[Bug report]: Adding "yolo": true to config.json causes opencode to fail on startup

[maryjeck]

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

• I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Concise version:

I added "yolo": true to my config.json to enable YOLO mode, but after that opencode fails to start (error or crash immediately). Is this the wrong way to enable it, or is this a known issue?

Detailed version (suitable for a bug report):

Description
I tried to use YOLO mode by adding "yolo": true to config.json (as suggested in some discussions).

Expected behavior
opencode starts normally with YOLO mode enabled.

Actual behavior
After adding the config, opencode cannot start at all – it exits immediately with an error. Removing "yolo": true makes it work again.

Environment

• opencode --version: 1.15.13
• OS: win11

This issue doesn't fully meet our contributing guidelines.

What needs to be fixed:

• This issue describes a bug (opencode crashes/fails to start after adding "yolo": true to config), but it was filed using the Feature Request template. Please re-submit or edit this issue to use the Bug Report template instead, which requires a description of the problem, expected behavior, actual behavior, and reproduction steps (which you've already provided — great!).

Please edit this issue to address the above within 2 hours, or it will be automatically closed.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• feat: YOLO Mode — Auto-Approve All Permission Prompts #11831: YOLO Mode feature request (related — discusses auto-approving permissions via YOLO mode)
• [FEATURE]: Add --dangerously-skip-permissions (aka YOLO mode) #8463: Feature request for a --dangerously-skip-permissions / YOLO mode flag

If you believe this was flagged incorrectly, please let a maintainer know.

Thanks for updating the issue! However, it's still not quite right.

What still needs to be fixed:

The issue content describes a bug (opencode crashes on startup after adding "yolo": true to config), but the Feature Request template is still being used (the "Feature hasn't been suggested before" verification checkbox is present in the body).

Please re-submit or edit this issue to use the Bug Report template, which requires:

• A Description field with what went wrong
• Steps or context on how to reproduce it
• Expected vs. actual behavior

You've already written the content — it just needs to be in the Bug Report template format. The title can stay as-is (or remove the [Bug report]: prefix if you prefer plain titles).
