dsh-llm-local-token

A DeepSeek Harness plugin that serves LLM
calls with the OAuth tokens your local CLIs already hold — no separate API key, no extra
login. If you are signed in to the Codex CLI or to Claude Code, those subscriptions become
usable model routes inside DSH.

Both routes appear in the model picker as soon as the plugin loads. A route whose credential is
missing is skipped instead of failing the boot.

Subscription usage, read from provider rate-limit headers

Why it exists

DSH resolves a provider's key through its credential seam, which expects an API key. Personal
Codex / Claude subscriptions are OAuth-only, so the keys simply do not exist. This plugin
resolves the token per request from the file the CLI maintains, refreshes it when it is close to
expiry, and hands it to the pi-ai engine that DSH already ships.

Install

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-llm-local-token

# or straight from git
dsh plugin --profile web add https://github.com/tianxia--/dsh-llm-local-token.git

Then restart dsh — that is the whole install. The package declares a profile
bundle (dsh.bundle.patch → cordis.patch.yml), so DSH
inserts the loader row for you; you do not have to hand-edit the profile's
own cordis.patch.yml.

To make it the default model:

# ~/.dsh/settings.yaml
agent-default-model:
  provider: openai-codex
  model: gpt-5.6-terra
  reasoningEffort: medium

Configuration

All keys are optional; the defaults match a stock CLI install.

Subscription usage badge

Both providers return their quota state in response headers, so the plugin reads it for free —
no polling, no extra endpoint hits. A badge appears in the composer bar next to the context
ring; click it for the breakdown.

The badge is green under 60%, amber under 85%, red above. Usage is whatever the last real
request reported, so a freshly started host shows "no data yet" until you send one message.
The browser half polls GET /llm-local-token/usage every 15s; that route only reads the
in-memory snapshot.

The badge shows only the provider serving the currently selected model: pick Codex and you see
Codex's windows, switch to Claude and it swaps — the two are never mixed into one number. When the
selected model belongs to another adapter (a plain API key, another plugin) the badge hides itself,
because that quota is not this plugin's to report. The popover still lists every route, with the
active one first and marked "current" and the rest dimmed. The selection comes from
ctx.modelDirectories; a composition without that service (non-Web) falls back to the previous
union-of-all-routes view.

Requirements

• Node.js 22.13+ (DSH's own floor; --use-system-ca needs it too)
• dsh-base in the profile — it already provides @deepseek-ai/dsh-llm-pi-ai and @earendil-works/pi-ai
• A signed-in CLI: codex login for the Codex route; Claude Code for the Anthropic route
• The Claude Keychain lookup is macOS-only. On Linux/Windows only the file store is consulted.

Token handling

• Read per request, never cached in memory beyond the call
• Refreshed when less than 5 minutes of life remain, then written back to the same file the
  CLI reads, so the CLI stays logged in (single-flight: concurrent requests trigger one refresh)
• Written atomically with 0600 permissions
• Never logged, never sent anywhere except the provider endpoint

Troubleshooting

UNABLE_TO_GET_ISSUER_CERT_LOCALLY

Your traffic goes through a TLS-inspecting proxy (Zscaler, Netskope, corporate MITM). Node does
not trust its root CA even when the OS does. Start DSH with either:

node --use-system-ca …                          # trust the OS store (Node 22.13+)
NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/path/to/root-ca.pem dsh …  # or point at the proxy's root cert

Provider is not configured: openai-codex

Means the pi-ai provider refused an API-key override. This plugin already attaches an api-key
auth method to the OAuth-only Codex provider; seeing this error again implies a pi-ai version
whose resolveProviderAuth changed — open an issue with your @earendil-works/pi-ai version.

The model list shows no Codex/Claude entries

Check the boot log for llm-local-token: registered …. If it names only openai-codex, no
Claude credential was found (expected when Claude Code was never used on this machine).

Caveats

• Uses your personal subscription quota (ChatGPT Plus/Pro, Claude Pro/Max). Respect the
  provider's terms; this is not a way to share one seat across a team.
• chatgpt.com/backend-api is the Codex client's own endpoint, not a documented public API. It
  can change without notice; pin the pi-ai version if you need stability.
