Plugins with implied latest version don't auto-update on restart #6774
Description
Description
When a plugin is configured without a version (defaulting to "latest"):
{
"plugin": ["@plannotator/opencode"]
}It doesn't update to newer versions on subsequent OpenCode starts.
Root Cause
In packages/opencode/src/bun/index.ts, after installing a "latest" plugin, the resolved version is saved to the cache:
if (version === "latest") {
resolvedVersion = installedPkg.version // e.g. "0.2.3"
}
parsed.dependencies[pkg] = resolvedVersion // Saves "0.2.3", not "latest"
On next startup, the check parsed.dependencies[pkg] === version compares "0.2.3" === "latest" which is false, so it proceeds to reinstall - but Bun's registry cache often returns the same version.
Workaround:
Users can manually clear the cache:
rm -rf ~/.cache/opencode/node_modules/<plugin-name>
Suggested Fix:
#6772

plugin caching is brutal.
maybe worth taking a look at #6772
