Conversation Flow observability for DeepSeek Harness: watch an Orchestrator coordinate child agents, inspect routed messages, follow topology changes, and open any child session from the web UI.

This repository is the standalone dsh-swarm-panel plugin. It is not the same package as the historical dsh-agent-swarm plugin that lived inside a Harness checkout.

What it adds

• A durable swarm runtime with parent-child, peer-to-peer, and mixed routing.
• Checkpoints and cold-resume recovery from the session event log.
• Group chat turns, shared context, lightweight memory, and human-in-the-loop pauses.
• A host-composed Conversation Flow tab with topology, swimlanes, route filters, message inspection, Live follow, and child-session navigation.

UI gallery

The gallery uses a deterministic populated fixture so the screenshots show every important visual state without exposing a real workspace or API credential.

Desktop overview	Message inspector

Responsive layout	Topology and Human input

The screenshots intentionally show a pending Human input card, Error role status, parent-child and peer routes, a selected message, and the host shell around the plugin-owned panel.

Short tour

The tour moves through the desktop overview, selected-message inspector, and 390×844 responsive layout. It is assembled from the same deterministic replay fixture used by the keyless UI checks; no model output or credential is embedded.

Quick start

The plugin runs inside a compatible DeepSeek Harness installation. Install Harness first, then install this package into the web profile.

After npm publication

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-swarm-panel
dsh web

The GitHub repository is the current distribution source until the npm package is published; use the checkout instructions below today.

Create or open a session, ask the Orchestrator to create a swarm, and open the Conversation Flow tab next to Chat and Trajectory.

Directly from GitHub

The package currently lives in the dsh-swarm-plugin/ subdirectory of this repository. Install that package directly from GitHub with pnpm's Git subdirectory syntax:

dsh plugin --profile web add 'github:stephenlzc/dsh-swarm-panel#path:dsh-swarm-plugin'
dsh web

For a reproducible install, pin the GitHub reference to a commit:

dsh plugin --profile web add \
  'github:stephenlzc/dsh-swarm-panel#path:dsh-swarm-plugin&<commit-sha>'

GitHub installs use the repository's committed build artifacts and are best suited to development snapshots. For the stable registry release, use the npm command above after publication. Git-hosted dependencies can run install-time code; inspect and trust the source before installing.

From this checkout

git clone https://github.com/stephenlzc/dsh-swarm-panel.git
dsh plugin --profile web add file:./dsh-swarm-panel/dsh-swarm-plugin
dsh web

The source checkout's typecheck and tests require a matching DeepSeek Harness source checkout because the plugin's development dependencies use the Harness workspace packages.

The package manifest is publishable independently: runtime peers use the public Harness release ranges, while the source workspace keeps workspace:* only in development dependencies.

Runnable code-review example

The repository includes a real Harness overlay at dsh-swarm-plugin/examples/coding-squad/cordis.yml. From a DeepSeek Harness checkout with this repository available at ../dsh-swarm-panel:

export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY=... # keep credentials in the environment or DSH credential store
pnpm dsh --profile headless \
  --patch ../dsh-swarm-panel/dsh-swarm-plugin/examples/coding-squad/cordis.yml \
  "review the pending PR"

The example asks one Orchestrator to spawn planner, security, and correctness roles, exchange findings, record a verdict, and checkpoint the swarm. The web profile shows the same durable events in Conversation Flow.

Supported environment

Component	Release target
DeepSeek Harness	0.1.0-rc.7 workspace API and compatible releases
Node.js	22.19+ or Node 24+
Browser	DeepSeek Harness web profile
Package	dsh-swarm-panel@0.1.0

The package currently targets the Harness 0.1.x release line. Keep the plugin and Harness versions aligned when upgrading.

Verification status

The current release candidate has been checked with:

• 84 keyless plugin tests passed; the key-gated real-API cold-resume test also passed (1 test).
• Host-composed browser E2E passed in the real web shell.
• TypeScript host and client checks passed.
• Manual in-app browser interaction covered details, route and Agent filters, search empty state, Clear filters, Live pause/resume, Human input, child-session navigation, keyboard coexistence, and a 390×844 viewport.
• npm pack --dry-run contains the built runtime, declarations, client bundle, patch, README, license, and canonical screenshot.
• The final tarball installed successfully through dsh plugin add into temporary compatible tarball, web, and headless profiles; the web profile booted the Harness shell with the package installed.
• The repository includes a redacted, deterministic UI tour GIF and a fresh in-app-browser audit set under docs/screenshots/.

The keyless browser fixture proves UI and host composition, while the separate cold-resume run proves the live runtime path. npm publication and a tagged GitHub release are still maintainer actions; the current repository is the download source until those are authorized.

Scope and known limitations

• Export is not implemented because the current projection has no export data source.
• A2A / ACP external protocol bridging is not included.
• Nested sub-swarms are intentionally not included; the current model has one Orchestrator level.
• Memory is Orchestrator-owned lexical retrieval; it is not automatically injected into every turn prompt and is not shown as a separate panel.
• The panel copy is currently English-only.
• Source-level development still depends on a matching Harness workspace; the published package is the consumer installation path.
• The bundled example makes a real model call; it is intentionally not run by keyless CI.
