   Thanks for the detailed report. I reproduced this with the server API on 2.1.2, and it still happens on the latest dev (248bfbe).

   What I did (the script is below):

   1. Started opencode serve with a fresh data directory.
   2. Sent GET /api/vcs/status and GET /api/vcs/diff for a .worktrees/<name> folder that doesn't exist. Both correctly return 404 LocationNotFoundError.
   3. Checked GET /api/project: it now lists a project for that missing folder (no vcs, no sessions).
   4. Restarted the server: the project is still listed.

   So the 404 is right, but the service saves the project before it notices the folder is missing, and it keeps it afterwards. That fits what you saw after the app restarted with the deleted workspace still in "recently closed". I only tested the server side; I didn't check the Desktop "recently closed" handling.

   Related issues:

   • project: no API or UI to remove projects and recently-closed project entries #51197: no way to remove projects or recently-closed entries; a comment there shows location requests saving project rows
   • Can't delete a workspace whose folder was removed outside OpenCode (DELETE /api/worktree → 400) #57987: deleting a workspace whose folder was removed outside OpenCode
   • desktop: missing or inaccessible project folder breaks project requests #50951 and tui: cannot remove stale projects from /open list; desktop crashes on non-existent project #49442: how a missing project folder is handled
