Same git directory gets two project IDs and /sessions only shows the latest project's sessions #36464

Description

Bug description

OpenCode stopped showing previous sessions for a project. /sessions and opencode session list only showed the latest session created today, although the SQLite database still contained all previous sessions.

The root cause seems to be that OpenCode created a second project identity for the same directory.

Observed behavior

The database contained two projects pointing to the same directory:

dc038e5e6b7b96820aef4f3513dfede58340144e3 -> /home/ilp/my/working/dir
b6732720cc85382bb5da9a37fd17fd8ca0b194e3 -> /home/ilp/my/working/dir

Sessions were split:

dc038... -> 47 old sessions
b673... -> 1 new session

OpenCode only displayed sessions from the newly created project.

Recovery

I recovered the sessions by merging the project IDs directly in SQLite:

• moved all sessions from dc038... to b673...
• removed the duplicate project entry

After that /sessions showed all previous sessions again.

But this affected both:

• /sessions inside OpenCode
• opencode session list from the command line

Additional information

The logs showed project refresh activity for the new project ID:

project copy refresh started projectID=b6732720...
project copy refresh done projectID=b6732720...

The directory was the same in both cases.

The issue is not data loss: sessions remain in the database, but the active project identity changes and makes them invisible.

Steps to reproduce

1. Use OpenCode normally in a git repository working on different sessions.
2. Create the first git commit for the repository.
3. Restart OpenCode.
4. Observe that a new project ID is created for the same directory.
5. Previous sessions are no longer shown in /sessions.
