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

   • [Bug]: XDG Base Directory Spec violation — node_modules installed in ~/.config instead of ~/.local/share #27786: Same concern — node_modules, package.json, and related files are placed in ~/.config/opencode instead of a more appropriate directory (XDG ~/.local/share). That issue covers Linux as well, but the underlying problem and request are the same.

   V2 installs managed plugin and provider dependencies under its cache directory, not inside ~/.config/opencode. This removes the automatic node_modules and package manifest creation from the configuration folder. To get v2: npm i -g @opencode/cli@latest or curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/v2/install | bash (desktop: update the app). If you still see this on v2, please open a new issue with the details.

   6. V2 installs managed plugin and provider dependencies under its cache directory

   Would you like to share where that is? What should remain and what could be deleted?

   Because there's node_modules in ~/.opencode now and one still at ~/.config/opencode. While the ~/.cache/opencode only has bin/rg and a models.json.

   Then there's ~/.local/share/opencode and no node_modules there. And there is also ~/.local/state/opencode.

   To get v2

   Already upgrade to v2 via the prompt indide v1.

   So again:

   1. What is "its cache directory"?
   2. I followed the migration path – do you folks now what should have been deleted or moved to a backup/archive folder but wasn't done? Of if not can you please find out at least share that?
