SSH session with iTerm2 auto-writes 'iTerm2 3.6.5Gi-1;invalid payload' in agent panel #3769
Description
video-error.mov
Issue Description
When SSHing into a Linux server using iTerm2 and running opencode, the text 'iTerm2 3.6.5Gi-1;invalid payload' is automatically written in the agent panel where I would normally type my request.
Environment
- Local: macOS with iTerm2 3.6.5
- Remote: Linux server (accessed via SSH)
- opencode version: latest
Steps to Reproduce
- SSH into a Linux server from iTerm2
- Run opencode
- Observe the auto-written text in the agent panel
Expected Behavior
The agent panel should be empty and ready for user input.
Actual Behavior
Text 'iTerm2 3.6.5Gi-1;invalid payload' is automatically inserted.
Video
[Video demonstration will be attached manually]
This appears to be related to iTerm2 shell integration or terminal emulation when running over SSH.

I've had similar issues in iTerm2. OpenCode sometimes starts with a text field filled with a
Gi=1;invalid payload.It seems I don't have Shell Integration installed, since the
~/.iterm2_shell_integration.zshfile is missing (I use Zsh). What's more interesting is that the Main Menu → iTerm2 → Install Shell Integration option is disabled/grayed out. I haven't looked into it deeply, but I saw a suggestion that this iTerm2 issue (inability to install shell integration) might be caused by a conflict with Oh My Zsh (which I also use).I can also confirm that the main issue (
Gi=1;invalid payloadinserted in the text field) occurs only in OpenCode version 1.0.xjschmdt commentedon Nov 12, 2025
@falconepl For me as well, see screenshot below. I'm on macOS Tahoe 26.1 (latest), OpenCode 1.55 & iTerm 3.6.5 – but I have installed the iTerm Shell integration. So the Shell Integration may not be related to this issue. I have not encountered this weird message in Visual Studio Code: neither in zsh nor in bash.
