Between you and me, I would really prefer if there wasn't an .opencode directory at the root of my OS
opencode called in /home/dither/{project} via opencode (do I need to opencode .?)

fix(session): use directory instead of root for plan mode paths

Just ran into this on my Mac (M1/Bun v1.3.5) and managed to get it working.
The issue is that the installer (or a previous run) created the ~/.local/state folder with restricted permissions (owned by root), so OpenCode crashes because it can't create its own subfolders there.
If you're stuck with the EACCES error, just run this to take back control of the folder:
sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.local/stateWorked like a charm for me after that! It might be worth checking if the install script can handle these permission checks automatically so others don't have to DIY a fix.
