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

   • Improve error handling for Ripgrep binary download in offline environments #21646: Improve error handling for Ripgrep binary download in offline environments — also filed for Windows in an offline environment where ripgrep cannot be downloaded, though it focuses on better error messaging rather than bundling the binary.

   Your request (bundling ripgrep in the binary) is a distinct solution, but the underlying problem is the same. If bundling isn't feasible, the error-handling improvement in #21646 may address the user-facing pain in the meantime.

   I experienced this exact issue on two Windows machines. On one with internet, everything works - opencode downloads ripgrep into cache on first run. On an air-gapped machine, the cache folder stays empty, and the skill, grep, and glob tools all fail with "ripgrep execution failed". Installing ripgrep manually via winget and placing rg.exe in PATH fixed it, but this should not be required for a Desktop installer.

   Workaround that confirms the fix would work: copying a single static rg.exe (~5 MB) to the machine and putting it in PATH resolves everything - no other dependencies needed, no extraction, no cache structure.

   Suggestions:

   • Bundle ripgrep directly in the Windows NSIS installer and macOS DMG (it is a single statically-linked binary, ~5 MB)
   • Or at minimum, detect that the download failed and print a clear error message telling the user to install ripgrep system-wide, instead of failing silently

   What is the reason it is not build-in yet?

   I've been looking into this for the Windows CLI case. I have a local prototype that pins official x64/arm64 ripgrep assets, stages them beside opencode.exe, and resolves PATH -> packaged sibling -> cache -> download while preserving the npm and standalone install paths.

   Before opening a PR, two questions:

   1. Is the legacy CLI slice the right scope, or should this wait for a unified cross-product decision?
   2. Does the nested rg.exe need to be added to the Azure signing workflow, or should it remain upstream-unsigned?

   marked Windows Desktop installer is broken offline: ripgrep not bundled, core tools (grep, glob, skill) and built-in skill (customize-opencode) fail #34442 as a duplicate of this issue on Oct 1, 2026
