   Yes, it's a plugin with this code:

   export const NotificationSoundPlugin = async ({ project, client, $, directory, worktree }) => {
     return {
       event: async ({ event }) => {
         if (event.type === "session.idle") {
           const result = await $`osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of first application process whose frontmost is true'`.text();
           const focusedApp = result.trim().toLowerCase();
   
           const terminalApps = ['opencode', 'terminal', 'iterm', 'iterm2', 'warp', 'alacritty', 'kitty'];
           const isTerminalFocused = terminalApps.some(app => focusedApp.includes(app));
   
           if (!isTerminalFocused) {
             const timestamp = new Date().toLocaleTimeString();
             const message = `${timestamp}`;
             await $`/usr/local/bin/alerter -title OpenCode -subtitle "Agent Ready" -message ${message} -sound Blow -group opencode-idle -timeout 0`.quiet();
           }
         }
       }
     };
   };
   

   How do I update the plugin to only trigger the notification when the main LLM agent actually needs attention?

   Wondering about this too, this simple plugin is also hit by the issue: https://gist.github.com/ahosker/267f375a65378bcb9a867fd9a195db1e#file-opencode-terminal-bell-plugin-md

   Fixing this + having a way to know when an agent needs permissions / asks a question would be golden.
