it's crazy how complicated settings are. where to save settings (local db / file / server?), how to overwrite settings (managed/user/project?). what things should be settings and which shouldn't. settings are hard!!
@thdxr any advice?!
yes this shit is impossible esp when you have project local settings and global settings then multiple instances of apps that can touch the same file at the same time we support 1. XDG path -> ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json 2. cwd -> ~/myproject/opencode.json 3. dir -> ~/myproject/.opencode/opencode.json 4. ^ search upwards from cwd to find all parent ones and now if we want to allow UI in app to update your config...which one do we touch? we opt to just not do this most things actually go in the local sqlite database. but this means it's not user editable and for tui in v2 we only accept it in XDG/tui.json so the tui can write changes there from in app this is like 25% of it i can keep talking
@thdxr ahah wow glad to hear we're not alone
