   Thanks for the suggestion, @cumal!

   If I understand correctly, you'd like an option in OpenCode Desktop on Windows to stop starting the bundled local server (opencode-cli.exe) when you only use a WSL server, so it doesn't run in the background for nothing. I couldn't find a setting for this today: the bundled server starts no matter which server you connect to.

   This can't be done as a plugin, because plugins run inside the server and the Desktop app is what starts that server. It would need a setting in Desktop itself. The maintainers will consider it.

   Related issues:

   • feature(desktop): system tray icon with clean shutdown of the background opencode-cli service (Windows) #50633: request for a tray icon to cleanly shut down the background opencode-cli service on Windows
   • [FEATURE]:Desktop app should support restarting WSL sidecar server after config changes #45889: request to restart the WSL server from Desktop
   • Terminal shell settings are shared between Local Server and WSL Server when both are configured #51994: settings shared between the Local Server and the WSL Server

   It would also help to know which OpenCode Desktop version you're using (shown in the app's settings or about screen).
