01What can it help you accomplish?
Roll a DeepSeek Harness workspace back to exactly how it looked before a chosen user message
A verified full or selective restore of worktree files, with an optional new Session that reopens the chosen message's prompt in the composer
DSH users who want a manual, human-approved safety net against unwanted edits made by the agent, themselves, or external tools
Recover from a failed or interrupted restore and inspect Change Ledger rescue points
An inspectable rescue point plus a plan/apply restore driven through the public `ctx.changeLedger` service API
Operators and other Cordis plugins that need durable, auditable recovery of workspace mutations
02How to install into DeepSeek Harness
Prerequisites
- A local checkout of the plugin repository (the install step builds the checked-out plugin)
- Node.js and pnpm, to run `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` and `pnpm run check`
Installation steps
- 01
Build the checked-out plugin with `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` then `pnpm run check`
- 02
Add it to each DSH profile: `dsh plugin --profile web add @anionex/dsh-turn-rewind` (and `dsh plugin --profile headless add @anionex/dsh-turn-rewind`)
$ dsh plugin --profile web add @anionex/dsh-turn-rewind
- 03
Restart the running profile after changing its bundle list
Verify the integration
- Confirm the bundle is registered: `dsh --profile web --dump-config | grep turn-rewind`
- Open a user message in the Web profile and look for the icon-only Rewind action after its timestamp and Copy control
03DSH integration and capability boundaries
Ships as a DSH Profile Bundle (`dsh.bundle.patch`) mounted via `cordis.patch.yml` without a DSH core patch; enable it per profile with `dsh plugin --profile <name> add @anionex/dsh-turn-rewind`.
Turn Rewind user action
a selected user message in a DSH Web session→a preview of affected files and two restore choices — restore files and restart, or restore files only
Restores selected worktree files only after you press the final confirm button in the Rewind dialogChange Ledger durable restore engine
the current Git worktree plus an agent, user, or external mutation→content-addressed restore-point manifests and an exact path-level drift preview
Rescue points & recovery
an interrupted or failed restore operation→an inspectable rescue point and a plan/apply restore via the public `ctx.changeLedger` service API
Captures a rescue point of the current tree before mutating any pathConfiguration
profile patch-layer overrides (storageDir, maxRestorePoints, maxFiles, maxFileBytes, etc.)→resolved Change Ledger storage path and retention / size limits
Two restore modes
restore-and-restart, or restore-only→restored project files, and optionally a new Session that puts the message's text back in the composer
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- DSH users who want a manual, human-approved safety net against unwanted edits made by the agent, themselves, or external tools
- Operators and other Cordis plugins that need durable, auditable recovery of workspace mutations
Not for
- Turn Rewind never touches Git history: the index, branch, HEAD, stash, and commits are left untouched, so restored content appears only as ordinary uncommitted changes.
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- Turn Rewind never touches Git history: the index, branch, HEAD, stash, and commits are left untouched, so restored content appears only as ordinary uncommitted changes.
- If an unmanaged or ignored file sits where a restore would write, the restore fails rather than deleting that file; sparse checkouts, submodule gitlinks, ignored files, special files, and non-Git directories are rejected.
- Nothing is restored automatically. Every restore begins from you pressing the final button in the Web dialog or an explicit call through the service API; the dialog preview reads the tree but changes no files.

06Frequently asked questions
What is DSH Turn Rewind, and how is it different from Change Ledger?
Turn Rewind is the user-facing Web action under each message; Change Ledger is the durable restore engine (`ctx.changeLedger` service, on-disk format, storage path) underneath it. The README calls Turn Rewind 'the user-facing feature, repository, and Profile Bundle name' and Change Ledger 'the durable restore engine underneath it.'
How do I install it into DeepSeek Harness?
Check out the repo, run `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` and `pnpm run check`, then add it to each profile: `dsh plugin --profile web add @anionex/dsh-turn-rewind` (and the `headless` profile). Restart the profile afterwards, and confirm with `dsh --profile web --dump-config | grep turn-rewind`.
Does it modify my Git history or branches?
No. The safety contract states 'No Git control-plane mutation: the index, branch, HEAD, stash, and commits remain untouched.' Turn Rewind only restores worktree files after you confirm, so restored content shows up as ordinary uncommitted changes against the current HEAD.
What happens if a restore fails or DeepSeek Harness crashes mid-restore?
Before any write it captures a rescue point and a durable operation journal. If DSH stops with a non-terminal journal, the next startup marks it interrupted, and recovery uses the public `ctx.changeLedger` API — `listRecovery` finds the rescue point, `inspect` reviews it, then `planRestore`/`applyRestore` handle the paths.
Which files can it restore, and what is out of scope?
In v0.1 it supports normal Git worktrees only: tracked files (including missing ones), untracked non-ignored files, symlinks, binaries, and permission bits. It rejects sparse checkouts, submodule gitlinks, ignored files, special files, and non-Git directories; an ignored file in a restore path makes the restore fail rather than delete it.
