Hunter Bown
b7bd02d814
Adds first-class DeepSeek V4 Pro and Flash support, updates the default model to deepseek-v4-pro, aligns legacy aliases with the current V4 1M context behavior, and fixes thinking-mode request handling. Key fixes: - Send DeepSeek's raw Chat Completions `thinking` parameter at the top level instead of SDK-only `extra_body`. - Preserve assistant `reasoning_content` for all prior thinking-mode tool-call turns so subsequent requests satisfy DeepSeek V4's replay requirement. - Fix npm wrapper concurrent first-run downloads by using per-process temporary download paths. - Add `.mailmap` so historical bot-attributed commits aggregate under Hunter Bown where mailmap is honored. Verified with the full local Rust gate, live DeepSeek V4 smoke, npm wrapper temp-install smoke, and green PR CI across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

# Modes and Approvals
|
||
|
||
DeepSeek TUI has two related concepts:
|
||
|
||
- **TUI mode**: what kind of visible interaction you’re in (Plan/Agent/YOLO).
|
||
- **Approval mode**: how aggressively the UI asks before executing tools.
|
||
|
||
## TUI Modes
|
||
|
||
Press `Tab` to cycle through the visible modes: **Plan → Agent → YOLO → Plan**.
|
||
Press `Shift+Tab` to cycle in reverse.
|
||
|
||
- **Plan**: design-first prompting. Read-only investigation tools stay available, but shell and patch execution stay off.
|
||
- **Agent**: multi-step tool use. Approvals for shell and paid tools (file writes are allowed without a prompt).
|
||
- **YOLO**: enables shell + trust mode and auto-approves all tools. Use only in trusted repos.
|
||
|
||
## Compatibility Notes
|
||
|
||
- `/normal` is a hidden compatibility alias that switches to `Agent`.
|
||
- Older settings files with `default_mode = "normal"` still load as `agent`; saving rewrites the normalized value.
|
||
|
||
## Escape Key Behavior
|
||
|
||
`Esc` is a cancel stack, not a mode switch.
|
||
|
||
- Close slash menus or transient UI first.
|
||
- Cancel the active request if a turn is running.
|
||
- Discard a queued draft if the composer is empty.
|
||
- Clear the current input if text is present.
|
||
- Otherwise it is a no-op.
|
||
|
||
## Approval Mode
|
||
|
||
You can override approval behavior at runtime:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
/config
|
||
# edit the approval_mode row to: suggest | auto | never
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Legacy note: `/set approval_mode ...` was retired in favor of `/config`.
|
||
|
||
- `suggest` (default): uses the per-mode rules above.
|
||
- `auto`: auto-approves all tools (similar to YOLO approval behavior, but without forcing YOLO mode).
|
||
- `never`: blocks any tool that isn’t considered safe/read-only.
|
||
|
||
## Small-Screen Status Behavior
|
||
|
||
When terminal height is constrained, the status area compacts first so header/chat/composer/footer remain visible:
|
||
|
||
- Loading and queued status rows are budgeted by available height.
|
||
- Queued previews collapse to compact summaries when full previews do not fit.
|
||
- `/queue` workflows remain available; compact status only affects rendering density.
|
||
|
||
## Workspace Boundary and Trust Mode
|
||
|
||
By default, file tools are restricted to the `--workspace` directory. Enable trust mode to allow file access outside the workspace:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
/trust
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
YOLO mode enables trust mode automatically.
|
||
|
||
## MCP Behavior
|
||
|
||
MCP tools are exposed as `mcp_<server>_<tool>` and use the same approval flow as built-in tools. Read-only MCP helpers may auto-run in suggestive approval modes; MCP tools with possible side effects require approval.
|
||
|
||
See `MCP.md`.
|
||
|
||
## Related CLI Flags
|
||
|
||
Run `deepseek --help` for the canonical list. Common flags:
|
||
|
||
- `-p, --prompt <TEXT>`: one-shot prompt mode (prints and exits)
|
||
- `--model <MODEL>`: when using the `deepseek` facade, forward a DeepSeek model override to the TUI
|
||
- `--workspace <DIR>`: workspace root for file tools
|
||
- `--yolo`: start in YOLO mode
|
||
- `-r, --resume <ID|PREFIX|latest>`: resume a saved session
|
||
- `-c, --continue`: resume the most recent session
|
||
- `--max-subagents <N>`: clamp to `1..=20`
|
||
- `--profile <NAME>`: select config profile
|
||
- `--config <PATH>`: config file path
|
||
- `-v, --verbose`: verbose logging
