Background task status bar: task-progress UI above the chat input area — running count + expandable details + live output tail
A background-task status bar above the chat input box: running-task count + click-to-expand per-task details + live output tail (auto-polling, 10-line scrolling area). Registered through the official conversation.input.dock slot (same family as queue/todo/goal). Ships as an official bundle plugin (dsh.bundle + dshClient channel), 0 patches.
UI (chat-page dock slot):
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Status bar | Dock card above the chat input box: ⚙ N background tasks running |
| Expandable details | Click a task row to expand: status / duration / details + output tail |
| Live tail | Polls the output route every 1s while expanded, re-rendering the whole block (the mirror patch guarantees zero contention with the official task_output tool and a consistent view) |
| Scrolling area | Output area capped at 10 lines (160px); overflow becomes a scrollbar (tail keeps the end, scrollable to review) |
| Chat page only | Automatically hidden on non-Chat views (trajectory / taskboard, etc.) |
Routes (Node half):
| Route | Description |
|---|---|
/plugins/dsh-task-status/tasks |
Task list (read-only, filtered by session; owned + unowned union) |
/plugins/dsh-task-status/output |
Task output tail (full:true accumulates the full text; unknown id → 404) |
Output tail contention semantics (official 0809 API constraint): tasks.read is a consumptive, incremental read (one shared cursor per task). This plugin applies a mirror patch to ctx.tasks.read — the official read becomes buffered mirror (increments already read by others, not re-consumed) + direct read of the latest (normal consumption); the plugin's own reads go straight to the underlying rawRead. The official tool and the plugin see the same increment sequence (no duplicates, no loss); only the proactively self-read part can no longer be replayed by the official side alone (official semantics is inherently incremental, so model perception is unaffected).
Recommended: one-line install from a git source (build artifacts are committed; a git source doesn't trigger a build):
dsh plugin --profile web add "github:vlln/dsh-task-status#main" # one-line git source (build artifacts committed)
# or npm source: dsh plugin --profile web add @vlln/dsh-task-status@0.3.1Or from a local directory (when you have the source): git clone, then cd dsh-task-status && dsh plugin --profile web add ..
After installing, restart web for it to take effect; you can disable/enable it in the "Plugins" panel on the settings page.
Run a background task and the status bar appears (e.g. the model-side bash tool with run_in_background: true):
⚙ 1 background task running
● bash-1 for i in $(seq 1 20)… started 21:30:15 running
Click a task row to expand → the output tail scrolls live (a scrollbar appears once it exceeds 10 lines). The status bar disappears automatically when the task finishes.
