+Disable the OpenCode Electron app's self-updater inside a Flatpak, in place.
+
+Sets UPDATER_ENABLED = false in out/main/index.js inside app.asar. This is a
+same-length text replacement, so the asar binary is patched directly without
+extract/repack (which would drop the app.asar.unpacked native-module
+metadata). The asar header, all offsets, and the unpacked entries are
+preserved byte-for-byte.
+
+Flatpak provides updates via the OS updater (GNOME Software / KDE Discover /
+flatpak update); the electron-updater self-updater can't install into the
+read-only /app anyway, so it must be disabled. Upstream issue:
+https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/39670
+
+Usage: patch-opencode-asar.py <path/to/app.asar>
