Data-loss risk: orphan cleanup deletes bind-mounted repos #128
Description
When mounting a host directory into /workspace/repos/..., OpenCode Manager startup cleanup removed that directory as "orphaned", causing data loss.
Suspected code
backend/src/services/repo.ts(cleanupOrphanedDirectories)- called from
backend/src/index.ts
Expected
- never
rm -rfunknown dirs by default or without asking - protect bind mounts/external dirs
- make cleanup opt-in (env flag) or dry-run first?
- aks user if they wanna add the new detected folder as a repo
I don't understand why a Docker named volume is the default for project directories, since it's impractical for common development workflows where you need to test locally on the host before committing; I had to add my project folder first via UI and then bind-mount ~/workspaces:/workspace.

Good findings! I guess this was done to support container installs.
To support local and container maybe we could go with something like:
Mount detection: Use stat to check if a directory's device differs from the repos base directory (bind mounts = different device). Mounted dirs get protection.
Two-tier cleanup:
Internal-created (same filesystem, OpenCode-owned): Safe to clean
External-mounted (different filesystem, user-owned): Never touch
Opt-in required: Disable all cleanup by default. Users who want automatic cleanup (contained installs) explicitly enable it.

Yes, I believe this was before the File management and file browser. I just decided to remove it all together. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The user could always go in and browse the workspace and clean up any directories.
