| Best use | Best for a developer using DeepSeek Harness who wants session files, changes, and parallel jobs visible beside the conversation. It adds session-specific context and separates Side Chat questions from the main flow. It is not a standalone full IDE and requires a compatible DSH release. | Use it when DSH sessions pile up and you need to identify old work, archive it first, then safely remove what is no longer needed while protecting running sessions. It fits recurring cleanup and finished projects; do not enable automatic deletion before previewing the policy and checking backups. | Best for an individual developer or small team that needs encrypted, testable backups of project files and exported database dumps. It works with local or remote storage and can be scheduled by the operating system. It does not replace application-consistent database exports or recovery testing. |
