based-dsh-diving

Deep diving was never the vibe.

A DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin for the web profile. It swaps the static Deep diving... turn-status label for 96 rotating loading phrases drawn from the terminally-online end of the English language. The elapsed-time clock beside the label is left alone.

Inspired by ldgeng/dsh-claudecode-tips, with the vibes recalibrated.

Before:  Deep diving...            12s
After:   Nuking the database...    12s

Install

Requires the web profile and DSH 0.1.0-rc.6 or newer (out-of-tree bundle support).

# straight from Gitea
dsh plugin --profile web add git+https://gitea.milesward.dev/mward4/based-dsh-diving.git

# or from a local checkout
dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/based-dsh-diving

Then restart the web UI:

dsh --profile web

Verify it works

1. Open a session.
2. Send a message.
3. While the model works, the status line should cycle phrases every ~2.2s — Burning tokens..., Yapping..., Tracing Satoshi Nakamoto... — with the timer still counting on the right.

Disable it

Without uninstalling, add this to the profile's cordis.patch.yml:

- id: based-dsh-diving
  disabled: true

Coexistence with @claude-code-tips/dsh-plugin

Both plugins claim the same role="status" label, so whichever loads first wins and the other goes quiet. Run one at a time:

- id: claude-code-tips
  disabled: true

Configuration

Everything tunable lives at the top of client.js:

Constant	Default	Purpose
PHRASES	96	Bare phrases — the ... is appended at render time.
ROTATE_MS	2200	How often the label changes while a turn runs.
SCAN_DEBOUNCE_MS	120	Debounce for DOM rescans.

To add your own, drop a string into PHRASES and restart the web UI. No build step.

How it works

A DSH plugin bundle is three small pieces:

File	Role
index.js	Host-side half. Deliberately a no-op — the work happens in the browser.
client.js	Browser-half bundle: finds the status label and rewrites its text node.
cordis.patch.yml	Inserts the based-dsh-diving row into the web profile's plugin tree.

client.js locates the label via [role="status"] and matches its text against the stock label in every shipped locale (Deep diving... / 深度求索中...). It then:

• claims the text node and swaps in a random phrase,
• re-asserts the claim if React reconciles the label back to the stock string,
• rotates the phrase on a timer, so it keeps moving even when streaming never re-renders the label.

Only the label text node is touched. The clock span, aria-live, and the shimmer styling are untouched.

No server code, no model prompt changes, no fork of DSH.

Development

No build step, no runtime dependencies.

node test/client.test.mjs

The test runs client.js against a minimal DOM stub and checks six behaviours: initial claim, clock untouched, React revert re-asserted, timer rotation, localized-label detection, and clean disposal. All checks print PASS/FAIL.
