Please, change autoupdate to notify by default #4783
Description
I installed opencode from homebrew. At one start, to my surprise, I got a notification that opencode had been updated. I did not know that autoupdate was a thing.
After the update, opencode --version shows 1.0.107, but the tui shows a green notification with 1.0.114. I changed the autoupdate to false. Now, then I open the tui, I see a notification that a newer version is availabl. I am confused. What happedn with the version mismtach in the first place? Why am I seeing a notifcation if the autodupate is false?
autupdate is useful for those who do not use pacakge managers. But if you are using them, you prbably do not want ot see this enabled.

Done. Get an error.
$ cat /Users/vanyauhalin/.config/opencode/opencode.json { "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json", "autoupdate": "notify", "permission": { "edit": "ask", "bash": "ask", "webfetch": "ask" } }rekram1-node commentedon Nov 26, 2025
Oh right thats because you are on older version sorry
Ill look into homebrew thing
I think you may wanna use our tap instead:
sst/opencode/tap
it will always be up to date

I do not mind using older version, is is not a problem for me.
With this issue, I just wanted to point out that perhaprs having the
autoupdateenabled by default is not the besit idea. I would like this to be disabled by default. I have disabled this in my config, but pehaps future users will be just as surprised as I was when opencode was updated without their knowledge.
