Spent two hours today debugging OpenCode because tool calls were using relative paths and nothing was finding the external directories. Turns out external directories just needed to start with * in the config. Two hours of staring at docs and paths, wondering if I’d misunderstood something fundamental.
Anyway. * prefix. Remember that one.
