The `ComputerUseProviderTool` function needed a little bit of an
adjustment because I changed `NewComputerUseTool`'s signature in
upstream fantasy a little bit.
- Stores a deployment-wide agents template allowlist in `site_configs`
(`agents_template_allowlist`)
- Adds `GET/PUT /api/experimental/chats/config/template-allowlist`
endpoints
- Filters `list_templates`, `read_template`, and `create_workspace` chat
tools by allowlist, if defined (empty=all allowed)
- Add "Templates" admin settings tab in Agents UI ([what it looks
like](https://624de63c6aacee003aa84340-sitjilsyrr.chromatic.com/?path=/story/pages-agentspage-agentsettingspageview--template-allowlist))

create_workspace could create a replacement workspace after a single 5s
agent dial failed, even when the existing workspace agent had recently
checked in. That made temporary reachability blips look like dead
workspaces and let chatd replace a running workspace too aggressively.
Use the workspace agent's DB-backed status with the deployment's
AgentInactiveDisconnectTimeout before allowing replacement. Recently
connected and still-connecting agents now reuse the existing workspace,
while disconnected or timed-out agents still allow a new workspace. This
also threads the inactivity timeout through chatd and adds focused
coverage for the reuse and replacement branches.
Adds a `propose_plan` tool that presents a workspace markdown file as a
dedicated plan card in the agent UI.
The workflow is: the agent uses `write_file`/`edit_files` to build a
plan file (e.g. `/home/coder/PLAN.md`), then calls `propose_plan(path)`
to present it. The backend reads the file via `ReadFile` and the
frontend renders it as an expanded markdown preview card.
**Backend** (`coderd/x/chatd/chattool/proposeplan.go`): new tool
registered as root-chat-only. Validates `.md` suffix, requires an
absolute path, reads raw file content from the workspace agent. Includes
1 MiB size cap.
**Frontend** (`site/src/components/ai-elements/tool/`): dedicated
`ProposePlanTool` component with `ToolCollapsible` + `ScrollArea` +
`Response` markdown renderer, expanded by default. Custom icon
(`ClipboardListIcon`) and filename-based label.
**System prompt** (`coderd/x/chatd/prompt.go`): added `<planning>`
section guiding the agent to research → write plan file → iterate → call
`propose_plan`.
The tool descriptions pushed agents toward backgrounding anything over
5 seconds, including builds, tests, and installs where you actually
want to wait for the result. This led to unnecessary process_output
round-trips and missed the foreground timeout-to-reattach workflow
entirely.
Reframe background mode as the exception (persistent processes with
no natural exit) and foreground with an appropriate timeout as the
default. Replace "background process" with "tracked process" in
process_output, process_list, and process_signal since they work on
all tracked processes regardless of how they were started.
- Moves `coderd/chatd/`, `coderd/gitsync/`, `enterprise/coderd/chatd/`
under `x/` parent directories to signal instability
- Adds `Experimental:` glue code comments in `coderd/coderd.go`
