npm Registry

Domain: Installation & Setup

Motivation

The npm registry is where @deepseek-ai/* packages and a profile’s out-of-tree dependencies are fetched from. Bundles first resolve from the dsh installation, then from the profile’s own node_modules, which pnpm populates from the registry. A developer cares because install and plugin updates need network access to this registry.

Concrete Example

Profile node_modules are filled by pnpm pulling @deepseek-ai/* packages from the registry.

Analogy

Like the storehouse a builder pulls all their parts from.
