   Thanks for the report! To work out what is happening, could you share a few more details?

   1. Where you see it: the opencode TUI in Windows Terminal, opencode run, or the desktop app?
   2. Steps: for example, cd into a new empty folder, run opencode, send a prompt, and then what happens.
   3. The exact error text, copied as it appears, or a screenshot. Please also say whether you see a notice like "The server restarted while you were working".
   4. Provider and model you are using.
   5. Logs: the relevant lines from %USERPROFILE%\.local\share\opencode\log\opencode.log from around the time it happens. Lines mentioning Event stream stalled, Background service is unresponsive or background service starting are especially useful.
   6. Is the new folder inside a folder that contains a .git directory, for example a stray .git in your user folder?

   You can reply here with the details, or edit the issue. If you edit it, please also leave a comment saying you've updated it, so we know when you're done.

   These existing issues may already cover your problem (ordered by likelihood):

   • cli(win): 45s event-stream idle watchdog restarts the managed service, aborting all sessions/subagents #52049: on Windows, the background service gets restarted when its event stream stalls, so the reply never arrives and you have to ask again. One commenter traced their case to a stray empty .git folder in their home directory.
   • desktop(win): background service SIGKILLed mid-turn when snapshot capture blocks /api/info for >6s -> ~60s restart loop, aborted turns #51216: the background service is restarted when it is busy (for example, taking a snapshot of a very large folder tree), which causes a restart loop.
   • [service]: managed service stalls, watchdog recovery loses sessions (404 "session not found"), restart stampede races the service slot (2.0.25 vs 2.0.26) #54181: the background service stalls, and its recovery can lose sessions ("session not found").

   We haven't heard back, so I'm closing this for now. Without the exact error text, the steps to reproduce and the log lines from %USERPROFILE%\.local\share\opencode\log\opencode.log, we can't tell what is restarting your sessions on 2.0.22.

   If it's the Windows background-service restart problem (no reply, then you have to ask again), these issues may already cover it. You can follow them for updates:

   • cli(win): 45s event-stream idle watchdog restarts the managed service, aborting all sessions/subagents #52049: on Windows, the background service is restarted when its event stream stalls
   • desktop(win): background service SIGKILLed mid-turn when snapshot capture blocks /api/info for >6s -> ~60s restart loop, aborted turns #51216: the background service is restarted when it is busy, which causes a restart loop
   • [service]: managed service stalls, watchdog recovery loses sessions (404 "session not found"), restart stampede races the service slot (2.0.25 vs 2.0.26) #54181: the background service stalls, and recovery can lose sessions

   If it still happens, reply here with those details and we can reopen this. Thanks!
