Final step in the v0.8.11 patch release. Bumps the workspace `Cargo.toml`, all 9 internal path-dep version pins, and `npm/deepseek-tui/package.json` to **0.8.11**. `Cargo.lock` regenerated alongside. The v0.8.11 CHANGELOG entry already landed on `main` via the cache-maxing overhaul PR (#684). This commit only stamps the version. Together they ship: * **Cache-maxing for V4 1M context** — engine no longer rebuilds the system prompt on every turn (#684's `Session::last_system_prompt_hash`), the volatile working-set summary moved out of the system prompt into per-turn `<turn_meta>` on the latest user message, the tool array is anchored with `cache_control: ephemeral`, and the `messages_with_turn_metadata` injection skips tool-result messages so the assistant→tool_result invariant stays intact. * **500K compaction floor** — automatic compaction refuses below 500K tokens via `MINIMUM_AUTO_COMPACTION_TOKENS`. Manual `/compact` bypasses (explicit user agency). * **Token-only compaction trigger** — dropped `CompactionConfig::message_threshold` and the message-count branch in `should_compact`; that 128K-era heuristic only fired on long sessions of small messages, exactly the case where rewriting the V4 prefix cache is most wasteful. * **Legacy 128K naming** — `DEFAULT_CONTEXT_WINDOW_TOKENS` → `LEGACY_DEEPSEEK_CONTEXT_WINDOW_TOKENS`. * **`npm install` resilience** — `install.js` now retries with exponential backoff, enforces per-attempt timeout + 30 s stall detector, honors `HTTPS_PROXY` / `HTTP_PROXY` / `NO_PROXY` (pure Node, no new dependencies), and prints download progress to stderr. Driven by a community report that `npm install` took 18 minutes through a CN npm mirror; the GitHub Releases binary fetch was the bottleneck and CN mirrors don't proxy GitHub. Verified locally: * cargo fmt --all -- --check ✓ * cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --locked -- -D warnings ✓ * cargo test --workspace --all-features --locked ✓ * parity gates (snapshot, parity_protocol, parity_state) ✓ * bash scripts/release/check-versions.sh ✓ (workspace=0.8.11, npm=0.8.11, lockfile in sync) * node scripts/release/npm-wrapper-smoke.js ✓ Reminder for the maintainer at release time: the npm publish is manual and requires 2FA OTP on every publish. After this PR merges and the GitHub Release is fully drafted by `auto-tag.yml`, publish from a developer machine: cd npm/deepseek-tui npm publish --access public The `prepublishOnly` hook checks all eight binaries plus the SHA256 manifest are present on the GitHub Release before letting `npm publish` proceed, so this must happen *after* the GitHub Release is finalized.

deepseek-tui
Install and run the deepseek and deepseek-tui binaries from GitHub release artifacts.
Install
npm install -g deepseek-tui
# or
pnpm add -g deepseek-tui
For project-local usage:
npm install deepseek-tui
npx deepseek-tui --help
postinstall downloads platform binaries into bin/downloads/ and exposes
deepseek and deepseek-tui commands.
First run
deepseek login --api-key "YOUR_DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"
deepseek doctor
deepseek
The deepseek facade and deepseek-tui binary share ~/.deepseek/config.toml
for DeepSeek auth and default model settings. Common TUI commands are available
directly through the facade, including deepseek doctor, deepseek models,
deepseek sessions, and deepseek resume --last.
The app talks to DeepSeek's documented OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API.
Set DEEPSEEK_BASE_URL only if you need the China endpoint or DeepSeek beta
features such as strict tool mode, chat prefix completion, or FIM completion.
NVIDIA NIM-hosted DeepSeek V4 Pro is also supported:
deepseek auth set --provider nvidia-nim --api-key "YOUR_NVIDIA_API_KEY"
deepseek --provider nvidia-nim
For a single process, set DEEPSEEK_PROVIDER=nvidia-nim and NVIDIA_API_KEY
or NVIDIA_NIM_API_KEY (with DEEPSEEK_API_KEY as a compatibility fallback).
The NIM default model is deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-pro and the default base URL
is https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/v1. With --provider nvidia-nim,
--model deepseek-v4-flash maps to deepseek-ai/deepseek-v4-flash.
Supported platforms
Prebuilt binaries for the GitHub release are downloaded automatically:
- Linux x64
- Linux arm64 (v0.8.8+)
- macOS x64 / arm64
- Windows x64
Other platform/architecture combinations (musl, riscv64, FreeBSD, …) aren't
shipped as prebuilts. The postinstall will exit with a clear error pointing
you at cargo install deepseek-tui-cli deepseek-tui --locked and the full
docs/INSTALL.md
build-from-source guide.
Configuration
- Default binary version comes from
deepseekBinaryVersioninpackage.json. - Set
DEEPSEEK_TUI_VERSIONorDEEPSEEK_VERSIONto override the release version. - Set
DEEPSEEK_TUI_GITHUB_REPOorDEEPSEEK_GITHUB_REPOto override the source repo (defaults toHmbown/DeepSeek-TUI). - Set
DEEPSEEK_TUI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD=1to force download even when the cached binary is already present. - Set
DEEPSEEK_TUI_DISABLE_INSTALL=1to skip install-time download. - Set
DEEPSEEK_TUI_OPTIONAL_INSTALL=1to make thepostinstallstep warn and exit0on download/extract errors instead of failingnpm install(useful in CI matrices).
Release integrity
npm publishruns a release-asset check to ensure all required binary assets exist for the target GitHub release before publishing.- Install-time downloads are verified against the release checksum manifest before the wrapper marks them executable.
- Set
DEEPSEEK_TUI_RELEASE_BASE_URLto point the installer at a local or staged release-asset directory for smoke tests.
