   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • Opencode hangs at startup if a .git repo is present and inotify user instances run out #16610: Opencode hangs at startup if a .git repo is present and inotify user instances run out (same symptom: hang on startup in a git repo, file watcher involved)
   • [BUG] TUI cannot send messages when launched in any git repository directory (v1.3.2) #19193: TUI cannot send messages when launched in any git repository directory — log ends at service=bus type=file.watcher.updated subscribing, identical to the stall pattern here
   • Opencode hangs when opened in a directory with .git #6363 (closed): Opencode hangs when opened in a directory with .git

   If this is a distinct issue (e.g. specific to the structure of https://github.com/cfal/garcon rather than a general git-repo problem), please add any additional details that distinguish it from the above.
