* feat(plugin): OpenCode Companion beta.8 upgrade + streaming/overflow
fixes

Upgrade to plugin API 21 and reverse the chat so the newest message sits
at the bottom with auto-scroll:

- panel: reverse message list to oldest-first; pin the scroll to the
  bottom via stickToBottom, jump there on open and session switch via
  scrollToBottomRev, and clear the stick flag in onScroll when the user
  scrolls away so reading history doesn't yank them down.
- composer: enable submitOnEnter so Enter sends and Shift+Enter inserts
  a
  newline; update en/vi placeholder and send-tooltip strings.
- panel: render assistant replies as markdown (headings, lists, tables),
  keeping user messages as plain labels.

Fix runtime errors surfaced during use:

- panel: pin markdown width to WRAP — ui.markdown has no maxWidth prop,
  so
  a bare flexGrow left it unconstrained and single-line text overflowed.
- panel: wrap fenced code blocks in monospace labels with a maxWidth —
  noctalia's MarkdownView never wraps code, so long bash/code lines
  spilled outside the panel. Text outside code fences stays markdown.
- panel: coerce onScroll(offset, maxOffset) args with tonumber — the
  reconciler passes them as strings, raising "attempt to compare number
  <= string".
- service: handle message.part.updated / message.updated streaming via
  throttled reload; acknowledge message.part.delta without reloading
  (the
  server emits one per token, and reloading on each decodes the whole
  history and blows the async callback CPU budget in json.decode).
- service: handle session.updated / session.diff with a throttled
  session
  reload so auto-generated titles stay current in the chooser.

Verified with luac syntax checks and a standalone split_markdown test
(5 cases) and JSON validation of the translation files.

* update version to 0.2.0

# OpenCode Companion
A Noctalia v5 plugin that puts [OpenCode](https://opencode.ai/) on your bar — a glanceable status dot, a native chat panel, session management, and MCP status — all driven by the OpenCode HTTP API. No embedded terminal, no key emulation.

## Plugin
| Field | Value |
| ---------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| ID | `weinguyen/opencode-companion` |
| Entries | Bar widget: `widget`; panels: `panel-fill`, `panel`; service: `service` |
| Plugin API | 3 |
Built and tested against:
- **Noctalia** v5.0.0 (97917d9ca07e)
- **OpenCode** v1.18.13
## Requirements
- **Noctalia v5** (beta or newer) with `plugin_api >= 3` support
- **[OpenCode](https://opencode.ai/)** installed and available on your `PATH` (`opencode --version` to verify)
- A configured OpenCode provider (run `opencode` once to set up auth)
## Install
```sh
# Clone the community-plugins repo (if you haven't already)
git clone https://github.com/... community-plugins
# Symlink into Noctalia plugins directory
ln -s "$PWD/community-plugins/opencode-companion" ~/.local/share/noctalia/plugins/opencode-companion
# Enable the plugin
noctalia msg plugins enable weinguyen/opencode-companion
```
## Usage
### Adding the widget to your bar
1. Open Noctalia Settings → Bar
2. Click **Add Widget**
3. Select **OpenCode Companion** (the code-circle icon)
4. The widget appears on your bar
### Opening the panel
- **Left click** the bar widget → opens/closes the panel
- **Right click** → quick-create a new session
- **Middle click** → open current session in terminal (`opencode attach`)
### Panel workflow
When you first open the panel (after a reboot), the **session chooser** appears. From there you can:
- Create a new session
- Pick an existing session (sorted by most recently updated)
- Filter sessions by workspace (visible in the subtitle)
Once a session is selected, the **chat view** shows:
- Message history (user + assistant)
- Tool call status cards (if enabled)
- Reasoning text (if enabled)
- Streaming responses as they arrive
Type a prompt in the composer and press Enter or click Send.
### IPC
```sh
# Toggle the panel (full-height, right side)
noctalia msg panel-toggle weinguyen/opencode-companion:panel-fill
# Toggle the panel (compact, near click)
noctalia msg panel-toggle weinguyen/opencode-companion:panel
# Force refresh
noctalia msg plugin weinguyen/opencode-companion:service all refresh
# Reconnect to server
noctalia msg plugin weinguyen/opencode-companion:service all reconnect
# Create a new session
noctalia msg plugin weinguyen/opencode-companion:service all create_session
```
## Settings
| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------------- | ------ | ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `server_mode` | string | `"auto"` | `"auto"` manages a local server; `"external"` connects to a URL |
| `server_host` | string | `"127.0.0.1"` | Hostname the managed server binds to (loopback only) |
| `server_port` | double | `4096` | Port the managed server listens on |
| `server_url` | string | `""` | External server URL (used in `"external"` mode) |
| `default_workspace` | folder | `""` | Default working directory for new sessions |
| `default_model` | string | `""` | Default model in `provider/model` format |
| `default_agent` | string | `"build"` | Default agent for new sessions |
| `auto_start` | bool | `true` | Auto-start the managed server |
| `show_tool_calls` | bool | `true` | Show tool call status cards |
| `show_reasoning` | bool | `false` | Show reasoning/thinking text |
| `max_messages_load` | double | `50` | Max messages to load per session |
| `debug_logging` | bool | `false` | Print debug messages |
## Session Lifecycle
### Within the same boot
- Selecting a session, closing the panel, and reopening it preserves the active session
- Draft text is preserved when the panel closes
- Unread responses are tracked and shown as a badge on the bar widget
- The SSE connection stays alive while the panel is closed
### After reboot
- The plugin detects reboot via `/proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id`
- After reboot, the session chooser appears instead of auto-opening the last session
- Old sessions are still available to select
- The active session is persisted to `~/.local/state/noctalia/opencode-companion/opencode_state.json`
### Boot-ID behavior
| Condition | Behavior |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------- |
| Boot ID matches saved state | Restore active session on first open |
| Boot ID differs (reboot) | Show session chooser; keep session list |
| Saved session no longer exists | Show session chooser |
## Security Notes
- **Loopback only**: The managed server binds to `127.0.0.1` by default
- **No credential storage**: The plugin does not store API keys or tokens
- **Shell quoting**: All paths and arguments are shell-escaped before command execution
- **No auto-approve**: Permission requests are never auto-approved
- **No secret logging**: Passwords and tokens are not written to logs
When running in `auto` mode without authentication, any local process can reach the managed server. For multi-user systems, consider:
- Setting `OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD` before starting the server
- Using `external` mode with a password-protected server
## MCP Status
The plugin reads MCP status from OpenCode's `/mcp` endpoint. To check Context7 and Firecrawl:
```sh
curl http://127.0.0.1:4096/mcp | jq
```
Example response:
```json
{
"context7": { "status": "connected" },
"firecrawl": { "status": "connected" },
"github": { "status": "connected" }
}
```
Status values: `connected`, `failed`, `disabled`.
The plugin does **not** add or configure MCP servers — it only reports their status. Configure OpenCode MCP servers through your `opencode.json` or the TUI.
## Troubleshooting
### Widget shows offline
```sh
# Verify opencode is on PATH
which opencode
# Start a server manually to test
opencode serve --hostname 127.0.0.1 --port 4096 &
# Check health
curl http://127.0.0.1:4096/global/health
```
### Server fails to start
```sh
# Check for port conflicts
ss -tlnp | grep 4096
# Try a different port in plugin settings
```
### Panel doesn't open
```sh
# Verify plugin is enabled
noctalia msg plugins list
# Try toggling manually
noctalia msg panel-toggle weinguyen/opencode-companion:panel
```
### SSE events not arriving
OpenCode 1.14.42+ had SSE regressions. Upgrade to 1.18.13+ if events stop flowing. The plugin handles reconnection with exponential backoff.
### Debug logging
Enable `debug_logging` in plugin settings, then check Noctalia logs:
```sh
journalctl --user -u noctalia -f
```
## Logs
Debug output (when enabled) is prefixed with `[opencode-companion]`. Look for:
- Connection state changes
- SSE events received
- IPC messages handled
- HTTP request failures
## Known Limitations
- **No `ui.markdown`**: Responses are rendered as plain `ui.label`. Code blocks lose syntax highlighting.
- **Single-line composer fallback**: If `multiline` input is not fully supported, the composer falls back to single-line.
- **Panel layer**: Panels render at `Layer::Top` — notifications and polkit prompts may cover the panel.
- **No desktop orb**: Initial release includes only the bar widget. A desktop presence orb is planned.
- **Boot-ID edge case**: If the boot ID file is unreadable, session restoration is skipped.
- **SSE reconnection**: After server restart, SSE reconnects with backoff (up to 30s delay).
- **No model/agent switching mid-session**: Model and agent are set at session creation.
## Uninstall
```sh
# Disable the plugin
noctalia msg plugins disable weinguyen/opencode-companion
# Remove the symlink
rm ~/.local/share/noctalia/plugins/opencode-companion
# Optionally remove saved state
rm -rf ~/.local/state/noctalia/opencode-companion
```
## Roadmap
- [ ] Desktop presence orb
- [ ] Model/agent switching from header
- [ ] Session rename/delete from panel
- [ ] MCP status panel
- [ ] Multi-workspace profiles
- [ ] `ui.markdown` support when available
- [ ] Attachment support (images, files)
