"~" in --cwd argument causes ENOENT error on startup

[T-hash06]

When using the opencode CLI, it fails during startup with an ENOENT error related to the --cwd argument passed to bun. The path provided is ~/.cache/opencode, and the directory does exist on the file system.

However, the command fails to run because the directory is apparently not found.

Expected Behavior

opencode should correctly resolve and use the working directory if it exists.

Actual Behavior

The CLI fails with an error like:

error: failed to change directory to "~/.cache/opencode": ENOENT

Even though the directory exists at that location when checked manually.

Environment

• OS: Arch Linux 6.15.9-arch1-1
• opencode version: 0.4.16
• bun version: 1.2.20

@T-hash06 are you still encountering this on latest?

[T-hash06]

@rekram1-node After testing today on several friends' laptops, Windows, Linux, and Mac. It seems the issue was related to my own system (no idea what exactly, I checked everything lol). But after doing a hard reset on my laptop, everything started working fine again
