opencode web on Windows resolves working directory to drive root instead of CWD #26966
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
On Windows, when running opencode web from a directory (e.g. C:\Users\Sakura), the backend server resolves the working directory to the drive root (C:) instead of the actual current working directory. This causes the agent to be unable to access project files and incorrectly sets Working directory: C:.
Notably, the TUI mode (opencode without arguments) does not have this issue — it correctly picks up the current working directory. The bug is specific to opencode web mode.
Expected behavior:
opencode web should use the current working directory where the command was launched, same as the TUI mode does.

OpenCode version
1.14.41
Steps to reproduce
- On Windows, open a terminal (PowerShell & CMD).
- Navigate to a directory: cd C:\Users\Sakura
- Run opencode web
- Open the web interface at the displayed URL and check the working directory in the session — it will show C:\ instead of C:\Users\Sakura.
- For comparison, run opencode (TUI mode) from the same directory — the working directory is correctly C:\Users\Sakura.

Same issue on Linux (Docker container). The server is started via
opencode web --hostname 0.0.0.0 --port 8080from/home/ubuntu/workspace(confirmed viaworking_dir,WORKDIR, andcd ... && execin CMD), but agent sessions spawn withcwd=/:This has two additional consequences beyond the incorrect working directory display:
Project-level skills in
.opencode/skills/<name>/SKILL.mdare not discovered — OpenCode walks up from CWD to find them, but since CWD is/, they're never found. Only global~/.config/opencode/skills/works. Workaround: symlink~/.config/opencode/skills→/path/to/project/.opencode/skills."Create Git repository" button always shown in the web UI — because
/.gitdoesn't exist, even though/home/ubuntu/workspace/.gitis a valid git repo.The
OPENCODE_PROJECT_ROOT=/home/ubuntu/workspaceenvironment variable is set but appears to be unused by the server for CWD resolution. A--dirflag (as proposed in #31473) or respectingOPENCODE_PROJECT_ROOTwould resolve all three symptoms.Tested on OpenCode 1.17.11, Ubuntu 26.04 container (Docker Desktop on Windows 11 25H2 Professional host).
