Description

After updating Opencode Desktop (Windows) to versions 1.4.5, 1.4.6, and 1.4.7, the app does not load properly on startup.

Specifically:

Models are not displayed
Providers are not displayed
Previous conversation history is missing
It is not possible to start a new conversation

The application eventually recovers and works normally again, but only after waiting for roughly 30 minutes.

Expected behavior
The app should load models, providers, and chat history normally on startup, and conversations should be available immediately.

Actual behavior
On startup, models, providers, and chat history are missing, and chatting is unavailable. The issue resolves itself only after a long loading time of around 30 minutes.

    it seems to be related to loading plugins, I tried adding:

      "plugin": [
    "superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git"
  ],

    and get this in the logs:

    Reproduced on macOS arm64 with v1.14.35 (different version line from OP, same symptom).

    Symptom

    • Fresh install on macOS, login completed via CLI (opencode auth login)
    • opencode auth list and opencode web both show all credentials/providers correctly
    • Desktop app: 接続済みプロバイダー empty, 人気のプロバイダー shows only "Custom" - never recovers (waited 30+ min)

    Workaround that worked immediately

    Setting OPENCODE_PURE=true causes the desktop to skip external plugin loading, and providers list populates immediately:

    launchctl setenv OPENCODE_PURE true
open /Applications/OpenCode.app

    asar source confirmation

    From out/main/chunks/node-BgdKCufl.js:

    if (Flag.OPENCODE_PURE && cfg3.plugin_origins?.length) {
  log50.info("skipping external plugins in pure mode", { count: cfg3.plugin_origins.length });
}

    My plugin config

    ~/.config/opencode/config.json:

    { "plugin": ["opencode-notification@latest"] }

    ~/.config/opencode/package.json requested @opencode-ai/plugin: 1.4.3 while bun.lock had 1.3.13 - version drift between desired and locked likely triggers an npm install retry that blocks UI init.

    Conclusion

    Same root cause as @ronnyf's Linux logs - external plugin install/resolution hangs UI initialization. Affects the v1.14.x line on macOS as well, not only v1.4.x on Windows/Linux.

    Confirming what @ronnyf said: when there are no plugins in the config, the Linux desktop application starts normally.
    Adding

    "plugin": ["superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git"]

    or any other plugin, causes "Failed to load sessions for X".

    v1.15.1

    Rolling back to any of v14.x versions doesn't help. Didn't try the v13.x.
