Multica DSH Runtime

Private, out-of-tree runtime bridge between Multica and the public DeepSeek Harness. It exposes a versioned JSONL protocol over stdio and composes over @deepseek-ai/dsh-base. It does not require changes to DeepSeek Harness.

Privacy

• This repository contains only the Multica integration layer. It does not vendor or redistribute DeepSeek Harness source code.
• Never commit API keys, MCP secrets, session logs, or generated profiles.
• DSH telemetry is disabled by the bundle patch.
• stdout is protocol-only; diagnostics go to stderr.

Local development

The DSH packages used by this plugin are public npm packages. This checkout is currently validated against @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.0-rc.6 and its matching @deepseek-ai/dsh-* package family.

pnpm install
pnpm check
pnpm build

Install the local bundle into a DSH profile after building it:

dsh plugin --profile multica add /absolute/path/to/multica-dsh-runtime

The plugin supports:

dsh --profile multica --probe
dsh --profile multica --list-models
dsh --profile multica --stdio

Multica discovers the profile only after --probe returns protocol version 1. For a non-standard DSH installation, point the daemon at its launcher:

export MULTICA_DSH_PATH=/absolute/path/to/dsh

The runtime contract includes:

• model and thinking-level discovery from DSH itself;
• committed text, reasoning, tool, result, and token-usage events;
• cooperative cancellation and durable session resume;
• canonical Multica MCP configuration translated to DSH stdio or streamable-HTTP clients;
• per-runtime/agent session roots supplied by the Multica daemon;
• headless one-shot approvals, with no interactive question surface.
• narrowly forwards only Multica’s server-minted mat_ task token into DSH’s otherwise credential-scrubbed shell, so in-task multica commands retain task attribution without exposing model-provider credentials.

The local .local/ tree is ignored. It may hold an isolated DSH home and a development launcher, but neither belongs in source control.

DEEPSEEK_API_KEY is read by DSH’s credential provider at process runtime. It must not be stored in this repository.
