v1.0.3

Chat Sidebar for OpenCode 1.0.3

Patch release now live on the Visual Studio Marketplace as v1.0.3 — metadata-only update; no functional changes from 1.0.2.

What's changed

• Marketplace listing overhaul — the extension description now leads with the
  OpenCode keyword, the tag set is expanded (opencode, oh-my-opencode,
  ai-coding, chat-sidebar, vscode-extension, …), and the Marketplace page
  header now uses the project banner color for a consistent brand look.
• GitHub discoverability — repository topics, description, homepage link,
  and a refreshed social preview banner.

Install / upgrade

• Extension auto-updates work as usual — or search "Chat Sidebar for OpenCode" in the Extensions view and click Update.
• Or grab chat-sidebar-for-opencode-1.0.3.vsix below and run code --install-extension chat-sidebar-for-opencode-1.0.3.vsix.

Previous releases

• 1.0.2 fixed the chat list bottom anchoring so newly submitted messages
  scroll correctly, and replaced the retired shields.io Marketplace badge.
• 1.0.1 renamed the project and extension identity to Chat Sidebar for
  OpenCode (chat-sidebar-for-opencode) — formerly OpenCode Panel
  (opencode-panel).

v1.0.2

Chat Sidebar for OpenCode 1.0.2

Patch release now live on the Visual Studio Marketplace as v1.0.2 — recommended update for all 1.0.x installs.

What's fixed

• Chat list now mounts pinned to the latest message — the message list's bottom anchoring was adjusted so new conversations and stream refreshes consistently land at the newest message instead of leaving the view drifted upward.
• README badges fixed — replaced the shields.io Marketplace badge that was globally retired (it rendered "retired badge" for every extension) with a working badge linking to the Marketplace page.

Install / upgrade

• Extension auto-updates work as usual — or search "Chat Sidebar for OpenCode" in the Extensions view and click Update.
• Or grab chat-sidebar-for-opencode-1.0.2.vsix below and run code --install-extension chat-sidebar-for-opencode-1.0.2.vsix.

Previous release (1.0.1)

1.0.1 renamed the project and extension identity to Chat Sidebar for OpenCode (chat-sidebar-for-opencode) — formerly OpenCode Panel (opencode-panel). Same codebase: no functional changes beyond the rename.

v1.0.1

Chat Sidebar for OpenCode 1.0.1

Chat Sidebar for OpenCode is a VS Code sidebar chat extension that drives your locally installed opencode through its official headless server and SDK — a Codex/Cursor-grade GUI chat panel without leaving your editor.

一個掛在 VS Code 側邊欄的聊天面板，透過官方 headless 伺服器驅動你本機安裝的 opencode——不離開編輯器，就有 Codex/Cursor 等級的聊天體驗。

Highlights

• Chat-first sidebar — multi-session chat with a slide-in session drawer, plus a native stacked Sessions view
• Streaming chat — markdown + syntax highlighting, collapsible reasoning ("Thinking") parts, and generic tool-call cards that render any tool name
• Composer — Enter to send, per-session drafts, stop/abort, text + image + @-mention attachments, warn-before-send on sensitive paths
• Slash commands & pickers — builtin and custom commands, per-session agent and model pickers
• Inline approvals — permission and question cards right in the conversation; nothing is auto-answered
• Todos & diffs dock — todo list and per-message diffs in VS Code's native diff editor
• Message ops — revert/unrevert, regenerate, summarize/compact, shell command, export transcripts
• Token usage strip, status-bar server controls, editor Attach selection / Attach file, and an Open opencode TUI escape hatch
• MCP panel and capability detection that adapts the UI to older opencode servers — works with and without oh-my-opencode
• Bilingual UI (English / 繁體中文) following VS Code's display language, with an in-app override that hot-swaps every open panel

Requirements

• opencode installed and on your PATH (or set opencodeChatSidebar.binaryPath)
• At least one LLM provider configured in opencode (auth lives in opencode; the extension never sees your API keys)
• VS Code 1.99.0 or newer

Install

• From the Visual Studio Marketplace
• Or grab chat-sidebar-for-opencode-1.0.1.vsix below and run code --install-extension chat-sidebar-for-opencode-1.0.1.vsix

Notes

This project was formerly named OpenCode Panel (opencode-panel). Same codebase, new identity — repository links redirect automatically. No functional changes in this release.
