[Bug]: opencode.json discoverability

[s-KaiNet]

App Variant

Electron

Operating System & Version

win11

Issue Summary

The opencode.json is ignored under certain conditions

Steps to Reproduce

I have a solution, which is git-controlled. The root of the solution contains folders with specific projects. Every folder has it's own opencode.json with a set of mcps and other things. I don't keep opencode.json in the root (in the same folder where .git is located).

1. Run the CodeNomad from project folder - it shows no mcp, despite there is a opencode.json file.
2. If you run opencode from that folder, it correctly shows running mcps.
3. If I add opencode.json in the root folder, then CodeNomad loads that root config and ignores the dedicated opencode.json in sub-folder (from where CodeNomad is running).

Expected Behavior

When you run CodeNomad in a folder with opencode.json, it should read and load it.

Thanks @s-KaiNet ,

CodeNomad doesn't manage by itself and opencode.json is read by OpenCode.
To confirm if the issue is on CodeNomad side or OpenCode, can you run opencode in CLI in the project folder and confirm if opencode.json is read correctly and MCP is found?

Thanks

Yeah, these are more precise steps if it helps:

1. Create a folder ("config-issue")
2. run git init. Add text file, git add *, git commit -m Initial
3. Create sub-folder proj-1, add opencode.json (with whatever mcp):

{
    "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
    "mcp": {
        "chrome-devtools": {
            "command": [
                "npx",
                "-y",
                "chrome-devtools-mcp@latest",
                "--autoConnect"
            ],
            "type": "local"
        }
    }
}

4. inside proj-1 run opencode - mcp server is visible:

5. Run CodeNomad in the same folder - in the files list it shows the root files, not the runing folder, mcp's are empty

6. Go to root "config-issue" and delete ".git". Open CodeNomad inside "proj-1" - it works as expected:

Thanks @s-KaiNet

Would it be possible for you to attach the test folder

[s-KaiNet]

Yes, sure -

@s-KaiNet - Is this issue still present?

[s-KaiNet]

Yeah, in the v0.13.3-dev-20260404-7996e514 it's still available.
