worried the shutoff might leak? yeah those look like they would work

No, the supply line splits right at the shutoff valve. With no dishwasher attached the water will continue to flow out the supply line if the water is on and not capped. If the water is turned off then we get no hot water to the faucet.

You need a cap for a compression fitting. I think it's 3/8" on a dishwasher, might be 1/4".
