"session not found" after WSL crash

[j4w8n]

Description

I'm not sure if opencode somehow crashed the WSL instance, or WSL decided to crash for some other reason, but it was not responding.

I've had this happen before, but it's usually fine - I restart the computer, fire up a WSL terminal, cd to the directory and run opencode --continue. This time, it loads the TUI and gives me the "Session not found" error.

Maybe this is just a WSL issue, idk, but thought I'd share just in case. I was only running OpenCode; it was doing some file edit work at the time.

I can see in the ~/.local/share/opencode/storage/session_diff directory that the json file is there, but when running some commands, it seems as though the data was likely overwritten with null bytes.

I have no idea. Figured opencode would pick it up if they felt it needed looked at. Thanks for asking though.
