Are you sure this is still an issue?

Additional Diagnosis

I've investigated this issue and found the root cause:

The rename DOES work at the backend level

The JSON files in storage are correctly updated. For example:

{
  "id": "ses_4e3a579daffeoAdHvBK3FdvzlE",
  "title": "Debugging rename function in opencode",  // ✅ Updated correctly
  ...
}

The problem is in the UI sync mechanism

The issue is in packages/opencode/src/cli/cmd/tui/context/sync.tsx:

case "session.updated": {
  const result = Binary.search(store.session, event.properties.info.id, (s) => s.id)
  if (result.found) {
    setStore("session", result.index, reconcile(event.properties.info))
    break
  }
  // If not found, it tries to insert at the wrong index
  setStore(
    "session",
    produce((draft) => {
      draft.splice(result.index, 0, event.properties.info)
    }),
  )
  break
}

The Binary.search may fail to find the session if the session array in the store is not sorted in the same order that Binary.search expects (by ID string comparison).

Workaround

Close the session list (Escape) and reopen it (Ctrl+X L) - the renamed title will appear since it's already persisted.

Environment

• OpenCode version: 1.0.152
• OS: macOS
• Storage: Using symlink from ~/.local/share/opencode/storage to ~/context/opencode/storage

I'm working on a PR to fix this.

@rekram1-node This seems to be working now. It probably was pulling the name from a cached index for me instead of the new name given. Once all opencode instances were restarted, it seems to have been fixed. Thank you!

Yeah we don't sync across instances rn we should fix that
