Adds a hidden `--chat-hook-allow-insecure` /
`CODER_CHAT_HOOK_ALLOW_INSECURE` deployment option (default `false`)
that allows the chat lifecycle hook URL to use plain HTTP for any host.
The HTTPS requirement is enforced at two points, and the flag relaxes
both: `DeploymentValues.Validate()` rejects `http` hook URLs at startup,
and the hook dispatcher's `validateHookURL` allows `http` only for
loopback hosts. With the flag set, any-host `http` is accepted; the
host, fragment/userinfo, secret, and timeout checks are unchanged, and
non-http(s) schemes still fail. This removes the need for an HTTPS
reverse proxy when testing a hook consumer on a trusted network.
Following security review feedback, the flag description and docs state
that plain HTTP lets an on-path attacker forge hook responses (which
control agent execution), and `coder server` logs a startup warning
(with a redacted hook URL) when hooks run over plain HTTP.
Docs, generated API types, and the server config golden are updated
accordingly.

## What
Regenerates `docs/admin/setup/configuration-reference.md` to include the
backtick-wrapped `<region>` placeholder that was introduced at the
source in #27399.
## Why
Commit
[`9dcb75cd`](https://github.com/coder/coder/commit/9dcb75cd567ab910d3fc07f22af4108a435de00e)
(#27399) changed the Bedrock region description in
`codersdk/deployment.go` to wrap the placeholder in backticks and added
the `docshtmlcheck` linter that requires it. The sibling generated file
`docs/reference/cli/server.md` was regenerated correctly in that commit,
but `docs/admin/setup/configuration-reference.md` was missed.
As a result, subsequent CI runs on `main` fail with:
- `gen`: `check_unstaged.sh` reports a one-line diff after `make gen`:
```
-...in the form of 'https://bedrock-runtime.<region>.amazonaws.com'.
+...in the form of `https://bedrock-runtime.<region>.amazonaws.com`.
```
- `lint`: `docshtmlcheck` fails at `configuration-reference.md:358` with
`unknown-element: <region>`.
Example failing run:
https://github.com/coder/coder/actions/runs/31036417075
## Change
Ran `make gen`. Only `docs/admin/setup/configuration-reference.md`
changed (1 insertion, 1 deletion). No source changes.
## Verification
- `make gen` produces no further diff.
- `make lint/docs-html` exits 0.

## What & why
Admin/setup docs lead with `coder server --flag` examples, but most
operators configure Coder through `CODER_*` environment variables
(system service, container, or Helm chart). There is no single page
mapping a setting to its env var, CLI flag, YAML key, and default, so
searching the docs for an env var name such as `CODER_PG_CONNECTION_URL`
returns nothing.
This adds a generated configuration reference and begins shifting admin
docs to lead with the environment-variable form.
## Changes
- **Generated configuration reference**
(`docs/admin/setup/configuration-reference.md`): a searchable,
per-setting list of every visible deployment option. Each option is a
heading (grouped and nested by serpent group) followed by its
description and the environment variable, CLI flag, YAML key, and
default that apply to it. Generated from `codersdk.DeploymentValues` so
it stays in sync.
- **Generator + `make gen` wiring** (`scripts/configdocgen/`): new
binary plus a Makefile target and `GEN_FILES` entry, mirroring the
existing `clidocgen` / `auditdocgen` pattern. Output is host-independent
(same env normalization as `clidocgen`).
- **Demo conversion** (`docs/admin/users/github-auth.md`): inverted to
lead with the `/etc/coder.d/coder.env` env-var form; the CLI-flag form
becomes a closing note that links to the reference. H2 slugs preserved.
- **Style guide** (`.claude/docs/DOCS_STYLE_GUIDE.md`): documents the
env-var-first convention for admin/setup docs.
- **Navigation**: manifest entry under Administration → Setup, plus a
TIP callout on the setup index.
## Risk
Docs + gen pipeline only; no runtime change. The page is regenerated by
`make gen`; the `gen` and `check-docs` CI checks pass.
## Follow-up
Several other admin pages still lead with flag walls. Recommend sweeping
them incrementally in separate PRs rather than expanding scope here.
<details>
<summary>Implementation notes (provenance, conflict resolution,
verification)</summary>
- Continues prior work by @aslilac and @bpmct from the
`kayla/docs-env-vars-first` branch. Both original commits are
cherry-picked here with authorship preserved.
- Rebased onto current `main`. Resolved two `Makefile` conflicts where
`main` had since added the `feature-stages.md` gen target at the same
locations; kept both targets (union) in `GEN_FILES`, `gen/mark-fresh`,
and the recipe block.
- The original branch's checked-in page predated recent
`codersdk.DeploymentValues` changes, so it was **regenerated** against
current `main` (adds `CODER_SCIM_USE_LEGACY`, the `Networking / Cluster`
section with `CODER_CLUSTER_HOST`, `CODER_BOUNDARY_LOG_RETENTION`, and
the AI Gateway description rename). The `gen` CI check enforces this
stays current.
- Fixed flag-link anchors for short-form flags (`--config`,
`--log-filter`): the generator derives the anchor from `FlagShorthand`
to match `clidocgen`'s heading (e.g. `#-l---log-filter`).
- `linkspector` ignores the AWS Bedrock base URL that appears as an
illustrative `<region>` placeholder in an option description, consistent
with the existing `openai.com` ignore patterns.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Configuration reference layout (2026-07-08 update)</summary>
Reworked the reference from a wide table into a nested, per-setting list
so it fits without horizontal scrolling and stops repeating the group
name in every heading:
- **List, not table.** Each option renders as a heading, its
description, and a bullet list of only the configuration methods that
apply to it (non-applicable methods are omitted instead of shown as
`-`).
- **Nested sections.** Sections nest by the serpent group hierarchy, so
`Email / Email Authentication` becomes `Email` (h2) with an `Email
authentication` (h3) subsection instead of a redundant flat title.
- **Shorter, sentence-case headings.** The redundant group prefix is
stripped from each option name and the remainder is lowercased to
sentence case, preserving acronyms and mixed-case tokens (`URL`, `TLS`,
`OAuth2`, `GitHub`) plus a small proper-noun allowlist (`Coder`,
`Terraform`, `Honeycomb`, `Anthropic`, `Bedrock`, ...). Example: `AI
Gateway Send Actor Headers` becomes `Send actor headers`.
- **Deprecated options** sort to the end of each section and lead with
an emphasized **Deprecated** marker. Headings stay clean (no
`(deprecated)` suffix) so their anchors remain stable.
- **Section intros** render from a group's `Description` when the source
defines one (e.g. DERP); no hand-maintained prose or links are
introduced.
All transformations run in pure Go at `make gen` time (no AI at
generation time). Generation is idempotent, and `markdownlint` and
`golangci-lint` both pass.

## Context
Follow-up fix from live UAT of the merged chat lifecycle hooks stack
(#27430). Its companion UAT fix (#27655) has merged, so this targets
`main` directly.
## Why?
UAT measured a burst of 1,500 concurrent chat creations against a
consumer with 1.2s latency. 255 were admitted and 1,245 got `502
hook_dispatch_failed (over_capacity)`, which is correct fail-closed
behavior. The collateral wasn't: the same burst failed 24 `stop`
dispatches, parking chats that had already been admitted and had already
executed tools. One 256-slot semaphore served every event, so new-work
admission could take every slot and kill turns in flight.
Callers now classify each dispatch as admission or generation, and
admission draws from a 192-slot gate held *before* the shared pool. At
least 64 shared slots stay reachable only by dispatches for work a chat
already admitted. The dispatcher is per `coderd` replica, so these
limits are per replica, not deployment-wide, and the docs say so.
**The caller classifies, not the event type.** Event type isn't a
reliable proxy in either direction: a subagent spawn dispatches
`user_prompt_submit` from inside a running turn, and the edit path
dispatches `session_start` at admission time. `CapacityClassUnset` is
rejected in `Dispatch`, so a new call site fails closed rather than
silently inheriting a share.
**Acquisition order is load-bearing.** Admission takes its own gate
first. Taking a shared slot first would let admissions queued on the
gate occupy the very capacity the reserve protects. `acquireCapacity` is
the only path that takes either pool, so the order can't be bypassed.
## What this does not guarantee
Nothing bounds how many turns generate concurrently, so the 192/64 split
is a judgement call, not a derived ceiling. This stops an *admission*
burst from consuming every slot; it does not make the remainder
sufficient. A large enough generation load can still exhaust the reserve
and error a running chat. The docs say so explicitly rather than
promising a guarantee the code doesn't deliver.
Generation can now take all 256 slots, so generation traffic starves
admission harder than before. That's the intended priority: rejecting a
new prompt is recoverable, ending a turn that already ran tools is not.
## Testing
Red-green proved both new tests. Removing the release-on-failure path
fails `RefusedSharedAcquireReleasesAdmission` deterministically;
removing the expired-deadline check fails
`ExpiredDeadlineRefusesFreeSlot` in 18/30 runs.
That deadline check fixes a real race found in review. `acquire`
previously shared one `time.Timer` across both acquires. Because
`select` picks a ready case at random, an admission dispatch could take
a slot after its capacity deadline had passed. Measured over 300 trials:
135 late acquisitions, worst overshoot 2.1ms. `acquire` now takes an
absolute deadline and refuses an expired one before selecting, which
measures 0/300.
Go: `coderd/x/agenthooks/...` and `coderd/x/chatd/...`, plus `-race
-count=3` on the dispatcher.

## Stack Context
Follow-up fixes from live UAT of the merged chat lifecycle hooks stack
(#27430). Two PRs:
1. **This PR**: make hook effects visible and correctly attributed in
the transcript.
2. [`mike/chat-hooks-uat/dispatch-capacity`]: reserve dispatch capacity
so an admission burst can't fail running turns.
## Why?
UAT found three ways the transcript misrepresented what a lifecycle hook
did. All three are user-visible and share the same surface
(`chathooks/effects.go`, `codersdk.ChatMessagePart`, the conversation
timeline), so they're reviewed together.
**A prompt `input_override` silently discarded attachments.**
`ComposeUserPromptContent` replaced the entire submitted part list with
one text part, dropping `file` and `file-reference` parts along with
their `chat_file_links`. The user saw their attachments vanish with no
explanation. The override now replaces submitted *text* parts only and
preserves non-text parts in order. A consumer that wants to block
attachments uses `deny`, which is the documented mechanism for refusing
a submission.
**Every user-visible `system` row was labelled "Lifecycle hook".** The
timeline keyed the notice off `role === "system"`. That was correct only
by accident, because the hook `user_message` was the sole client-visible
system row. The backend now emits the notice as a typed `hook-notice`
part and the timeline renders on that, so a future system row can't be
mislabelled as a policy notice.
**Nothing marked a tool call the hook had rewritten.** A consumer could
replace tool input via `input_override` and the transcript showed the
rewritten input as if the model had produced it. `ChatMessagePart` gains
`hook_rewritten`, set from `preflight.Overrides` on the same path that
already carries `ToolCallCreatedAt`, and the tool row renders a
"Modified by policy" badge.
`ToolCall.PolicyProvider` renders the badge itself, at four wrap sites:
the `Tool` dispatch wrapper, the `ReadFilesTool` aggregate and its
per-file rows, and `ReadFileTimelineBlock` (grouped and single
`read_file` rows bypass `Tool`). Renderer props do not include the flag;
descendants consume it through the provider context.
The badge is emitted by the provider rather than by the shared header
because several renderer branches return early without one, including
the auth-required `execute` card, a completed `ask_user_question`, and
an empty question payload. Those branches would drop the attribution
with no type or runtime error, and the gap is not greppable: every
renderer file contains a header somewhere, only individual branches do
not. Emitting at the provider removes the possibility instead of
enumerating the cases.
A rewritten call is wrapped in a group labelled by its badge, so one
rewritten file inside a merged read is attributed on its own rather than
inheriting the group's badge. `HeaderButton` still appends the policy
wording to an explicit `ariaLabel`, since an explicit `aria-label`
replaces the name computed from descendants.
Provider-executed calls are excluded from attribution. Hooks never see
them, and duplicate tool-call ID rejection deliberately skips them, so a
reused ID would otherwise mark a provider-executed call as
policy-rewritten.
## Testing
Go: `coderd/x/chatd/...`, `coderd/x/agenthooks/...`, `codersdk/...`, and
`coderd -run 'Hook|Chat'`. Frontend: `tsc` plus every `AgentsPage`
story; the only failures are `MCP Tool Completed` and `Scroll To Bottom
Button Works With Inverse Scroll`, both of which fail on trunk.
A registry-wide story asserts every registered renderer shows the badge,
verified against three inverted toggles: removing the badge, hiding it
with `display:none`, and skipping the provider for one renderer (which
names that renderer). Storybook also covers the rewritten subagent
spawn, a completed empty question payload, a non-hook system message,
and a failed `read_file` guarding the accessible name.
> Mux opened this PR on Mike's behalf.
Wires chat lifecycle hooks into chatd, gated by the
`agent-lifecycle-hooks` experiment. Part of the lifecycle hooks stack
(#27401, #27428, #27430). See `docs/admin/setup/chat-lifecycle-hooks.md`
for the consumer-facing contract.
## Summary
When a hook URL is configured, chatd dispatches `session_start`,
`user_prompt_submit`, `pre_tool_use`, `post_tool_use`, `pre_compact`,
`post_compact`, and `stop` events to the consumer and applies its
responses.
## Design
- **Stateless**: Coder stores no hook dispatch or decision state.
Delivery is at least once; consumers deduplicate on stable payload
identifiers (chat ID, event type, tool-use ID) and answer duplicates
with the same decision.
- **Admission-time prompt effects**: `user_prompt_submit` dispatches
exactly once per submission (create, send, queue, edit, subagent spawn)
and folds its effects into the stored prompt as typed message parts:
original-or-overridden user parts, then model-only `hook-context`, then
a user-visible `hook-notice`. Hook context is stripped from every
client-facing conversion; hook notices are excluded from model prompts.
The server rejects hook parts in client-submitted content.
- **Tool gating**: `pre_tool_use` allow can override tool input; deny
becomes a synthetic denied tool result, with any returned model context
persisted as a model-only transcript row so it never reaches clients.
The denial text identifies an external policy (the deployment's
lifecycle hook) as the source and marks the decision as persistent, so
the model explains the denial instead of retrying it or misreporting it
as an infrastructure failure.
- **Fail closed**: a dispatch failure rejects the triggering request or
moves the chat to the error state in the same transaction as the
affected step, so a runnable state is never published with unapproved
content.
- **Admission before persistence**: `pre_tool_use` is dispatched for the
calls the model produced, before the assistant message is stored. See
"Staged tool admission" below.
- **Fresh dispatch per tool call**: every non-provider-executed tool
call is decided by its own `pre_tool_use` dispatch; Coder never reuses
an earlier decision on the consumer's behalf. Retries re-dispatch the
same logical event.
## Structure
All hook dispatch flows through one seam: entry points build a
`chathooks.Chat` (chat identity) and a `chathooks.Message` (event
details) and call `Trigger.Trigger`, the only component that talks to
the dispatcher. The integration lives in the `coderd/x/chatd/chathooks`
subpackage, split by responsibility:
- `trigger.go`: the trigger seam; builds the wire envelope per event,
normalizes deny into a typed error, and holds the package's single
enabled-check.
- `effects.go`: pure conversion of hook results into transcript rows and
prompt parts.
- `errors.go`: failure classification (dispatch error messages, denial
mapping, tool-result dispatch-failure scanning).
- `tooluse.go`: the tool-call gate (`pre_tool_use` preflight,
`post_tool_use` payloads, applying admitted input to the step).
Server-bound glue stays in `coderd/x/chatd/hook_server.go`: the
chat-parking dispatch error handlers, the step-commit row insertion
wrappers, and the dynamic post-tool-use state loader, which depends on
chatd validation types.
This PR adopts the `codersdk/x/agenthooks` and
`coderd/x/agenthooks/dispatch` import paths introduced at the tip of
#27401; intermediate commits still reference the pre-move paths and are
not individually buildable.
## Staged tool admission
`pre_tool_use` originally ran at tool execution time, which is after the
assistant message carrying the tool call was already committed. An
`input_override` therefore had to rewrite stored message content in
place. @hugodutka pointed out that chatd treats message content as
immutable, and that the rewrite was a shortcut rather than a
requirement.
It was also a correctness problem in its own right: the rewrite only
updated the database, so the transcript could show one input while a
different one had executed.
The hook now runs before the step is persisted:
```text
provider stream ends (tool calls complete, in memory)
-> pre_tool_use dispatch per call
-> ONE transaction: assistant row with admitted inputs, synthetic denials, hook rows
-> execute
```
The step is inserted once, carrying the input the tool runs with.
`UpdateChatMessageContentByID` and `Tx.UpdateMessageContent` are deleted
from #27428, so message content stays immutable.
Two consequences, both intentional:
- **Clients converge rather than wait.** Tool-call parts still stream
live, so a rewritten call briefly shows the model's proposed input
before the committed message replaces it. The chat store already clears
stream state when an assistant message arrives, so the stored input wins
with no frontend change and no added latency before tool cards appear.
- **A call already in history was already admitted.** Execution consumes
the stored input instead of dispatching a second decision, which keeps
one dispatch and one set of hook effects per call. A consumer policy
change between admission and execution applies to later calls, not to
calls already admitted.
The per-chat debug endpoint still records the provider's original tool
input. Its purpose is to report provider behavior, and it requires an
explicit per-chat debug flag; the invariant here covers the transcript.
## Configuration
Adds `chat-hook-url`, `chat-hook-secret`, `chat-hook-timeout`, and
`chat-hook-enabled` deployment options with startup validation. The
flags are hidden from `coder server --help` while the feature is
experimental; the setup guide documents them.
## Tool input validation
Built-in tool arguments reach a consumer as raw JSON with key spelling
preserved, but the tools decode those bytes with Go, which matches
struct fields case-insensitively and keeps the last match. A policy
reading `path` could therefore authorize one value while the tool
executed another, and a lone case variant such as `{"PATH":"/secret"}`
was invisible to a policy checking for `path`.
Coder now rejects a built-in tool call whose input repeats a key or
spells a schema property with different capitalization, before the
`pre_tool_use` dispatch, so a consumer is never asked to authorize bytes
whose meaning depends on the reader. Rejected calls produce an error
result the model can retry; unambiguous calls in the same batch still
run. A consumer-authored `input_override` is rechecked after the
dispatch and fails the turn closed, because the model cannot correct it.
Dynamic and MCP inputs are excluded because the client and the workspace
agent execute those calls rather than coderd.
Two paths needed more than a schema check. Execution resolves a
deprecated tool name to its canonical tool, so validation resolves
aliases first. The `edit_files` decoder also reads `search` and
`replace`, which its schema does not advertise, so those aliases are now
matched exactly and their case variants ignored.
A hook denial now returns a structured 403 carrying `kind:
"hook_denied"`, mirroring the dispatch-failure response that already
carries its own kind. Without it a client cannot tell a policy decision
apart from a generic failure, and the chat UI titled a denial "Request
failed". Adding a kind needs no migration: `ChatErrorKind` is persisted
only inside the JSONB `chats.last_error` column, whose decoder accepts
unknown kinds.
The hook docs also correct the tool-input convergence window. A batch
dispatches sequentially before the assistant row commits, so the
original input stays visible for a span that scales with the number of
tool calls in the step rather than a single hook timeout.

Documents wildcard hostname suffixes such as `*-apps.example.com`, which
the existing application hostname parser and Helm chart already support.
Explains the generated application hostname and the DNS and TLS wildcard
required for each supported form. Also adds the suffix form to the
installation summary. Validated with the repository's documentation
linters and pre-commit hook, the hostname-pattern unit test, and an
end-to-end workspace application on Coder v2.35.2.
Normalizes non-standard code-fence language tags across `docs/**` so a
strict highlighter (Shiki, used by Fumadocs) won't fail the build on an
unrecognized language, and unifies redundant synonym tags onto one
canonical form per language. The current renderer (Speed-Highlight)
detects the language from the code content, not the fence label, so this
drift wasn't visible until now.
## Changes
- `hcl` -> `tf` (199 fences, including indented ones nested in
numbered/bulleted lists). Shiki ships `hcl` and `terraform` as two
distinct grammars (not aliases); every `hcl`-tagged fence in `docs/**`
is actually Terraform resource/data/provider syntax, so the more
specific `terraform` grammar is correct for all of them. `tf` is Shiki's
own alias for that grammar, and it's also what GitHub's own markdown
renderer resolves to the same HCL/Terraform highlighting.
- `pwsh`/`powershell` -> `ps1`. Both `ps` and `ps1` are registered
PowerShell aliases in Shiki, but on GitHub's renderer only `.ps1` is a
registered file extension (`.ps` isn't), so `ps1` renders identically to
`powershell` there today while bare `ps` would silently lose
highlighting.
- `env` -> `dotenv` (a dedicated Shiki grammar for `KEY=VALUE` files)
- `text`/`output`/`none`/`url` -> `txt`. Same built-in plain-text
fallback either way, just shorter.
- `Dockerfile` -> `dockerfile` (lowercase)
- `bash`/`shell` -> `sh` (732 fences). Shiki and GitHub both alias all
three to a single shell grammar; this was already the style guide's
stated preference, just not enforced across the existing corpus until
now.
- `markdown` -> `md` (4 fences). Alias of the same grammar in both Shiki
and GitHub.
- `jsonc` -> `json` (1 fence). The block has no comments or trailing
commas, so it doesn't need the comments-capable grammar.
- `ts` -> `tsx` (2 fences, `docs/about/contributing/frontend.md`).
Verified the actual content tokenizes identically under both grammars,
and a sibling block in the same file already needs `tsx` for real JSX,
so unifying to one tag is safe for this file. Documented a caveat: `tsx`
mis-tokenizes the legacy angle-bracket type-assertion syntax
(`<Type>value`), which is invalid in real `.tsx` files anyway, so use
`value as Type` instead.
- `yml` -> `yaml` (1 fence)
- Updated `docs/.style/style-guide/formatting.md` to document all
canonical tags
`promql` (2 fences) and `caddyfile` (2 fences) are left as-is. Shiki
doesn't bundle a grammar for either, so they need a custom grammar
registration when the site adopts Shiki, rather than degrading to `txt`.
Tracked as follow-up work under DOCS-118 and
[DOCS-544](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-544/vendor-a-local-promql-grammar-for-shiki-syntax-highlighting)
(promql).
Does not touch `offlinedocs/`.

<details>
<summary>How the fence tags were verified</summary>
Each tag was tested against a real `shiki@latest` highlighter instance
(`codeToHtml`/`codeToTokens`) and cross-checked against GitHub's
`@wooorm/starry-night` grammar sources (the renderer that actually
displays these `.md` files today, in repo browsing and PR diffs), since
that's what determines whether brevity is safe before Shiki adoption:
```text
FAIL env -- Language `env` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL Dockerfile -- Language `Dockerfile` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL promql -- Language `promql` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL caddyfile -- Language `caddyfile` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL pwsh -- Language `pwsh` is not included in this bundle.
FAIL output -- Language `output` is not included in this bundle.
```
`hcl` doesn't error in Shiki, since it's a real grammar, but that's
exactly the trap: it was silently rendering every fence with the generic
HCL grammar instead of the Terraform-specific one. Every `hcl`-tagged
fence in `docs/**` was manually checked against `origin/main` and is
genuinely Terraform content.
For `ts`/`tsx`, tokenizing the actual doc content confirmed identical
output under both grammars; a synthetic test with the legacy
angle-bracket cast syntax confirmed `tsx` degrades on that specific
construct, which the style guide now calls out.
The first normalization pass only matched fence tags at column 0
(`^```tag$`), missing tags indented inside numbered/bulleted lists. A
follow-up pass caught the remaining occurrences at any indentation
level.

> [!WARNING]
> **DO NOT MERGE** until
[DOCS-349](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-349)
([coder.com#877](https://github.com/coder/coder.com/pull/877)) has
shipped to production and baked for at least one Vercel cycle.
>
> Without DOCS-349, the relative links in this PR resolve to broken
docs-route URLs (`/docs/helm/coder/values.yaml` -> 404) instead of
GitHub URLs tagged with the displayed docs version. DOCS-349 fixes the
rewriter to classify these as GitHub blob/tree URLs with the page's
resolved ref.
## TL;DR
Converts 121 absolute
`https://github.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main/<path>` links across 39
docs markdown files to relative paths. After this lands AND DOCS-349
deploys, every one of these links will follow the displayed docs version
(mainline tag on bare URLs, explicit tag on `/@vX.Y.Z/`, `main` on
`/@main/`) instead of always pointing to `main`.
## Why
Today a reader on `/docs/@v2.30.0/install/docker` follows a
`compose.yaml` link and arrives at `main`'s `compose.yaml`, which
doesn't necessarily match what the docs page describes. Helm values,
Terraform templates, and source-code references in particular drift
across versions. The fix is to let the coder.com rewriter substitute the
page's resolved ref into the URL; that only works on relative links.
## Example payoff (post-DOCS-349)
| URL | Today (absolute, always `main`) | After (relative + rewriter) |
|---|---|---|
| `/docs/install/docker` |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/compose.yaml` |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/v2.34.1/compose.yaml` (today's
mainline) |
| `/docs/@v2.30.0/install/docker` | same as above |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/v2.30.0/compose.yaml` |
| `/docs/@main/install/docker` | same as above |
`https://github.com/coder/coder/blob/main/compose.yaml` |
## Scope
- **121 conversions** across **39 files**.
- Verb breakdown: `tree/main` (directories) and `blob/main` (files),
both flipped to relative paths.
- Line anchors (`#L23-L24`) and query strings preserved verbatim.
- Conversion is mechanical: relative path computed from the doc file's
directory to the target via `os.path.relpath`. Any path starting at the
same directory or below gets a `./` prefix; otherwise `../` chains.
## Rebased on main
The branch was rebased onto `main` after the DOCS-350 hotfix
([#26339](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/26339)) merged. The hotfix
repointed 3 `docs-backend-contrib-guide` refs in `backend.md` to `main`,
which then needed the same `main` -> relative conversion this PR is
doing for the other 121 links. The conflict was resolved by reapplying
the mechanical conversion to `backend.md` after taking the hotfix's
content. Net result: those 3 links land here as relative, same as
everything else. New HEAD `3f501cb622`.
## Inline fix folded in: dead `nix` link
- `docs/about/contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md:7` -> `../../../nix`
The original absolute URL `https://github.com/coder/coder/tree/main/nix`
already returned 404 today. Repointed to `flake.nix` (modern Nix
entrypoint, what the prose "Nix environment" semantically refers to).
Closes [DOCS-357](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-357) here since
the `check-docs` Linkspector job surfaced it during rebase; cheaper to
fix inline than in a separate single-line PR.
## Out of scope (filed separately)
- [DOCS-350](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-350): 3 dead
`docs-backend-contrib-guide` branch refs in `backend.md`
([#26339](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/26339), merged).
- [DOCS-352](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-352): 10 SHA-pinned
`(blob|tree)/<sha>` links pending intent review.
- [DOCS-355](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-355): code-server
analog (4 absolute `(blob|tree)/main` links in `coder/code-server`).
- [DOCS-356](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-356): 2 upstream
content bugs in `coder/code-server/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md` (independent of
this PR).
## Not triggering `/coder-agents-review`
Docs-only edit; per `AGENTS.md` the bot review is reserved for
product/CI changes.
## Pre-mortem
| Concern | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Merging before DOCS-349 deploys regresses ~120 currently-working links
into 404s on coder.com | Clear DO-NOT-MERGE banner; tracked as blocker
in Linear. |
| Relative path computed incorrectly (off-by-one `..`) | Verified all
114 newly-relative non-md/non-image paths resolve to existing files in
the repo (only exception is the pre-existing dead `nix` link above). |
| Line anchors stripped during conversion | Preserved by the
substitution regex; verified `#L<n>-L<m>` cases in `airgap.md` and
`speed-up-templates.md`. |
| Future code reorgs change file locations | Relative links will start
pointing to nothing. Same failure mode as absolute links pointing to
renamed files; can be caught with a future link-checker job. |
## Validation
```
$ grep -rE 'github\.com/coder/coder/(blob|tree)/main' docs --include="*.md" | wc -l
0
$ git diff --stat origin/main | tail -1
39 files changed, 118 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-)
```
114 newly-relative paths verified to resolve to existing repo files
(Python `os.path.exists` check on each computed target).
<details>
<summary>Decision log + planning context</summary>
**Why relative over `(blob|tree)/{{currentDocsVersion}}/...`
templating**: relative paths require zero markdown-system support and
zero upstream churn beyond this one PR. Templating would require a
preprocessor on `coder.com` side AND a convention upstream authors have
to remember; relative paths just work in a plain editor and
`github.com`'s own renderer too.
**Why `./` prefix on same-directory targets**: makes the conversion
grep-able later (`grep -E '\((\.\./|\./)'`).
**Why preserve `#L<n>-L<m>` anchors verbatim**: the anchor is meaningful
to the linked file's content, not to the URL form; keeping it as-is
preserves authorial intent. If the file later changes such that the line
range drifts, that's a different problem the SHA-pin audit
([DOCS-352](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-352)) will surface.

## Drive-by external link fix folded in
`docs/about/contributing/CONTRIBUTING.md:296` cited
`https://reflectoring.io/meaningful-commit-messages/` which is returning
HTTP 503 (the host appears to be down site-wide right now). `check-docs`
Linkspector flagged it after the rebase. Replaced with
`https://cbea.ms/git-commit/` (Chris Beams' canonical "If applied, this
commit will..." article, confirmed 200), which is the original source of
the rule the prose recites anyway.
Adds options matching new AI Gateway naming.
New options are added as alias for old options. Old options are still
working.
Old options have deprecated message.
No conflict detection was added.
Updated documentation so it mentions only new options. Added note about
old options still working.
> Various AI tools where used to create this PR
Previously AI Bridge retention was only documented in the auto-generated
CLI reference, making it difficult for administrators to discover and
understand how to configure data retention for compliance requirements.
This adds retention configuration to the AI Bridge setup guide with
examples, documents the REST API and CLI export options in the monitoring
guide, and cross-references AI Bridge from the central data retention
page for discoverability.
Closes#21038
Replace hardcoded 7-day retention for workspace agent logs with
configurable retention from deployment settings. Defaults to 7d to
preserve existing behavior.
Depends on #21038
Updates #20743
Document configurable retention policies for Audit Logs, Connection Logs,
and API keys. Add new data-retention.md page and update existing docs to
reference it.
Depends on #21021
Updates #20743
add a new section specifically about how to disable path-based apps to
the security best practices doc
