Originally created by @jacquesbh on GitHub (Feb 12, 2026).

Originally assigned to: @rekram1-node on GitHub.

Description

Using the Desktop app, on macOS.

I've started a new workspace (git worktree) and I am running some sessions on it.

The main agent often ask for permission to access "external_dir" which is the directory of the worktree itself inside the ~/.opencode directory.

I always need to deny the permission and say You don't need to access external directory, everything you need is in the current dir. and it continues correctly.

Plugins

No response

OpenCode version

1.1.60, but it happens for a while now.

Steps to reproduce

Hard to do so, you need a new workspace and your agent needs to decide to use the external directory instead of current…
I use GPT 5.2 Codex xhigh most of the time.

Hi, I've reviewed the config myself, I have some MCPs, some agents and sub-agents. Nothing fancy, no special configuration or anything.

The main agent was working when I had my issue (the Build one), for me the hint is on workspaces.

I can share the config after cleaning it if you really need but imho…

For me the agent knows it's in a workspace but somehow it "forgets". I didn't compact lately, using gpt 5.2.

Hi there! is oc requesting access for the workspace's own directory? or do you have different workspaces and it's trying to access the directory of one from another?
