03DSH integration and capability boundaries
A Tauri 2 desktop shell that runs DeepSeek Harness natively on Windows / macOS / Linux with zero environment setup
Zero-environment runtime
the Harness kernel + built-in Node runtime→a running DeepSeek Harness desktop app on first launch; reuses an existing compatible Node / Pnpm without modifying the system environment
on first launch auto-assembles a built-in Node runtime and Harness kernelKernel update & profile isolation
the running Harness service→upstream Harness sync on each launch, multi-version core download/switch/uninstall, and isolated profiles for plugins/patches/settings
switching the core version requires restarting the service
04Who is it for? When not to use it?
Good for
- DeepSeek Harness (dsh) users who want a zero-setup desktop GUI instead of installing Node / pnpm / Docker by hand
05Compatibility, maintenance and safety notes
- The desktop app ships for Windows / macOS / Linux with a bilingual (Chinese / English) UI; the README badge links to the hairyf/deepseek-harness-desktop release channel rather than this repo's own releases.

06Frequently asked questions
How do I install DeepSeek Harness Desktop?
Download the installer from the GitHub Releases page and launch it. The first launch auto-assembles a built-in Node runtime and the Harness kernel — no manual Node / pnpm / Docker install needed.
Does it modify my existing Node or pnpm environment?
No. If your machine already has a compatible Node / Pnpm, the app reuses it directly and does not modify your existing system environment.
How does the kernel update work?
Every launch syncs the latest upstream Harness version, so upstream updates apply without reinstalling. You can also download, switch, or uninstall multiple core versions, which requires restarting the service.
How are plugins and settings handled?
The app isolates profiles: you can create / switch / delete independent profiles where plugins, patches, and settings are kept separate and do not interfere with each other.
Which platforms are supported?
Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a bilingual (Chinese / English) UI that adapts to dark mode.
