OpenCode v1.18.11 (Aug 1, 2026) stops MCP SSE connections from getting stuck in reconnect loops after server error responses, fixes provider configs using interleaved reasoning fields like reasoning_text, and improves desktop app stability (external links open in system browser, fixed stale session tab state, prevented file tree tab clipping).
Why it matters
