dsh-tendedero

Hang DSH follow-up questions on a clothesline above the window — inspired by alejandrobujan/tendedero.

Live demo: https://lark980-web.github.io/FloatCard/ — the real client bundle against a mock host, so you can try the whole interaction without DSH.

Source: https://github.com/lark980-web/FloatCard · npm package: dsh-tendedero (publish pending npm credentials).

What it does

• After each completed turn, the plugin asks the session's current model for three short follow-up questions and hangs one card per question, each on its own clothespin.
• Click a card to send that question as your next message; the whole batch is then pulled off the line to the right, picked card first.
• Hover or rest the pointer anywhere on the top strip (full width, ~48px deep, including the title bar and both corners) to glide the line back down; move away and it tucks up.
• Agent ask_user_question cards hang on the same line; left-over questions can be answered on the card, live ones hand back to the composer.
• Batches survive a page reload / session re-entry for ~6 minutes; they are cleared when the session starts working again, when a real question appears, on ×, or on expiry.
• Light/dark theme aware; respects prefers-reduced-motion.

Install (DSH)

Add the package to a profile and enable the bundle, then pnpm install in the profile dir:

// ~/.dsh/profiles/<profile>/package.json
{
  "dependencies": { "dsh-tendedero": "^0.4.2" },
  "dsh": { "profile": { "bundles": ["…", "dsh-tendedero"] } }
}

Or from the DSH Plugins page once published to npm. Restart DSH after first install (the host Remote row is added by the bundle patch).

Configuration

Optional override in the profile's cordis.patch.yml:

- id: dsh-tendedero
  name: dsh-tendedero
  config:
    enabled: true        # master switch
    maxQuestions: 3      # cards per batch (1-5)
    provider: null       # pin the generation model; defaults to the session's model
    model: null
    timeoutMs: 45000

The hover trigger depth is TRIGGER_DEPTH at the top of lib/client.js.

How it works

• Host half (lib/index.js, lib/remote.js): a tendedero/suggest Remote method reads the latest user/assistant messages and generates questions through the shared ctx.llm service.
• Client half (lib/client.js): a lazy-CJS module-loader bundle, no build step and no runtime dependencies. It watches userQuestions/inbox projections and sessionStatus, renders the clothesline in plain DOM/CSS, and sends picks via session/prompt.
• Dynamically mounted Remote namespaces are read with ctx.get() (Cordis only allows property reads for keys declared in inject).

Development / tests

index.html is a standalone harness that mirrors the host's Cordis inject rule and the {ok,value} Remote envelope. 31 state assertions (hover recall, dismissal, reload/re-entry restore, running-session sweep, reconnect) were run against it with ego-browser during development.
