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

  • #8676: fix: Plugin client returns 401 Unauthorized when OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD is set (Desktop)
  • #9706: [BUG] Plugin client missing Authorization header when OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD is set

Both describe the same root cause - when OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD is set (which happens automatically in the OpenCode Desktop app), plugins and background task agents fail with 401 Unauthorized because they lack the necessary Basic Auth credentials.

The Background Exploration Agent that fails in your case is likely a subagent/plugin that uses the client API, and appears to be affected by this same issue.

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