host-reachable for Remote-Containers or Remote-SSH webviews; document the
required host-reachable forwarding or external-URI resolution, and remove the
incorrect claim that each webview can safely use its container-local port
without host-side collisions.

opencode serve uses the explicit --port argument first, then global server.port,
and otherwise defaults to 0; remove claims that project opencode.json or
OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT control the listening port. Revise the Dockerfile

in ChatPanel.live whose iframe uses the old server origin, not only
ChatPanel.current; ensure stale side-by-side panels are removed before the
primary panel is recreated after notifyServerUrlChanged().
In `@packages/extension/src/deck/shell.ts`:
- Around line 410-413: Update the server-url-changed handling in
DeckPanel.openOrReveal and the surrounding deck lifecycle so an origin change
disposes the existing deck and recreates it with the new URL, boot.origin, and
CSP; avoid reusing the stale panel while preserving the existing pane broadcast
behavior where applicable.

- Around line 836-843: The server URL change handling is only attached to the
initial ServerManager, leaving replacement managers inconsistent. Extract the
existing ChatPanel.notifyServerUrlChanged and conditional
ChatPanel.disposeCurrent logic into a shared ready-handler helper, then register
that handler on every ServerManager created for solver-mode switching, vault
respawn, standalone transition, and initial startup.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Align the devcontainer documentation with the implementation. The port precedence should describe --port, global server.port, and the default port rather than project configuration or OPENCODE_CONFIG_CONTENT. Also update the restart guidance to explain that the webview uses location.origin for URL recovery and that a fixed port only preserves origin-scoped state; localStorage clearing should not be presented as required.

🌐 Web query:
VS Code remote development webview iframe localhost port forwarding WebviewPanel remote extension host localhost
💡 Result:
When developing VS Code extensions for remote environments (such as SSH, Containers, or GitHub Codespaces), accessing a localhost web server inside a WebviewPanel requires special handling because webviews run in an isolated context on the user's local machine, while the extension host runs on the remote server [1][2]. Simply referencing localhost inside the webview will resolve to the user's local machine, not the remote host [1][2]. To bridge this gap, you should use one of the following approaches based on your requirements: 1. vscode.env.asExternalUri (Recommended for iframes) This is the most reliable method for loading content into an iframe within a webview [3]. It programmatically converts a local URI into an external, accessible URI that VS Code routes through its remote tunneling infrastructure [1][4]. Example: const serverUri = await vscode.env.asExternalUri(vscode.Uri.parse('http://localhost:3000')); panel.webview.html = <iframe src="${serverUri}"></iframe>; 2. Webview portMapping If you do not intend to support the browser-based editor (e.g., Codespaces web) and only need support for the VS Code desktop client, you can use the portMapping option in your WebviewOptions [1][4]. This maps a port inside the webview to a specific port on the remote host [2][4]. Example: const panel = vscode.window.createWebviewPanel( 'example', 'Example', vscode.ViewColumn.One, { enableScripts: true, portMapping: [{ webviewPort: 3000, extensionHostPort: 3000 }] }); Important Limitations: - WebSockets: Port mapping does not support WebSocket connections [5]. If your webview requires WebSockets, you must use other communication channels, such as the VS Code message passing API (postMessage/onDidReceiveMessage) between the webview and the extension host [6][5]. - Browser-based Editors: The portMapping approach is generally not supported in browser-based environments (like Codespaces in a web browser) [1][4]. In such cases, vscode.env.asExternalUri is the preferred, more compatible solution [1][3]. - Security: Always ensure your HTML content defines a proper Content Security Policy (CSP) to permit the loading of external resources [1][7].

Use a host-reachable URI for remote webviews. ChatPanel embeds the raw http://127.0.0.1:<port> URL from the extension host and does not use vscode.env.asExternalUri or portMapping. In Remote-Containers and Remote-SSH, the webview runs on the host, so 127.0.0.1 refers to the host, not the container or SSH host. Update lines 183-193 to describe the required host forwarding, or resolve the server URL with asExternalUri. The multiple-container claim is also incorrect because host-side webviews can collide when forwarded ports differ or overlap.

Dispose every panel that uses the old origin.
ChatPanel.live includes panels created by openNew, but disposeCurrent() disposes only the primary panel. When notifyServerUrlChanged() returns true, extension.ts calls this method and recreates only ChatPanel.current. Side-by-side panels keep an iframe whose CSP and relay target still use the old origin. They cannot follow the new server after an ephemeral-port restart. Dispose or recreate every live panel whose origin differs before opening the new primary panel.

Reuse this ready handler for every ServerManager instance.
This handler is registered only on the initial server manager. The replacement managers created for solver-mode switching at Lines 757-785, vault respawn at Lines 897-925, and standalone transition at Lines 1307-1340 do not call ChatPanel.notifyServerUrlChanged(url) or ChatPanel.disposeCurrent(). In ephemeral mode, those flows leave existing panels on the dead origin. In same-port mode, they omit the restart notification. Move the common ready handling into a helper and register it on every server manager.

PR Notes: amicode — Server URL Push on Restart
Summary
Companion to the opencode PR (boot-ID + SSE resilience). Adds the extension-host
side of the "no GUI response" fix: when the server restarts, the extension host
notifies the webview immediately — and if the port changed (ephemeral mode),
recreates the panel so
location.originis correct.Changes
packages/extension/src/chat_panel.tsorigininstance field: records the URL origin the panel was built with.Used to detect port changes on restart.

server-url-changed(Lane 2) to all live panels as a"restart happened" signal.
true, signaling the caller to dispose and recreate.disposeCurrent()static method: disposes the underlyingvscode.WebviewPanel. The panel'sonDidDisposehandler cleans up internalstate (
ChatPanel.current,ChatPanel.live).Lane 2 allowlist:
"server-url-changed"added to the relay script's messagefilter, permitting the extension host to forward this message kind to the iframe.

thememessages are fanned out.packages/extension/src/extension.tsserverManager.onReadyhandler (the one that fires on allsuccessful server starts, including restarts): added URL-push logic.
ChatPanel.notifyServerUrlChanged(url).true(port changed), callsChatPanel.disposeCurrent()—the subsequent
openOrRevealcreates a fresh panel with the new iframe src.server-url-changedmessage is sufficient — theSSE reconnect loop + boot-ID detection handle the state refresh.
