[FEATURE]: Limit the directory scan depth. #36053
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Please add the ability to limit the depth of OpenCode directory scanning.
I use OpenCode with an AI Agent to assist me in compiling an Android ROM. The AOSP source code is extremely large and complex. When I started the OpenCode program, I immediately heard the hard drive storing the source code begin reading and writing (I stopped hearing this when I terminated the program). After start building, OpenCode's disk scanning severely slowed down the hard drive I/O, causing the compilation progress to be significantly slowed down. Any attempt to edit files became very slow (although CPU usage was not high).
Other tools like Codex or OpenClaw does not have this issue. I think they might only scan directories manually.
