Workaround for "UnknownError: No such file or directory" on Windows when open a git-enabled directories

[Darkstarrd-dev]

Description

a persistent UnknownError when opening Git-enabled directories in the Windows desktop app.

The error persists through restarts, previously forcing users to perform a full reinstall or revert to the CLI.

The issue can be resolved by manually editing the configuration file:

Path: ~\AppData\Roaming\ai.opencode.desktop\default.dat

Steps:

• Locate the "projects": {"local": [...]} section in the file.
• The entries are sorted in reverse order; the first entry is typically the directory that triggered the error.
• Remove the problematic entry from the list and save the file.

Example:

• record:
  "server.v3": "{"list":[],"projects":{"local":[{"worktree":"Z:\\OpenCodePlayGround","expanded":true},{"worktree":"Z:\\Playground\\react","expanded":true},{"worktree":"Z:\\Playground","expanded":true}]}}",
• remove the first record
• screenshot:

This will allow the app to launch successfully without losing entire project history.
