Still no non-prerelease tag; the project split into an rc line and an alpha line, and npm latest moved to 0.1.5-rc.2 by hand. There are now two preview streams: rc builds (0.1.5-rc.2 is the newest in window) and faster alpha builds (0.1.6-alpha.2), each with its own dist-tag. latest was promoted to 0.1.5-rc.2 outside the publish script, so the registry does not record when. At window close, applying the script’s rules to publish times, next resolved to 0.1.5-rc.2 and alpha to 0.1.6-alpha.2 (inferred, not observed on 2026-09-21).
Channel: preview-or-beta. Half: neither (channel). Date: 2026-08-21 to 2026-09-17.
Operator consequence: npx @deepseek-ai/dsh web installs 0.1.5-rc.2, still a release candidate. Pin @0.1.5-rc.2 explicitly; do not float on @alpha, which carries the telemetry default in section 4. Nothing here is a stable channel. Re-check next window for a non-prerelease tag and for who moves latest.
