Upstream Radar

Compatibility evidence for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) plugin ecosystem.

A plugin repository can look healthy while its published artifact cannot install on the current DSH runtime. Upstream Radar binds the exact plugin artifact, DSH release, Node runtime, dependency graph, and install policy into one reviewable compatibility record—then identifies which plugins and authors are affected when that evidence changes.

The core object is an exact environment, not a package name or a diff:

plugin tarball SHA-256 × DSH version × Node/pnpm baseline × approved dependency builds

How the system fits together

flowchart TB
  Input["DSH releases · plugin source/npm · advisory feeds"] --> IR["Exact-coordinate compatibility IR"]
  IR --> Static["Static lane<br/>identity · graph · vulnerabilities"]
  IR --> Runtime["Isolated lane on a fresh VM<br/>install → register → load"]
  Static --> Evidence["Versioned exact-pair evidence"]
  Runtime --> Evidence

Loading

Radar establishes deterministic facts; the Agent interprets project impact. A model never decides whether versions match, invents a dependency path, or turns missing evidence into a green result.

What it answers

Question	Evidence returned
Does this exact plugin work with this DSH release?	Tarball identity, Node contract, install, registration, and load result.
Why did it fail?	The failed stage, bounded command evidence, required build approval, or incompatible runtime range.
What enters the DSH profile?	Exact npm/pnpm nodes, duplicate versions, root-to-dependency paths, and unresolved edges.
Which plugins are exposed to an upstream change?	A reverse index with every known downstream path and its coverage status.
What can the author repair?	The concrete package, version, lockfile, DSH declaration, or installation contract involved.

Proven on real DSH plugins

• Imported a commit-pinned cohort of 8 repositories from awesome-dsh-plugin; 6 independently matched npm artifacts enter the isolated matrix and 2 remain correctly GitHub-only.
• Tested 9 exact artifacts against DSH 0.1.1-rc.1 in separate disposable VMs. Eight installed, registered, and loaded under their recorded contracts.
• Stopped @zseven-w/dsh-openpencil@0.1.0-rc.1 before plugin execution because its artifact requires Node >=24.11.0 while the runner provides Node 22.23.2.
• Proved dsh-better-sidebar@0.14.0 succeeds only after the documented node-pty build is explicitly approved and the native toolchain is present.
• Built a reverse index from 37 real plugin graphs and 1,025 dependency coordinates, while preserving 13 missing-graph targets as evidence gaps.

The code-executing path is deliberately separate. Run Actions → Observe one DSH plugin install to give one exact pair its own secret-free GitHub-hosted VM and restricted container.

Always-on today

The scheduled observer watches 13 DSH/core/plugin targets and stores the last trusted source, npm, lockfile, and alignment observations. A new exact DSH publication selects the maintained plugin matrix; a mapped plugin publication selects that plugin. Only affected pairs enter the isolated runtime lane.

When nothing changed, Radar stays quiet: the verified steady-state run produced no Agent call, no install job, and no timestamp-only state commit.

Current boundary: unchanged plugin/DSH pairs retain their previous evidence; the current scheduler does not yet periodically re-run every existing pair.

Safety boundary

Radar does	Radar does not claim
Static graph and artifact checks without importing plugin code	An empty finding list proves safety
Dynamic checks in a fresh VM and restricted, secret-free container	A shared-kernel container proves hostile code is harmless
Exact-version advisory matching and dependency paths	Every matched plugin is exploitable
Exact-pair compatibility results with explicit coverage	One successful load covers every plugin business action

The repository also ships a reusable GitHub Action, maintained observer workflow, and machine-readable schemas. See the Chinese guide for complete configuration and architecture notes for evidence and trust boundaries.
