dsh-orchestrator

@softspark/dsh-orchestrator is a config-only DeepSeek Harness bundle and agent preset. It lets one DSH parent delegate standalone tasks to Claude Code through its native Max/Pro login and to Gemini through the official GitHub Copilot CLI ACP server.

The package does not implement OAuth, read credential files, accept provider API keys, or call model APIs directly. It is an independently maintained SoftSpark community integration. It is unofficial and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, DeepSeek, GitHub, Google, or Microsoft.

Status

Version 2.0.0 is a release candidate targeting DSH 0.1.2-rc.1. The currently published 1.1.0 targets DSH 0.1.1-rc.2. The verification record distinguishes registry checks from candidate runtime checks.

Historical 1.1.0 pre-tag verification on 2026-09-04 passed 15 tests and both native delegation markers on DSH 0.1.1-rc.2. It also checked session sandbox inheritance. These results do not certify the new candidate or substitute for its post-release tests.

Requirements

• Node.js 22.19.0 or newer.
• npm for repository verification.
• pnpm for the DSH profile plugin manager.
• DeepSeek Harness 0.1.2-rc.1 for candidate 2.0.0.
• @softspark/dsh-codex@1.5.0 installed before this bundle when Codex is the parent. Use the local candidate tarball until that version is published.
• The profile-level Claude SDK override to 0.3.263. The DSH provider's bundled older CLI is refused by current Claude models even when the standalone CLI is up to date. Installing this package alone does not apply that override.
• Claude Code authenticated through claude auth login.
• GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.80 or a separately reviewed compatible version, authenticated through copilot login with an active Copilot plan.

No Anthropic, DeepSeek, Google, Gemini, or GitHub API key is required by this package. GitHub Copilot usage consumes the plan's AI credits.

Architecture

DSH parent session
    |
    +-- subagent_claude_code --> official DSH Claude provider --> Claude Code native login
    |
    +-- subagent_gemini_copilot --> official GitHub Copilot ACP --> Gemini 3.6 Flash

cordis.patch.yml enables the opt-in dynamic-tool bridge on the existing llm-codex row, then registers dormant Claude and Copilot ACP host-plane providers. agent-presets/softspark-orchestrator/agent.cordis.yml derives from the DSH standard preset and grants only selected sessions their static delegation tools. Installing the bundle starts no vendor process.

DSH applies bundle patches in profile order. Install dsh-codex before dsh-orchestrator. The Codex provider remains safe with dynamic tools disabled when it is installed without this orchestration bundle.

Gemini route

Gemini CLI stopped serving individual Google AI Pro/Ultra and free accounts on 2026-06-18. This package still registers no Google provider and does not use Antigravity, Google OAuth, Google AI Pro/Ultra, or Gemini API keys. Gemini runs through GitHub Copilot CLI's official ACP server, using GitHub authentication, GitHub plan policy, and GitHub AI credits.

cd dsh-orchestrator

Local installation

Use an isolated DSH_HOME before modifying a regular profile. Apply the SDK override from the setup guide after installing dsh-codex and before installing this bundle.

dsh plugin --profile web add file:/path/to/softspark-dsh-codex-1.5.0.tgz --save-exact --ignore-scripts
dsh plugin --profile web add "file:$(pwd)" --ignore-scripts

PRESET_ROOT="${DSH_HOME:-$HOME/.dsh}/.agent-presets"
test ! -e "$PRESET_ROOT/softspark-orchestrator"
mkdir -p "$PRESET_ROOT"
cp -R agent-presets/softspark-orchestrator "$PRESET_ROOT/softspark-orchestrator"

Restart DSH, create a new session, and select SoftSpark Orchestrator. Existing sessions keep the preset generation with which they started.

Install a published release

The current published pair below requires DSH 0.1.1-rc.2. For DSH 0.1.2-rc.1, use the local candidates above until both new versions are published. Copy the installed preset into the profile's user preset root:

dsh plugin --profile web add @softspark/dsh-codex@1.4.0 --save-exact
dsh plugin --profile web add @softspark/dsh-orchestrator@1.1.0 --save-exact

DSH_ROOT="${DSH_HOME:-$HOME/.dsh}"
PROFILE_ROOT="$DSH_ROOT/profiles/web"
PRESET_ROOT="$DSH_ROOT/.agent-presets"
test ! -e "$PRESET_ROOT/softspark-orchestrator"
mkdir -p "$PRESET_ROOT"
cp -R "$PROFILE_ROOT/node_modules/@softspark/dsh-orchestrator/agent-presets/softspark-orchestrator" \
  "$PRESET_ROOT/softspark-orchestrator"

Both supported release lines discover user presets from configured roots and $DSH_HOME/.agent-presets; installing a bundle does not automatically add its embedded preset directory. Restart DSH, then select SoftSpark Orchestrator for a new session.

If dsh-orchestrator loads without an earlier llm-codex row, DSH logs patch: entry "llm-codex" not found and skips the override. It does not insert or own a Codex provider. Install the exact dsh-codex package first and restart the profile.

Configuration

Component	Setting	Value
Codex parent	provider row	existing llm-codex from @softspark/dsh-codex@1.4.0
Codex parent	sandbox and approval fallback	workspace-write, untrusted
Codex parent	session permission inheritance	true; each knob follows the session on its own, see below
Codex parent	API-key auth	false
Codex parent	dynamic tools	true only in this later bundle layer
Codex parent	request, turn, and tool timeouts	30000, 600000, 600000 ms
Claude provider	registry name	claude-code
Claude provider	permission mode	dontAsk, fixed for the provider instance
Claude provider	explicit environment	{}
Claude tool	background mode	one-shot
Claude tool	depth	provider-managed
Copilot provider	command	copilot --acp --stdio
Copilot provider	model	gemini-3.6-flash
Copilot provider	permissions	reject, no available tools
Copilot provider	session AI credit cap	30
Copilot tool	background mode	one-shot
Copilot tool	depth	provider-managed

Session permission inheritance

inheritSessionPermissions: true lets a Codex thread follow the DSH session it serves instead of always using the configured fallback. The sandbox and the approval policy are inherited independently, not as a pair:

Session state	Resulting Codex thread
DSH danger-full-access preset (danger-full-access + never)	danger-full-access, never
DSH workspace-write preset (workspace-write + ask)	workspace-write, untrusted — the fallback
a full-access sandbox paired with an interactive approval policy	danger-full-access, untrusted
a read-only sandbox	read-only, untrusted
no, malformed, or unreadable session state	the configured fallback

The session's latest valid sandbox/mode becomes the thread sandbox. Its latest approval/policy becomes Codex never only when the session policy is never; every other policy, the interactive ask included, keeps the configured fallback, because app-server approvals have their own UI path.

A widened preset therefore widens the Codex child that session starts. Review the presets a profile offers before enabling this. Permissions resolve once, when the thread is created — matching DSH, which pins sandbox/mode and approval/policy into a session at creation so later changes never alter a live session.

The optional subagent_codex row remains disabled because Codex is the intended parent provider. The orchestration override repeats the complete intended static dsh-codex config because DSH replaces a targeted row's config rather than deep-merging it. DSH scrubs credential-shaped ambient variables before spawning children. Native vendor settings and account state remain authoritative.

Security boundaries

• No provider credential input or custom OAuth.
• Dynamic-tool execution is enabled only when this bundle follows the exact dsh-codex layer.
• No npm lifecycle scripts.
• Codex keeps its reviewed workspace-write and untrusted fallbacks unless the session's own DSH permission state overrides them, one knob at a time.
• Claude runs with the fixed dontAsk permission mode and denies operations that native policy has not already authorized.
• Copilot receives no tools, rejects permission requests, disables remote export/control, built-in MCP servers, custom instructions, and auto-update.
• Each delegation receives a standalone task and workspace cwd, not parent conversation history.
• Child effects completed before cancellation are not rolled back.
• Prompts and workspace content selected by a child may leave the computer through that vendor CLI.
