[BUG]: OpenCode Desktop consumes lots of CPU cycles on Mac M4 & freezes completely while trying new WorkSpace feature

[deadcoder0904]

Description

I am trying to use the new workspace feature to create git worktrees.

Plugins

OpenCode version

Version 1.1.34 (1.1.34)

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a new project folder (without git) and open it in OpenCode Desktop.
2. Open that same project folder in your terminal and run git init.
3. Close OpenCode Desktop completely, then try to reopen the project (since it doesn't support hot reload yet... see [FEATURE]: Hot-reload agents, skills and commands. #8751).
4. It fails to open. If you try to create a new workspace from inside OpenCode while it's still running, you get this error: Failed to create workspace. Worktrees are only supported for git projects
5. The only fixes are: either delete the .git folder using rm -rf .git and reopen the project, or make sure the project already had a git repository before opening it (like your older projects do).

This is how my Activity Monitor looks like:

Why is the Tauri taking as much CPU cycles as Electron? I'm no performance nerd, but that looks bad I think.

And my OpenCode Desktop has hung up / freezed which causes the CPU cycles to spike up:

I can't click any buttons and the loading placeholder just looks the same.

Operating System

macOS Sequoia 15.6.1

Terminal

Will look into this @deadcoder0904

+1. Noticing degraded performance on my machine (m4 pro macbook pro) where the app is running at < that 60 fps and mac is reporting it as consuming significant energy.

Had similar issues

Noticing similar issues here on my MacBook Air M3 which is also overheating and throttling rapidly when actively using OpenCode. CPU and energy / resource usage of the tauri process and opencode process is very high for me as well. I'm on the latest version of the OpenCode Desktop App.
