Pause / resume / cancel the in-flight conversation task from the composer area: forced pause interrupts immediately and remembers the interrupted tool, safe pause lands after the tool or reasoning finishes, resume asks for confirmation, and the default pause granularity is configurable in the settings.

README
Table of contents
English | 中文
Adds task pause, resume, and cancel controls to DSH Web. Supports safe and force pause, then resumes from the pause point without repeating completed work.
Compatible with DSH v0.1.x and v0.2.x.
Installation
dsh plugin --profile web add github:p2coder/dsh-task-control
After installation, fully restart dsh web, then refresh the browser.
Quick start
Three persistent buttons appear beside the input box while a task is running:
| Button | Action | Available when |
|---|---|---|
| ⏸ Pause | Pause using the configured default | Running |
| ▶ Resume | Continue from the pause point | Paused |
| ⏹ Cancel | Stop the current turn immediately | Running or paused |
Gray buttons are unavailable; dark buttons are clickable.

Pause modes
| Mode | Behavior | Best for |
|---|---|---|
safe wait (default) |
Waits for reasoning and tools to finish naturally | Long tasks, migrations, tests |
safe stop |
Waits for tools, but may interrupt current reasoning | Faster pauses |
force |
Immediately interrupts reasoning and in-flight tools | Emergencies |
Change the default under Settings → Task control. Saving applies it immediately:

Commands

Plugin API
Get the service with ctx.get("taskControl"):
| API | Action |
|---|---|
pause(sessionId, options?) |
Pause a task |
resume(sessionId, options?) |
Resume a task |
cancel(sessionId) |
Cancel a task |
state(sessionId) |
Read idle, running, or offline status and pause details |
Pause state is stored under ~/.dsh/task-control/ and survives restarts. Tests can override the directory with DSH_TASK_CONTROL_STATE_DIR.
Notes
| Situation | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Force pause | A tool may have partial side effects; choose re-run, skip, or stay paused before resuming |
Deferred tools under safe wait |
Resume requires choosing re-run or skip |
| New messages while paused | Start a new turn; pause controls only the current turn |
| Scheduled reminders | Due dsh-schedule reminders still wake the session |
| Subagents | Already-dispatched subagents are not interrupted with the parent |
| State sync | The browser polls every 2 seconds; restart dsh web after plugin changes |
