Installation safety

No plugin-specific security assessment was collected. The following is generic DeepSeek Harness installation guidance, not a safety rating or audit conclusion for this plugin.

Third-party plugins can execute code inside your Harness environment. Before installation, review the source, recent activity, dependencies, build scripts, and requested permissions, then test in an isolated environment. Directory inclusion is not a security certification.

Git installs may execute prepare/build scripts on your machine, outside the agent sandbox. Only allow trusted source and pin a commit where possible.

Common errors and troubleshooting

No plugin-specific error documentation was collected. The steps below are generic DeepSeek Harness troubleshooting, not fixes verified for this plugin.

1. 1. Plugin missing after installation

   Confirm installation and launch use the same profile, then run dsh --profile web --dump-config to check whether the bundle entered the composed configuration.

2. 2. Git dependency build is blocked

   pnpm 10+ may block prepare scripts. Only after reviewing the source, add the exact package key reported by pnpm to allowBuilds, then retry.

3. 3. Version or configuration mismatch

   Check the repository README, releases, and compatibility evidence. Do not treat directory-wide commands as promises from the plugin author.
