OpenCode 2.2.1 adds /goal <objective> in the terminal and Desktop. A session can continue through progress reviews, with pause, resume and clear controls. This is a workflow mechanism, not a guarantee that an objective will be completed correctly.
Opt-in background work
Scheduled prompts are available through /schedule and experimental configuration. Image creation and editing use the opt-in experimental.image_generate tool, with automatic or configured model selection. Provider availability and billing remain separate from enabling the tool.
Desktop adds live output and a Stop action for background shells. Its redesigned model picker becomes the default, with favorites, recent models and provider search.
Direct-library users need a migration check
The release removes several provider entry points and renames configuration types in @opencode/ai. The notes explicitly distinguish these changes from the CLI, Desktop and HTTP API. Applications importing that library should review the listed replacements rather than assuming a patch-number upgrade is interface-compatible.
