cli: TUI plugin installation fails with NpmInstallFailedError #58514
Description
Summary
The TUI plugin opencode-sdd-engram-manage consistently fails during global plugin reconciliation and is never installed.
Environment
- opencode version: 2.1.4
- OS: Linux x86_64, PikaOS kernel 7.2.6
- Terminal: xterm-256color, truecolor
- Shell: /bin/bash
- Install/channel: latest
- Active plugins: opencode-subagent-statusline, opencode-sdd-engram-manage, and local plugins
Reproduction
- Add
opencode-sdd-engram-manageto the global OpenCode CLI plugin list. - Start or reload OpenCode in a project.
- Observe plugin reconciliation.
Expected Behavior
The plugin dependencies should install successfully and the plugin should appear in opencode plugin list.
Actual Behavior
Plugin preparation fails repeatedly:
plugin operation failed
stage=prepare
error=NpmInstallFailedError
target=opencode-sdd-engram-manage
install=true
The plugin does not appear in opencode plugin list.
The failure reproduced after reload and during a bounded debug startup. Direct npm metadata queries and dependency dry-run resolution succeeded, but OpenCode did not expose the underlying npm stderr.
Additional Context
- The plugin package is publicly available and declares compatible engines:
- Node >=24 <25
- OpenCode >=1.17.11
- Node 24.20.0 and npm 11.19.0 are installed.
- No project-local OpenCode configuration is involved.
- A duplicate legacy TUI declaration was removed; the failure persists with only the V2 CLI declaration.
- Earlier logs also showed intermittent network timeouts for unrelated OpenCode external fetches.
- No credentials or secrets are included in this report.
- Relevant sanitized log location:
~/.local/share/opencode/log/opencode.log

Thanks for the report! I think this is a duplicate of #50080. It covers the same package (
opencode-sdd-engram-manage) set as a bare name, which resolves to@latest. That fails plugin reconciliation atstage=preparewith anNpmInstallFailedErrorwhose message is empty. The real cause,unable to resolve dependency treeatNpm.reify, only appears when you runopencode plugin add opencode-sdd-engram-managedirectly. System npm installs the package fine.Possible duplicates and related issues, ordered by likelihood:
stage=prepareNpmInstallFailedErrorfor this plugin during startup reconciliation; closed as a duplicate of plugin install: TUI plugin fails with empty NpmInstallFailedError — resolver rejects a spec npm installs fine #50080.Invalid V2 TUI plugin moduleerror; closed as a duplicate of plugin install: TUI plugin fails with empty NpmInstallFailedError — resolver rejects a spec npm installs fine #50080.Workaround reported in #50080: pin an exact version in your CLI plugin list, e.g.
"[email protected]". You can also runopencode plugin add [email protected], which installs through the same code path.A short comment on #50080 saying it still happens on 2.1.4 (Linux) would help. The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

Closing this as a duplicate of #50080, since there's been no reply in the past day explaining how it's different. #50080 covers the same failure:
opencode-sdd-engram-manageset as a bare name (@latest) fails reconciliation atstage=preparewith an emptyNpmInstallFailedError. The cause isunable to resolve dependency treeatNpm.reify. Until it's fixed, pinning an exact version (e.g."[email protected]") works around it. Please follow #50080 for updates. A short comment there saying it still happens on 2.1.4 (Linux) would help. If your problem turns out to be different, reply here and we can reopen. Thanks for the detailed report!
