Plugin does not auto-update in OpenCode (locked to old commit via bun.lock) #942
Description
- I searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate
Environment
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Superpowers version | 5.0.4 (resolved commit) |
| Harness (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) | OpenCode |
| Harness version | 1.3.3 |
| Model | GPT-5.3-Codex |
| OS + shell | macOS + zsh |
Is this a Superpowers issue or a platform issue?
- I confirmed this issue does not occur without Superpowers installed
What happened?
I'm experiencing an issue with the plugin when using it through OpenCode. According to the documentation, the plugin should update automatically when tracking the repository, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
When using Superpowers through OpenCode, the plugin does not update automatically even though it is configured to track the main branch of the repository.
After investigating, it appears that Bun (used by OpenCode) resolves the git dependency to a specific commit and pins it in its lockfile. As a result, the plugin remains stuck on an older version.
In my case, the lockfile contains:
# ~/.cache/opencode/bun.lock
superpowers@github:obra/superpowers#7e51643
That commit corresponds to version 5.0.4, while the current main branch is already at 5.0.6.
Steps to reproduce
- Install Superpowers in OpenCode using the git repository (
git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git) - Let OpenCode resolve and install dependencies
- Check the resolved version in
~/.cache/opencode/bun.lock - New commits are pushed to the
mainbranch - Observe that the plugin does not update automatically
Expected behavior
The plugin should follow the main branch and update automatically when new commits are available, as stated in the documentation.
Actual behavior
The plugin is locked to the initially resolved commit and does not update unless the cache or lockfile is manually cleared.
