[OpenCode] suppressing some categories do not work.

[casidiablo]

My config:

{
  "active_pack": "peon",
  "volume": 1,
  "enabled": true,
  "categories": {
    "session.start": false,
    "session.end": true,
    "task.acknowledge": false,
    "task.complete": false,
    "task.error": true,
    "task.progress": false,
    "input.required": true,
    "resource.limit": true,
    "user.spam": false
  },
  "spam_threshold": 3,
  "spam_window_seconds": 10,
  "pack_rotation": [
    "sopranos",
    "rick",
    "openpeon-mrmeeseeks",
    "peasant_es",
    "peon",
    "deadpool",
    "aoe2"
  ],
  "pack_rotation_mode": "random",
  "debounce_ms": 2000,
  "desktop_notifications": true
}

I want to disable both task.acknowledge and user.spam (among others), but I still get those notifications A LOT. Here are the logs for the last session I had:

Thanks for the detailed logs — that's exactly what makes this debuggable.

The suppressed=False reason="" line tells us peon.sh routed those events without seeing task.acknowledge / user.spam as disabled. Which means the config peon.sh actually reads doesn't have your category disables applied.

OpenCode's thin-adapter installer may have written your config to a separate file:

• ~/.config/opencode/peon-ping/config.json — what OpenCode's installer creates
• ~/.claude/hooks/peon-ping/config.json — what peon.sh actually reads at runtime

These two files are NOT kept in sync for categories — only default_pack, volume, enabled, desktop_notifications, pack_rotation, and mobile_notify sync between them.

Can you confirm:

1. Run cat ~/.claude/hooks/peon-ping/config.json | grep -A 12 categories and share what it shows for task.acknowledge and user.spam there?
2. Which file did you edit? The config you pasted above — was that from ~/.config/opencode/peon-ping/config.json or ~/.claude/hooks/peon-ping/config.json?

The fix from our end: we should either (a) sync categories between both configs, or (b) retire the separate OpenCode config entirely since the thin adapter doesn't use it. Tracking this as a follow-up.

Quick workaround for you right now: edit ~/.claude/hooks/peon-ping/config.json directly and set those two categories to false there, then restart OpenCode. That's the config peon.sh reads when OpenCode fires an event.

[casidiablo]

Yeah, that makes sense. I was editing the opencode one, but a .claude/ one also exists.

My confusion was in that I don't even have claude code installed, so I didn't bother looking in other directories.

[atkrv]

So historically, at the beginning ~/.claude folder was something like a dependency for OpenCode adapter. The separation isn't done yet.

[garysheng]

Thanks @casidiablo and @atkrv, that confirms the diagnosis. The deeper issue: OpenCode users who don't have claude-code installed shouldn't need a ~/.claude/hooks/peon-ping/config.json at all. Right now the historical assumption that ~/.claude is the canonical config home leaks through, and only a subset of keys (default_pack, volume, enabled, desktop_notifications, pack_rotation, mobile_notify) sync between ~/.config/opencode/peon-ping/config.json and ~/.claude/hooks/peon-ping/config.json. categories is one of the keys that doesn't sync, which is why your edits had no effect.

Two-step plan:

1. Short term: extend the sync list to include categories and spam_threshold so editing the OpenCode config "just works" for the common cases. Easy win.
2. Medium term: when claude-code isn't installed, peon.sh should read the OpenCode config directly rather than requiring a mirror. This is the same root cluster as Not working on Windows10 powershell Opencode. #353 (peon-ping.ts hardcoding peon.sh on Windows where only peon.ps1 exists).

Tracking this. Will land (1) in the next release; (2) is a small refactor that I'll bundle with #353.
