feat: make CLI/API doc generators emit front-matter metadata (Phase 2) (#27246)
## Summary
Phase 2 of the H1 → front-matter migration (`DOCS-483`; parent
`DOCS-477`). Makes the two reference-doc generators emit per-page
metadata as YAML front matter instead of a leading `# H1`, so generated
pages are self-describing and `make gen` stops reverting migrated pages
(Phase 3).
Phase 1 (`DOCS-482`) made the coder.com renderers prefer a front-matter
`title` (manifest fallback).
> [!NOTE]
> Rebased onto `main` and fully regenerated, and updated across two
rounds of Coder Agents Review — see **Review follow-ups** below.
## Changes
- **`scripts/clidocgen/command.tpl` + `gen.go` + `main.go`** — front
matter now carries `title` (from `fullName`) and `description` (from the
command's `Short`), and the leading `# H1` is dropped. The CLI index
page's front matter is taken from the manifest `Command Line` route
(title/description/icon_path).
- **`scripts/apidocgen/postprocess/main.go`** — reads the manifest and,
at write time, injects front matter carrying each section's `title` plus
any curated `description`, `state`, and `icon_path`. The API index
page's front matter is taken from the manifest `REST API` route.
- **`scripts/docgenenv`** (new shared code) — one `YAMLScalar`
front-matter escaper, one `Route`/`Manifest` schema +
`LoadManifest`/`FindRoute`, and one `FrontMatter(Route)` emitter, all
imported by both generators (no duplicated helpers, types, or emitters).
- Regenerated all **166 CLI + 31 API** reference pages.
### Metadata → front matter, and what stays in the manifest
Every *per-page* manifest field is mirrored into the page's front
matter: `title`, `description`, `state`, `icon_path`. The **structural**
fields stay in `manifest.json`:
- `children` — the nav tree (explicitly out of scope).
- `path` — the manifest's pointer to the file; a page carrying its own
path is redundant/error-prone, so it's treated like `children`.
The fields are **duplicated** into front matter and **`manifest.json` is
left unchanged**, so this is a **no-op for rendering today** (coder.com
strips front matter for `llms`, and Algolia + the renderer read only
`title`). Removing the fields from the manifest is the natural
follow-up, gated on the renderer reading them from front matter first.
### Why the API side changes the postprocessor, not the `.dot` templates
The issue text suggested editing
`scripts/apidocgen/markdown-template/*`. I deliberately did **not**,
because the postprocessor derives each page's **filename, section title,
and manifest route** from the leading `# {name}` line
(`extractSectionName`). Emitting front matter from the template would
break that extraction. Instead the widdershins templates still emit `#
{name}`, the postprocessor reads it (and now verifies it), and then
swaps the heading for a front-matter block as each section is written.
## Review follow-ups (Coder Agents Review)
### Round 1 — addressed in `e53d5e03` (all threads resolved)
- **CRF-1 / CRF-4** — de-duplicated the escaper and the
`route`/`manifest` schema + traversal into `scripts/docgenenv` (shared
by both generators).
- **CRF-2** — `YAMLScalar` now quotes YAML-reserved scalars
(`true/false/null/…`, numbers); no current value is affected.
- **CRF-3** — added unit tests: a `YAMLScalar` round-trip, `FindRoute`,
and `prependFrontMatter`.
- **CRF-5** — the CLI and API **index** pages now mirror their manifest
route's title/description/icon_path instead of a hardcoded
`coder`/`API`, fixing a rendered-heading regression (`REST API`/`Command
Line` were being overwritten).
- **CRF-6** — dropped the dead `#login` anchor in
`docs/support/support-bundle.md` (the migrated `login.md` no longer
mints that heading anchor).
- **CRF-7 / CRF-8 / CRF-11** — renamed to `prependFrontMatter`, switched
to `bytes.Cut`, and it now strips the first line only when it is the `#
{name}` heading (`extractSectionName` errors otherwise).
- **CRF-9** — removed the orphan `docs/reference/api/chat.md` (not in
the manifest, not linked; the real page is `chats.md`).
- **CRF-10** — the metadata read and the manifest rewrite now share one
`FindRoute` traversal.
- **CRF-13** — moot under squash-merge; this branch is a single
scopeless commit.
- **CRF-15** — the pre-existing `sort.Slice`/`slices.IsSorted`
comparator is left as-is per the review (out of scope; safe today
because section names are unique).
### Round 2 — addressed in `ee796e7107` (all threads resolved)
- **CRF-16** (P1) — removed three em-dashes from new doc comments (the
only `make lint` failure on the prior head); the emdash gate is green.
- **CRF-17 / CRF-18** — unified front-matter emission into one shared
`docgenenv.FrontMatter(Route)`, used by the API postprocessor directly
and by `command.tpl` via a `frontMatter` template func. This retires the
hand-written template YAML and the
`indexTitle`/`indexDescription`/`indexIconPath` closures, so a new
front-matter field is wired in one place, and it gives the CLI index the
`state` arm it previously lacked. Verified byte-identical: a full CLI +
API regen produces zero page changes.
- **CRF-19** — CLI child sort switched to `slices.SortFunc` +
`cmp.Compare` (typed comparator).
- **CRF-20** — reworded the `prependFrontMatter` comment:
`extractSectionName`'s fail-fast is the load-bearing guard; the prefix
check is a defensive backstop.
- **CRF-21** — added `icon_path`/`state` coverage in `docgenenv`'s
`TestFrontMatter/AllFields` (the branch the index page relies on,
previously at 0%).
- **CRF-22** — `YAMLScalar` no longer emits a trailing-space value as a
bare scalar (YAML strips it on read, so it would not round-trip); added
test coverage.
- **CRF-24** — the shared emitter removed the duplicated `cliIndexRoute`
doc comment; the rationale now lives in one place.
- **CRF-23** (Phase 3, out of scope here) — noted: the API generator
wipes and regenerates `reference/api/` from the manifest, so removing
curated metadata from the manifest in Phase 3 needs another source first
(a generator that preserves existing front matter, or metadata carried
alongside the swagger annotations).
- **Process (Mafu-san)** — the verification set below now leads with
`make lint`, the mandatory CI gate that the earlier list omitted.
## Cross-repo dependency
**Resolved — this PR no longer has a hard merge-ordering gate** (CRF-14
was right; the earlier "must merge after #968" note was stale).
The coder.com surfaces that would otherwise leak raw front matter from
`coder/coder` `main` are already front-matter-aware on merged PRs:
- **coder.com#964** (`DOCS-554`, llms-full.txt corpus + Algolia) —
**merged**.
- **coder.com#974** (`DOCS-574`, the `.md` proxy twin + `llms.txt` index
titles) — **merged**.
coder.com#968 (`DOCS-577`) was re-scoped to only the renderer
route-metadata generalization; it's a no-op on today's corpus and its
own description confirms the "deploy before the generators" constraint
no longer applies (that was driven by the llms corpus, now in #964).
Worth a final confirmation that #964/#974 are **deployed** before merge,
but there's no branch/PR ordering blocker left.
## Verification & evidence
AI was the primary author of this PR (see disclosure below); per the [AI
Contribution
Guidelines](https://coder.com/docs/about/contributing/AI_CONTRIBUTING)
here is manual verification.
- `make lint` (golangci-lint + the emdash gate) passes; `go build` / `go
vet` / `go test` are clean for the generators + `scripts/docgenenv`;
`pnpm check-docs` passes.
- `swagger.json`, `docs.go`, and `manifest.json` are **unchanged** —
metadata is duplicated into front matter; command/section names and
routes did not move.
- The diff is purely additive front matter
(`title`/`description`/`state`/`icon_path`) + the leading H1 removal; no
body reflow. A full CLI + API regen produces **zero** page changes
beyond the two index pages.

feat: cli: add support for supplying ephemeral parameters at workspace creation (#26012)
Resolves the issue of `--prompt-ephemeral-parameters` and `--ephemeral-parameter` not being available for use in the `coder create` workspace creation command (they are only available in `coder start` command). Back when they were [added originally](https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/15030) it seems to have been an oversight that they were left out. The problem this solves: ``` coder create --parameter my_ephemeral_parameter=foo error: prepare build: ephemeral parameter "my_ephemeral_parameter" can be used only with --prompt-ephemeral-parameters or --ephemeral-parameter flag ``` ``` coder create my-test-ws -t general --ephemeral-parameter my_ephemeral_parameter=foo parsing flags ([create my-test-ws -t general --ephemeral-parameter my_ephemeral_parameter=foo]) for "coder create": unknown flag: --ephemeral-parameter ``` Tested on a template with the following: ``` data "coder_parameter" "my_ephemeral_parameter" { name = "my_ephemeral_parameter" type = "bool" description = "true or false?" mutable = true default = false ephemeral = true } resource "coder_env" "debug_ephemeral" { agent_id = coder_agent.main.id name = "EPHEMERAL_TEST" value = data.coder_parameter.my_ephemeral_parameter.value } ``` By running: ``` ➜ coder git:(rowan/coder-create-5495) ✗ go run cmd/coder/main.go create --ephemeral-parameter my_ephemeral_parameter=true > Specify a name for your workspace: ws4 Select a template below to preview the provisioned infrastructure: ? kasmvnc-ubuntu-coder-dev used by 1 active developer Select a preset below: ? Small (2 CPU / 4 GB) .... ... The ws4 workspace has been created at Jun 3 12:36:38! ➜ coder git:(rowan/coder-create-5495) ✗ coder ssh ws4 workspace-ws4-5d6994756f-qlwnl% echo $EPHEMERAL_TEST true workspace-ws4-5d6994756f-qlwnl% exit ``` |

fix: honor parameter defaults in --use-parameter-defaults and SSH auto-start (#24591)
## Problem
The CLI does not honor `default` values on template parameters in two
ways:
1. **`--use-parameter-defaults` rejects empty-string defaults.** The
check `parameterValue != ""` means `default = ""` in Terraform falls
through to an interactive prompt. In CI this causes an EOF error.
2. **`--use-parameter-defaults` only exists on `coder create`.** The
`start`, `update`, and `restart` commands never wire it through. SSH
auto-start passes empty `workspaceParameterFlags{}`, so users SSH-ing
into a stopped workspace with new template parameters get stuck in an
interactive prompt they cannot complete.
## Fix
### 1. Fix empty-string default detection and expose flag on all
commands
Replace `parameterValue != ""` with a check based on `!tvp.Required`. A
parameter with `Required==false` always has a valid default in
Terraform, even if that default is `""`. Also respect CLI defaults
provided via `--parameter-default`.
Move `--use-parameter-defaults` from a standalone option on `create`
into the shared `workspaceParameterFlags` struct. This exposes the flag
(and `CODER_WORKSPACE_USE_PARAMETER_DEFAULTS`) on `start`, `update`, and
`restart` via `allOptions()`. Wire it through
`buildWorkspaceStartRequest` so the resolver receives it.
### 2. SSH auto-start always uses defaults
Set `useParameterDefaults: true` on both `startWorkspace` calls in the
SSH auto-start path (initial start and the forbidden/upgrade fallback).
SSH is non-interactive and should never prompt.
Fixes https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DEVEX-180
Fixes https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/22272
<details><summary>Implementation notes</summary>
### Scoping decisions
- **`--yes` does not imply `--use-parameter-defaults`**: Making `--yes`
auto-accept defaults exposes a validation gap in the dynamic parameter
path (client-side validation happens during prompting, and skipping
prompts bypasses it). This is deferred to a follow-up that also
addresses `codersdk.ValidateWorkspaceBuildParameter` integration in the
resolver. Tracked in PLAT-114.
- **Explicit overrides always win**: `--parameter`,
`--rich-parameter-file`, and `--preset` are resolved in stages 1-5 of
the resolver, before `resolveWithInput` runs. No change needed for
precedence.
- **`!tvp.Required` vs `parameterValue != ""`**: The `Required` field is
set by the Terraform provider based on whether a `default` is present.
This is the canonical signal for "has a default," not the string value
itself.

feat(cli): add --no-wait flag to coder create (#22867)
Adds a `--no-wait` flag (CODER_CREATE_NO_WAIT) to the create command, matching the existing pattern in `coder start`. When set, the `coder create` command returns immediately after the workspace creation API call succeeds instead of streaming build logs until completion. This enables fire-and-forget workspace creation in CI/automation contexts (e.g., GitHub Actions), where waiting for the build to finish is unnecessary. Combined with other existing flags, users can create a workspace with no interactivity, assuming the user is already authenticated. |
