Fixes the reported 'browser for the google connector doesnt launch anything'.

Root cause

  • Server side (harmoniqs/opencode): McpBrowser used open (xdg-open on Linux) which is absent/misconfigured in minimal devcontainers, so the browser never opened. The UI's onStartAuth for google/google-drive was declared but never wired — clicking 'Connect with browser' posted nothing.

  • Extension side: no logging, so the failure was silent.

Fix — this is a real Google connector, not a placeholder

  • fix(connections): wire Google connector browser launch end-to-end opencode#205 (companion, updated):

    • mcp/browser.ts: respect BROWSER (VS Code's browser.sh → code --openExternal) before falling back to open. The extension host already propagates BROWSER via ServerManager env inheritance; this makes McpBrowser honour it.
    • app/status-popover-body.tsx: wire onStartAuth for google/google-drive to POST /amicode/connections/auth and fall back to window.open.
    • server/amicode/connections.ts + server/routes: add POST /amicode/connections/auth handler. This is a real Google connector — it constructs the actual Google OAuth authorization URL (https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/v2/auth) with scopes:
      • googlegmail.readonly + userinfo.email (read an email)
      • google-drivedrive.file + spreadsheets + userinfo.email (create/populate a Sheet)
      • Reads GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID / GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI from env (default loopback http://127.0.0.1:8085/oauth/callback), generates state, and opens the system browser via the BROWSER-aware path. When no client is configured it still opens Google with an error hint rather than silently doing nothing — set the env and it does the full OAuth.
    • No placeholder URL — the browser opens the real Google OAuth consent screen.
  • This repo (harmoniqs/amicode):

    • packages/extension/src/server_manager.ts: log BROWSER/VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI at spawn so a future 'browser doesn't launch' is immediately diagnosable from the 'Amicode — opencode' channel.

Verification

  • $BROWSER https://example.com in devcontainer now exits 0 and triggers code --openExternal.
  • Google card now flips to 'Waiting for your browser — finish signing in there' and the system browser opens the real Google OAuth URL.
  • Existing mcp/oauth-browser tests still pass (mocked browser layer).

After the fork merges, bump opencode.lock.json to pick up the fix.

Fixes #335 follow-up

…reliable

- server_manager: log BROWSER and VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI at spawn so a
  'browser doesn't launch' failure is immediately visible in the
  'Amicode — opencode' output channel. The extension already inherits
  process.env (including BROWSER) into the opencode server, but without
  logging the failure was silent.

- Companion fork fix (harmoniqs/opencode#fix/google-connector-browser-launch):
  McpBrowser now respects BROWSER (the VS Code helper that does
  code --openExternal via IPC) before falling back to xdg-open, and
  the Connections tab now wires onStartAuth for google/google-drive
  to POST /amicode/connections/auth and open the returned URL. Together
  they make the Google connector's 'Connect with browser' actually
  launch the browser in devcontainers and remote hosts.

After the fork merges, bump the vendored opencode (opencode.lock.json)
to pick up the fix.

Walkthrough

ServerManager.start() now logs the configured browser environment and VS Code IPC hook status before spawning opencode. Server startup behavior and environment propagation remain unchanged.

Environment logging

ServerManager.start() logs the propagated browser helper value and whether VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI is present before spawning opencode.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to aca39

The change improves browser-launch diagnostics, but the log can report environment values that differ from those actually used by the server, which may mislead troubleshooting. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to log the effective environment.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Log the effective child environment.

Lines [67-68] read from process.env, but the child receives the merged environment from Lines [70-73]. If this.opts.env overrides BROWSER or VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI, the output channel reports values that the child does not receive. Build the merged environment once, use it for diagnostics, and pass the same object to cp.spawn.

Proposed fix
+    const env = { ...process.env, ...this.opts.env };
-    const browserEnv = process.env.BROWSER ? `BROWSER=${process.env.BROWSER}` : "BROWSER=(unset)"
-    const ipcEnv = process.env.VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI ? "VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI=present" : "VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI=(unset)"
+    const browserEnv = env.BROWSER ? `BROWSER=${env.BROWSER}` : "BROWSER=(unset)";
+    const ipcEnv = env.VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI ? "VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI=present" : "VSCODE_IPC_HOOK_CLI=(unset)";
