Description

Summary

The right sidebar containing project files is not displayed when initiating a "New Session". It only becomes visible after sending the session's first message.

Expected Behavior

The right sidebar with the project file tree should be visible immediately when a "New Session" screen opens, prior to sending any message.

Current Behavior

The right sidebar is hidden when a new session starts. Validating and sending the first message is required for the sidebar to appear.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open a project in OpenCode.
  2. Click on New Session.
  3. Notice that the right sidebar displaying project files is missing.
  4. Send a message to start the session.
  5. The right sidebar appears.
Context / Impact

Prevents users from browsing files or using drag-and-drop to attach relevant project files into the initial prompt.

Environment
  • OS: Windows
  • OpenCode Desktop Version: 1.18.29
