DSH v0.2.1-alpha.5: Model Labels Slot, Fixes (Oct 17, 2026)

v0.2.1-alpha.5: A Slot for Per-Provider Model Labels in the Composer, Plus Session-Menu, Terminal, PTC Mode and Page Up Fixes.

v0.2.1-alpha.4 carried this site’s release coverage into October 16 — and the 0.2.1 line moved again the same day: v0.2.1-alpha.5 published 2026-10-16 12:23 UTC with the Pre-release flag, about 23 hours after alpha.4 and the third consecutive day with an alpha.

The one change plugin authors get

The release’s single Chores item adds the conversation.input.model.label Slot: plugins can customize how model labels are displayed per provider in the composer’s model selector (by @LegGasai). That is the entire section — one line, one extension point.

The fix list

Four fixes make up the Bug Fixes section. The skill list in an open session’s / menu now updates after a plugin is enabled or disabled on the Plugins page, instead of going stale (by @grllll). Terminals issue fewer redundant queries when created or restored in numbers, and a failed terminal stops retrying repeatedly once you switch panels (by @LegGasai). PTC Mode gets its incomplete guidance filled in, and model identity prompts now say the same thing across the SDK, Web and headless profiles (by @koalazf99). And Page Up in a text input no longer drags the whole interface to the left on Windows and Linux when the right sidebar is collapsed (by @imccyu).

Five listed changes, four contributors: LegGasai (the Slot, the terminal fix), grllll (session menu), koalazf99 (PTC Mode, model identity) and imccyu (Page Up). The full bilingual notes are on the release page linked above.
