opencode run fails with Session not found when OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD is set #24204
Description
Description
`opencode run` fails immediately with `Error: Session not found` when `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` is present in the environment.
This is reproducible without any model-specific behavior. The command succeeds after unsetting the server auth env vars.
Related: #14532 is closed; this issue provides a current minimal repro on `1.14.24` for the remaining `opencode run` path.
Plugins
None.
OpenCode version
1.14.24
Steps to reproduce
- Set a server password in the shell environment:
```bash
export OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD=secret
```
- Run:
```bash
opencode run "Reply with exactly OK."
```
- Observe:
```text
Error: Session not found
```
- Run the same command after unsetting the server auth env vars:
```bash
env -u OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD -u OPENCODE_SERVER_USERNAME \
opencode run "Reply with exactly OK."
```
- Observe that `opencode run` proceeds normally.
Expected: `opencode run` should work when `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` is set, or at least authenticate its own in-process server requests consistently with the server auth config.
Actual: the in-process server rejects the SDK client's session creation request, and the CLI reports `Session not found`.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:
opencode runfails withSession not found(same command, same error — different root cause suspected but worth verifying)OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORDis set (same env var, same auth failure pattern, different code path)If your issue is distinct from the above, please add a note clarifying how it differs.

Clarifying the duplicate suggestions:
opencode run/Session not foundsymptom, but it is a broader older report. This issue is specifically theOPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORDin-process server path: plainopencode runstarts its own in-process server, that server applies auth fromOPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD, and the in-process SDK client does not send matching Basic Auth headers.opencode run.The linked PR targets only the plain
opencode runin-process SDK client path.rayborg commentedon Apr 28, 2026
Additional confirmation on current versions:
1.14.281.14.2826.4, arm64This also happens naturally from an OpenCode Desktop-inherited process environment. Desktop starts its local sidecar with an ephemeral
OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD, and child shell/CLI processes can inherit that variable. A local non---attachopencode runthen fails withError: Session not found.Minimal repro still works with a dummy password on
1.14.28:No real secret values involved; this is just confirming the issue persists on
1.14.28and documenting the Desktop inheritance path.hades200082 commentedon May 27, 2026
Same issue here. Prevents open-ralph-wiggum from working.

There does not seem to be much appetite for outside PRs, so I've stopped pursuing trying to land this and other fixes.

This is actually an issue more generally for running
