   This issue might be a duplicate of (or closely related to) existing issues that share the same root cause in Project.fromDirectory() returning worktree: "/" for non-git directories. Please check:

   • Session lookup fails with NotFoundError when PTY spawned from non-git directory context #8538: Session lookup fails with NotFoundError when PTY spawned from non-git directory context — directly identifies the same worktree: "/" fallback in project.ts as the root cause
   • opencode serve uses / as base directory when started from non-root path allowing access to arbitrary locations + permission path mismatches #14445: opencode serve uses / as base directory when started from a non-root path — same incorrect worktree value causes the file browser to show root instead of the actual working directory
   • [BUG][Windows][Web/Desktop] Global project (worktree="/") can show empty sidebar even when /session API returns sessions #14572: Global project (worktree="/") can show empty sidebar even when sessions exist — same fallback causes session/project scoping issues

   Further, there's zero documentation as to where it starts; trying to run this in a Docker container without root permissions basically makes it useless as the only thing that pops up is '/':

   One would think it should serve /workspace as the working directory; or at least /home/node since it was started by the user node; it doesn't appear to have permissions or anything and lives in root.

   I'm having a similar issue but with an extra step.

   If I start a chat in a directory without a git repo being initialized, it effectively shows all global sessions, but if after just doing opencode within that directory, no starting chats required, and I then start a git repo, it stays within that global context, there's no opt-in (or at least I couldn't find a way to do so in the docs) so this newly started git repo can have its own sessions.
