opencode install fails with ENOENT for missing caveman-compress.md

[edvelhope]

What happen
When installing the Caveman plugin for opencode using the command npx -y github:JuliusBrussee/caveman -- --only opencode, the installer throws an error because it tries to copy a file (caveman-compress.md) that does not exist in the package. The installation is partially successful (other files are copied), but the process exits with a failure message.

Expected
All required files for the opencode plugin should be installed without errors, including any command .md files.

Before/after example
Run the following command in a terminal:
npx -y github:JuliusBrussee/caveman -- --only opencode

The installer outputs:

opencode install failed: ENOENT: no such file or directory, copyfile '/home/edoardo/.npm/_npx/1915db09411464bc/node_modules/caveman-installer/src/plugins/opencode/commands/caveman-compress.md' -> '/home/edoardo/.config/opencode/commands/caveman-compress.md'

Platform

• Opencode

Confirmed, same for me. OpenCode on arch-based Linux.

Is it expected to function like this?

Same behaviour as me, macOS

Appears to be related to #422

@kjohnsen I'm not sure, looks different

This is a known problem it seems to be a bad .gitignore of the caveman-compress.md file... So I went to PRs and searched for this file as lot of people tried to add it again. I simply created the file in the correct dir at the cloned caveman repo... But then I saw I couldn't start OpenCode anymore after installing caveman for it.

So I opened this issue: #422 (comment)

As you can see at the description I explained it all. I hope it gets fixed the sooner, the better.

Thanks I will take a look later and update my issue if this fixes the problem!
