[bug] desktop edit preview not showing when using opencode-cursor

[evannotfound]

Description

after installing opencode-cursor, on the desktop app, when opencode start to edit files, instead of showing editing preview and what changed, it only shows oc_edit tool execution.

reproduced on both my remote vps and my local macos

after removing the plugin, Patch start to show up again

Expected behavior

the conversations on older version shows correct patch preview

OpenCode version

v1.17.9

Steps to reproduce

1. install opencode-cursor plugin
2. open opencode desktop
3. ask opencode to edit a file
4. see oc_edit instead of just Patch with edit preview

thanks mate, good report.

I think this is the desktop UI keying off the tool name. The plugin exposes cursor edits as oc_edit, and we map that back to the normal local edit executor, but opencode desktop seems to only show the rich patch preview for its native patch/edit path. So the edit works, but the UI shows the raw oc_edit call instead of the patch view.

I’ll keep this open and look at whether we can keep the oc_edit compatibility path without losing the desktop preview. I don’t want to just remove the alias, because it fixed earlier cursor/tool naming issues.

TL;DR plugin designed for opencode not opencode desktop so UI output might show things like oc_edit instead of Patch for example.

cheers, RAMA

flagging this help wanted. the fix direction from my earlier comment still stands: keep the oc_edit compatibility alias without losing the desktop patch preview, which probably means presenting the native tool name back to opencode while keeping the alias on the cursor side. would make a good PR if anyone wants to take it on, happy to point at the relevant tool mapping code.
