[FEATURE] Undo message only - keep file changes (like Claude Code)

[SYRS-AI]

Feature Request

Add an option to undo/remove AI messages from conversation history while preserving file changes.

Current Behavior

The /undo command reverts both:

1. The conversation message
2. The file changes made by AI

There's no way to keep the file changes while cleaning up the conversation history.

Requested Behavior

Add a new command or option like:

• /undo --keep-files or /undo -k
• /forget (removes message only)
• Or a separate UI button for "Remove message, keep changes"

Use Cases

1. Conversation cleanup: After AI makes correct changes through multiple back-and-forth messages, I want to clean up the messy conversation history while keeping the final working code.

2. Context management: Long conversations eat up context window. Being able to remove old messages while keeping their file changes helps manage context efficiently.

3. Iterative development: AI made changes across 5 messages. The code is good now, but I don't need all that conversation history cluttering my session.

Prior Art

Claude Code has this feature - you can undo messages while preserving file changes. It's extremely useful for keeping conversations clean without losing work.

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• OpenCode version: Latest

@SYRS-AI you're looking for

in your global opencode.json

I would like this functionality too. Sometimes I want to revert file changes but most of the time I want to only revert to a previous prompt (without reverting the files too). I use this all the time for managing the context window:

• do a bunch of discovery, dump that into a concise learnings file, then revert to before the discovery and load the learnings file (which I don't want to disappear when I revert)
• working on a problem which I realize is two problems have way through the session. Once the first problem is solved, revert some of the context that was only relevant to the first problem (and I don't want any more), and continue with the second issue (could fork, but I don't really care about the problem 1 session history so reverting makes more sense).
• I can disable snapshots in opencode.json (which I do most of the time), but then if I do want to actually revert session and files, I don't have an option to do that (@IgorWarzocha)

For example, I would like to see another option in this dialog such as "Revert undo message but keep file changes":

Note, there is also a bug in that dialog in that if you have snapshots disabled, the current option is misleading because it will not in fact revert files changes too.
