v2 serve: configured Basic Auth credentials always return 401 #45856

Summary

opencode2 serve rejects the exact HTTP Basic Auth username and password supplied through OPENCODE_SERVER_USERNAME and OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD. In a browser, this causes an endless login prompt and prevents using serve with fixed credentials.

Environment

• opencode version: opencode2 v0.0.0-beta-18414
• OS: Linux 7.0.0-30-generic x86_64 (Ubuntu)
• Terminal: TERM=xterm-256color, COLORTERM=truecolor, Herdr terminal environment
• Shell: /bin/bash
• Install/channel: beta binary installed at ~/.opencode/bin/opencode2
• Active plugins: local .opencode/plugins/smoke-theme.json and .opencode/plugins/tui-smoke.tsx; no plugins configured in the global config

Reproduction

1. Start a fresh server with known credentials:

   OPENCODE_SERVER_USERNAME=testuser OPENCODE_SERVER_PASSWORD=testpass opencode2 serve --port 4197

2. Confirm that both variables are present in the running server process.

3. Request the health endpoint with those exact credentials:

   curl -u testuser:testpass http://127.0.0.1:4197/api/health

4. Open http://127.0.0.1:4197 in a browser and enter the same credentials.

Expected Behavior

The configured credentials authenticate successfully, the health request returns 200, and the web UI loads after one login prompt.

Actual Behavior

The authenticated health request returns 401. The server log records repeated responses such as:

http.method=GET http.url=/api/health http.status=401
http.method=GET http.url=/ http.status=401

The browser keeps showing the Basic Auth login prompt after the correct credentials are entered.

Additional Context

• Reproduces consistently with a clean temporary server and known test credentials.
• The exact credentials read from the running process environment also return 401, ruling out shell quoting and browser credential caching.
• opencode2 pair credentials authenticate successfully against the managed background service, but they do not authenticate against the explicit serve endpoint.
• The managed-service pairing workflow is not equivalent to running a stable serve endpoint with user-selected credentials.
• No secrets or real credentials are included above.
