OpenCode adds minimal mode with native scrollback and plugin tracing

OpenCode previewed a non-fullscreen minimal mode that keeps native terminal scrollback intact while refactoring core logic into internal plugins with tracing. The update matters because terminal-first users get steadier sessions and plugin hook performance becomes easier to inspect.

OpenCode adds zero-retention for Go providers as operators report 3-4 GB idle sessions

OpenCode says all Go models now run under zero-data-retention agreements and that hosted requests use the same upstream providers as direct access. That tightens the privacy boundary for hosted coding agents, but operators still need to watch RAM use, rapid updates, and plan economics.

OpenCode launches open-source coding agent with `opencode serve` and multi-backend web UI

OpenCode shipped terminal, desktop, and `opencode serve` workflows for an open-source coding agent with LSP support, plugins, and more than 75 providers. Users should look at the multi-backend web sessions, IPC plugins, and sandboxed local setup as the main differentiators.

OpenCode adds remote sandboxes and syncs agent state across devices

OpenCode is adding remote sandboxes, synced state across laptop, server, and cloud, and more product surface inside its plugin system. That makes long-running off-laptop workflows more practical, but operators should still review telemetry, sandbox, and exposure defaults.

OpenCode can now run from AWS CloudShell via npx and inherit AWS auth plus Bedrock models; the same update also brought Firecrawl, India billing, and heap-snapshot debugging. It is becoming a real ops workflow, not just a local terminal toy.
