   Hi! I’m seeing what looks like a Web UI-only session list scoping/refresh bug after upgrading OpenCode 1.2.5 -> 1.2.6.

   Environment

   • OpenCode: 1.2.6
   • OS: Linux
   • Storage: SQLite at ~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db
   • Important: Sessions show correctly in the TUI, but not in the Web UI.

   My setup / workflow

   • I start OpenCode Web from a “neutral” directory (not inside a repo), e.g. ~/safe:
     • opencode web
   • In the Web UI, I then select/navigate to various projects.
   • One of those projects is a git repo that uses multiple git worktrees:
     • main repo: ~/dev/sfp-3pl-approval
     • worktrees live under: ~/dev/_wt/sfp-3pl-approval-*
   • Each worktree directory has its own sessions historically, and Web UI used to show them.

   Problem

   After upgrading to 1.2.6, when I’m in the Web UI and select the ~/dev/sfp-3pl-approval project:

   • the Web UI session list shows only 1 (or almost none) of the existing sessions
   • BUT the TUI/CLI still lists all the sessions correctly, including those in the worktree directories

   So sessions don’t seem lost—Web UI just isn’t showing them.

   Repro steps

   1. Start web server from a directory outside the project:
      • opencode web (started from ~/safe)
   2. In the web UI, select project ~/dev/sfp-3pl-approval
   3. Observe the session list (nearly empty / missing lots of sessions)
   4. Compare with TUI/CLI:
      • (cd ~/dev/sfp-3pl-approval && opencode session list -n 50)
      • sessions appear as expected there

   Evidence: sessions exist in DB for the worktree directories

   These show that many sessions exist for the repo + worktrees:

   opencode db "SELECT COUNT(*) AS n, directory FROM session WHERE directory LIKE '%sfp-3pl-approval%' GROUP BY directory ORDER BY n DESC;"
   

   Example output (abridged):

   • ~/dev/sfp-3pl-approval -> lots of sessions
   • ~/dev/_wt/sfp-3pl-approval-... -> lots of sessions

   Also, opencode debug scrap shows the repo worktree plus sandboxes (worktrees) are known:

   opencode debug scrap
   

   Additional clue: duplicate project rows for the same worktree path

   In my DB there are two project rows with the same worktree path (~/dev/sfp-3pl-approval) but sessions are mostly associated to one of the two project_ids.

   opencode db "SELECT id, worktree, time_updated FROM project WHERE worktree LIKE '%/sfp-3pl-approval' ORDER BY time_updated DESC;"
   opencode db "SELECT project_id, COUNT(*) AS n FROM session WHERE directory LIKE '%/dev/_wt/sfp-3pl-approval-%' GROUP BY project_id ORDER BY n DESC;"
   

   It looks like Web UI might be picking the “wrong” project id (the one with very few sessions), so the list looks empty.

   Expected

   When selecting a project in Web UI, session list should include all sessions for that project/worktree + its worktree sandboxes (as it did previously), consistent with the TUI.

   Actual

   Web UI shows almost none, while TUI shows all.

   If you want, I can provide more DB queries / a minimal DB snapshot (sanitized) or run with debug logging.

   Follow-up: I think this is not only a “project switch doesn’t refresh” issue in my case — it’s a Web UI sidebar scoping/filtering issue that hides worktree/sandbox sessions.

   What I’m seeing

   • OpenCode: 1.2.6 (Linux)
   • Sessions exist and are visible via TUI/CLI and via the web server API
   • Web UI sidebar only shows sessions for the current directory (e.g. repo root), and hides sessions whose session.directory is a different worktree/sandbox directory.

   Server API proof: roots exist across multiple directories (repo + worktrees)

   When I query the server in the repo context, GET /session?roots=true returns root sessions whose directory spans multiple worktree dirs:

   curl -fsS \
     -H "x-opencode-directory: /home/USER/dev/REPO" \
     "http://127.0.0.1:4096/session?roots=true&limit=1000" \
   | jq -r '[.[].directory] | group_by(.) | map({dir:.[0], count:length}) | sort_by(.count) | .[] | "\(.count)\t\(.dir)"'

   Example output shape (counts vary, but note multiple directories):

   28  /home/USER/dev/REPO
   8   /home/USER/dev/_wt/REPO-WT-1
   2   /home/USER/dev/_wt/REPO-WT-2
   ...
   

   So the backend can return root sessions for worktree dirs when in the repo project context.

   Frontend proof: Web sidebar filters to current directory only

   I inspected the downloaded web bundle and found two key pieces:

   1) Session list request is directory-scoped + roots-only

   async function oX(t){
     try {
       return {
         data: (await t.list({ directory: t.directory, roots: !0, limit: t.limit })).data,
         limited: !0
       }
     } catch {
       return t.onFallback(), {
         data: (await t.list({ directory: t.directory, roots: !0 })).data,
         limited: !1
       }
     }
   }

   2) Sidebar list filters sessions to session.directory === currentDirectory (+ root + unarchived)

   const Xle = (s, dir) =>
     normalize(s.directory) === normalize(dir) &&
     !s.parentID &&
     !s.time?.archived;
   zl = (t, now) =>
     t.session
      .filter(s => Xle(s, t.path.directory))
      .sort(sortByRecent(now));

   This exact directory equality check seems to be why sessions from worktree/sandbox directories are not shown when I’m “in” the repo root directory, even though the server can return them.

   Expected behavior (for worktree/sandbox repos)

   When a project has sandboxes/worktrees, the sidebar should either:

   • include root sessions across all sandbox/worktree directories (grouped by directory), or
   • offer a toggle: This directory vs Whole project (incl. sandboxes/worktrees).
     If you’d prefer, I can open a separate issue focused specifically on “Web sidebar hides worktree/sandbox sessions due to directory-equality filter” and cross-link it here — but wanted to add the concrete repro + snippets first.

   In fact, I believe what I'm experiencing is a really a different issue, so I'll be opening a new ticket and put the details above there.
