Anionex/dsh-turn-rewind
Rewind conversation and workspace state, powered by a persistent Change Ledger.
Install
via npm
Resolves a published tarball rather than cloning the repository, and installs without any extra setup. Swap `web` for your profile name if you run another one.
via GitHub · npm package
Installing from GitHub runs the project's build script, which pnpm blocks until you allowlist it — run the command once and pnpm prints the exact key to add under `allowBuilds` in ~/.dsh/profiles/web/pnpm-workspace.yaml.

Every command here is run in a throwaway container against a clean profile, and the result is whatever the harness recorded — not a guess from the source. Last run yesterday.
Due diligence
What it is — dsh-turn-rewind adds a rewind icon after each user message in DeepSeek Harness, supporting project file recovery via the Change Ledger with optional restart from the restored request.
Who it is for — When using DeepSeek Harness with the Agent service in a web profile for iterative project development, this plugin captures checkpoints to support message-anchored recovery. If the profile does not provide the DSH Agent service, the plugin is not needed, as checkpoints are not captured there.
Watch out — Sandbox testing passed. The plugin was installed in a fresh profile and registered by Harness. No obvious issues were found.
The verdict — I would install it in workflows requiring message-based file recovery, because the Change Ledger maintains durable restore points with human approval before any change.
Generated by grok-4.6, and a starting point rather than a verdict. Where it says a plugin installs or does not, that is from a real run in a clean profile — everything else is read off the repository. Trust the source over this.
dsh-turn-rewind is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that restores project files to the state before a selected user message and can restart the conversation from that point. It adds a Rewind action to direct user messages in the Web profile. Before the Agent processes the opening message, it uses the first agent/pre-step waterfall hook to capture a hidden checkpoint. For later messages, the same-origin /turn-rewind endpoint resolves the selected user/message sequence, reads the saved workspace state, and creates a short-lived, session-bound restore plan with a paged file preview.
The underlying ctx.changeLedger service stores content-addressed restore-point manifests. At apply time, it checks the selected paths and Git worktree, HEAD, branch, and in-progress-operation fence again, creates a rescue point, restores files, then verifies their hashes. Restore must follow the final confirmation in the dialog or an explicit service call; it does not commit, stash, reset, switch branches, or edit the Git index.
dsh-turn-rewind is intended for sessions working in ordinary Git worktrees where file recovery and optional conversation restart are useful. It is the wrong choice for sparse checkouts, submodule gitlinks, ignored files, special files, non-Git directories, or restoration of Git metadata and index state. When files already match the earlier state, the README directs users to DSH’s native Branch action for conversation-only branching.
In a Web profile, each direct user message receives an icon-only Rewind action. The dialog resolves the selected user/message sequence, previews affected files, and mints an expiring, session-bound plan without changing files. The plan supports restoring files only, or restoring files and creating a new Session ending before the message while returning its text to the composer. A running Agent using the same worktree blocks restoration.
When the DSH Agent service is available, the first agent/pre-step waterfall in a session captures a hidden checkpoint before the opening user message. A capture failure is reported but does not reject the turn. The Web /turn-rewind endpoint delegates child creation to DSH’s official Host create/fork lifecycle.
The ctx.changeLedger service owns content-addressed restore-point manifests and durable recovery state. Before mutation it creates a rescue point, rechecks the reviewed paths and Git state, restores the selected files, and verifies hashes afterwards. Failed restores can roll back, and interrupted restore journals are reconciled at startup. The format is documented in docs/FORMAT.md; the security and failure model is in SECURITY.md.
The package is a DSH Profile Bundle. package.json declares dsh.bundle.patch, while cordis.patch.yml mounts @anionex/dsh-turn-rewind without a DSH core patch. Add the bundle to each profile that should expose the service, then restart a running profile after changing its bundle list.
Version 0.1 supports normal Git worktrees, including tracked files, missing tracked paths, non-ignored untracked files, regular text or binary files, symbolic links, and portable permission bits. It rejects sparse checkouts, submodule gitlinks, ignored files, special files, non-Git directories, and unsupported replacement paths. It does not snapshot the Git index or repository metadata, extended attributes, ACLs, ownership, timestamps, or hard-link topology. Git commits, branches, HEAD, the index, and stashes remain untouched.
