   Thanks for the report and the screenshots. I tried to reproduce this on 2.0.27 and couldn't so far.

   What I tried, on Linux:

   1. Created a session in a git project and got a reply.
   2. Closed the TUI and stopped the background server.
   3. Started opencode again, opened /sessions and picked the older session.

   The session reopened normally with its history, and the "Session location unavailable" screen didn't appear. I also tried with @dietrichgebert/ponytail loaded from a local copy, with the same result. I couldn't confirm that the plugin was actually active in my sandbox, though, so it's still a possible cause.

   These would help narrow it down:

   • Does it still happen if you temporarily remove @dietrichgebert/ponytail from your config?
   • Is the project directory a git repository? The "Worktree source not found" error you saw when creating a worktree is what happens in a folder without git (see TUI offers worktree creation for a project with no VCS, then fails with HTTP 400 #55215).
   • Does the directory shown on the "Session location unavailable" screen still exist at exactly that path? For example, was it moved or renamed, or is it a symlink?
   • How do you stop and start the background server, and do you use opencode attach / a remote server?
   • The server log from around the time you reopen the session (under ~/.local/share/opencode/log/), especially any WARN/ERROR lines. Any request that fails while the session's directory is loading shows this screen, so the log should show which one failed.

   Related issues, in case one matches your setup:

   • fix: plugin model without time crashes Model.snapshot and shows false "Session location unavailable" #54943: a plugin that breaks model loading makes this screen appear by mistake.
   • session: unable to resume a session after its directory is removed (Session location unavailable) #55035: sessions whose directory was deleted show this screen.
   • tui: false "Session location unavailable" prompt after network reconnect #55250 / tui: false "Session location unavailable" prompt after upgrade reconnect #49352: the screen appears by mistake after a reconnect or an upgrade.

   I'm closing this for now because there hasn't been a reply. On 2.0.27, I couldn't get older sessions to show "Session location unavailable" after restarting the background server, and the details I asked for are still needed to find the cause.

   If it still happens, comment here and we'll reopen it. These would help:

   • whether it still happens with @dietrichgebert/ponytail removed from your config
   • whether the project directory is a git repository and still exists at the path the screen shows
   • the server log lines from when you reopen the session (~/.local/share/opencode/log/)
