Message

Use OpenAI for policy evaluation

Use OpenAI as the sole policy-evaluation backend on main, capturing credentials from OpenCode or the environment. Rename model-specific files and symbols to provider-neutral LLM terminology.

  34 ## Adding/Modifying Patterns
  35 
  36-- `HARD_ALLOW_PATTERNS` — Anchored (`^...$`), strict regexes. Matched with `.test()`. Only for commands that are obviously safe with no ambiguity. Paths must be relative (no `/` prefix, no `..`).
  37-- `CONFIG_ALLOW_PATTERNS` — Prefix patterns, broader. Still guarded by `SHELL_CONTROL_RE` (commands with `;`, `&&`, `|`, `>`, etc. outside quotes skip these).

  67 ## How it works
  68 
  69 ### Permission evaluation
  70 
  71-When OpenCode asks for permission (e.g., to run a bash command), the plugin intercepts the `permission.asked` event and runs the three-stage pipeline.
  72+When OpenCode asks for permission (for example, to run a bash command), the plugin intercepts `permission.asked` and `permission.updated` events and runs the three-stage pipeline.
  73 
  74 **Stage 1 — Deterministic rules** check the command against:
  75 
  76-- `HARD_ALLOW_PATTERNS`: strict anchored regexes for common safe commands (git status, ls, cat with relative paths, version checks, etc.)
  77-- `CONFIG_ALLOW_PATTERNS`: broader prefix patterns for dev tooling (go test, make, bun, mvn, etc.) — still guarded by `SHELL_CONTROL_RE` which blocks shell operators (`;`, `&&`, `|`, `>`, etc.)
  78-- `ASK_PATTERNS`: obviously dangerous patterns (sudo, curl|bash, rm -rf /)
  79+- `HARD_ALLOW_PATTERNS`: strict anchored regexes for common safe commands (read-only Git, filesystem inspection, and version checks)
  80+- `CONFIG_ALLOW_PATTERNS`: broader prefix patterns for development tooling (Go, Make, Maven, Bun, uv, etc.) — still guarded by `SHELL_CONTROL_RE`, which blocks redirection and parameter expansion outside quoted strings
  81+- `ASK_PATTERNS`: obviously dangerous patterns (sudo, doas, su, shell invocations, and `rm -rf /`)
  82 
  83 **Stage 2 — Cache** looks up a SHA256-keyed JSONL cache at `~/.config/opencode/hooks/cache/decisions.jsonl`. Cache entries are scoped to `POLICY_VERSION` and invalidated when rules change.
  84 
  85-**Stage 3 — Haiku LLM** sends the command to Claude Haiku with a security-focused prompt. The response is cached for future use.
  86+**Stage 3 — LLM** sends the command to OpenAI with a security-focused prompt. Successful responses are cached; errors and unparseable responses become `ask` decisions and are not cached.
  87+
  88+`webfetch` is deterministically allowed as read-only. Other tool types, including MCP tools, proceed to the cache and LLM stages.
  89 
  90 ### Compound commands
  91 
  92 OpenCode splits compound commands (pipes, semicolons) into separate patterns. The plugin evaluates each individually — the most restrictive result wins (deny > ask > allow).
  93 
  94-### Session permissions
  95-
  96-The plugin monitors user messages for permission-granting language ("you can push", "go ahead and deploy") and extracts these as session-scoped permissions that influence LLM judgment.

  98 ### Notifications

 101+Desktop notifications fire for:
 102 
 103 - **Permission needed** — only when the policy engine decides "ask" (auto-handled permissions are silent)
 104 - **Session complete** — debounced, main agent only (subagents are filtered out)
 105 - **Session error/cancelled**
 106 - **Question** — when OpenCode's question tool needs your input
 107 
 108-Notifications are suppressed when the terminal is focused (supports Wayland compositors, X11, tmux, and WezTerm pane detection).
 109+Notifications use `notify-send` on Linux and `osascript` on macOS.
