Coder Agents chats could get stuck showing "Thinking" forever when a
title regenerate/propose request ran while a generation was in flight.
Manual title generation recorded token cost by inserting a hidden
assistant message into `chat_messages` and immediately soft-deleting it.
Triggers on that table sync `chats.history_version` to
`snapshot_version`, so this out-of-band write broke the
`history_version` fence of an in-flight generation task, killing it
without a replacement and leaving the chat stuck in `running`.
Remove the accounting path entirely; AI Gateway already records
title-call usage in `aibridge_interceptions`/`aibridge_token_usages`.
The manual title endpoints no longer write to `chat_messages` at all,
and new regression tests assert `history_version` stays untouched. Note
this intentionally drops title-generation cost from chatd's chat-level
cost surfaces; it still counts against the user's AI budget via AI
Gateway.

## Problem
The chat UI collapses large pastes (>=10 lines or >=1000 chars) into a
synthetic `pasted-text-*.txt` attachment. A chat created with only such
an attachment had no title input anywhere: the create path derived
`titleSource` only from text and file-reference parts (so the chat was
named "New Chat"), async auto-titling extracted text the same way and
silently skipped generation, and the manual propose/regenerate paths
returned an empty title for the same reason. The regular prompt path
already inlines these files for the model; only the title paths were
blind.
## Fix
Add a single title-input derivation in `chatprompt` and use it
everywhere:
- `chatprompt.TitleText` joins text and file-reference parts (unchanged
formatting), and falls back to synthetic pasted-text attachment content
(truncated to a 16 KiB title budget) when they yield nothing.
- `chatprompt.SyntheticPasteFileIDs` identifies paste attachments;
`chatprompt.FallbackTitle` consolidates the previously duplicated
`chatTitleFromMessage` / `fallbackChatTitle`.
- Chat creation captures paste blob references while validating file
parts (the file row was already loaded there) and derives `titleSource`
via `TitleText`. Only the create path derives titles; message send and
edit reuse the same validation without copying any blob data.
- `GenerateChatTitleAsync` and the manual propose/regenerate paths
resolve paste content via `titlePasteText`, which only queries when a
visible user message has no other title text, so chats with typed text
never incur a file fetch.
- Title-path paste fetches are bounded: a new
`GetChatFileDataPrefixesByIDs` query returns only a `substr` prefix
(`chatprompt.TitlePasteBytePrefix`, 64 KiB = 4 bytes x the 16 Ki-rune
title budget) so full blobs (up to 10 MiB each) never leave the database
for titling, and `chatprompt.TitlePasteText` applies the same bound to
the create path which already holds the loaded row.
Deliberate side effect: because generation-time extraction now matches
create-time `titleSource` exactly, file-reference-only chats also become
eligible for AI titles. They were previously skipped by the same
derivation mismatch.
Non-goals: no frontend changes (attachment chip UX stays as is), and
non-synthetic user-uploaded `.txt` files still yield "New Chat".
## Testing
- Unit tests for `TitleText`, `TitlePasteText`, `SyntheticPasteFileIDs`,
`FallbackTitle`, `titleInput`, `titlePasteText`, and paste-aware
`extractManualTitleTurns`.
- Real-database test for `GetChatFileDataPrefixesByIDs` (prefix shorter
and longer than stored data) plus dbauthz coverage for the new query.
- Integration tests: paste-only create gets a fallback title from the
paste content, async title generation fires with the paste content as
input, and `RegenerateChatTitle` works on a paste-only chat.

This PR removes the now-dead direct-routing code:
- Deletes the direct routing implementation.
- Collapses the resolvedModelRoute discriminated union into aiGatewayModelRoute.
- Removes the dead providerKeys cascade.
- Deletes the preferredShortTextCandidates quickgen function.
- Simplifies the advisor override error handling.
- Deprecates the AIGatewayRoutingEnabled deployment option. It is now a no-op so as to not break existing deployments on upgrade.
Once direct routing was gone, the AI Gateway became mandatory for chat, which surfaced gaps in how the product behaves with the gateway disabled:
- Exposes ai-gateway-enabled to the frontend via embedded page metadata.
- Disables the chat composer via the existing AgentSetupNotice when the gateway is disabled, for both new and existing chats.
- Fixes nil/typed-nil chatDaemon panics on startup and shutdown when gateway is disabled.
- Fixes chat WebSocket from retrying the still-gated stream endpoint forever when the gateway is disabled.
The provider type already lives authoritatively in ai_providers.type,
reachable on every active row through ai_provider_id, which the
chat_model_configs_ai_provider_required_when_active CHECK makes
mandatory. The stored provider string was a denormalized copy the system
kept in sync with a startup backfill and no longer needs.
Every surface now derives provider type from the linked ai_providers
row. Telemetry is the one exception: it keeps emitting provider, now
sourced from ai_providers.type via a JOIN, so the BigQuery column and the
Nexus dashboards that read it are unaffected. The experimental HTTP/SDK
response drops provider and makes ai_provider_id required, since those
endpoints return only active configs; consumers resolve provider type
from ai_provider_id and the AI providers listing.
This ships in a single release with no compatibility window: production
reads the table via SELECT *, so a pre-drop binary fails config reads the
moment the column is gone. Operators must scale to zero before upgrading,
and there is no rollback.

fix(coderd/x/chatd): bind goInflight contexts to server lifetime
- Add Server.inflightContext: WithoutCancel(reqCtx) bound to p.ctx via
context.AfterFunc, so Close cancels in-flight work instead of blocking
on the caller's timeout while a provider is unreachable.
- Apply at GenerateChatTitleAsync, finalizeSuccessfulTurnStatusLabelWithAfterFunc,
setLastTurnSummaryAsync, clearLastTurnSummaryAsync, and scheduleDebugCleanup.
- Honor cleanupCtx in the debug retry-delay timer so cancellation lands

## Overview
Bumps `charm.land/fantasy` to the head of `coder_2_33`
(`v0.0.0-20260617050554-2e3ddbca75dd`) and adapts `chatd` to it.
The fantasy bump:
- Syncs upstream `charmbracelet/fantasy` main (v0.31.0) into
`coder_2_33` (coder/fantasy#42).
- Mirrors the request region when prefixing cross-region inference
profiles, so a legacy (un-qualified) Bedrock model ID is prefixed for
the same region the request is actually signed for.
Pulling in the new fantasy version propagates its required transitive
dependency upgrades (aws-sdk-go-v2, OpenTelemetry, google genai,
`golang.org/x/*`, etc.) through MVS, which accounts for the bulk of the
`go.mod`/`go.sum` churn.
## chatd changes
- Thread a per-provider `Region` through `ConfiguredProvider` and
`ProviderAPIKeys` (`RegionByProvider`), and merge/prune/resolve it
alongside API keys and base URLs.
- Source the Bedrock region from AI provider settings in `chatd` and
pass `fantasybedrock.WithRegion` when a region is configured.
- Migrate the runtime Bedrock title-generation model ID to a
fully-qualified `global.anthropic.*` ID.
- Emit a `finish_reason` in the test OpenAI streaming server so streams
close on a terminal event, matching fantasy's fail-closed stream
handling.
## Heads-up: most of this is short-lived
Almost all of the `chatd` code in this PR only executes on the **direct
(non-gateway) routing path** — the branch taken when
`AIGatewayRoutingEnabled` is `false`. That flag was a transition crutch
for AI Gateway routing, and it (plus the entire direct path /
`x/chatd/chatprovider` package that backs it) is slated for removal in
CODAGT-598. Under AI Gateway routing — which is the path every
deployment is expected to run — the Bedrock region is resolved by
aibridge directly from provider settings (`cli/aibridged.go` builds
`aibridge.AWSBedrockConfig{Region: settings.Bedrock.Region}`), so none
of the region plumbing added here is reached.
Concretely, expect the following to be deleted alongside the direct
path:
- The `RegionByProvider` map, the `Region()` accessor, and the region
preservation in merge/resolve plus the region pruning in
`PruneDisabledProviderKeys` (`chatprovider.go`).
- The `fantasybedrock.WithRegion(region)` branch in `ModelFromConfig` —
only reachable on the direct path; the gateway path builds a
`fantasyanthropic` client with no region key.
- Reading `settings.Bedrock.Region` in `aiProviderConfigFromKeys`
(`chatd.go`).
- The region-specific tests in `chatprovider_test.go`, and the
`chattest`/`model_coverage` adjustments that support direct-path
testing.
What survives the cleanup (independent of routing):
- The `charm.land/fantasy` bump and its `go.mod`/`go.sum` transitive
churn.
- The fully-qualified `global.anthropic.*` Bedrock title-generation
model ID in `quickgen.go` (a runtime-valid model identifier, not
direct-path-specific).
We're landing the full change anyway so the direct path stays correct
for the remaining transition window; just don't be surprised when
CODAGT-598 reclaims most of it.
## Notes
Depends on coder/fantasy `coder_2_33` already containing the upstream
sync and Bedrock region fix (merged via coder/fantasy#42 and
coder/fantasy#43).
Using `WaitGroup.Go` must be synchronized with `WaitGroup.Wait`
according to [go docs](https://pkg.go.dev/sync#WaitGroup.Go):
> If the WaitGroup is empty, Go must happen before a
[WaitGroup.Wait](https://pkg.go.dev/sync#WaitGroup.Wait).
There were a couple of places in chatd that violated this principle.
This was caught as a data race in
https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1599. This PR ensures that all
functions that spawn inflight goroutines synchronize with each other.
I also noticed that inflight goroutines may be spawned after the server
is closed, which was surprising and looked like a bug. This PR therefore
also introduces a mechanism that disallows spawning inflight goroutines
after the server is closed, and ensures that any code that tries doing
it logs an error.
Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1599.
## Summary
Routes chatd model calls backed by concrete AI Provider rows through the
in-process aibridge transport by default, with deployment options to use
direct provider routing when AI Gateway is disabled or chat AI Gateway
routing is disabled.
- Splits model routing into common, direct provider, and AI Gateway
paths behind a single deployment-mode entry point.
- Builds chatd models through explicit request, route, and options data.
Active API key attribution is passed explicitly instead of being hidden
inside generic model construction.
- For AI Gateway BYOK routes, resolves the user's provider key in chatd,
forwards it through provider-specific auth headers, and sets
`X-Coder-AI-Governance-Token` to the `delegated` marker so aibridge
preserves those headers while still stripping Coder-specific metadata.
- Keeps central provider credentials and deployment fallback credentials
out of forwarded provider auth headers, so AI Gateway central policy
remains authoritative.
- Redacts delegated provider auth from default string formatting to
avoid accidental plaintext logging of user BYOK credentials.
- Covers selected chat models, advisor overrides, title and quickgen
paths, subagent overrides, computer use model selection, and an
integration-style chat turn through the aibridge transport path.
- Persists initiating API key IDs on chat and queued user messages,
including subagent child messages, and fails closed for AI
Gateway-routed model builds without an active key.
- Removes unused `api_key_id` indexes while keeping the persistence
columns and foreign keys.
- Keeps the deployment option available through config and env parsing,
but hides it from CLI help and generated docs.
- Stabilizes the subagent poll fallback test so background CreateChat
processing cannot win the state transition under slower CI environments.

Changes chat turn-end summaries into compact status labels for the
cached `last_turn_summary` and successful web push body.
Uses a structured-output model call for successful turns, requiring a
2-5 word `label` and validating it to reject agent-centric phrasing.
Pending and requires-action states keep deterministic status labels.
Removes the earlier deterministic tool-signal pipeline in favor of the
smaller structured-output path.
The async title-generation and turn-summary goroutines launched from
processChat run autocommit UPDATEs on the chat row after finishActiveChat
has set the chat to pending and signalWake has fired. If the row lock
from one of those UPDATEs is held while acquireLoop's processOnce runs,
AcquireChats's FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED skips the freshly-pending chat and
returns no rows. The wake is then consumed with no acquisition, and the
chat sits in pending until the next acquireTicker (default 1s).
Wake again after each UPDATE commits. The second wake covers the race
window without changing the transaction semantics.
Closescoder/internal#1500
Persists the agent-generated turn-end summary on `chats` and shows it as
the Agents sidebar subtitle when present, falling back to the model
name. Errors still take precedence.
> Mux is acting on Mike's behalf.
## What changes
**Storage.** New nullable `last_turn_summary` column on `chats`
(migration `000486`). New `UpdateChatLastTurnSummary` query normalizes
blank/whitespace input to `NULL`, preserves `updated_at` (so the chat
does not jump to the top of the sidebar on summary writes), and uses an
`expected_updated_at` stale-write guard so an older async summary cannot
overwrite a newer turn.
**Backend.** `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` decouples summary generation from
webpush. Generated summaries persist for completed parent turns even
when webpush is unconfigured or has no subscriptions. The same generated
text is reused as the webpush body when webpush is configured, so the
summary model is not called twice. Generic fallback push text is no
longer persisted; it clears any stale summary instead.
Error/interrupt/pending-action terminal paths clear `last_turn_summary`
for the latest turn.
**Frontend.** `AgentsSidebar.tsx` subtitle priority is now `errorReason
|| lastTurnSummary || modelName`, normalized via the existing
`asNonEmptyString` helper from `blockUtils.ts`.
## Tests
- `TestUpdateChatLastTurnSummary` (database): success,
whitespace-to-NULL, stale guard rejects, `updated_at` preserved.
- `TestUpdateLastTurnSummaryRejectsStaleWrites` (chatd internal): direct
stale-`expected_updated_at` test.
- `TestSuccessfulChatPersistsTurnSummaryWithoutWebPush`: persistence
works without webpush subscriptions.
- `TestSuccessfulChatSendsWebPushWithSummary`: same generated text
drives both DB and push body.
-
`TestSuccessfulChatSendsWebPushFallbackWithoutSummaryForEmptyAssistantText`:
fallback text is not persisted.
- `TestErroredChatClearsLastTurnSummaryAndSendsWebPush`: error path
clears the field.
- `TestInterruptChatDoesNotSendWebPushNotification`: interrupt path
clears the field, no push fires.
- `AgentsSidebar.test.tsx`: subtitle priority for summary-present,
error-wins, no-summary fallback, whitespace fallback.
- `AgentsSidebar.stories.tsx`: `ChatWithTurnSummary` and
`ChatWithTurnSummaryAndError`.
## Notes
- No backfill. Existing chats keep showing the model name until their
next turn completes.
- Parent chats only in this iteration; the field is rendered on any
`Chat` if a future change extends generation to children.
- Decoupling generation from webpush adds quickgen model calls for
completed parent turns that previously skipped generation when no
subscriptions existed. Existing parent-only, assistant-text-present,
`PushSummaryModel` configured, and bounded-timeout gates keep this
behavior bounded.
Adds an admin-configurable deployment-wide setting that controls which
model is used for chat title generation. Admins can pick any enabled
chat model config from the Agents settings page, or leave the setting
unset to keep the existing fast-models-then-chat-model fallback
algorithm.
When a model is selected, both automatic and manual title generation use
only that model, with no silent fallback. When the configured model is
disabled, missing credentials, or otherwise unusable, automatic title
generation skips entirely (best-effort) and manual title regeneration
returns a clear error, so admins notice the misconfiguration instead of
silently routing title traffic through another provider.
## Surface
- New deployment-wide setting stored as a `site_configs` row
(`agents_chat_title_generation_model_override`).
- New experimental endpoint `GET/PUT
/api/experimental/chats/config/model-override/{context}`.
- Frontend: title generation now appears as a third dropdown on the
Agents admin settings page alongside the existing general and explore
context overrides.
## DRY refactors folded in
Title generation is integrated as a third value of the existing
`ChatModelOverrideContext` type alongside `general` and `explore`,
sharing the parameterized HTTP route, SDK methods, generated types, and
frontend API plumbing rather than introducing a parallel surface. The
`Agent` prefix was dropped from the type and route since title
generation is not a delegated agent.
The chatd model-override resolver is also shared.
`resolveConfiguredModelOverride` now takes a `failureMode` parameter:
- Subagent overrides use soft failure: misconfigured overrides are
logged and the parent model is used.
- Title generation uses hard failure: misconfigured overrides return an
explicit error so manual title regeneration surfaces the
misconfiguration and automatic title generation skips instead of
silently falling back.
> Mux is acting on Mike's behalf.
Chat title generation used free-form text completion, which let models
respond conversationally instead of producing a title. Review chats
started with GitHub URLs were especially affected — models would say "I
don't have the ability to browse external links" and that string became
the persisted title.
Replace the raw-text `generateShortText` path with structured output via
`object.Generate[generatedTitle]`. Both auto-title and manual retitle
now go through the same typed contract: the model must return a JSON
object with a `title` field, validated and normalized before
persistence. Invalid outputs (empty, too long) are rejected and retried
through the existing candidate-model fallback loop.
Short prompts were producing title-generation meta responses such as "I
am a title generator" and prompt-echo titles. This rewrites the
automatic and manual title prompts to be shorter, less self-referential,
and more focused on returning only the title text.
The change also removes the broader post-generation guard layer, updates
manual regeneration to send real conversation text instead of a meta
instruction, and keeps regression coverage focused on the slimmer prompt
contract.
## Summary
Adds a "Generate new title" action that lets users manually regenerate a
chat's title using richer conversation context than the automatic
first-message title path.
## Changes
### Backend
- **New endpoint:** `POST
/api/experimental/chats/{chatID}/title/regenerate` returns the updated
Chat with a regenerated title
- **Manual title algorithm:** Extracts useful user/assistant text turns
→ selects first user turn + last 3 turns → builds context with gap
markers → renders prompt with anti-recency guidance → calls lightweight
model → normalizes output
- **Helpers:** `extractManualTitleTurns`,
`selectManualTitleTurnIndexes`, `buildManualTitleContext`,
`renderManualTitlePrompt`, `generateManualTitle` — all private, with the
public `Server.RegenerateChatTitle` method
- **SDK:** `ExperimentalClient.RegenerateChatTitle(ctx, chatID) (Chat,
error)`
- Persists title via existing `UpdateChatByID` and broadcasts
`ChatEventKindTitleChange`
### Frontend
- API client method + React Query mutation with cache invalidation
- "Generate new title" menu item (with wand icon) in both TopBar and
Sidebar dropdown menus
- Loading/disabled state while regeneration is in-flight
- Error toast on failure
- Stories updated for both menus
### Tests
- `quickgen_test.go`: Table-driven tests for all 4 helper functions
(turn extraction, index selection, context building, prompt rendering)
- `exp_chats_test.go`: Handler tests (ChatNotFound,
NotFoundForDifferentUser, NoDaemon)
## Design notes
- The existing auto-title path (`maybeGenerateChatTitle`, `titleInput`)
is completely unchanged
- Manual regeneration uses richer context (first user turn + last 3
turns + gap markers) vs the auto path's single first message
- Endpoint is experimental and marked with `@x-apidocgen {"skip": true}`
- Add `X-Coder-Owner-Id`, `X-Coder-Chat-Id`, `X-Coder-Subchat-Id`,
`X-Coder-Workspace-Id` headers to all outgoing LLM API requests from
chatd
- Extend `ModelFromConfig` with `extraHeaders` param, forwarded via
Fantasy `WithHeaders` on all 8 providers
- Add `CoderHeaders(database.Chat)` helper to build the header map from
chat state
- Update all 4 `ModelFromConfig` call sites (resolveChatModel,
computer-use override, title gen, push summary)
- Thread `database.Chat` into `generatePushSummary` (was `chatTitle
string`)
- Tests: `TestCoderHeaders` (4 subtests),
`TestModelFromConfig_ExtraHeaders` (OpenAI + Anthropic),
`TestModelFromConfig_NilExtraHeaders`
- Refactor existing `TestModelFromConfig_UserAgent` to use channel-based
signaling
