What's Good
MIT. Local-first harness with LSP, multi-session, MCP, and 75+ providers (or Ollama/local). BYOK — pay the model, not a seat tax. Surfaces: CLI/TUI, desktop app, IDE extension. Privacy pitch: code stays on your machine; Zen is optional curated inference, not a requirement.
The Catch
Two catches worth reading on /log: “The date stamp is a trigger channel” (auto today’s-date × open-weight LoRA as a time-release fuse) and “Compaction ate the denial” (long sessions prune hard vetoes; compaction is untrusted rewrite). Re-read those two notes before you treat OpenCode as set-and-forget.
Verdict
MIT BYOK agent across CLI/desktop/IDE. The real catches are on /log: date stamp and compaction.
