Evolve to opencode-pilot: MCP automation for OpenCode

[athal7]

Overview

Rename and evolve opencode-ntfy into opencode-pilot — a comprehensive automation layer for OpenCode.

Status

✅ Rename complete (Jan 4, 2026)

• Repo renamed to opencode-pilot
• Version reset to v0.1.0
• Homebrew formula updated
• All local configs updated

🔄 Polling migration still TODO

Why the Change?

After domain analysis with the ocdc project, we identified that:

1. Automation and containers are separate domains
2. Not all sessions need containers — e.g., Apple Reminders → local OpenCode session
3. opencode-ntfy already has notifications, mobile UI, remote control — the session management pieces
4. ocdc has polling, source fetching, self-iteration — the automation pieces

The logical split:

• opencode-pilot: Automation (polling + sessions + notifications)
• opencode-devcontainers: Container isolation only

Features to Keep (from opencode-ntfy)

• Webhook notifications (ntfy, Home Assistant, Slack)
• Mobile UI
• Permission handling
• Callback server / remote control
• Session proxy

Features to Add (from ocdc)

• Polling loop (lib/ocdc-poll)
• Source fetching via MCP (lib/ocdc-mcp-fetch.js)
• Repo configuration (repos.yaml)
• Self-iteration / readiness evaluation (lib/ocdc-self-iteration.bash)
• WIP limits

Features to Build New

• Pluggable action system:
  • type: local — Start OpenCode directly
  • type: container — Call opencode-devcontainers
• Workflow configuration format
• CLI: opencode-pilot start/stop/status/workflows

Migration Steps

1. Create feature branch for pilot evolution
2. Copy polling code from ocdc
3. Adapt polling to use action system
4. Add local session support
5. Add container session support (calls opencode-devcontainers)
6. Update configuration schema
7. Rename package/repo to opencode-pilot
8. Reset version to v0.1.0
