Kyle Carberry cd56ab9e33 refactor: remove legacy live-read and injected-history chat context paths (#26585)
This PR makes the agent-pushed pinned snapshot
(`chat_context_resources`) the sole source of workspace context for
chats, completing the "Release 5" cleanup. It removes legacy mechanisms
now superseded by the snapshot that agents push over dRPC
(`PushContextState`) and refresh via `chat-context/refresh`.

Removed:

- **Live-read at turn time.** MCP tool discovery, skill live-body reads,
and the instruction/skill history fallback that dialed the workspace on
every turn.
- **Context injected as message history.** The
`persist_workspace_context` generation action and its decision-loop
guard.
- **The legacy write path.** `POST`/`DELETE
/api/v2/workspaceagents/me/experimental/chat-context`, the agentsdk
`AddChatContext`/`ClearChatContext` methods, and the CLI one-shot
writer.
- **The `chats.last_injected_context` column** and all of its plumbing
(migration `000529`, queries, `db2sdk`, `dbauthz`, audit table, and the
frontend `ContextUsageIndicator` fallback).

Subagent context inheritance no longer copies parent context messages;
children now hydrate the parent's pinned `chat_context_resources` on
create, which yields an identical pin for the same workspace and agent.

What stays (still served by the live agent connection, not the
snapshot): `read_skill_file` supporting-file reads, `read_skill`
supporting-file listing, and MCP tool execution.

> [!NOTE]
> Migration `000529` drops `chats.last_injected_context` and recreates
the `chats_expanded` view without it. The down migration restores both.

<details>
<summary>Decision log (D1-D5)</summary>

- **D1 (subagent inheritance):** Re-point inheritance from the legacy
message copy to a pinned hydrate. Children call
`hydrateChatContextOnCreate` instead of copying parent context messages.
- **D2 (`persist_workspace_context`):** Remove the generation action
entirely along with the decision-loop guard it existed to satisfy, since
context is never injected into history anymore.
- **D3 (legacy HTTP + CLI):** Remove the experimental `chat-context`
POST/DELETE endpoints, the agentsdk methods, and the CLI one-shot. The
dRPC push + `chat-context/refresh` replace them.
- **D4 (frontend fallback):** Remove the `last_injected_context`
fallback in `ContextUsageIndicator`; pinned `resources` are the sole
source.
- **D5 (sequencing):** Ship as a single PR rather than a stacked pair.

Kyle Carberry 966dd89537 feat: add chat context source CLI and agent-token refresh (#26577)
Adds the `coder exp chat context` CLI for managing workspace context
sources, plus the agent-token refresh endpoint the in-workspace refresh
relies on. Part of breaking the "Workspace Context Sources for Coder
Agents" RFC (#26466) into small, reviewable PRs.

## What this adds

**CLI (`coder exp chat context`)**, talking to the agent's local IPC
socket from inside the workspace:

- `list` lists the registered scan roots (built-in defaults are not
shown).
- `show <path>` shows a source and the resources the agent resolves from
it, including failures.
- `add <path>` registers a path as an additional context source. With
`--chat`, it keeps the legacy one-shot behavior (read context from the
path once and inject it into a single chat).
- `remove <path>` unregisters a source.
- `refresh [<chat>]` re-pins chat context to the agent's latest
snapshot.

**Agent-token refresh path** for the no-argument `refresh`:

- `refresh <chat>` uses the existing user-facing
`ExperimentalClient.RefreshChatContext` (already on main) and works from
anywhere.
- `refresh` with no argument runs inside the workspace: it re-resolves
the agent's sources over the context socket (catching freshly-cloned
repos and startup-script writes), then asks the agent, authenticating
with its own token, to re-pin every drifted chat. No `coder login`
required.
- This adds `agentsdk.RefreshChatContext` and `POST
/api/v2/workspaceagents/me/experimental/chat-context/refresh`
(`workspaceAgentRefreshChatContext`), mirroring the existing clear
endpoint's agent-token auth model.

## Testing

- `go test ./cli` (`TestExpChatContextAdd`, `TestParseChatID`,
`TestResolveContextSourcePath`)
- `go test ./coderd/x/chatd -run TestChatContextRefreshFromAgentToken`
(end-to-end: echo-provisioned agent pushes a snapshot, drifts a bound
chat, the agent-token refresh re-pins it, and an agent-less chat stays
untouched)
- `go build ./...`, `go vet`, `golangci-lint`, `make gen` (no generated
changes; experimental commands are excluded from CLI golden/doc
generation)

<summary>Design notes</summary>

This is **Split 4** of #26466. Split sequence:

1. #26558 - prompt pin consumption (merged)
2. #26570 - `codersdk` context resource types (merged)
3. #26573 - the context indicator UI (merged)
4. **This PR** - the CLI + agent-token refresh.
5. The context diff (`changes`, `ChatContextResourceChange`, the changes
dialog, `buildContentPatch`) - last.

Key points:

- The agent-local context subsystem (`agent/agentsocket` IPC for source
CRUD, snapshot, resync), the user-facing
`ExperimentalClient.RefreshChatContext`, and the per-chat
`chatd.RefreshChatContext` all already exist on main, so this split is
the CLI surface plus the small agent-token refresh endpoint that fans
out per-chat refresh across an agent's drifted chats.
- `add <path>` resolves relative paths to absolute before handing them
to the agent (which requires canonical paths) but preserves a leading
`~` for the agent to expand against its own home.
`TestResolveContextSourcePath` covers this.
- The agent endpoint is annotated `@x-apidocgen {"skip": true}`,
matching the other agent-token chat-context endpoints.
- No diff/changes rendering is involved; that lands in the final split.
