   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • opentui: fatal: Anchor does not exist #7061: opentui: fatal: Anchor does not exist - Another @opentui/solid reconciler error with very similar stack trace pattern (reconcileArrays → insertExpression → createRenderEffect)
   • TUI Crashes #4606: TUI Crashes - TUI crash after component rendering with similar reconciliation failure
   • TUI crashes during prompt edit #3749: TUI crashes during prompt edit - Related crash in prompt/index.tsx (the same file mentioned in your stack trace)
   • opentui: fatal: answer.join is not a function. (In 'answer.join(", ")', 'answer.join' is undefined) #7392: opentui: fatal: answer.join is not a function - Another component type error during rendering
   • Opencode crashes the entire terminal session right after open #1220: Opencode crashes the entire terminal session right after open - TUI startup crash issue

   The root cause appears to be related to @opentui/solid component registration or version incompatibility. Note that your stack trace shows @opentui/[email protected] but bun.lock lists 0.1.70 - this version mismatch may be significant.

   Feel free to ignore if your specific case differs from these issues.

   Are you linking opentui locally for dev?

   I ran into this exact same error today after updating my local branch. It looks like an issue with Bun's dependency caching or a stale version of the SolidJS TUI reconciler getting stuck in node_modules.

   Solution:
   A complete clean install fixed the crash immediately. Here are the steps I took:

   1. Delete the existing modules: rm -rf node_modules
   2. Reinstall packages: bun install
   3. Rebuild the project: bun run build --single

   Hope this helps anyone who gets stuck on this!

   This worked for me - thanks!

   Hitting this on the official prebuilt release binary (v1.14.41, Linux x64),
   which suggests this isn't just a local dev / Bun cache issue - the duplicate is shipped in the release.

   Root cause

   The release tarball includes two copies of @opentui/solid in node_modules:

   node_modules/@opentui/solid → v0.2.2 (used by opencode)
   node_modules/opentui-spinner/node_modules/@opentui/solid → v0.1.105 (used by opentui-spinner)

   opentui-spinner declares @opentui/solid: ^0.1.49 as a peer dependency, while the workspace catalog pins @opentui/solid to 0.2.2. Since
   0.2.2 doesn't satisfy ^0.1.49, Bun installs a separate copy under opentui-spinner/node_modules/.

   opentui-spinner/dist/solid.mjs calls extend({ spinner: ... }), but that extend resolves to the v0.1.105 instance and registers the
   component on its own componentCatalogue. The TUI itself uses v0.2.2, whose catalogue never receives the registration. When <spinner> is
   rendered, the v0.2.2 reconciler throws Unknown component type: spinner.

   I verified this by inspecting strings in the compiled binary — both extend({ spinner: ... }) calls are present, but they target different
   module instances. This also explains why rm -rf node_modules && bun install && bun run build --single sometimes works for people: depending
   on the resolver state, Bun occasionally hoists a single copy and the bug disappears, but it isn't deterministic.

   Verified fix

   Adding the following to the root package.json overrides, then bun install --force and rebuilding, eliminates the duplicate and fixes
   the crash:

   "overrides": {
   "@opentui/solid": "0.2.2",
   "@opentui/core": "0.2.2"
   }
   
   After this, node_modules/opentui-spinner/node_modules/@opentui/ no longer exists, and the rebuilt binary renders the spinner correctly. Confirmed
   locally on Linux x64 with v1.14.41.
   
   Suggested upstream fixes
   
   1. Add the override above to this repo so prebuilt releases never ship the duplicate, or
   2. Bump opentui-spinner to widen its peer dep range (e.g. ^0.1.49 || ^0.2.0) - the extend() API used by opentui-spinner/dist/solid.mjs is identical between v0.1.x and v0.2.2, so no code change in the spinner itself should be needed.
