Yes, It seems to be a duplicate. But the other issues do not show progress and PR that would improved it get closed (#16216).
So i leave it open to express the need and would like to se the with the solution PR merged. Also, there seems to be a problem with the "automatic installation" failing silently.

Installation fail casue: I think the cause for this is, that opencode relies on
GIT_ASKPASSto identify the IDE, but this env is not set in my case (TERM_PROGRAM=vscodehowever is). It should not fail silently in this case but ask user to install it manually with and mention the official extension uidsst-dev.opencodeWorkaround: Manuall install
