I'm using OpenAI Codex (5.2, now 5.3) on Windows 11, and I've never seen a file change appear in the Review tab on the desktop version of OpenCode. Is this a known bug for either Windows or OpenAI? (I searched GitHub but didn't find an existing issue. Relevant: #631)

I'd be happy to investigate further with some pointers as how Review is supposed to work. I assume it's watching for file changes, so it's a Windows issue. Does it use Git for diffs or something else?

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

  • #10716: TUI session_diff tracking not working on Windows - identical problem but in TUI mode where session_diff files remain empty despite file modifications
  • #11623: File detection in the Windows desktop workspace folder not functioning correctly - Windows file watching issue where changes only appear after restart
  • #12833: Session breaks / modified files not showing - modified files panel stops showing files in both TUI and web view
  • #10920: Desktop does not keep session changes current - changes tab not updated when files are modified externally
  • #631: Windows Support - umbrella issue tracking all Windows-specific problems

The root cause appears to be related to file watching/change detection on Windows affecting how the Review tab and session tracking work. Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.
