There is no single page mapping a setting to its env var, CLI flag, YAML key, and default, so searching the docs for an env var name such as `CODER_PG_CONNECTION_URL` returns nothing. This adds a generated configuration reference and begins shifting admin docs to lead with the environment-variable form. ## Changes - **Generated configuration reference** (`docs/admin/setup/configuration-reference.md`): a searchable, per-setting list of every visible deployment option. Each option is a heading (grouped and nested by serpent group) followed by its description and the environment variable, CLI flag, YAML key, and default that apply to it. Generated from `codersdk.DeploymentValues` so it stays in sync. - **Generator + `make gen` wiring** (`scripts/configdocgen/`): new binary plus a Makefile target and `GEN_FILES` entry, mirroring the existing `clidocgen` / `auditdocgen` pattern. Output is host-independent (same env normalization as `clidocgen`). - **Demo conversion** (`docs/admin/users/github-auth.md`): inverted to lead with the `/etc/coder.d/coder.env` env-var form; the CLI-flag form becomes a closing note that links to the reference. H2 slugs preserved. - **Style guide** (`.claude/docs/DOCS_STYLE_GUIDE.md`): documents the env-var-first convention for admin/setup docs. - **Navigation**: manifest entry under Administration → Setup, plus a TIP callout on the setup index. ## Risk Docs + gen pipeline only; no runtime change. The page is regenerated by `make gen`; the `gen` and `check-docs` CI checks pass. ## Follow-up Several other admin pages still lead with flag walls. Recommend sweeping them incrementally in separate PRs rather than expanding scope here. <details> <summary>Implementation notes (provenance, conflict resolution, verification)</summary> - Continues prior work by @aslilac and @bpmct from the `kayla/docs-env-vars-first` branch. Both original commits are cherry-picked here with authorship preserved. - Rebased onto current `main`. Resolved two `Makefile` conflicts where `main` had since added the `feature-stages.md` gen target at the same locations; kept both targets (union) in `GEN_FILES`, `gen/mark-fresh`, and the recipe block. - The original branch's checked-in page predated recent `codersdk.DeploymentValues` changes, so it was **regenerated** against current `main` (adds `CODER_SCIM_USE_LEGACY`, the `Networking / Cluster` section with `CODER_CLUSTER_HOST`, `CODER_BOUNDARY_LOG_RETENTION`, and the AI Gateway description rename). The `gen` CI check enforces this stays current. - Fixed flag-link anchors for short-form flags (`--config`, `--log-filter`): the generator derives the anchor from `FlagShorthand` to match `clidocgen`'s heading (e.g. `#-l---log-filter`). - `linkspector` ignores the AWS Bedrock base URL that appears as an illustrative `<region>` placeholder in an option description, consistent with the existing `openai.com` ignore patterns. </details> <details> <summary>Configuration reference layout (2026-07-08 update)</summary> Reworked the reference from a wide table into a nested, per-setting list so it fits without horizontal scrolling and stops repeating the group name in every heading: - **List, not table.** Each option renders as a heading, its description, and a bullet list of only the configuration methods that apply to it (non-applicable methods are omitted instead of shown as `-`). - **Nested sections.** Sections nest by the serpent group hierarchy, so `Email / Email Authentication` becomes `Email` (h2) with an `Email authentication` (h3) subsection instead of a redundant flat title. - **Shorter, sentence-case headings.** The redundant group prefix is stripped from each option name and the remainder is lowercased to sentence case, preserving acronyms and mixed-case tokens (`URL`, `TLS`, `OAuth2`, `GitHub`) plus a small proper-noun allowlist (`Coder`, `Terraform`, `Honeycomb`, `Anthropic`, `Bedrock`, ...). Example: `AI Gateway Send Actor Headers` becomes `Send actor headers`. - **Deprecated options** sort to the end of each section and lead with an emphasized **Deprecated** marker. Headings stay clean (no `(deprecated)` suffix) so their anchors remain stable. - **Section intros** render from a group's `Description` when the source defines one (e.g. DERP); no hand-maintained prose or links are introduced. All transformations run in pure Go at `make gen` time (no AI at generation time). Generation is idempotent, and `markdownlint` and `golangci-lint` both pass. </details> --- 🤖 Opened by Coder Agents on behalf of @nickvigilante.
