Problem

After an OpenCode update, the OpenCode 2 background service keeps running the old binary. T3 Code talks to that service, so it keeps showing and using the old version. Since #22839, T3 Code reports this honestly, but the user must still restart the service by hand, and opencode service restart shuts down persistent terminals.

Change

When the updated instance's Server URL is this machine's registered OpenCode background service, T3 Code now replaces that service after the update, the same way the OpenCode TUI does: Service.stop with pty: "handoff", then Service.ensure, from @opencode/client/effect/service. The service comes back on the new binary with its persistent terminals, sessions, password, and configured environment.

Every other server keeps the behavior from #22839: T3 Code does not touch it, and a loopback URL shows "OpenCode CLI updated. Restart the configured local OpenCode server to use the new version."

• Only this install's service. The Server URL must match the local registration: same protocol and port, and the same host or a wildcard listener with its own family's loopback. The local service password is never sent to the configured URL.
• Only after an update, only for the updated instance. Status checks never replace anything.
• The service outlives T3 Code. It runs in its own agent scope and without T3 Desktop's ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE.
• A failed replacement is not hidden. The normal version check still runs, so the user sees the restart hint when the old server is still up, or an error when no server answers.
• OpenCode 1.x is unchanged.

Takeover

This continues #31152 by @mkantenko, with earlier fixes and verification by @maria-rcks. Their commits are on this branch unchanged. Please keep both as co-authors on the squash commit.

Added on top:

• Merged current main, which now has fix(opencode): verify CLI updates when loopback server is still running #22839. The only conflict was the user guide; it now describes both behaviors.
• A failed replacement no longer ends the update as "could not verify". The registry logs the failure and lets the normal check report what is running.

Verification

Real OpenCode binaries in an isolated HOME, real dev web app, Update now pressed in Settings > Providers. The service was registered as http://127.0.0.1:49731.

Run	Server URL	Service after the update	App shows
main at c58f472	http://127.0.0.1:49731	still 2.1.3, binary 2.2.7	v2.1.3 and the restart hint
this branch at df1a7e5	http://127.0.0.1:49731	2.2.7, new PID	v2.2.7, Authenticated
this branch at f719da1	http://localhost:49731	still 2.1.3	v2.1.3 and the restart hint

before  service 2.1.3 pid 1987491   persistent terminal pid 1987521
update  npm install -g ... @opencode/cli@latest, then "OpenCode updated: v2.2.7"
after   service 2.2.7 pid 1988452   persistent terminal pid 1987521, same session
        same service password, configured env variable kept, no ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE
        own scope: t3code-opencode-service-383c0f92.scope
stop T3 Code dev server: service 2.2.7 and terminal 1987521 still running

Before, on main:

After, on this branch:

• Run again after the last merge of main (acdd2fb): 2.1.3 to 2.2.7 with the same persistent terminal, session, and password.
• vp run check:changed passes after the last merge of main.
• New test case in ProviderRegistry.test.ts: a failing hook still probes and returns the instance. It failed before the fix.

Not checked: a forced replacement failure in the real app (covered by the test only), T3 Desktop and mobile clients, macOS and Windows, IPv6 and wildcard registrations in the real app (covered by the unit test), and a real agent turn after the update. @maria-rcks ran turns before and after the update on the original PR.

Behavior to weigh

• Replacing the service interrupts turns that run on it, the same as opening the TUI. The update is an explicit user action.
• If OpenCode was updated outside T3 Code, there is no Update button, so T3 Code does not restart the service. The restart hint is the only signal.
• localhost, a LAN or tailnet address, and an independently launched opencode serve are not replaced.
• A session that is live during the update can keep its old version gates until its next reconnect. This only keeps newer features off. Follow-up.
• If the service does not answer a probe right before the replacement, a service that is already current can get one extra handoff restart. Follow-up.
• The replaced service runs with T3 Code's environment. Set variables it needs with opencode service set env.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Updating OpenCode now automatically restarts its matching local background service instead of leaving restart timing to the user. Human judgment is needed on this default change because it interrupts active turns and relaunches the service with T3 Code's environment.

Walkthrough

The provider update flow can replace an outdated, matching local OpenCode service and invalidate the cached server connection. Provider refresh now invokes an optional update hook before cache invalidation and refresh, while continuing after non-interruption hook failures.

Changes: OpenCode service update

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Match and replace an outdated service packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/OpenCode2Service.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/OpenCode2Service.test.ts	The replacement function checks the binary version and registered service URL. If the service is outdated, it stops the service and ensures a replacement. Tests cover version checks, URL matching, and replacement behavior.
Connect provider updates to service replacement and cache invalidation packages/provider-core/src/server/driver.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/driver.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/OpenCode2Server.ts, packages/provider-opencode/src/server/v2/OpenCode2Server.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Adapters/OpenCode2AdapterV2.testkit.ts, docs/user/providers-opencode.md	Provider instances add an optional afterUpdate effect. The OpenCode driver uses it to replace the service and forget the cached connection. The server’s forget operation clears external-server cache state and does nothing for managed servers. Tests and documentation describe the update behavior.
Run the update hook during provider refresh apps/server/src/provider/ProviderRegistry.ts, apps/server/src/provider/ProviderRegistry.test.ts	refreshAfterUpdate invokes the selected instance’s hook before cache invalidation and refresh. Interruptions propagate. Other hook failures are logged and do not mark the instance failed. Tests check ordering, instance selection, and failure handling.

Merge Risk: Low · up to acdd2

Updating OpenCode 2 now restarts a matching local background service on the new version, and the code covers the main paths. One small caveat remains: when the restart hook fails, the error text is written to the local server log. Merging carries little risk.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the primary change: updating OpenCode restarts the background service so it runs the new version. The changeset adds replaceOutdatedService, an afterUpdate hook, and a forget operation that replace the registered OpenCode 2 background service after an update. The title follows the conventional commit format and is specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each contains specific content. The Problem section explains the stale service after an update. The Change section explains the replacement flow and its limits. The Scope section links #22839 and #31152 as prior work, and the author states the scope as a fix for an existing bug. The Verification section gives a results table, before and after screenshots, and a list of unchecked items. The description also names the model and harness used for the work, as the template asks. The Scope section does not link a dedicated issue that shows the bug, so that point could be stronger.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Prevent an in-flight connection from undoing forget.

If withConnection starts verifying the old server before replacement, its remember callback can finish after forget clears latest. That callback restores the old connection. Later calls reuse its stale version without verification, so the post-update refresh can continue reporting the old service. Use a generation token or serialize connection creation with invalidation. Cover this ordering with a deferred completion in the existing test. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

while retaining replacement behavior otherwise. Add the newer-registered-service
