   Reinstall did it now.

   brew uninstall opencode
   brew install opencode

   My coworker had the same issue @nejch

   If it helps, in my case this seems to always be the last file I had open in the active tab in my IDE (Zed), but it persists after closing the editor as well. I checked there were no related running processes from what I could see.

   I assume that was also the case for you @max-wittig but with vscode or so.

   Could it be that this strongly interferes with the quality of the session with regard to input context? I see very bad results in sessions having this issue.

   I have the same problem. Opened Zed to see the new parallel agents interface and tried it in a session and now it seems to have stuck with a file in context.

   If someone finds a way to fix this without installing opencode from scratch would be much appreciated.

   I found a more targeted workaround than reinstalling.
   On macOS, OpenCode can fall back to reading the current Zed selection from:

   ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zed/db/0-stable/db.sqlite

   If that sqlite state is stale, OpenCode keeps injecting the old file/selection into new sessions.
   Inspect it

   sqlite3 "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Zed/db/0-stable/db.sqlite" "
   SELECT
     e.item_id,
     e.workspace_id,
     e.buffer_path,
     s.start,
     s.end,
     w.paths,
     w.timestamp
   FROM items i
   JOIN panes p
     ON p.pane_id = i.pane_id AND p.workspace_id = i.workspace_id
   JOIN workspaces w
     ON w.workspace_id = i.workspace_id
   JOIN editors e
     ON e.item_id = i.item_id AND e.workspace_id = i.workspace_id
   LEFT JOIN editor_selections s
     ON s.editor_id = e.item_id AND s.workspace_id = e.workspace_id
   WHERE i.active = 1
     AND p.active = 1
     AND i.kind = 'Editor'
     AND e.buffer_path IS NOT NULL
   ORDER BY w.timestamp DESC;
   "

   If you see the stale file there, that’s likely what OpenCode is picking up.
   Clear just that selection
   Backup first:

   sqlite3 "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Zed/db/0-stable/db.sqlite" \
     ".backup '$HOME/Library/Application Support/Zed/db/0-stable/db.sqlite.backup'"

   Then delete the matching selection row using the item_id + workspace_id from the query above:

   sqlite3 "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Zed/db/0-stable/db.sqlite" "
   DELETE FROM editor_selections
   WHERE editor_id = ITEM_ID
     AND workspace_id = WORKSPACE_ID;
   "

   Restart OpenCode after that.
   This fixed it for me without reinstalling.

   It's just working! Pretty smart solution.

   In any case .. I know this stuff is all open source back and forth, but I really wonder how these issues make it into a release 😢

    Any reason why the bug label has been removed. It is a bug, isn't it? @thdxr

    @lukasbash This workaround doesn't really work for me. I can see the stale state, but somehow the removal doesn't do anything.

    @lukasbash @max-wittig I think the bug is on zed's side. I had several files open by zed and I had to clear them all. The problem is basically that Zed does not clear it's state if you close it. Not sure if it's an opencode problem.

    I never want to use this feature in opencode. Any way to disable it?

    I think we are going to turn it off by default (I also disable it but you can toggle it on / off using ctrl+p command palette)
