Description
Description
apply_patch accepts shell heredoc wrappers only when the delimiter is \w+. A valid wrapper like cat <<'PATCH-1' is parsed as NotApplyPatch, so the patch never reaches apply_patch.
This is a real user-facing failure because shell heredoc delimiters commonly contain - or other non-word characters.
Expected Behavior
A patch wrapped in a valid heredoc delimiter should be extracted and parsed the same way as <<'EOF'.
Current Behavior
The parser only matches apply_patch\s*<<['\"](\w+)['\"], so PATCH-1 is rejected.
Minimal Repro
import { maybeParseApplyPatch } from "./src/patch/index.ts"
const script = String.raw`apply_patch <<'PATCH-1'
*** Begin Patch
*** Add File: x.txt
+ok
*** End Patch
PATCH-1`
console.log(maybeParseApplyPatch(["bash", "-lc", script]).type)
// NotApplyPatch
Root Cause
The heredoc regex in packages/opencode/src/patch/index.ts only allows \w+ delimiters. The core parser uses the same restriction in packages/core/src/patch.ts.
Suggested Fix
Relax the heredoc delimiter pattern to accept non-whitespace delimiter tokens, and add a regression test for a delimiter like PATCH-1.
