GitHub Issue Draft: PowerShell Syntax Crash

Title

Crash Report: Bash syntax (=) leaking into PowerShell execution causes CommandNotFoundException

Body

Description

The OpenCode agent crashed while attempting to execute a command in a Windows environment using the default shell (PowerShell). The error indicates that a Bash-style variable assignment or command syntax containing = was passed directly to PowerShell, which interpreted = as a command name or argument it couldn't handle in that context.

Error Log

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

= : The term '=' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.

Environment

  • Platform: Windows (win32)
  • Shell: PowerShell (implied by error format)
  • Agent: 01-Planner (likely executing a Bash tool call)
  • Date: 2026-01-30

Reproduction Context

The agent was likely attempting to run a command that works in Bash but fails in PowerShell.
Possible triggers:

  1. Variable assignment: VAR=value command (Common in Bash, invalid in PowerShell)
  2. Command chaining with specific syntax.
  3. Attempting to use > or 2> redirection which resulted in the creation of a literal file named nul in the working directory (observed in file system artifacts).

Artifacts Observed

  • A file named nul was created in the root directory C:\development\marketing\. In Windows cmd/PowerShell, > /dev/null or incorrect redirection handling can sometimes result in writing to a file named nul if the driver isn't handled correctly or if it's quoted as a string.

Expected Behavior

The system should either:

  1. Detect the Windows environment and use cmd or powershell compatible syntax.
  2. Wrap Bash commands in wsl or bash.exe if a true Bash environment is expected.
  3. Sanitize inputs to prevent shell-specific syntax collisions.

Suggested Fix

Review the command execution layer in opencode-windows-x64. Ensure that when the Bash tool is called on Windows:

  • It actually routes to a bash.exe instance (Git Bash or WSL).
  • OR, if it falls back to PowerShell, it validates that the command syntax is compatible.
