OpenCode v1.16: Workspace Cloning, 38% Faster Startup, Snowflake Cortex Provider, Session Replay
OpenCode (SST) released v1.16.0 and v1.16.2 on June 5, 2026. v1.16.0 adds managed workspace cloning that preserves dirty and untracked files, cross-workspace session movement, proper OpenAI model support via AWS Bedrock, skill discovery with file-based agent loading, new color themes and thinking-level selector for desktop, and a `run --replay` mode for interactive session replay. Startup time improved by 38%. v1.16.2 fixes reasoning summaries to only run on providers that support them (avoiding GPT-5 failures), refuses loose edit matches to prevent overwriting wrong code, resolves Bedrock session hangs, adds diff viewer hunk navigation, and adds Snowflake Cortex as a new LLM provider.
Why it matters
Workspace cloning and session replay are significant quality-of-life features for multi-workspace developer workflows; Snowflake Cortex support extends enterprise coverage.
