opencode attach without --dir uses server cwd instead of client cwd #14460
Description
Description
When I run opencode attach <url> without --dir, attach starts in the server process directory (where opencode serve was started), not in the directory where I ran attach.
It seems the attach request is missing the client directory context when --dir is omitted, so the server falls back to its own working-directory default.
Plugins
None
OpenCode version
1.2.10
Steps to reproduce
- In terminal A:
cd /tmp/aopencode serve --port 4096
- In terminal B:
cd /tmp/bopencode attach http://localhost:4096
- Attach starts in
/tmp/ainstead of/tmp/b.

This issue might be a duplicate of or closely related to existing issues. Please check:

This sounds like it's working as it's should. If you're attaching, why would you expect opencode to start in a different directory than where it was started as a server?

Fair, I think this is actually a regression from #8969 though?
#6715 specifically made attach pass the client's
process.cwd()as the default directory. After #8969 refactored the--dirhandling, the no---dirpath started returningundefined, which means no directory header gets sent and the server just falls back to its own cwd.For context, I run
opencode serveas a long-lived system service and connect to it from different project directories. In that setup the server's startup directory isn't really useful as a default, the directory I'm runningattachfrom is what I'd expect it to use. And--diris already there for when you want to override that.github-actions commentedon Apr 22, 2026
