure Desktop distribution. It does not add Harness functionality, does not change business logic, does not maintain a separate set of configurations, sessions, workspaces, or user data, nor does it transform the upstream project into a so-called "Desktop mode."
DeepSeek Harness is the sole source of Harness functionality for this project. This repository is an independent desktop distribution fork, responsible only for the Tauri shell, the bundled runtime environment, necessary system adaptations for Desktop, and the release of macOS/Windows installers.
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Pure Packaging | Preserves the upstream Web interface, API, event streams, dynamic plugins, and Harness runtime semantics; does not duplicate or rewrite Web functionality. |
| Zero Environment Setup | The installer bundles Node.js and the Harness production runtime closure; users do not need to install Node.js, pnpm, Rust, or any other development environment. |
| Same Data Set | Desktop and native Web use the same DSH_HOME, ~/.dsh, .env loading rules, settings, credentials, sessions, workspaces, and cache. |
| Minimal Intrusion | Desktop adaptations are kept primarily in desktop/; minimal and directly relevant modifications to upstream code are allowed only when Tauri integration is truly impossible. |
| Independent Release | Desktop uses its own SemVer versioning and GitHub Releases; upstream sync records and Desktop versions are independent of each other. |
