Android/Termux bash capability provider for DeepSeek Harness. Registers as ctx.shell on Android so the model's bash tool executes in a controlled Termux environment — no fake sandboxing, no dependency on the ambient environment being accidentally right.

Why

On Android the upstream bash-sandbox fails closed (no bwrap/landlock/seatbelt platform chain), so the bash tool is dead out of the box. This provider replaces it with an honest Termux execution world: explicit environment injection, probe diagnostics, and a declared app-domain sandbox semantics (workspace-write + enforcement: 'partial').

Quick start

Prerequisite: a Termux installation with bash (pkg install bash).

1. Install — put the package into the profile's node_modules (healed fallback resolves its @deepseek-ai/* dependencies to the running dsh instance):

# from the profile directory (~/.dsh/profiles/web)
npm install /path/to/dsh-shell-termux-0.2.0.tgz
# or manually: unpack into <profile>/node_modules/@dsh-android/dsh-shell-termux/

2. Mount — add to the profile's cordis.patch.yml:

- id: bash-sandbox
  disabled: true
- insert:
    - id: shell-termux
      name: '@dsh-android/dsh-shell-termux'
      config:
        bashPath: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/bash
        prefix: /data/data/com.termux/files/usr
        home: /data/data/com.termux/files/home
        cwd: /data/data/com.termux/files/home
        timeoutMs: 120000
        maxTimeoutMs: 600000

3. Restart the dsh service and verify with --dump-config (the row must be present, not disabled).

Configuration

key	meaning	default
bashPath	absolute bash binary path	required
prefix	Termux prefix root (contains bin/ lib/)	required
home	Termux home directory	required
termuxVersion	TERMUX_VERSION value injected	0.118.3
extraPath	extra PATH entries prepended (e.g. /system/bin)	[]
cwd / timeoutMs / maxTimeoutMs / maxOutputBytes / maxSpillBytes / graceMs	inherited local-executor knobs (editable via shell settings)	mirror dsh-bash-local

What it does

• Controlled environment — every spawn injects PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH/HOME/PREFIX/TERMUX_VERSION/SHELL explicitly; execution never depends on the launcher environment.
• Reuses local mechanics — extends LocalBashExecutor (runArgv/startArgv): process-group SIGTERM→SIGKILL, output caps + spill, grace period, background lifecycle, teardown ownership.
• Honest sandbox declaration — sandboxMode = 'workspace-write' (so permission presets mount) with per-process enforcement: 'partial': the protection boundary is the Android app domain (SELinux u0_aXXX) plus the approval flow, not a path-level confiner.
• Probe diagnostics — probe() reports bash presence/version and missing toolchain packages (pkg install bash coreutils findutils grep ripgrep hints). Misconfigured bash fails loud with repair guidance.
• Single toolchain table (0.2.0) — REQUIRED_TOOLCHAIN / PROBE_BINARIES / TOOLCHAIN_REPRESENTATIVE are exported from one module, so the probe, install hints and any consumer list cannot drift apart; a source-level test fails if a second copy of the table exists.

Verification

• probe() status: full / partial / unusable with a missing-package list;
• fault injection: point bashPath at a missing binary → structured error (shell-termux: <path> is not executable; run 'pkg install bash' …) returned to the model.
