Sessions created in Desktop app are not visible in CLI TUI session list #29071

Description

Sessions created in OpenCode Desktop (Electron app) do not appear in the CLI TUI session list ("Switch session" dialog) when running opencode in the terminal.

Conversely, sessions created in the CLI are visible in the Desktop app. The data is not lost — running opencode export confirms all sessions exist in the shared database.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a session in OpenCode Desktop app
2. Open the CLI version (opencode command)
3. Open the "Switch session" dialog
4. The Desktop-created session does not appear in the list

Expected Behavior

Since the Desktop and CLI share the same database (~/.local/share/opencode/opencode.db), sessions created in either interface should be visible in both.

Root Cause

The CLI TUI session list has directory filtering enabled by default (session_directory_filter_enabled: true), which filters sessions by path (a relative path from the worktree root):

// packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/context/sync.tsx
function sessionListQuery(): { scope?: "project"; path?: string } {
  if (!kv.get("session_directory_filter_enabled", true)) return { scope: "project" }
  // ...
  return {
    path: path.relative(
      path.resolve(project.data.instance.path.worktree),
      project.data.instance.path.directory
    ).replaceAll("\\", "/"),
  }
}

Meanwhile, the Desktop app retrieves sessions using directory (absolute path) + roots: true, which results in a different path resolution for sessions created in the Desktop app. This mismatch causes Desktop-created sessions to be filtered out of the CLI TUI session list.

Workaround

Add the following to ~/.local/state/opencode/kv.json:

{
  "session_directory_filter_enabled": false
}

This disables directory filtering and shows all sessions within the project.

Suggested Fixes

1. Change the default for session_directory_filter_enabled to false
2. Unify path resolution between Desktop and CLI so sessions created in either interface share the same path value
3. Show filtered-out sessions in a separate "Other sessions" section in the CLI TUI session list
