   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • opencode2 desktop: can't start a new session in a specific worktree #46362: Can't start a new session in a specific worktree in the new desktop layout (same core symptom — worktree selection missing from session creation)
   • V2: Worktree directory labels missing from session picker #41025: Worktree directory labels missing from session picker — sessions don't show which worktree they belong to
   • [FEATURE] : keep legacy layout option #37012: Feature request to keep the legacy layout option

   If your issue is already covered by one of the above, please consider adding a "+1" or additional context there instead of opening a new report.

   This layout change severely impacts parallel development efficiency and has essentially degraded the desktop version back to a serial mode. As in #48837

   使用 ai 写了个脚本锁定旧版本布局, 我本机测试通过了

   I used ai to write a script that locks in the old version layout, and it passed testing on my machine.

   棒！虽然旧布局还有不少bug，但至少能用。新布局不如改名叫教育版算了，还不如CLI多开方便😓️

   +1 I hit this daily in my real workflow.

   Use case: monorepo with multiple apps, each in its own manually created worktree (wt-vela, wt-canalis, wt-mdl, etc.), each on a different branch, running in parallel.

   Issues I see in Desktop (v1.18.29):

   Manual worktrees are invisible, git worktree add creates wt-* directories, but Desktop doesn't detect them at all. I have to cd into each worktree and run opencode from CLI every time.
   Opening multiple worktrees replaces the existing project, all worktrees share the same git common-dir, so Desktop keys project ID by root commit hash. Opening wt-canalis silently replaces the wt-vela session I already had open (same root cause as #5638).
   No branch switcher in the UI, there's no way to switch branches without closing the session and reopening from CLI.
   What I'd like:

   Desktop should detect existing worktrees for the same repo (read the .git file in each worktree to find commondir)
   Show all worktrees as tabs within a single workspace, not as separate projects
   Add a compact branch indicator in the UI (worktree name + branch name)

   In fact, the old layout supports recognizing manually created multiple worktrees. You need to select a session in the main partition of the target repository, close the desktop app, and then reopen it. In other words, the last session before restarting must be a session in the main partition—it cannot be a session in another worktree or another project.

   Furthermore, for a new worktree that has just been created and has no existing sessions, you do need to start a session from the CLI as a seed so that it can be recognized—for example, opencode run “hello”—and you can even terminate it before the token starts being consumed.

   This does require a bit of finesse. Although I’m not entirely sure why this is necessary, it does work.
   And the new layout is different, it doesn’t require any finesse because parallel worktrees simply aren’t possible.

    Thanks for the report! OpenCode 2.0 is now out and development is focused on V2, so we're closing issues filed against OpenCode 1. Please upgrade (opencode upgrade --major, details: https://anoma.ly/notes/opencode-2-0), and if this is still relevant on 2.0, reopen this issue or open a new one with your 2.0 version.
