Plannotator stops during execution, Exa search instability, and not auto-selected

Description

Bug Report: Plannotator stops during execution, Exa search instability, and not auto-selected

Environment

• OS: macOS
• OpenCode: 1.1.1
• Plugin: @plannotator/opencode@latest
• Config: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

Plugin installs correctly and is present in:

~/.cache/opencode/node_modules/@plannotator

---

Expected behavior

• Plannotator is automatically selected as the planner when installed.
• After approving a plan, execution runs reliably to completion.
• Search-related failures (Exa) are handled cleanly.

---

Actual behavior

1. Manual Plannotator selection required

   • Even with Plannotator installed, OpenCode does not default to it.
   • I must explicitly tell OpenCode to use Plannotator, otherwise a different/default planner is used.

2. Execution stops unpredictably

   • After approving the plan, execution starts normally.

   • When Exa search is invoked, execution may:

     • randomly stop,
     • appear to crash but then continue,
     • or enter an unstable partial state.

   • No clear fatal error is shown.

---

Notes

• This is not an installation or config issue.
• The problem appears tied to Exa search usage + planner runtime handling.
• Failures are not surfaced or handled deterministically.

---

Summary

Plannotator installs and loads correctly, but:

• is not auto-selected,
• requires manual instruction to use,
• and becomes unstable when Exa search runs, often stopping after plan approval.

Plugins

plannotator

OpenCode version

1.1.1

Steps to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install OpenCode and verify:

   opencode --version

   Output: 1.1.1

2. Create global config:

   ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
   

   {
     "plugin": ["@plannotator/opencode@latest"],
     "$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json"
   }

3. Clear cache:

   rm -rf ~/.cache/opencode

4. Start OpenCode:

   opencode

5. Trigger a planning task that uses search.

6. Observe:

   • Plannotator is not automatically chosen.
   • Manually instruct OpenCode to use Plannotator.

7. Approve the plan.

8. When Exa search runs, observe that execution:

   • stops unexpectedly,
   • or crashes but continues in a partial/unstable state,
   • without a clear error.

---

Expected result

• Plannotator is auto-selected.
• Execution completes or fails cleanly with a clear error, even when Exa search is used.

also plannotator dev mentioned that opencode could fix this by enabling auto switching for the planning method. is there also a way to disable exa search as that is also breaking it.
