v1.3.0: GitLab Agent Platform + Node.js Support
Release Date: March 23, 2026
🎯 Summary
GitLab Agent Platform support, multi-step authentication, update confirmation, and Node.js runtime!
🚀 Major Feature: GitLab Agent Platform
What's New?
OpenCode now fully supports GitLab Agent Platform with automatic discovery of workflow models from your GitLab instance.
What is GitLab Agent Platform?
If you use GitLab to host your code, you can now let Agents use OpenCode's local tools (file read/write, shell execution, etc.) over WebSocket, running AI-assisted features directly in your GitLab workflows.
How to Use?
- Ensure your GitLab instance is configured with Agent support
- OpenCode will automatically discover available workflow models
- Select GitLab-related Agents in your conversations
🆕 New Feature: Git-backed Session Review
What's New?
New git-backed code review modes allow you to review uncommitted changes and branch diffs directly within OpenCode.
Benefits
- Default review source changed to Git changes: More aligned with real code review scenarios
- Desktop review panel sync: Stays synchronized with your selected review source
- More intuitive code review: Complete code reviews without leaving OpenCode
🔐 New Feature: Multistep Authentication
What's New?
Desktop app now supports multistep authentication flows, enabling login with OAuth providers, SAML, and other complex auth methods.
Benefits
If your company or organization uses enterprise authentication (SSO, OAuth), you can now complete login directly in the OpenCode desktop app.
Supported authentication methods:
- OAuth providers
- SAML single sign-on
- Authentication flows requiring additional questions
⚠️ New Feature: Interactive Update Flow
What's New?
Major and minor updates now show a confirmation dialog before upgrading.
Benefits
- Preview changes: See what's new before upgrading
