Picks up the v0.8.10 patch release contents:
* Daemon API quartet for whalescale-desktop integration (#561-#564,
  PR #567).
* Bug cluster: macOS seatbelt cargo registry (#558), MCP SIGTERM
  shutdown (#420), Linux PR_SET_PDEATHSIG (#421).
* npm install on older glibc fix (#555/#560 via #556 + #565).
* Shell cwd workspace-boundary validation (#524).
* Memory help/docs polish (#497 via #569).
* Onboarding language picker (#566).

First-time contributors credited in CHANGELOG: @staryxchen,
@shentoumengxin, @Vishnu1837, @20bytes.

Workspace `Cargo.toml`, all 9 internal path-dep version pins, and
`npm/deepseek-tui/package.json` all bumped to 0.8.10. `Cargo.lock`
regenerated and committed alongside.

Verified locally:
* cargo fmt --all -- --check
* cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --locked -- -D warnings
* cargo test --workspace --all-features --locked
* bash scripts/release/check-versions.sh

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 deepseekBinaryVersion in package.json.
Set DEEPSEEK_TUI_VERSION or DEEPSEEK_VERSION to override the release version.
Set DEEPSEEK_TUI_GITHUB_REPO or DEEPSEEK_GITHUB_REPO to override the source repo (defaults to Hmbown/DeepSeek-TUI).
Set DEEPSEEK_TUI_FORCE_DOWNLOAD=1 to force download even when the cached binary is already present.
Set DEEPSEEK_TUI_DISABLE_INSTALL=1 to skip install-time download.
Set DEEPSEEK_TUI_OPTIONAL_INSTALL=1 to make the postinstall step warn and exit 0 on download/extract errors instead of failing npm install (useful in CI matrices).

Release integrity

npm publish runs 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_URL to point the installer at a local or staged release-asset directory for smoke tests.
