abstract
We present a six-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supersymmetric higher gauge theory in which self-duality is consistently implemented by physically trivial additional fields. The action contains both $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ tensor and vector multiplets and is non-trivially interacting. The tensor multiplet part is loosely related to a recently proposed action by Sen that leads to on-shell self-duality in an elegant way. As we also show, Sen's action finds a very natural and direct interpretation from a homotopy algebraic perspective.

Adjusting Higher Chern-Simons Theory
The authors introduce half-adjusted higher Chern-Simons theories, obtained by a cotangent completion of adjusted L8-algebras, which admit consistent gauge transformations and equations of motion implying full flatness.
