The API reaches every open session once enabled, the app runs only on macOS, and none of the last 35 CI runs on the main branch passed.\n\n**DeepSeek Harness (dsh).** Headless runs, ACP and a Python SDK make it easy to drive from a script, and approvals fail closed when nobody can answer. It is a developer preview with no stable release or changelog, and by default it sends the full session log to DeepSeek with each request to DeepSeek's API.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### CLI Manager\n\n1. Ask the user to switch on Settings \u003e Agents \u003e AI Control API first, then read the URL and token from `~/.climanager/control-api.json`\n2. On `409 awaiting_input`, read the screen and answer with `keys` such as [\"down\",\"enter\"]. Leave folder-trust and permission choices to the user\n3. Stop using a session on `409 disconnected`. The user took it back\n4. Treat `timedOut: true` from `wait` as still running, not as a failure, and wait again\n5. Pass `ephemeral: true` when opening a scratch or worktree folder, and close only sessions you opened\n\n### DeepSeek Harness (dsh)\n\n1. Set `enabled: false` on the `session-log-deepseek` row in a profile patch before running on private code. Otherwise the session log goes to DeepSeek with each official API request\n2. Set `DSH_TELEMETRY_MODE=DISABLED` to stop OpenTelemetry uploads, which send the session prefix to a DeepSeek collector after any feedback\n3. Treat exit code 1 and the `turn_end` reason as failure. A `--json` stream can end with a `final` event for a failed run\n4. Run in a disposable container or VM. The sandbox doesn't confine reads or network, and SAFETY.md says the project has had no security audit\n5. Pin the version. npm `latest` (0.2.0-rc.2) and `next` (0.2.1-rc.2) differ, DeepSeek's changelog asks for 0.2.1-rc.1 or later, and the README warns of breaking changes\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, CLI Manager or DeepSeek Harness (dsh)?\n\nCLI Manager scores 65.8 (B) on agent readiness against DeepSeek Harness (dsh)'s 49.2 (D), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. DeepSeek Harness (dsh) leads on agent ergonomics and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Are CLI Manager and DeepSeek Harness (dsh) open source?\n\nYes. CLI Manager is open source (MIT).
