fix(app): project rename silently fails for non-git projects (id "global") #42853

Description

Renaming a project via the "Edit Project" dialog silently has no effect when the project's resolved ID is "global" (i.e., a plain/non-git folder, or a git repo with no remote, no commits, and no cached ID). The dialog closes but the displayed name never changes. Restarting, re-opening the project, or closing/re-adding the workspace does not help.

Root cause: for such projects the app's save path (packages/app/src/components/edit-project.ts) only performs the real update when props.project.id is set and not "global":

if (props.project.id && props.project.id !== "global") {
  ... await sdk.client.project.update({ projectID: props.project.id, ... }) // real, persisted save
  return
}
serverCtx().sync.project.meta(props.project.worktree, { name, ... }) // dead store: never read

Project.resolve (packages/core/src/project.ts) returns ID.global for any directory that isn't a git repo, or whose repo has no remote / .git/opencode cache / root commit:

if (!repo) return { id: ID.global, ... }
return { id: id ?? ID.global, ... }

The fallback sync.project.meta(...) writes to childStore.projectMeta (localStorage), but that store is write-only in the codebase — enrich() (global.tsx / layout.tsx) only ever reads the server's data.project. So the rename appears to succeed (dialog closes) but is never persisted or displayed.

Plugins

None (OpenCode Desktop, default plugins).

OpenCode version

1.18.18 (OpenCode Desktop;)

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a brand-new empty folder (no git), or run git init in a folder but do not commit / add a remote.
2. In OpenCode Desktop (old layout) click + to add that folder, then open it.
3. Open the project's Edit Project dialog and change the default name to something new, then click Save.
4. The dialog closes, but the name in the sidebar stays unchanged.
5. Repeat after restarting the app, after re-opening the project, and after closing + re-adding the workspace — the rename still has no effect.
6. (Control) Repeating the same steps on a folder that is a git repo with at least one commit or a remote works fine.
