Description

The documentation states :

Precedence order

Config sources are loaded in this order (later sources override earlier ones):

• Remote config (from .well-known/opencode) - organizational defaults
• Global config (~/.config/opencode/opencode.json) - user preferences
• Custom config (OPENCODE_CONFIG env var) - custom overrides
• Project config (opencode.json in project) - project-specific settings
• .opencode directories - agents, commands, plugins
• Inline config (OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT env var) - runtime overrides

This means project configs can override global defaults, and global configs can override remote organizational defaults.

However, currently global config supersedes project config. (I suspect this behaviour is the cause of several other permissions-related github issues.)

Steps to reproduce

1. Set ~/.opencode/opencode.json and (local) opencode.json to either of :

• restricted configuration :

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "permission": {"*": "ask"}
}

• unrestricted configuration :

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "permission": {"*": "allow"}
}

2. Launch opencode and ask "List directory content".
3. Results :

• global restricted + local unrestricted = "Permission required -> Read ."
• global unrestricted + local restricted = no permission required.
• no global configuration + local restricted = "Permission required -> Read ."
• no global configuration + local unrestricted = no permission required.
  The two last cases are expected and show that the local configuration works. The two first cases are the opposite of the documented behaviour, and show that the global configuration supersedes the local one.
