The community-maintained 'armor-purge' plugin for DeepSeek Harness

What it does

dsh-purge Community is a self-hosted add-on for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) that reduces interaction-level friction: fewer repeated confirmations and interruptions, so an agent can run tasks continuously instead of pausing to ask permission every step. It bundles 80 host patches, a 25-layer status self-check, and a full-page settings panel in the sidebar. The README is explicit that it doesn’t change the model itself — it’s about the interaction layer, not the weights.

The interesting bit

The engineering discipline is unusual for something nicknamed a “jailbreak” plugin: every apply/install/rollback action takes an automatic snapshot first, every action produces visible evidence rather than “it should have worked,” and the installer refuses to touch proxies, restart DSH, or modify global npm sources. There’s even an excludePresets option so specific presets (like roleplay or minimal) can opt out of the prompt injection while keeping commands and tools.

Key highlights

• Fully local: all logic runs on your machine, no prompts or configs uploaded
• Automatic pre-action snapshots with a backup_id and rollback via the status panel
• Installer does staged diagnostics, SHA256 verification, and a system-curl fallback for flaky downloads
• Per-preset prompt exclusion (excludePresets) for parallel sessions and sub-agents
• Companion plugin dsh-qwen-studio adds local image generation (Qwen Image 2.1 via MLX on Apple Silicon, ComfyUI/vLLM on NVIDIA)

Caveats

• It’s a community fork of YuJunZhiXue’s dsh-purge — explicitly not an official release from the original author, though MIT license and attribution are preserved
• The installer isn’t hands-off: it can repair a broken app/runtime link in the desktop layout, and on read-only Linux hosts it may create a user copy of the host and switch your launcher — read the install guide before running it
• Pinned to DSH Desktop 0.2.1-rc.3 (rc.1/rc.2 also pass); other versions are unverified

Verdict

Worth a look if you run DSH locally and are tired of agents stopping to ask “should I really do this?” every thirty seconds — the snapshot/rollback discipline alone is better than most plugins in this space. If you’re hoping it changes what the model can actually do, the README is honest: it doesn’t.
