Thanks for the report! I think this is a duplicate of #48361, which describes the same problem: a headless
opencode runexits before its background subagents have finished.Possible duplicates and related issues, ordered by likelihood:
opencode2 runandbackground: truetasks may cause premature exit #48361:opencode2 runwithbackground: truesubagents exits before they finish. Same symptom.runexits before plugin-backgrounded work completes; plugins cannot detect a headless client on the shared service #48683: a one-shotrun(including--standalone) exits before work moved to the background has finished, so that work is dropped from the output. Same lifecycle problem, there triggered by a plugin.The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different.

Yes, might be duplicate, but we don't see any action on the other issues. Once is even closed stale.
This is an actual issue.

I'm closing this as a duplicate of #48361. It reports the same problem: a headless
opencode runexits while background subagents are still running. We haven't heard that your case is different. Please follow #48361 for updates, and #48683 and #57418 for related work. If your problem turns out to be different, reply here with the details and we can reopen it. Thanks for reporting!
