Summary

Default sidecar dir is now global auto-detected; explicit sidecarDir still wins. Adds startup legacy-dir warn and diagnose source line, plus docs and patch changeset.

explicit sidecarDir ("explicit")
  > XDG_DATA_HOME/opencode/lossless ("default:XDG_DATA_HOME", absolute only)
  > posix: ~/.local/share/opencode/lossless ("default:home")
  > win32: %LOCALAPPDATA%/opencode/lossless | %APPDATA%/opencode/lossless | ~/AppData/Local/... ("default:...")
  > ./.lossless ("fallback")

.changeset/*.md

Evidence

Before: default ./.lossless scatters one dir per cwd; 872-test baseline.
After: global auto-detect with source in diagnose; 872 tests green, full CI green.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way. Old behavior pinnable with one explicit line: sidecarDir: "./.lossless".
Blast Radius: every default install now shares one dir; gc residual risk documented with reopen triggers (cross-process locking deferred).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Sidecars now default to a shared, automatically detected location, with platform-specific paths. You can still configure ./.lossless for project-local storage.
    • If existing sidecars are found in the previous location, a startup warning identifies both paths. Sidecars are not moved automatically; use /lossless-migrate once per affected project.
    • Diagnostic output now identifies the sidecar directory and its source.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup, configuration, troubleshooting, and command guides to explain storage locations, migration, and cleanup.

RetriggerView in GreptileConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with the documented cleanup limits.

Summary

OpenCode sidecars now default to a shared directory chosen from environment settings and the user's home directory. An explicit sidecarDir still wins.

  • OpenCode stores sidecars in a shared location chosen for the machine.
  • /lossless-gc checks recent activity before removing sidecars.
  • Diagnostics name the active sidecar directory and where it came from.
  • Documentation and comments use clearer wording without changing their behavior.

No new actionable issues were found since the previous review. SutuSebastian deferred cross-process locking after adding the cleanup guards, export-before-delete, and documented conditions for revisiting that decision.

Walkthrough

The OpenCode plugin now uses an auto-detected global sidecar directory when sidecarDir is blank or unset. It reports the selected directory and source, warns about files in the legacy directory when applicable, and includes the directory and source in diagnose output. Documentation describes the defaults and migration command.

Changes: OpenCode sidecar directory

Layer / File(s) Summary
Directory resolution and option handling
packages/opencode/src/default-sidecar-dir.ts, packages/opencode/src/plugin.ts, packages/opencode/test/default-sidecar-dir.test.ts
The resolver selects an absolute XDG_DATA_HOME first, then platform-specific locations based on the home directory. It uses ./.lossless if no home resolves. Explicit sidecarDir values remain supported, and tests cover the platform selections and option handling.
Startup reporting and diagnostics
packages/opencode/src/plugin.ts, packages/opencode/src/lifecycle.ts, packages/opencode/test/lifecycle.test.ts
The plugin logs the selected directory and source, and warns if the legacy directory contains files and differs from the selection. Lifecycle diagnostics prefix the output with the directory and source.
Default-path and migration guidance
.changeset/*, apps/docs/components/seo/*, apps/docs/content/_snippets/guides/*, apps/docs/content/_snippets/reference/*, packages/opencode/README.md, packages/opencode/skills/opencode-lossless/SKILL.md
The documentation describes the global default, project-local sidecars, /lossless-migrate, and the fact that the plugin does not move sidecars. It also clarifies several command and configuration descriptions.

Suggested labels: enhancement, documentation

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 4e66c

Upgrading projects that stored sidecars in ./.lossless will not see their old history under the new global default, and the documented fix (/lossless-migrate) does not relocate them. Correct the upgrade guidance to say to keep sidecarDir set to "./.lossless", or describe a real relocation step, before merging.

- Line 37: Update the migration guidance in the opencode configuration snippet
to tell users to retain sidecarDir set to "./.lossless" to keep using existing
history; clarify that /lossless-migrate upgrades schemas only in the selected
directory, defaults to dry-run, and does not move sidecars.

Review comments at @packages/opencode/src/default-sidecar-dir.ts:
- Around line 33-34: Update isAbsoluteAny to validate paths using the active
platform’s absolute-path rules, so Windows-style paths are not accepted as
absolute on POSIX. Add a cross-platform test covering this behavior.

Round 2 reconciliation on 1dc3e74 (checks running; local vp check, test 860 passed, typecheck clean):

  1. Greptile P1 gc cross-process (plugin.ts): documented in 9418fa6, no lock added since the host API cannot list other processes. Replied inline.
  2. Greptile P2 migrate wording (docs snippet): already resolved; fixed in 9418fa6, extended in 1dc3e74.
  3. Greptile security diagnose masking (lifecycle.ts): fixed in 9418fa6 via maskSidecarDir. Replied inline.
  4. Greptile P1 WAL copy (docs snippet): fixed in 1dc3e74 in all three spots. Replied inline.
  5. CodeRabbit Major migrate (docs snippet): fixed in 9418fa6, extended in 1dc3e74. Replied inline.
  6. CodeRabbit Minor XDG (default-sidecar-dir.ts): already resolved; fixed in 9418fa6 with platform aware check plus tests.
