Terminal shell settings are shared between Local Server and WSL Server when both are configured #51994
Description
Description
When both a Local Server and a WSL Server are configured, the Terminal shell preference is not isolated per server. Changing the shell for one server affects the other, and the setting can also change after restarting the desktop.
Plugins
local skill
OpenCode version
v2
Steps to reproduce
- Configure both a Local Server and a WSL Server in OpenCode (for example, Ubuntu-24.04).
- Set the Local Server Terminal shell to
pwsh(PowerShell). - Leave the WSL Server Terminal shell as
Auto (Default)or set it to another value. - Restart the desktop environment or restart OpenCode.
- Switch between the two servers or open terminals again and observe that the shell choice is not isolated.
Expected behavior:
Each server should keep its own Terminal shell preference independently. For example, Local Server uses pwsh, while WSL Server uses its own default shell without affecting the other.
Actual behavior:
The shell setting is shared or overridden across servers. After changing one server's shell setting, the other server changes as well, and the issue persists after restart.

Thanks for the detailed report and screenshots. Each server is meant to keep its own Terminal shell: the Servers settings page stores the shell in that server's own global config. So what you describe looks like a bug, not intended behaviour.
I couldn't reproduce it, because it needs the Windows desktop app with a WSL server, which isn't available in this environment. A maintainer with a Windows and WSL setup will need to look at it.
Two things would help:
opencode --version).pwshon the Local Server, whether the WSL distro's global OpenCode config (for example~/.config/opencode/inside WSL) contains ashellentry, or only the Windows-side config does.
