The opencode lane cannot review builder-worktree PRs: it globs the parent dir, gets auto-rejected, and produces no verdict #207

The opencode lane cannot review a PR whose changes live in a builder worktree. It burns its
budget searching for the branch files, hits an auto-rejected directory permission, and produces no
verdict.

Reproduced twice, identically, on PR #205:

Read packages/codev/src/agent-farm/utils/harness.ts <- reads MAIN, not the branch
Glob "**/.git" in . · 0 matches
"The files on disk are main, not the PR branch. I'll locate the builder worktree..."
Read .consult/pr-205.diff [offset=976, limit=800]
permission requested: external_directory (/Users/chris/dev/*); auto-rejecting
Glob "**/bugfix-196*/**" failed in /Users/chris/dev
Error: The user rejected permission to use this specific tool call.

It then ran out of road and the lane failed with:

opencode produced a review with no VERDICT line. A review that states no verdict is not a
verdict — porch would read it as a non-blocking COMMENT and count it as an approval.

That failure is correct and should not change.#20's rule worked exactly as designed: no silent
approval. The defect is upstream of it.

Why it happens

The consult run executes with the workspace root as cwd, and the workspace is on main. The changed
files live at .builders/<id>/…, which is inside the workspace — but the lane searched
/Users/chris/dev (the parent) for **/bugfix-196*/**, and opencode's sandbox auto-rejects
directories outside the workspace. So it looked in the one place it is not allowed, having not been
told the one place it is.

It succeeded on earlier PRs by falling back to .consult/pr-<n>.diff, so the capability exists —
it just is not reliably reached, and on a large diff the fallback is truncated, which is what sends
it hunting for the real files in the first place.

Why this matters more than it did yesterday

opencode is the designated substitute lane — the one reviewer on an account none of the others
share, reached for when a default lane is quota-exhausted. On 2026-08-29 that was not hypothetical:
codex was quota-exhausted account-wide until ~15:40 and agy was rate-limited, so opencode was the
only second opinion available on two HIGH-tier PRs. It failed on both attempts for #205's re-review,
leaving one lane on a 24-file change.

A substitute that cannot review the thing it is substituting for is not a substitute.

Ask

Tell the lane where the branch files are. The consult run already knows the PR's head branch
and can resolve the builder worktree path. Pass it in the prompt, or set cwd to the worktree when
one exists.
Or make the diff sufficient. The lane reaches for real files because the diff is truncated on
large PRs. If the diff were complete (or the lane told explicitly that it is truncated and by how
much), the hunt would not start.
Whatever the fix, the lane's failure mode should stay loud. It is the one part of this that
worked.
