[BUG] Desktop does not show sessions for non-Git project directories on Windows, while CLI lists them correctly #29621

Description

OpenCode Desktop does not show existing sessions for a non-Git project directory, even though the same sessions are visible through the OpenCode CLI.

This works correctly for a Git-backed project directory, but not for a plain folder without a .git repository.

Observed Behavior In OpenCode Desktop:

Project 1, a Git repository, shows its previous sessions correctly.
Project 2, a non-Git folder, shows only the “New Session” button and no previous sessions.

In the CLI:

opencode session list
Run from Project 2, the expected sessions are listed correctly.

Expected Behavior OpenCode Desktop should show the same sessions for Project 2 that are shown by the CLI when both are pointing at the same directory.

A non-Git directory should still have its sessions visible in Desktop.

Investigation The sessions are stored correctly and can be listed by the CLI.

For Project 1, which is a Git repository, the session is associated with a real project entry:

{
  "project_id": "<project-specific-id>",
  "worktree": "C:\\example\\project-1",
  "vcs": "git",
  "name": "project-1"
}

The session references that project:

{
  "project_id": "<project-specific-id>",
  "directory": "C:\\example\\project-1"
}

For Project 2, which is not a Git repository, the session is associated with the global project instead:

{
  "project_id": "global",
  "worktree": "/",
  "vcs": null,
  "name": null
}

The session still contains the correct directory/path:

{
  "project_id": "global",
  "directory": "C:\\example\\project-2",
  "path": "example/project-2"
}

This suggests that the CLI can list sessions for non-Git folders by using session.directory or session.path, while OpenCode Desktop may be filtering only by session.project_id.

Possible Cause For non-Git directories, OpenCode appears to store sessions under the special global project instead of creating a project-specific entry. OpenCode Desktop then seems to filter sessions by project ID only, so these sessions are not shown in the project view.

OpenCode version

1.15.11

Steps to reproduce

1. Create or open a regular folder on Windows that is not a Git repository, e.g. C:\example\project-2.
2. Start an OpenCode session in that folder.
3. Confirm via CLI that the session exists: opencode session list
4. Open the same folder in OpenCode Desktop.
5. Observe that the previous sessions are not shown.
6. Initialize Git in that folder or compare with another Git-backed project.
7. Observe that sessions for Git-backed projects appear correctly in Desktop.
