Identity Sentinel · 身份哨兵

⚠ CONSENT / 知情同意: Installing this plugin means you have read this README and agree: the plugin inspects your machine's local signals (locale, language, timezone, keyboard layout, region format — all purely local, zero network requests). If the composite verdict is "not Chinese" (mainland / Hong Kong / Macau / Taiwan), the plugin terminates all workflows. If the verdict is Chinese, it does nothing. 安装本插件即视为已知情并同意上述行为。

THIS IS A PERFORMANCE ART PIECE. This is not security tooling and not policy. It is a mirror held up to the idea that a machine can — or should — judge the nationality of its operator.

How it works

1. On startup the plugin collects four local signals — never sent anywhere:
   • locale — system language / locale (LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG, Intl locale)
   • timezone — e.g. Asia/Shanghai, Asia/Hong_Kong, Asia/Taipei, Asia/Macau
   • keyboard — keyboard layout (XKBLAYOUT on Linux, defaults on macOS, registry on Windows)
   • region — region part of the Intl locale (CN, HK, MO, TW)
2. Signals are aggregated into an identity profile with a confidence score.
3. A weighted rule engine renders a verdict:
   • non-cn signals >= threshold (default 2) and forceTerminate on → terminate
   • otherwise → pass (nothing happens)
4. On terminate: an art banner, the manifesto, and a termination declaration are printed; the process exits with code 1. On pass: a banner is printed and a single introspection tool (system_identity) is registered — nothing else changes.

Ambiguous or undetectable signals never count toward the threshold. Each failing collector degrades gracefully and is logged.

Install

# via the dsh plugin manager
dsh plugin add <path-to-this-package>

# or with a patch overlay on the web profile
npx @deepseek-ai/dsh --profile web --patch <abs-path>/cordis.patch.yml

pnpm users need the upstream peer fix (the official latest train still declares the unpublished @deepseek-ai/dsh-type-meta — see deepseek-harness discussion #2862):

# pnpm-workspace.yaml
overrides:
  "@deepseek-ai/dsh-type-meta": "npm:@deepseek-ai/[email protected]"

Tool

system_identity — asks the machine for its current verdict about its owner: identity (cn / non-cn / unknown), action, confidence, and the full signal list.

Embed

The core is a zero-dependency pure-function library — import it from any project:

import {
  collectSystemLocale, collectTimezone, collectKeyboard, collectRegion,
  aggregateIdentity, decide, renderArt,
} from '@dsh-io/identity-sentinel'

Configuration

| Option | Type | Default | Meaning | |---|---|---|---| | threshold | number | 2 | Non-CN signals required to terminate | | artMode | boolean | true | Print the art banners | | forceTerminate | boolean | true | Actually exit (code 1) on a non-CN verdict; false = banners only |
