Problem

When the OpenCode server fails to start or the supervisor exhausts its recovery ladder, the failure reason is invisible: startup waits out the full 30s health timeout even when the process exits or fails to spawn, dev mode discards the server's stdout/stderr, and the UI shows only a generic unhealthy toast.

Changes

  • Fail startup immediately when the spawned server exits or cannot be launched, reporting the exit code, signal, or spawn error with the stderr tail; the health-poll loop aborts on process exit instead of timing out.
  • Capture OpenCode stdout/stderr in every mode (mirrored to the terminal in dev); route all startup failures through one recordStartupError helper; log when the supervisor enters failed after exhausted recovery.
  • Move OpenCode lifecycle state/recovery/status types to the shared package and expose them to the frontend through the health payload.
  • Add a persistent failure toast (once per distinct failure) with View logs and Restart actions plus a back-online notice; move restart mutations out of useServerHealth; remove the dead frontend rollback API call.
  • Show a server-issue panel in Settings → Logs with the failure reason, attempted recoveries, and a "Show errors only" shortcut; accept 503 health responses; support a cancel action on toasts.
  • Update the logs and server-health feature docs.

Testing

  • Backend: opencode-single-server + opencode-supervisor tests 116 passed; tsc clean; eslint 0 errors.
  • Frontend: useOpenCodeFailureToast, LogsViewer, ServerHealthStatus, SandboxSettings, MoreDrawer tests 43 passed; tsc and eslint clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • OpenCode server failures now trigger a persistent notification with options to view logs or restart the server. A recovery notification appears once the server is healthy again.
    • The Logs view highlights unhealthy, recovering, or failed server states, shows failure details and recovery actions, and offers a shortcut to filter for errors.
    • Sidebar sections can now be collapsed independently, and their state is remembered.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Startup failures, including early exits and launch errors, are reported promptly with available error details instead of waiting for a health-check timeout.
    • Server output is captured in all modes, with development output also shown in the terminal.
    • Toasts now match the selected theme.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the logs and server health guides with failure reporting details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared OpenCode lifecycle data, captures child-process output in all modes, and reports startup failures through health data, logs, and notifications. The frontend adds restart confirmation handling and accepts HTTP 503 health responses. Sidebar sections now track collapsed state independently.

Changes

OpenCode Failure Reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lifecycle and health data
shared/src/opencode/*, backend/src/services/opencode-supervisor.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useServerHealth.ts, frontend/src/api/fetchWrapper.ts, frontend/src/api/settings.ts
Shared lifecycle states, recovery actions, and status data are exported and used by the supervisor. Health responses accept HTTP 503 and can be mapped to OpenCode issues. The rollback settings API method is removed.
Process startup error reporting
backend/src/services/opencode-single-server.ts, backend/test/services/opencode-single-server.test.ts, docs/features/logs.md
The server captures stdout and stderr in all modes and records startup errors. Health polling stops when the child exits. Tests cover exit diagnostics, stderr decoding, and intentional stops.
Frontend failure alerts and actions
frontend/src/App.tsx, frontend/src/hooks/useOpenCodeFailureToast*, frontend/src/components/settings/LogsViewer*, frontend/src/lib/toast.ts, frontend/src/index.css, frontend/src/components/navigation/MoreDrawer.test.tsx, frontend/src/components/settings/{SandboxSettings,ServerHealthStatus}.test.tsx, docs/features/{logs,server-health}.md
The frontend adds persistent failure and recovery toasts, restart confirmation, theme-aware toast styling, and a Logs alert with failure details and recovery actions. Related health-hook mocks and feature documentation are updated.

Independent Sidebar Sections

Layer / File(s) Summary
Independent section state
frontend/src/hooks/useSidebarCollapsed.ts, frontend/src/hooks/useSidebarCollapsed.test.tsx, frontend/src/components/navigation/DesktopSidebar.tsx, frontend/src/components/navigation/DesktopSidebar.test.tsx
Sidebar sections default to open and persist independently as closed sections. The Sessions and Menu sections use their individual state.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to edc3f

The changes are mergeable with a bounded readability concern: success and warning toast colors should be darkened. Sidebar storage failures also merit correction, but are pre-existing.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to edc3f

Development-mode failure diagnostics can now include raw server stderr in an unauthenticated health response. Sensitive disclosure depends on what the child process prints and who can reach the API. Restart authentication remains enforced, and process-generation checks improve failure attribution.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: Non-production stderr is newly captured and incorporated into failure diagnostics returned by the unauthenticated health endpoint. A caller able to reach that endpoint could receive sensitive child-process output if it appears in the retained tail. Production stderr disclosure predates this PR; the introduced exposure is the extension to non-production execution.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The diagnostic exposure is scoped to the managed OpenCode instance and reachable health API, not to a new authenticated action or privilege grant. Reading the public response requires network reachability but no application identity. Actual sensitive contents and external ingress restrictions were not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A network caller can poll health after a non-production child failure and receive retained stderr through error or opencodeLifecycle.lastError. Head newly captures that output in non-production. This is a supported disclosure path, not a demonstrated credential leak; production already had the corresponding stderr path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The new UI health monitor uses isAuthenticated to enable polling. Logs navigation changes the settings tab, and restart actions continue through protected settings endpoints. These controls counter an App-entrypoint authentication-bypass concern, but do not protect the public health payload.
  • observed — Stderr buffering is capped at 10,240 characters and the nonzero-exit message includes at most its last 500 characters. The buffer-to-health diagnostic path performs no redaction; limiting length does not classify or remove sensitive output.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Process shutdown retains identity-attestation checks and termination confirmation. Supervisor stop can still report stopped after a manager refusal or remain stopping after an exception, but those transitions predate the PR. The inspected production caller uses this method during signal-driven shutdown before process exit, so this was not retained as an introduced live-state concern.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Separate public liveness information from detailed diagnostics: return an allowlisted status or error category publicly and keep raw process output behind authenticated diagnostic access. Apply the distinction to lifecycle.lastError as well as the top-level error field.

recordSpawnedProcessExit to stop health polling immediately, but defer
finalizing the exit diagnostic until stderr ends or the process emits close; use
a bounded wait so diagnostic recording cannot stall indefinitely.
- Line 629: Update the stderrOutput tail handling to use a dedicated UTF-8
StringDecoder so characters split across chunks remain intact, and flush the
decoder when stderr ends. Add a regression test covering a multibyte character
split across stderr chunks.

child exit so start() rejects promptly rather than waiting for the health

probe completion while the child remains running.

776-812: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Clear intentionalStop after the matching exit.

stop() sets this.intentionalStop at Line 941. The code clears it only when termination throws. After a successful stop, the marker stays set until the next stop(). The marker includes the generation, so a later child with a different generation will not match it. The marker is still stale state after the stop. If waitForProcessOrGroupExit sees the process exit before Node emits exit, the timing still works, because the marker remains set when the handler runs. Clear the marker in the exit handler after the classification reads it. Use a generation match so a newer stop does not lose its marker.

♻️ Proposed change
       exitDiagnosticIntentionalStop = intentionalStop !== null
         && intentionalStop.pid === spawnedServerPid
         && intentionalStop.generation === spawnedGeneration
         && (signal === 'SIGTERM' || signal === 'SIGKILL' || code === 0)
+      if (intentionalStop !== null && intentionalStop.generation === spawnedGeneration) {
+        this.intentionalStop = null
+      }

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Increase contrast for success and warning toast text.

In light mode, --success-text (#059669) and --warning-text (#d97706) appear on the white --color-popover background. Their contrast is about 3.8:1 and 3.2:1, below the 4.5:1 minimum for normal text. Sonner applies these variables to rich-color toast text, which can make success and warning messages harder to read. Use text colors that meet the contrast minimum against each background.
