Nick Vigilante 0a7bb80a1e 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.

CLI `description` from the command's `Short` (`YAMLScalar` quotes when
needed, e.g. a `Short` with a colon):

```md

Bobby Ho b169f4d8cb feat: expose external auth token expiry in agent API and CLI (#26883)
Previously, \`ExternalAuthResponse\` contained no expiry information, so
workspace agents and git credential helpers had no way to know when a
cached token would stop being valid. Every git operation had to call
back to coderd via \`GIT_ASKPASS\` to get a fresh token, adding 1-2
seconds of latency.

This PR surfaces \`OAuthExpiry\` from the database as \`ExpiresAt\` in
\`ExternalAuthResponse\`, allowing agents to cache tokens with correct
eviction timing (compatible with \`git-credential-cache --timeout\` and
\`password_expiry_utc\` introduced in git 2.34).

\`ExpiresAt\` is normalized to UTC before JSON encoding to avoid
sub-minute precision loss that occurs when the PostgreSQL driver applies
historical Local Mean Time (LMT) timezone offsets to year-1 AD
timestamps.

The \`coder external-auth access-token\` CLI command gains \`--output
json\` to print the full response including \`ExpiresAt\`, enabling
scripts to consume the expiry without parsing heuristics.

Closes https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/26036

## Manual Test

<details>
<summary>Setup</summary>

1. Create a GitHub OAuth app at https://github.com/settings/developers
with:
   - Homepage URL: `http://127.0.0.1:3000`
- Authorization callback URL:
`http://127.0.0.1:3000/external-auth/github/callback`

2. Start the dev server with the GitHub provider configured:
   ```sh
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_ID=github CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_TYPE=github
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret> ./scripts/develop.sh
   ```

3. Log in at `http://127.0.0.1:3000` (use `127.0.0.1`, not `localhost`,
so the OAuth state cookie domain matches the callback URL).

4. Go to Account > External Authentication and click **Connect** next to
GitHub. Complete the OAuth flow.

5. Create a workspace and SSH into it:
   ```sh
   coder create test-workspace
   coder ssh test-workspace
   ```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Flow 1: Token is valid — JSON output includes
<code>expires_at</code></summary>

Inside the workspace, run:

```sh
coder external-auth access-token github --output json
echo "Exit code: $?"
```

Expected output (GitHub tokens have no expiry, so \`expires_at\` is the
zero value):

```json
{
  "access_token": "<redacted>",
  "token_extra": null,
  "url": "",
  "type": "github",
  "expires_at": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "username": "<redacted>",
  "password": ""
}
```

```
Exit code: 0
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Flow 2: Token missing — JSON output includes auth URL, exit
code 1</summary>

Disconnect GitHub in the Coder UI (Account > External Authentication >
Disconnect), then inside the workspace run:

```sh
coder external-auth access-token github --output json
echo "Exit code: $?"
```

Expected output:

```json
{
  "access_token": "",
  "token_extra": null,
  "url": "http://127.0.0.1:3000/external-auth/github",
  "type": "",
  "expires_at": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "username": "",
  "password": ""
}
```

```
Exit code: 1
```

Michael Suchacz e5707a13d6 feat: support multiple agents with shared instance-identity auth (#24325)
> This PR was authored by Mux on behalf of Mike.

## Summary

Adds support for multiple peer root workspace agents sharing the same
`auth_instance_id`, so AWS, Azure, and GCP instance-identity auth can
issue the correct session token for a selected agent instead of assuming
a
single root agent per instance.

## Problem

When a Terraform template attaches two or more `coder_agent` resources
(with `auth = "aws-instance-identity"`) to a single compute instance,
every agent shares the same cloud instance ID. The existing singular
lookup picks whichever agent was created most recently, silently
ignoring
the others.

## Solution

Introduce an optional pre-auth agent selector (`CODER_AGENT_NAME`) and
make the server-side lookup ambiguity-aware.

**Database layer:**
- `GetWorkspaceAgentsByInstanceID` (`:many`): returns all matching root
  agents for an instance ID.
- `GetWorkspaceAgentByInstanceIDAndName` (`:one`): returns the named
root
  agent for disambiguation.

**SDK and CLI:**
- `agent_name` field added to AWS, Azure, and GCP request structs
  (`omitempty` for backward compatibility).
- `CODER_AGENT_NAME` env var and `--agent-name` flag wired into the
agent
  bootstrap before instance-identity auth runs.

**Server handler (`handleAuthInstanceID`):**
- When `agent_name` is present: direct lookup by (instance ID, name).
- When absent: legacy lookup, then resource-scoped ambiguity check.
  Returns 409 with available agent names if multiple root agents match.
- Whitespace-only names are trimmed and treated as unspecified.
- Sub-agents remain excluded (`parent_id IS NULL` filter).

**Verification template:**
- `examples/templates/aws-multi-agent/` provisions one EC2 instance with
  two agents (`main` and `dev`), both using instance-identity auth with
  `CODER_AGENT_NAME` set in the cloud-init user data.

## Backward compatibility

Existing single-agent deployments work unchanged. The `agent_name` field
is optional with `omitempty`, and the unnamed path preserves today's
behavior when only one root agent matches.

Spike Curtis 1354d84eb4 chore: refactor instance identity to be a SessionTokenProvider (#19566)
Refactors Agent instance identity to be a SessionTokenProvider.

Refactors the CLI to create Agent clients via a centralized function, rather than add-hoc via individual command handlers and their flags.

This allows commands besides `coder agent`, but which still use the agent identity, to support instance identity authentication.

Fixes #19111 by unifying all API requests to go thru the SessionTokenProvider for auth credentials.
