Desktop workspace path stays stuck on old absolute path after folder rename #31869

Description

Summary

On Windows, OpenCode Desktop keeps using an old workspace path after the project folder is renamed.

I renamed my project from:

C:\Code play first\AetherGazer ahk

to:

C:\Code play first\AetherGazer-SemiAuto-AHK

but OpenCode continued to reference the old path.

What I checked

I first checked the main config files:

• C:\Users\user\.config\opencode\opencode.jsonc
• C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\ai.opencode.desktop\default.dat

Those did not contain the stale project path.

The stale workspace state was instead stored in workspace cache files under:

• C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\ai.opencode.desktop\opencode.workspace.QzpcQ29kZSBw*.dat

What I observed

The old path appeared to be preserved in workspace cache state even after the folder had been renamed.

After removing the stale workspace cache files, OpenCode regenerated workspace state and stopped reusing the old path.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a workspace in OpenCode Desktop on Windows.
2. Rename the project folder on disk.
3. Reopen OpenCode Desktop.
4. OpenCode may still reference the old absolute path instead of the renamed folder.

Expected behavior

When a workspace folder is renamed, OpenCode should:

• detect that the previous absolute path no longer exists
• rebind the workspace to the new path
• or clear stale workspace records automatically

Actual behavior

OpenCode continues to reuse old path-encoded workspace cache entries and keeps pointing at the previous folder name.

Suggested fix

Possible improvements:

• detect missing workspace paths and refresh them
• avoid persisting stale path-encoded workspace records after rename
• provide a way to clear stale workspace cache for a specific project
• make workspace state resilient to folder renames on Windows

Environment

• OS: Windows
• OpenCode Desktop
• Workspace path rename scenario
