SIGILL (EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION) crash when TUI starts over Termius/Android SSH on macOS 12 Intel

[kelastanpatembok]

Summary

Running opencode (v1.18.16) crashes immediately with SIGILL (EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION) when the interactive TUI starts over an SSH connection from the Termius app on Android. It works fine:

• locally in Terminal.app,
• over a plain ssh localhost TTY,
• at any terminal size.

The crash is reproducible in both a plain SSH shell and inside tmux over the same Termius connection. It is a startup crash — the process dies before any log lines are written.

Environment

• opencode 1.18.16 (Bun single binary, /Users/USER/.opencode/bin/opencode, 148 MB, x86_64)
• macOS 12.7.6 (21H1320) on an Intel MacBookPro11,4 (i7-4770HQ)
• Client: Termius on Android, SSH over Tailscale, TERM=xterm-256color, ~58x22 terminal
• No tmux/opencode config involved; fresh session also crashes

Steps to reproduce

1. From Termius on Android, SSH into the Mac (TERM=xterm-256color).
2. Run opencode (also reproduced inside tmux).
3. The process dies immediately with zsh: illegal hardware instruction.

Expected

The TUI starts and renders (as it does locally and over plain ssh).

This looks like a JavaScriptCore (Bun) JIT code-generation crash on an old Intel macOS build, triggered only by a code path reached during TUI startup through the Termius terminal interaction. Happy to attach the full .ips files if useful.

Workarounds found

• opencode serve / opencode web (headless, no TUI) works.
• Plain ssh from another client (tested via ssh localhost) does not crash, so it appears specific to Termius's terminal capability responses.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• TUI crashes at startup (Bun SIGILL in drainMicrotasks, libopentui) when the terminal answers the capability handshake only partially #41483: Near-identical crash — TUI SIGILL at startup when a phone SSH client (Termius/Moshi) answers the terminal capability handshake only partially. Same symptom, same root cause hypothesis, more detailed reproduction matrix.
• [Bug] Bun v1.3.14 segfault on Linux ARM64 (Debian 12, Kernel 6.1) when running via SSH (Termius iPhone) #35384: Same pattern — Bun segfault/SIGILL on startup via Termius SSH (iOS), works fine locally. Includes a workaround (ulimit -s unlimited) and terminfo fix.
• zsh: illegal hardware instruction opencode #8345: Same error (zsh: illegal hardware instruction) on macOS 12.7.6 Intel Mac — may share the same underlying Bun/JIT issue on older Intel hardware.
• Crash on older Intel Macs (Illegal instruction / AVX2 incompatibility) #24876 / macOS x64 "baseline" binary requires AVX2/FMA — crashes on Ivy Bridge CPUs #29039: Crashes on older Intel Macs (illegal instruction / AVX2 incompatibility) — if the SIGILL is CPU-instruction related rather than terminal-handshake related, these may be relevant too.
