README config path is outdated: references ~/.opencode/opencode.jsonc instead of ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json

Issue

The README installation instructions reference an outdated config path.

What the README says

Step 2 says to edit ~/.opencode/opencode.jsonc:

{
  "plugin": ["opencode-qwencode-auth"]
}

What actually happens

OpenCode's current config location is ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, not ~/.opencode/opencode.jsonc. The ~/.opencode/ directory and opencode.jsonc file do not exist on a fresh install.

Additionally, the install step says:

cd ~/.opencode && npm install opencode-qwencode-auth

But OpenCode auto-installs npm plugins at startup from the config file. The ~/.opencode/package.json approach appears to be from an older plugin system.

Suggested fix

Update the README to reflect the current config path and plugin installation method:

1. Config path: Change ~/.opencode/opencode.jsonc to ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json
2. Plugin installation: Clarify that adding the package to the plugin array in the config file is sufficient — OpenCode handles npm installation automatically at startup
3. File format: The actual config file is opencode.json (not opencode.jsonc)

Corrected installation steps should be

1. Add the plugin to your config

Edit ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json:

{
  "plugin": ["opencode-qwencode-auth"]
}

OpenCode will automatically install the npm package on next startup.

2. Login

opencode auth login

Then select "Other" and type qwen-code.

Update: I think this plugin is broken permanently. Alibaba is doing some creative json field checks and fingerprinting to lock their OAuth endpoints down

Yeah, this is broken. I can't even use the plugin by authenticating inside the OpenCode CLI. Also by following your steps, the plugin doesn't even appear for me. It asks me for an API key, which I don't have.
