OpenCode 2.2.3 through 2.2.5 are grouped as one update. The releases add a built-in Claude Agent provider that uses an installed, signed-in Claude Code client. The later setup flow guides installation and checks the connection; selecting it does not grant a Claude subscription or additional model allowance.
Keep terminals and publish artifacts
Desktop terminals become persistent session terminals shared with the TUI and other windows. Their names and scrollback survive server restarts.
Experimental artifacts let an agent create, read, update and delete HTML or static output through a built-in local provider or plugin-backed storage. This is opt-in via experimental.artifacts; it should not be confused with automatic public hosting. Experimental schedules also run under opencode serve, with coordination intended to prevent multiple servers firing the same schedule.
Check policy and plugin migrations
Version 2.2.3 separates MCP, skill and plugin permissions from integration permissions. Prefixed older rules are converted, but a bare integration.use rule no longer covers those other resources. TUI plugins require OpenTUI 0.8 or later and may need interface changes.
Version 2.2.5 adds a percentage value for compaction.buffer, allowing the reserved space to scale with model context windows. It also addresses large MCP messages and LiteLLM context-window errors. These changes are documented in the release notes; no long-session performance measurement was made for this summary.
