Desktop ignores permission rules in ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc #36416
Description
OpenCode Desktop ignores permission rules from ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc (bash patterns always prompt)
Description
OpenCode Desktop does not honor permission rules defined in the user-level config ~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc. For example, with the following in the config:
{
"permission": {
"bash": {
"git log*": "allow"
}
}
}Desktop still pops up the "Allow / Deny" confirmation dialog when the agent tries to run git log. The same config works as expected in the TUI (opencode CLI), so the rule is being written correctly and parsed somewhere — Desktop just doesn't apply it.
Plugins
none
OpenCode version
1.17.18 (1.17.18)
Steps to reproduce
- Make sure
~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc(or the OS equivalent) contains apermissionrule such as"bash": { "git log*": "allow" }. - Launch OpenCode Desktop and start a session in any git repo.
- Ask the agent to run
git log(or any command matching the pattern). - Observe the permission prompt asking to confirm, instead of auto-allowing.
- (For comparison) Run the same prompt in the TUI
opencodeCLI with the same config — the command runs without prompting.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues reporting that permission rules are not honored. Please check:
permission: "allow"andpermission.* = "allow"still trigger approval prompts #28482:permission: "allow"andpermission.* = "allow"still trigger approval promptsIf your issue is specifically about the Desktop app ignoring the global config while the TUI works correctly (i.e., the Desktop sidecar not loading
~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsoncat all), that would be a distinct bug from the above — please add a note confirming whether this is the case so maintainers can triage accordingly.github-actions commentedon Sep 10, 2026
