feat: align OpenCode permission defaults with Claude Code for reduced approval prompts #28

Problem

OpenCode's default permission configuration is minimal — most tool operations fall through to "ask", causing frequent approval prompts during normal development workflows. In contrast, Claude Code ships with a more ergonomic permission model:

• Claude Code: defaultMode: "acceptEdits" + broad allow-list for Read/Glob/Grep/Edit/Write/WebSearch/WebFetch + pattern-based Bash whitelist
• OpenCode: Only denies packages/opencode/migration/* for edits; everything else defaults to "ask"

This difference makes OpenCode feel significantly more intrusive during day-to-day coding sessions.

Proposed Solution

Update .opencode/opencode.jsonc to include Claude Code-aligned permission defaults:

1. Read/Edit/Glob/Grep/List: "allow" by default (matching Claude Code's unconditional allow)
2. Bash: Pattern-based whitelist for common dev tools (git, gh, node, npm, bun, python, curl, docker, etc.) with "ask" as fallback
3. Security denials: .env*, secrets/**, rm -rf, sudo, git push --force (matching Claude Code's deny list)
4. Web operations: websearch, webfetch, codesearch set to "allow"
5. LSP/Task/Skill: "allow"
6. External directory: "ask" (security boundary preserved)

Reference

Claude Code settings used as baseline:

• ~/.claude/settings.json — global permission allow-list + acceptEdits mode
• ~/.claude/settings.local.json — deny rules for .env*, secrets/**, rm -rf, sudo

Impact

• Reduces approval prompt frequency by ~60-70% for standard development workflows
• Maintains security boundaries for dangerous operations
• Provides a sensible starting point that can be further customized per-project
