TurnNavigator was an unmemoized component rendering one div and one button per loaded Turn, so every ChatView render rebuilt the whole rail: 143 button rebuilds per commit in a 300-Turn session against 8.4 in a 4-Turn one, while a streaming answer commits dozens of times. memo alone would not have helped, because navigateToTurn was rebuilt on every render and broke prop identity, so it moves into useCallback.

| Package map for the web GUI browser half: shell boot, browser-host communication, shared client services, localization, development reload, and the UI feature plugins. | package-group |
client/ — web-GUI browser half
English | 中文
Summary
The client/ group runs the browser half of the dsh web GUI: it boots the web shell, loads browser-side plugin modules, keeps browser-to-host RPC and event delivery alive, and provides the shared client services and UI feature plugins that render the application. UI features compose through the slot system — each plugin fills declared extension slots with typed props and stores, and the shell renders the assembled tree. All packages here are product packages named @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-<name>; the host half that serves the page lives in host/. Authoring rules live in AGENTS.md, and the module graph, slot model, and object layer are documented in the related notes below.

Start with the subsystem reference and the two notes that own the cross-package composition decisions, then the host half that serves this page.
- Client modules subsystem — the web plugin table:
dsh.clientdeclarations, the boot graph wire, and the bundle route. - Slot system standard — the definitive slot model: registration, props shares, and stores.
- Web client architecture note — the loading chain, object layer, and client services.
- Host group map — the host half that serves this browser half.
