Summary

kilo plugin writes plugin entries to .opencode/opencode.json(c) even in Kilo-branded projects that use .kilo/kilo.json(c). This splits the config across two files, confusing users who configure plugins manually in kilo.json.

Closes #9503

Changes

  • patchDir(): Now async. Searches for existing .kilocode.kilo.opencode directories; defaults to .kilo for fresh installs (matching Kilo branding).
  • patchNames() (replaces patchName()): Returns ["kilo", "opencode"] for server kind, so patchOne tries kilo.jsonc / kilo.json first, then falls back to opencode.jsonc / opencode.json.
  • patchOne(): Iterates through all name variants from patchNames() to find existing config files.
  • PatchDeps.files type: Widened from "opencode" | "tui" to string to accept "kilo".
  • patchPluginConfig(): Updated for async patchDir().

Backward compatibility

Existing projects with .opencode/ config directories continue to work — patchDir detects the existing directory and writes there. Only fresh installs (no existing config dir) get the new .kilo/ default.

Testing

  • Updated 13 existing tests to expect .kilo/ paths for fresh install scenarios
  • Existing tests with pre-created .opencode/ configs remain unchanged (backward compat verified)
  • Added 2 new tests:
    • prefers existing .kilo dir over .opencode default
    • falls back to existing .opencode dir for legacy projects
  • All tests pass: bun run test -- test/plugin/install.test.ts

kilo plugin now writes to .kilo/kilo.json(c) instead of
.opencode/opencode.json(c) for fresh installs. Existing projects with
.opencode/ or .kilocode/ directories continue to work — patchDir
detects existing directories and writes there.

Changes:
- patchDir: async, searches .kilocode → .kilo → .opencode, defaults to .kilo
- patchNames: returns ["kilo", "opencode"] for server kind
- patchOne: iterates all name variants to find existing config files
- PatchDeps.files type: accepts any string name
- Tests updated + 2 new backward-compat tests added

WARNING: Existing legacy plugin config can still get split

Many Kilo projects already have a .kilo/ directory for commands or agents even when their plugin config still lives in .opencode/opencode.json(c). This loop returns .kilo as soon as that directory exists, so kilo plugin will create a new .kilo/kilo.json(c) instead of updating the existing legacy config. It would be safer to choose the directory based on an existing config file, not just the directory name.

Address review feedback: a .kilo/ directory may exist for agents/modes
while plugin config lives in .opencode/opencode.json(c). Now patchDir
checks for actual config files in each directory, preventing accidental
config splitting.

Added test: 'does not split config when .kilo dir exists but plugin
config is in .opencode'

Closing this PR — I need to better understand the project conventions (kilocode_change markers, test requirements, AGENTS.md workflow) before contributing. Will study the codebase more carefully first. Thanks for the feedback.
