   Lore : Because the legacy package is named open-code and the new one is named opencode, APT treats them as completely separate packages.

   How to Fix: "OpenCode 1.17.0 or newer is required to use the free tier"
   This error occurs when an outdated OpenCode CLI or sidecar version (e.g., 1.14.33) is being executed instead of version 1.17.0 or newer.

   Solution (Linux / Debian):
   Remove the obsolete legacy package:
   sudo apt remove open-code
   Install or update to the latest version: Run the official installer script:
   curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

   Seems that something is broken in the Snap version of the OpenCode Desktop app, such that it is reporting the incorrect version number. I was able to run normally in the TUI but the Desktop App kept receiving this error.

   I was able to remedy by uninstalling the SNAP version and installing the .deb directly.
