Description

When opencode v1.3.2 TUI is launched inside any git repository directory, messages cannot be sent. The input field accepts text, but pressing Enter/Submit does nothing ? the message never gets processed. The same opencode instance works perfectly when launched from a non-git directory (e.g., ~/).

Plugins

No response

OpenCode version

1.3.2 (latest, confirmed via opencode upgrade)

Steps to reproduce

  1. cd into any git repository directory (existing or freshly git init'd)
  2. Run opencode
  3. Type a message and press Enter
  4. Result: Nothing happens. Message is not sent or processed.
    Workaround: Run opencode from a non-git directory (e.g., ~). It works correctly there.

Expected Behavior

Messages should be sent and processed regardless of whether the working directory is a git repository.

Environment

  • opencode version: 1.3.2 (latest, confirmed via opencode upgrade)
  • OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 (Plow)
  • Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-284.25.1.el9_2.x86_64
  • Architecture: x86_64
  • Git version: 2.39.2.3
  • Desktop: KDE (affects XDG config paths)
  • Installation method: curl install script

Diagnostic Details

Log comparison: Non-git directory (works) vs Git directory (broken)

Working case (~/, non-git, projectID=global) ? log excerpt:
service=default directory=/home/user creating instance
service=project directory=/home/user fromDirectory
...
service=provider init
service=provider providerID=github-copilot found
service=provider providerID=opencode found
After sending a message, the full pipeline runs: skill init ? provider init ? tool.registry ? session.processor.
Broken case (~/ronin_mcp_tools/, git repo) ? log excerpt:
service=default directory=/home/user/ronin_mcp_tools creating instance
service=project directory=/home/user/ronin_mcp_tools fromDirectory
...
service=provider init
service=vcs branch=ronin_mcp_tools initialized
service=bus type=file.watcher.updated subscribing
The log ends here. After sending a message (POST completes with status 200), the processing pipeline (skill init ? provider init ? tool.registry ? session.processor) never starts.

Key differences in git directories

  1. service=file.watcher init and service=vcs branch=<branch> initialized appear only in git directories
  2. service=bus type=file.watcher.updated subscribing is the last log entry in broken sessions
  3. pstree confirms no MCP child processes are spawned (MCP init is part of the stalled pipeline)
  4. Session permissions remain at the initial deny state because tool.registry never runs to override them

Verified this is NOT caused by:

  • Config file issues (reproduced with empty {} opencode.json)
  • Specific git repos (reproduced in git init fresh directories)
  • MCP server configuration (reproduced with no MCP config at all)
  • Network issues (non-git directory works perfectly on the same machine)

Additional Context

  • opencode debug config shows correct configuration in both cases
  • opencode mcp list works correctly when run from git directories
  • Only the TUI message sending is affected; CLI subcommands work fine
  • The file.watcher and vcs services that initialize in git directories may be related to the pipeline stall

    I think I have hit this as well. #23219 is also getting new activity.

    The following is a workaround, but I suspect it would fail for large git directories.

    sysctl -w fs.inotify.max_user_instances=2048

    (PS: #41096 removes a special case for .git. I don't understand the code, so maybe this is nothing, but I thought I would mention.)
