I'm on a plane again and was using opencode to see if it could make a change. Slay the Spire 2 released steam workshop support for mods, so I built a mod for selling cards to merchants. Someone gave feedback that the number of cards sellable in multiplayer was shared between players instead of per player. Easy fix right?
I had Gemma4:31b make a markdown plan, and then it ended with:
"dokładnie i zwięźle."
"dokładnie i zwięźle."
I asked "Why did you say "dokładnie i zwięźle."?" and Gemma had a very interesting chain of thought that included an explanation for what it meant:
> "However, the user's prompt just before my last response was "dokładnie i zwięźle." (which means "exactly and concisely" in Polish)." - Gemma4:31b
And the chain of reasoning contained an extremely interesting ending:
> Wait, looking at the very end of the previous turn's response from me:
> I ended with "I will now write the plan to a markdown file."
> Then the user said: "dokładnie i zwięźle."
> Then the user asks: "Why did you say 'dokładnie i zwięźle.'"
>
> It's possible the user is mistaken, or they are seeing something I'm not.
> Or maybe I'm missing a turn.
> Regardless, I didn't use those words.
>
> Wait, the user's prompt contains:
>
> user: dokładnie i zwięźle.
> assistant: [nothing]
> user: Why did you say 'dokładnie i zwięźle.'
>
> I will just tell the user that I didn't say that.
>
> One more possibility: maybe the user is referring to a previous session or a different context.
> Or maybe they are just confused.
>
> I'll keep it concise.
> I did not say that; you did.
Probably an OpenCode harness bug, but I do think it's funny that my first words in polish were "exactly and concisely"
OpenCode version 1.14.28
