Project Overview
A ceremonial startup animation usually means playing a video or hard-coding frames, with no skipping and no editable copy. dsh-startup-screen renders a six-act sequence live on Canvas instead: brand mark, overexposed wash, warm-white archive panel, five-step access authorization, and a chromatic-aberration reveal, paced by audio duration, with every step interactive, skippable (Esc works), and re-wordable. Chinese text uses a real 500 weight without per-character blur, over a live light field of stardust, bezier streaks, data rain, and a bottom waterline.
Interactive from blackout to reveal, a startup sequence with real ceremony.
Supported Hosts
- DeepSeek Harness desktop: the desktop profile, installed in the Electron environment
- web profile: shares the same plugin package with the desktop
- Tested platform: verified on Windows 11 with Edge/Electron, macOS and Linux unverified
- Chinese fonts: prefers Noto Sans SC, falling back to PingFang SC and Microsoft YaHei
Key Features
- Six-act sequence: brand mark, overexposed wash, archive panel, five-step authorization, and reveal, paced by audio duration
- Living background: Canvas stardust and streaks run constantly, dimming near the center so titles stay readable
- Real audio plus synthesis: uses real assets when present, falling back to TTS or WebAudio synthesis otherwise
- 33 settings: identity name, serial, clearance level, palette, speed, voice, line-by-line copy, all effective immediately
- Real self-check: the five SELF-CHECK items on the right read from host context, not decoration

Notes
- Asset boundary: the repo ships no original lines, sound effects, or commercial BGM, only the author's recorded final welcome line, degrading gracefully without assets
- Community work: unaffiliated with DeepSeek, MIT code, modified from upstream 1.1.0 with original copyright kept
- Testing bar: visual changes need screenshots checked against both themes, and all 352 smoke assertions green before delivery
