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.

## Problem
The Generate button in the chat Rename dialog (POST
`/api/experimental/chats/{chat}/title/propose`) could fail in ways
unrelated to actual concurrent title generation:
- The manual title lock returned 409 for any `pending` chat and any
`running` chat without a worker. Legacy `pending` rows are never
acquired by workers, so those chats 409'd forever. Running chats are
unowned in the normal window between message submission and worker
acquisition (indefinitely when runners are down), producing spurious
409s.
- A missing default chat model config surfaced as a generic 500, and the
dialog hid the actionable cause carried in the error detail.
## Fix
Backend (`coderd/x/chatd`, `coderd`, `coderd/database`):
- Remove the manual title lock entirely. Races between title writers are
already resolved by `recordManualTitleUsage`, which re-reads the chat
under `GetChatByIDForUpdate` and only persists the generated title when
it is unchanged since the request snapshot, so concurrent regenerates
and renames settle by last write wins. The lock only suppressed
duplicate model calls (the dialog already disables the button in flight,
and usage limits bound spend), and its synthetic `worker_id` marker was
the source of the spurious 409s. The 409 responses, the marker and
staleness handling, and the now-unused
`UpdateChatStatusPreserveUpdatedAt` query are gone.
- New `ErrNoDefaultChatModelConfig` sentinel mapped to 400 "No default
chat model config is configured." in both title endpoints, matching the
POST `/chats` precedent.
Frontend (`site`):
- The Rename dialog error alert now renders the API error detail under
the message, reading `error.response.data.detail` directly so
detail-less API errors do not show the generic developer-console hint.
- Removed the dead regenerate-title UI plumbing (`onRegenerateTitle`
outlet wiring and the `regeneratingTitleChatIds` spinner pipeline). The
Rename dialog propose flow is the only live title-generation UX; the
endpoint, codersdk methods, and the `api.ts`/`queries/chats.ts` layer
are kept for API consumers.
## Tests
- chatd internal: a strict-mock test pinning the compare-and-swap guard
(a concurrently changed title must not be clobbered by a generated one),
plus the existing persist-and-broadcast coverage without lock
transactions.
- HTTP: `PendingWithoutWorker` expects 200 for both endpoints,
`NoDefaultModelConfig` (400) subtests, a stopped-workspace propose
regression, and an `Unauthenticated` propose subtest.
- Storybook: stories asserting the API error detail renders in the
dialog alert, and that detail-less API errors and plain errors do not
leak the developer-console hint.

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.
Closes CODAGT-599
OpenAI-compatible chat paths hit two provider compatibility issues. Some
compatible endpoints reject a named `tool_choice` when there is only one
tool, and Gemini's OpenAI-compatible endpoint requires thought
signatures on current-turn tool calls.
Centralize OpenAI-compatible request patches in the chat provider:
rewrite single named tool choices to `"required"`, and add the
documented dummy Google thought signature to the first tool call in each
current-turn tool step for Gemini routes. Vercel OpenAI-compatible
requests are left unchanged for the thought-signature patch.

## 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.

My agent added `//nolint:testpackage` to a test file on one of my PRs.
Again. This PR cleans it up across the entire repo and updates the
in-repo conventions so future agents stop doing it.
The repo already has a precedent for white-box tests that need to touch
unexported symbols: `*_internal_test.go` (145+ existing files). The
`testpackage` linter's default `skip-regexp` exempts that filename
suffix, so the `//nolint:testpackage` directive is unnecessary in every
case where someone reached for it. This PR renames 51 such files to
`*_internal_test.go` via `git mv` so blame and history follow, and
strips the dead directive from 2 files that were already correctly named
(`coderd/oauth2provider/authorize_internal_test.go`,
`coderd/x/chatd/advisor_internal_test.go`).
`.claude/docs/TESTING.md` now documents the rule explicitly under *Test
Package Naming*, which is imported into the root `AGENTS.md` via
`@.claude/docs/TESTING.md`. The rule: prefer `package foo_test`; if you
need internal access, rename the file to `*_internal_test.go` rather
than adding a nolint directive.
