  - ds-bot/dev/desktop-linux/launch.mts follows the steps of
    apps/desktop/scripts/dev.ts in DeepSeek Harness and reuses a few of its
    lines (the release record and the Electron launch arguments). It is a
    developer script for screenshots on Linux and is not in the npm package.

Projects that gave us ideas (no code copied)
==============================================================================

We thank these projects for the designs they published. DS Bot learned from
their ideas; it does not contain their code.

  - AgentMemoryRepo (https://github.com/AgentMemoryRepo/agentmemoryrepo), MIT:
    the Markdown format of Bot memory (one entry per line with [key: value]
    metadata, a MEMORY.md index that links topic files).
  - OpenAI Codex (https://github.com/openai/codex), Apache-2.0:
    keeping the user's messages next to the summary in a checkpoint, and
    message anchors for searching earlier chat.
  - OpenMausBot (https://github.com/milind-soni/OpenMausBot), Apache-2.0:
    group chat rounds and @mention relays between Bots.
  - Hermes Agent (https://github.com/NousResearch/hermes-agent) and
    Hermes Bot Mode (https://github.com/NousResearch/Hermes-Bot-Mode), MIT:
    one Session per member per group chat, and the list of earlier user
    messages that the plugin, not the model, writes into the handoff.
  - OpenCode (https://github.com/sst/opencode), MIT;
    goose (https://github.com/block/goose), Apache-2.0;
    pi (https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono), MIT;
    Gemini CLI (https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli), Apache-2.0:
    when to condense a long conversation, and what a handoff note holds.
  - obelisk (https://github.com/tommy0103/obelisk), AGPL-3.0:
    searching a Bot's own chat with a SQLite FTS5 index ranked by BM25.
  - DeepSeek Harness Voice Input plugin
    (packages/experimental/client-ui-voice-input), MIT: the voice chat
    records with the same steps (record, resample to 16 kHz mono, PCM16 WAV)
    before it calls the plugin's speech service.
