fs: /cd and file pickers fail on FreeBSD/ZFS — stat throws "dev exceeds the safe integer range" (fixed in @effect/platform-node-shared 4.0.5) #57518
Description
Description
Summary
OpenCode's Node filesystem layer comes from @effect/platform-node-shared, whose stat calls fs.stat(path, { bigint: true }) and then converts the BigInt dev field to a Number, throwing a RangeError when the value is outside the safe-integer range. FreeBSD reports 64-bit st_dev values for ZFS datasets (e.g. 8599779474788709465), so stat fails for essentially every path on the host. The visible result is that GET /api/fs/list, /api/fs/find, and /api/fs/read return HTTP 500, POST /api/session/{id}/move answers "Directory does not exist" for directories that do exist, and the TUI /cd command is unusable.
Effect already fixed this upstream in @effect/platform-node-shared 4.0.5 (Effect-TS/effect#9112), which keeps dev as a BigInt. OpenCode still pins 4.0.1 in its workspace catalog, in v2.0.32, in v2.1.1, and on dev.
Environment
- opencode version: 2.0.32 (channel: latest)
- OS: FreeBSD 15.1-RELEASE (freebsd x64), ZFS 2.4.2-1-FreeBSD_g6330a45b0 (root dataset
zroot/ROOT/15.1-RELEASE/usr/homeonzroot/usr/home`) - Bun (embedded in the opencode binary): v1.4.2 (744846f84) FreeBSD x64
- Terminal: TERM=xterm-256color, TERM_PROGRAM=tmux, COLORTERM=truecolor
- Shell: /usr/local/bin/bash
- Install/channel: release (
latest) - Active plugins: none found (
opencode plugin list→ "No plugins found"); noopencode.json/opencode.jsonc/cli.jsonpresent - Pinned dependency:
"@effect/platform-node": "4.0.1","@effect/platform-node-shared": "4.0.1","effect": "4.0.1"(workspace catalog inpackage.json)
Reproduction
- Run OpenCode on a FreeBSD host whose working directory is on a ZFS dataset.
- In the TUI, type
/cdand keep typing a path. - Observe:
Could not search directories. Keep typing to try again.The dropdown stays empty, and Enter is swallowed by the autocomplete handler, so the command cannot be submitted. - The same failure occurs server-side when the move is issued directly:
$ opencode api post /api/session/<id>/move --data '{"directory":"/usr/home/asomers/src/github"}'
{"_tag":"InvalidRequestError","message":"Directory does not exist: /usr/home/asomers/src/github"}- The directory listing endpoints fail with HTTP 500:
$ opencode api get "/api/fs/list?path=/usr/home/asomers&location.directory=/usr/home/asomers"
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
$ opencode api get "/api/fs/find?query=src&limit=5&location.directory=/usr/home/asomers"
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
$ opencode api get "/api/fs/read//usr/home/asomers/.profile"
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error/usr/home/asomers/src/github exists (drwxr-xr-x 28 asomers asomers 29 Aug 7 14:40), so the "Directory does not exist" response is a false negative.
Expected Behavior
GET /api/fs/listreturns the children of the requested directory.POST /api/session/{id}/movemoves the session to the requested directory.- In the TUI,
/cd <path>lists matching directories and changes the session's working directory.
Actual Behavior
The filesystem layer throws before producing a result:
PlatformError: FileSystem.stat: dev exceeds the safe integer range: 8599779474788709465
at Ec (/$bunfs/root/chunk-6xc3bwx4.js:2:980)
at <anonymous> (/$bunfs/root/chunk-79zk6hn4.js:18:6249)
at FileSystem.list (/$bunfs/root/chunk-26fat8ct.js:449:16850)
at ServerProcess.start (/$bunfs/root/chunk-sz35r0mr.js:2:7534)
Root Cause
The throwing code is not in the OpenCode repository and not in the Bun runtime. It comes from @effect/platform-node-shared, in packages/platform/node-shared/src/NodeFileSystem.ts of https://github.com/Effect-TS/effect (tag effect@4.0.1):
// packages/platform/node-shared/src/NodeFileSystem.ts:37
const bigintToNumber = (value: bigint, field: string): number => {
const number = Number(value)
if (!Number.isSafeInteger(number)) {
throw new RangeError(`${field} exceeds the safe integer range: ${value}`)
}
return number
}// packages/platform/node-shared/src/NodeFileSystem.ts:533
dev: bigintToNumber(stat.dev, "dev"),
rdev: bigintToNumberOption(stat.rdev),
ino: bigintToNumberOption(stat.ino),
mode: bigintToNumber(stat.mode, "mode"),stat requests { bigint: true } and maps the fields back. dev and mode go through the strict bigintToNumber, which throws; the other fields use bigintToNumberOption, which returns undefined instead of throwing. dev is the field that breaks on FreeBSD/ZFS.
Relevant st_dev values on the affected host:
| Path | Filesystem | st_dev |
|---|---|---|
/usr/home |
zroot/usr/home | 8599779474788709465 (throws) |
/usr/local |
zroot/usr/local | 17163752400735175193 (throws) |
/tmp |
zroot/var/tmp | 10799770302823152918 (throws) |
/dev |
devfs | 1895890688 (works) |
/dev succeeds, which is consistent with the diagnosis: only filesystems whose device ID exceeds 2^53−1 are affected.
Already fixed upstream in Effect
Effect PR Effect-TS/effect#9112 changed the mapping in @effect/platform-node-shared 4.0.5:
dev: toUint64(stat.dev),
rdev: toUint64Option(stat.rdev),Verified against the standalone packages (effect@4.0.5, @effect/platform-node@4.0.5) on the same host:
import { NodeFileSystem } from "@effect/platform-node"
import { Effect } from "effect"
import { FileSystem } from "effect/FileSystem"
const program = Effect.gen(function* () {
const fs = yield* FileSystem
console.log(yield* fs.stat("/usr/home/asomers"))
})
Effect.runPromise(program.pipe(Effect.provide(NodeFileSystem.layer)))stat OK: { type: "Directory", ..., dev: 8599779474788709465n, ... }stat succeeds and dev is returned as an exact BigInt. The same script against @effect/platform-node-shared@4.0.1 throws RangeError: dev exceeds the safe integer range: 8599779474788709465.
Versions are affected as follows:
@effect/platform-node-shared |
dev mapping |
|---|---|
| 4.0.0 – 4.0.4 | bigintToNumber(stat.dev, "dev") (throws) |
| 4.0.5 | toUint64(stat.dev) (fixed) |
Additional Context
- Impact surface on the affected host:
- TUI
/cddirectory autocomplete: broken ("Could not search directories. Keep typing to try again.") - TUI
@file autocomplete: broken ("Could not search files. Keep typing to try again.") POST /api/session/{id}/move: broken with a misleading "Directory does not exist" errorGET /api/fs/readon an existing file: HTTP 500- Session creation in a ZFS directory still works (
POST /api/sessionwithlocation.directory), soopencode <dir>is unaffected - The agent's
read/grep/glob/shelltools still work; they do not use the affected endpoints
- TUI
- Suggested change: bump the workspace catalog to
@effect/platform-node/@effect/platform-node-shared/effect4.0.5or later, which picks up the upstream Effect fix. A dependency bump is sufficient; no OpenCode code change is needed. - Reproduces consistently on every request; it is not intermittent.
- Workaround used on this host: start OpenCode in the target directory (
opencode ~/src) or create a session there via the API (POST /api/sessionwithlocation.directory) instead of using/cd.

Thanks for the detailed report and for tracking down the upstream cause. I can reproduce this.
Our sandbox runs Linux, which can't produce a device ID that large, so I used a preload to make every bigint
statreturn your/usr/homevalue (st_dev = 8599779474788709465). Then I ranopencode servefrom source:GET /api/fs/listandGET /api/fs/read/...return HTTP 200.FileSystem.stat: dev exceeds the safe integer range: 8599779474788709465fromFileSystem.list/FileSystem.read. This matches your trace.I got the same result at
v2.0.32and on the latestdev(a13c48b). Both still pineffect/@effect/platform-node(-shared)at 4.0.1. I didn't test the TUI/cdflow itself, since the preload can't go into the release binary, but it calls the same endpoints. The script below reproduces it. Thanks also for posting the workaround of starting OpenCode in the target directory.Reproduction script (repro.sh)

I'd like to work on this.
I confirmed the fix is present in the published artifact, not just in the linked Effect PR: in the
@effect/platform-node-shared@4.0.5tarball,makeFileInfonow readsdev: toUint64(stat.dev)andrdev: toUint64Option(stat.rdev), where4.0.1haddev: bigintToNumber(stat.dev, "dev"). TheRangeErrorfrom the 64-bit ZFSst_devtherefore cannot fire any more. The remainingbigintToNumbercalls in that file are onmodeand fileposition, both narrow enough to stay within the safe-integer range.The plan is the coordinated bump rather than a single-package one: move
effect,@effect/opentelemetry,@effect/platform-node,@effect/platform-node-sharedand@effect/sql-sqlite-bunin the workspace catalog from4.0.1to4.0.5together, then resolve anything theFileInfo.devtype change surfaces (it goes fromnumberto a 64-bit value, so any consumer that assumed a number needs a look), and run the filesystem, tool and permission suites.If you would rather carry this bump in a release-wide dependency update of your own instead of a PR from a contributor, say so and I will drop it.

I implemented the bump I proposed above, and it needs one decision from you before it can be a PR. Summary first: the ZFS fix is real and the bump is the right shape, but
effect4.0.5 also changes a client type in a way that breaks the generator's own fixture, and fixing that properly is a second change I do not want to smuggle into a dependency bump.The bump has to move the whole family, not one package.
@effect/platform-node-shared@4.0.5declarespeerDependencies: { "effect": "^4.0.5" }(read from the published tarball'spackage.json), so it cannot be paired witheffect4.0.1. All five entries move together:effect,@effect/opentelemetry,@effect/platform-node,@effect/platform-node-shared,@effect/sql-sqlite-bun,4.0.1→4.0.5. That is five lines in the root catalog plusbun.lock.Baseline, so the failures below are attributable. In a fresh clone at
dev(15adc3d91e),bun turbo typecheck --continue:@opencode/postsand@opencode/wwwalready fail, onCannot find module 'astro:content'— astro's virtual modules are not synced in a clean checkout, so those are environmental and unrelated. Everything else, including@opencode/httpapi-codegen, passes.At 4.0.5, exactly one additional package fails:
@opencode/httpapi-codegen, and it raised two errors. The first is already fixed on my branch; the second is what needs your call.test/write.test.ts:140builds aFileSystem.Infofixture withdev: 0, andFileInfo.devis now a 64-bit value, so it must bedev: 0n. Trivial, and a direct consequence of the fix this issue is about — it belongs in the bump, and I have made that change.test/generated-consumer.ts:27— the_configureassertion, the one remaining error at 4.0.5. Onlysession.configure, the one endpoint called with a payload, widens; every other endpoint in that fixture keeps its precise type. It now infersEffect<string | HttpClientResponse | [string, HttpClientResponse], ClientError>instead ofEffect<string, ClientError>.The cause is in
HttpApiClient'sMethodtype. 4.0.1 hasand 4.0.5 has
<Mode extends ResponseMode = "decoded-only">with the brackets dropped inResponse, so the conditional became distributive. When the mode is inferred as the whole union — which is what happens for a request carrying a payload in the generator's plain-call emission — all three branches survive and the return type is the union.The client users actually import is not affected: codegen wraps those calls in
preserveEffect<Output>(), which pins the contract, and@opencode/clienttypechecks clean at 4.0.5. The widening only shows in the fixture, which emits the unwrapped call, and that fixture exists precisely to catch a widened generated output — so it is doing its job.What I have not done, and why I am asking. The honest fix is in the generator: emit the response mode explicitly at the raw call site (
packages/httpapi-codegen/src/index.ts:687, and the same emission at:1823), so generated wrappers keep a precise type instead of depending on an inference default that upstream just changed. That regenerates the committed generated client, so it is a real change with a large mechanical diff, not a one-line adaptation — and I did not want to fold it into a dependency bump without your word.How would you like to proceed?
devfixture, and pin the response mode in the codegen emitter with the regenerated output.devfixture only, and you take the codegen fixture however you prefer.Responseconditional.I have not opened a PR for this yet, because the tree is red at 4.0.5 and I will not submit a red one. The branch and the measured diff are sitting locally and are ready to go the moment you pick a direction.
