This debug message states “Zen provider disabled”, but the OpenCode config being copied disables the provider named opencode. To avoid confusing users (and future maintainers), update the message to match the actual provider identifier being disabled in the JSON, or adjust the JSON to disable the intended provider.

The deny patterns docker stop $(docker ps *) and docker rm $(docker ps *) don’t correspond to valid/common Docker invocations (e.g., docker ps doesn’t take *). As written, these rules are unlikely to match the real “stop/remove all containers” commands you’re trying to guard. Consider replacing them with patterns that match common forms like docker stop $(docker ps -q ...) / docker rm $(docker ps -aq ...) (and/or docker stop $(docker ps -q) / docker rm $(docker ps -aq)).

@claude are you sure that this is a working syntax ?
Reading the doc here: https://opencode.ai/docs/permissions/ i see a different structure, i think that it's quite smart the usage of regexp too, that we are totally missing here.

OpenCode Permissions Syntax: You're Right, It Needs Regex

  • Read current config/macos/opencode.json in the PR
  • Research OpenCode permissions documentation
  • Compare syntax and determine if current config is valid
  • Rewrite patterns using proper regex syntax and push fix

Findings

Good catch, @paolomainardi! You're absolutely right — the previous patterns were using glob-style syntax (sudo *, curl * | sh) but OpenCode's permissions system interprets these as regular expressions. This meant many patterns were either broken or dangerously wrong:

Problem Example What Happened
* is a regex quantifier, not a wildcard sudo * Matched sudo + zero or more spaces, NOT sudo rm -rf /
| is alternation in regex curl * | sh Matched anything containing "sh" anywhere (way too broad!)
$() are regex metacharacters docker stop $(docker ps *) Completely broken as regex

What I Fixed (commit 02b7042)

Rewrote all 129 glob patterns into 97 proper regex patterns with the same coverage:

// Before (broken glob):
"sudo *"
"curl * | sh"
"docker stop $(docker ps *)"

// After (working regex):
"^sudo\\b"
"curl\\s+.*\\|\\s*(sh|bash)"
"docker\\s+stop\\s+\\$\\("

Key regex improvements:

  • \b word boundaries for precise matching
  • \s+ for flexible whitespace matching
  • Escaped metacharacters ($, (, ), |, ., *)
  • ^ anchors where commands must start at beginning
  • Alternation groups to consolidate related patterns (e.g., helm\s+(install|upgrade|uninstall|delete|rollback)\b)

Also fixed the misleading "Zen provider" wording in Ansible task names (Copilot review comment).

⚠️ Important Caveat

I was unable to directly fetch the live documentation at https://opencode.ai/docs/permissions/ from this CI environment. The regex rewrite is based on my knowledge of OpenCode's codebase. Please verify against the live docs to confirm the exact schema and pattern matching behavior before merging.

OpenCode Permissions: Complete Rewrite Using Official Docs

  • Fetch OpenCode permissions documentation
  • Read current config/macos/opencode.json in the PR
  • Compare syntax against official docs and identify issues
  • Rewrite config with correct syntax and push changes

Findings from Official OpenCode Docs

The previous config (both the initial glob version AND my regex rewrite) had three critical issues:

Issue What We Had What OpenCode Expects
Wrong key name "permissions" (plural) "permission" (singular)
Wrong structure { "deny": { "bash": ["pattern", ...] } } { "bash": { "pattern": "action" } }
Wrong pattern syntax Regex (\\s+, \\b, ^) Glob wildcards (* = any chars)

How OpenCode Permissions Actually Work

Per the docs:

{
  "permission": {
    "bash": {
      "*": "ask",           // catch-all: prompt for unknown commands
      "git *": "allow",     // allow all git commands
      "rm *": "deny"        // deny all rm commands
    }
  }
}

Key rules:

  • Patterns use simple glob wildcards (* = zero or more chars), NOT regex
  • Last matching rule wins (order matters!)
  • Three actions: "allow", "ask" (prompt user), "deny" (block entirely)

What Changed (commit 590c8a2)

Completely rewrote the config to match the official schema:

{
  "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
  "disabled_providers": ["opencode"],
  "permission": {
    "bash": {
      "*": "allow",
      "rm -rf /*": "deny",
      "sudo *": "ask",
      "terraform destroy*": "deny",
      "kubectl delete*": "ask",
      ...
    }
  }
}

Design decisions on deny vs ask:

  • "deny" (hard block) for truly destructive/irreversible commands: rm -rf /, terraform destroy, shutdown, dd, cloud resource deletion, etc.
  • "ask" (prompt user) for commands that are potentially dangerous but often legitimate: kubectl apply, docker prune, sudo, ssh, etc.
  • "allow" as the base default ("*": "allow") since most commands are safe

@claude can you add some other heuristics on gcloud commands or just get in deep in this topic to understand what can be too risky ?

Deep Dive: Dangerous gcloud Commands & Cloud CLI Heuristics

  • Read current config/macos/opencode.json from the PR branch
  • Research dangerous gcloud CLI commands (destructive, irreversible, costly)
  • Research other cloud CLI tools (aws, az) for additional dangerous patterns
  • Update config with comprehensive gcloud and cloud CLI deny/ask rules
  • Commit and push changes

Building the comprehensive config now...

Design Philosophy

Action When used Examples
deny Irreversible, catastrophic operations where there's almost never a valid reason to run from an AI assistant Project/org deletion, KMS key destruction, rm -rf /, terraform destroy, force-delete with data loss
ask Potentially dangerous but often legitimate operations that need human confirmation Instance/resource deletion, IAM changes, service account ops, DNS changes
allow Safe, read-only, or standard development operations (the default "*": "allow") ls, git status, docker ps, gcloud compute instances list
