dsh-model-failover DSH plugin
dsh-model-failover is an installable DeepSeek Harness plugin that monitors agent-loop model request failures, opens model or provider-level circuits, and routes subsequent requests to healthy configured fallbacks. It includes a bundled skill for configuring fallback models.

What the dsh-model-failover DSH plugin can do
- Opens a circuit for a provider/model route after repeated configured failures within a burst window.
- Opens a provider-level circuit when multiple distinct models from that provider are open.
- Routes requests to the first healthy route in an ordered fallback list.
- Probes open model circuits after cooldown and closes them after a successful probe.
- Works alongside the bundled llm-retry policy by observing failures that escape retry handling.
- Emits typed circuit, failover, and probe events.
- Bundles the configure-model-failover skill when the skills service is available.
Where the dsh-model-failover DSH plugin fits
- Keep agent conversations running when a primary model is rate-limited, unavailable, times out, or returns other configured transient errors.
- Configure alternate providers or models for resilience during model or provider outages.
- Notify users and observe route changes through plugin events.
Who the dsh-model-failover DSH plugin is for
- DeepSeek Harness operators configuring multiple model routes.
- Developers building DSH workflows that need model-request failover behavior.
dsh-model-failover DSH plugin limitations
- Circuit state is process-local, stored in memory, and resets when the plugin reloads.
- Only main agent-loop calls covered by agent/request are routed; auxiliary calls such as session-title, compaction, and hand-built ctx.llm.stream calls are excluded.
- With retryPolicy.mode set to 'always', llm-retry does not delegate failures to the breaker, leaving failover inactive by design.
- Fallbacks with smaller context windows can still return CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED.
- Provider-level circuits recover on cooldown expiry; the plugin does not probe provider circuits.
