Previously, `chats.last_model_config_id` was not updated when a user
sent a mid-chat message with a different model, and queued messages did
not store their own per-turn model, so promotion ran against whatever
the chat row said at promote time. Chat watch events also did not merge
`last_model_config_id` into the site's root, child, and per-chat
caches, so sidebar labels stayed stale after direct sends and queued
promotions.
- Add nullable `chat_queued_messages.model_config_id`, backfilled from
`chats.last_model_config_id`. Queued inserts round-trip the effective
model id at enqueue time.
- In `coderd/x/chatd`, direct sends update `chats.last_model_config_id`
inside the same transaction that inserts the admitted user message.
Manual promotion and auto-promotion use the queued row's stored
`model_config_id`, with a fallback to `chats.last_model_config_id`
for legacy NULL rows during rollout.
`PromoteQueuedOptions.ModelConfigID`
is now ignored.
- On the site, extract `mergeWatchedChatSummary` and
`mergeWatchedChatIntoCaches` in `site/src/api/queries/chats.ts` so
status-change watch events merge `last_model_config_id` into the
root infinite chat list, the parent-embedded child entry, and the
per-chat `chatKey(chatId)` cache. `updated_at` guards against stale
watch payloads clobbering newer cached state, while diff status
events still merge their PR metadata because they are timestamped
outside the chat row. Watch timestamps are compared as instants so
variable fractional precision does not make fresh events look stale.
- Queued promotion validates stored model config IDs before admission.
Invalid legacy queued IDs fall back to the chat's current model config
instead of dropping the queued message during auto-promotion.
- Backend and frontend regression coverage added for admission, queue
promotion (including FIFO across mixed models, legacy NULL fallback,
and invalid queued model IDs), and chat watch cache merging.

Adds a deployment-wide admin override for general delegated subagents.
## What changed
- store the general override in `site_configs` and expose it through the
shared `agent-model-override/{context}` API
- apply the general override when spawning delegated general subagents,
while preserving the existing Explore override behavior
- reuse a shared Agents settings form for the general and Explore
override sections
## Validation
- `make gen`
- `go test ./coderd -run 'TestChatModelOverrides'`
- `go test ./coderd/x/chatd -run
'TestSpawnAgent_(GeneralUsesConfiguredModelOverride|GeneralOverrideLogsAndFallsBackWhenCredentialsUnavailable|GeneralOverrideLogsAndFallsBackWhenProviderDisabled)'`
- `pnpm -C site lint:types`
- `pnpm -C site test:storybook --
AgentSettingsAgentsPageView.stories.tsx`
- `make lint`
- `make pre-commit`
> Mux is acting on Mike's behalf.
The UI already prevents child (delegated/subagent) chats from being
pinned, but the `PATCH /api/experimental/chats/{chat}` endpoint did not
enforce this. A direct API call could pin a child chat.
- Add a `400 Bad Request` guard in `patchChat` when `pinOrder > 0` and
the chat has a `ParentChatID`
- Add `TestChatPinOrder/RejectsChildChat` test

The agents-access role previously granted chat permissions at user
scope, but chats are org-scoped objects. Rego skips user-level perms
when org_owner is set, making the grants invisible. Handler-level
band-aids used synthetic non-org-scoped objects as a workaround.
- Migrates agents-access from users.rbac_roles (site-level) to
organization_members.roles (org-scoped) via DB migration
- Redefines agents-access as a predefined org-scoped builtin role
alongside organization-admin, organization-auditor, etc., with
Member permissions granting chat create/read/update
- Excludes ResourceChat from OrgMemberPermissions so org membership
alone no longer grants chat access
- Fixes handler Authorize checks to use org-scoped objects with
semantically correct actions (ActionUpdate for message/tool operations)
- Grants org admins the ability to assign agents-access

Archived chats accept mutations (messages, edits, queued-message
promotions, tool-result submissions) via the API, causing them to
re-enter the processing pipeline. This violates the hard-stop
design intent from PR #23758.
Add archived checks at three layers:
- HTTP handlers (postChatMessages, patchChatMessage,
promoteChatQueuedMessage, postChatToolResults): return 400
after auth so callers get a clear error.
- Daemon functions (SendMessage, EditMessage, PromoteQueued,
SubmitToolResults): return ErrChatArchived after row lock,
guarding against future callers that bypass the handler.
- AcquireChats SQL: filter out archived chats so they are never
acquired for processing.

The Ctrl+D diff drawer in `coder exp agents` only rendered PR-backed
diffs returned by `/api/experimental/chats/{id}/diff`. Local working
tree changes in a chat's workspace returned an empty diff, so the
drawer showed "No diff contents" with no file summary.
Centralise diff loading behind a single `fetchChatDiffContents` helper
that first hits `/diff`, then falls back to the chat git watcher
WebSocket (`/stream/git`) when the remote diff is empty. Aggregate the
agent's `WorkspaceAgentRepoChanges` into a `ChatDiffContents` value so
the drawer can derive the file summary and styled body from the local
unified diff. Missing workspaces, missing agents, and watcher timeouts
are treated as graceful fallbacks that render the empty-diff
placeholder instead of a hard error.

Adds AWS Bedrock ambient credential support to the Agents provider path.
Bedrock providers can now be saved without a stored API key and
authenticated via the standard AWS SDK credential chain on the Coder
server (IAM roles, `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, etc.). Also fixes missing `Base
URL` forwarding for Bedrock.
## Changes
**Backend runtime** (`coderd/x/chatd/chatprovider/chatprovider.go`):
- New `ProviderAllowsAmbientCredentials(provider)` helper. Currently
returns true only for Bedrock.
- `ModelFromConfig` no longer errors on an empty API key when the
provider is in the ambient-allowed set AND was explicitly resolved via
`ByProvider`. This preserves the policy gate: unresolvable providers
(disabled central key, user-key-required without a user key) still
error.
- `setResolvedProviderAPIKey` internalizes the ambient-credentials
contract via `ProviderAllowsAmbientCredentials`, so a
resolved-but-keyless Bedrock provider is represented as an empty
`ByProvider` entry rather than a post-hoc sentinel patch in the caller.
- `WithAPIKey` is only appended when a token is present.
- `WithBaseURL(baseURL)` is now forwarded for Bedrock (was previously
missing).
**Backend admin API** (`coderd/exp_chats.go`):
- `validateChatProviderCentralAPIKey` exempts Bedrock from requiring a
stored API key when central credentials are enabled.
- AI Gateway separation (`ChatProviderAPIKeysFromDeploymentValues`) is
unchanged. No silent reuse of `CODER_AIBRIDGE_BEDROCK_*` flags.
**Frontend**
(`site/src/pages/AgentsPage/components/ChatModelAdminPanel/*`):
- API Key field is optional for Bedrock when central credentials are
enabled.
- Bedrock-specific descriptions on API Key and Base URL fields
(bearer-token vs ambient modes, `AWS_REGION` guidance).
- Right-aligned "Clear stored token" action switches an existing Bedrock
provider back to ambient mode.
- `hasEffectiveAPIKey` treats Bedrock with central credentials enabled
as configured, so the provider list shows the correct status icon.
- Three new stories: `ProviderFormBedrockAmbientCredentials`,
`ProviderFormBedrockBearerToken`, `ProviderFormBedrockClearBearerToken`.
**Docs** (`docs/ai-coder/agents/models.md`,
`docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/setup.md`):
- New "Configuring AWS Bedrock" section covering both credential modes,
region resolution, and the Base URL override.
- Explicit note that the `us-east-1` region fallback only applies to
bearer-token mode; ambient credentials require a region from the
standard AWS SDK chain.
- Cross-reference in AI Gateway docs clarifying that
`CODER_AIBRIDGE_BEDROCK_*` flags are a separate configuration path from
Agents.
## Not in scope
- Reusing AI Gateway Bedrock flags as an implicit Agents fallback.
- Per-provider AWS access key, secret, or region fields (would need a
migration and audit-table review).
- IMDS or network-backed credential probes in admin/listing request
paths.

Dogfood deployment integration:

Renders the durable file attachments introduced in #24280 in the chat
interface. Without this, attachments were stored and served correctly
but the UI showed raw file parts with no previews or download UX.
Every attachment gets a download affordance, split into three rendering
tiers:
- **Images** — thumbnail with a hover/focus overlay containing a
download link. `onFocusCapture`/`onBlurCapture` with
`contains(relatedTarget)` keeps the overlay open while tabbing between
the image and its download link.
- **Text-like files** (`text/*`, `application/json`) — expandable
preview button with loading + error-with-retry states and the same
download overlay. Preview fetches throw a typed
`FetchTextAttachmentError` with a `.status` field instead of a
stringly-typed error.
- **Everything else** — compact `FileCard` with extension badge,
filename, and download link.
User-side and assistant-side rendering now share `AttachmentBlocks.tsx`
(`AttachmentPreviewFrame`, `TextAttachmentButton`,
`ImageAttachmentButton`, `FileCard`, plus
`getAttachmentHref`/`getAttachmentName`) instead of two near-duplicate
implementations. The text-attachment overlay anchors to the preview
surface so the download button stays pinned even when a loading/error
status line widens the row below.
`ComputerRenderer` detects when a screenshot was stored as a durable
attachment (`attachment_file_id`) and suppresses the stale base64
rendering — the screenshot appears as a proper file part instead.
`ToolLabel` shows the attached filename for `attach_file` tool calls.
Storybook coverage in `ConversationTimeline.stories.tsx` was expanded to
cover every tier (single/multiple images, inline + file-id text, JSON,
download-only files, fetch-failure retry, mixed attachments + file
references) with play-function assertions.

## Cleanup
Per Mathias' post-merge suggestion on #24280, this PR also relocates
`coderd/chatfiles` → `coderd/x/chatfiles` so the durable-attachment
helpers live beside the rest of the `chatd` experimental surface.
Closes CODAGT-91
Drop the `chat_model_configs.provider -> chat_providers.provider`
foreign key and soft-delete model configs when their provider is
removed. The provider row is now hard-deleted inside a transaction that
also tombstones its model configs and promotes a replacement default
when needed.
Historical chats and messages keep pointing at the soft-deleted model
config rows, which are hidden from live/admin queries but still resolve
for read. The runtime chat path already falls back to the default model
config when a soft-deleted config is looked up.
Replaces the lost FK validation in the create/update model-config
handlers with an explicit provider lookup that returns the existing
`Chat provider is not configured.` 400.
## UX
**Admin deleting a chat provider that has historical usage**
- Before: blocked with 400 `Provider models are still referenced by
existing chats.` Admins had no in-product way to remove a provider that
had ever been used.
- After: delete succeeds (204). Any model configs under that provider
are soft-deleted. If the removed provider owned the default model
config, one of the remaining live configs is auto-promoted to the new
default. The promotion is deterministic (`ensureDefaultChatModelConfig`
picks the first live config by `provider ASC, model ASC, updated_at
DESC, id DESC`); there is no picker, and no toast or response detail
names which config became the new default.
**End users with chats that used a deleted provider's model**
- Old chats still open and their history still renders unchanged.
- Sending a new turn in such a chat silently falls back to the current
default model. No banner or warning tells the user the original model is
gone.
- The model picker no longer lists the deleted model.
- If no default model config exists at all after the delete, sending a
new turn fails with `no default chat model config is available`.
**Admin creating or updating a model config against a provider that is
not configured**
- Same as before: 400 `Chat provider is not configured.` Only the
detection mechanism changed (explicit `FOR UPDATE` lookup inside the
transaction, which also serializes against a concurrent provider
delete).
**Admin updating a model config whose row disappears mid-transaction**
- Now returns the standard 404 `Resource not found or you do not have
access to this resource` instead of the previous 500 that leaked `sql:
no rows in result set` in the detail. Unrelated internal races (for
example a race on the promoted default candidate) are still reported as
500 so they are not misclassified as "your target is gone".
Closes CODAGT-23
When the chat `start_workspace` tool triggers an active-version upgrade
that introduces new required parameters, the build fails with a
parameter validation error. Previously this returned a message telling
the user to update from the UI — a dead end for the model.
This PR lets the model recover inside the chat by:
1. Accepting an optional `parameters` map on `start_workspace` (same
schema as `create_workspace`), forwarded as `RichParameterValues`.
2. Returning structured JSON error responses that preserve validation
details and the workspace's `template_id`, so the model can call
`read_template` to discover what changed.
3. Replacing the UI-only guidance in `exp_chats.go` with
model-actionable retry instructions.
The expected model flow on an active-version parameter failure is now:
```
start_workspace → fails (structured error with template_id + validations)
read_template → discovers new required parameters
start_workspace → retries with parameters map → workspace starts
```

`watchChatGit` proxies a live websocket to the workspace agent's git
watcher (`/api/v0/git/watch`), streaming repository diffs back through
the chat stream. Before this change it only enforced `chat:read` (via
`ExtractChatParam`) plus an implicit `workspace:read` from the dbauthz
wrapper on `GetWorkspaceAgentsInLatestBuildByWorkspaceID`. The sibling
`watchChatDesktop` handler already fetches the workspace and requires
`policy.ActionApplicationConnect` or `policy.ActionSSH` before dialing.
Built-in roles like **Template Admin** and **Org Admin** grant
`workspace:read` without SSH/ApplicationConnect, and **Owner** also
loses both under `DisableOwnerWorkspaceExec`. A chat owner whose
exec-level workspace access was revoked *after* the chat was bound could
therefore keep streaming repository content from the workspace agent
through the chat's git-watch endpoint.
Mirror `watchChatDesktop`: fetch the workspace and require
`ApplicationConnect || SSH` before any agent-tunnel activity. Adds one
real-coderdtest regression test (`TestWatchChatGitAuthz`) that demotes
the chat's owner to template-admin after binding and asserts the
git-watch endpoint returns 403; the mock-based `TestWatchChatGit` in
`coderd/workspaceagents_internal_test.go` continues to cover the
no-workspace / disconnected-agent / websocket-proxy paths.
Fixes CODAGT-184.
GetChats now returns only root chats (parent_chat_id IS NULL).
A new GetChildChatsByParentIDs query fetches children for visible
roots and embeds them in each parent's Children field. The
singular getChat endpoint does the same.
Archive invariant is one-way: parent archived implies child
archived. Parent archive/unarchive cascades via root_chat_id.
Individual child archive is permitted; child unarchive while the
parent is archived is rejected atomically (row lock on child,
re-read parent inside the transaction). Embedded children are
filtered by the caller's archive state so individually-archived
children stay hidden from active-parent views.
Gitsync MarkStale uses GetChatsByWorkspaceIDs directly;
MarkStaleParams.OwnerID removed (dead after the switch).
Frontend: buildChatTree reads from the embedded children field,
WebSocket handlers route child events into the parent's children
array, and archiving a child strips it from the parent cache.
Agents can already see workspace files and take screenshots, but users could not download those artifacts from chat. This PR adds durable chat attachments to chatd. `attach_file`, explicit `computer` screenshot actions (not the automatic post-action screenshots), and `propose_plan` now fetch bytes over the agent connection, store them in `chat_files`, link them to the chat, and carry attachment metadata in tool responses so `buildAssistantPartsForPersist` can materialize ordinary `type:"file"` assistant parts that the chat file APIs serve.
The same storage helpers are reused for other artifact-producing paths. `wait_agent` recordings and thumbnails are stored as chat files and linked back to the parent chat, with best-effort relinking so parent chats retain those artifacts without leaving orphaned rows when chat-file caps reject links. `storeChatAttachment` wraps insert + link in one transaction, files are capped at 10 MB each and 20 per chat, and serving defaults to `Content-Disposition: attachment` with an explicit inline-safe allowlist.
This PR also consolidates chat-file media policy in `coderd/chatfiles`. Uploads and tool-generated attachments share byte-based MIME detection, SVG blocking, inline-safety rules, and compatible `text/plain` refinement for JSON, CSV, and Markdown. Prompt construction still only inlines synthetic pasted text for model consumption; assistant-created attachments are persisted for the user and intentionally not replayed into later LLM turns.
UI follow-up lives in #24281.

Introduce Explore mode, a read-only subagent modality for delegated
discovery and code investigation.
## What
Adds a `spawn_explore_agent` tool that creates child chats restricted to
read-only operations. An admin can optionally configure a
deployment-wide
model override so Explore subagents use a model optimized for large
context
or reasoning without changing the root chat's model.
### Backend
- New `ChatModeExplore` enum value (migration 000471).
- `spawn_explore_agent` tool definition with read-only allowlist:
`read_file`, `execute`, `process_output`, `read_skill`,
`read_skill_file`.
Write tools, file editors, and nested subagent spawning are blocked.
- Deployment config storage for the Explore model override
(`agents_chat_explore_model_override` in `site_configs`).
- Model resolution hierarchy: configured override, then current turn
model,
then global default. Silent fallback with warning log when the override
becomes unavailable.
- RBAC: `AsChatd` for daemon reads, `ActionRead` and `ActionUpdate` on
`ResourceDeploymentConfig` for admin API calls.
- Plan mode root chats can use `spawn_explore_agent` for read-only
research,
matching the planning prompt guidance.
- The Explore override config API now reports malformed saved overrides
as
"treated as unset" so admins can clear them explicitly.
### Frontend
- `ExploreModelOverrideSettings` component in admin agent behavior
settings.
Uses `ModelSelector`, handles unavailable model warnings, and supports
explicit Save and Clear actions.
- Malformed saved overrides show a warning and require an explicit Save
to
clear, instead of Clear auto-submitting behind the scenes.
### Tests
- Integration: `TestExploreSubagentIsReadOnly` (full spawn flow, tool
verification, prompt overlay, DB state).
- Unit: tool allowlist tests for explore, plan, and default modes.
- Internal: model override resolution with valid, invalid UUID,
disabled, and
unconfigured override scenarios.
- RBAC: `dbauthz_test.go` for `GetChatExploreModelOverride` and
`UpsertChatExploreModelOverride`.
- API: admin set and clear, malformed stored override reporting,
disabled
model rejection, non-admin denial.
## Problem
When a template has `require_active_version` enabled and the chat agent
tries to start a workspace that is stopped on an older template version,
the agent gets stuck in an infinite loop: `start_workspace` fails with a
403 (the old version is not the active version and the user lacks
`ActionUpdate` on the template), then `create_workspace` sees the
existing stopped workspace and tells the agent to use `start_workspace`,
repeat forever.
The root cause is that `chatStartWorkspace()` passes the start build
request through without setting `TemplateVersionID`, so `wsbuilder`
defaults to the previous build's template version — which RBAC rejects
when `RequireActiveVersion` is true.
## Fix
In `chatStartWorkspace()` (`coderd/exp_chats.go`), when the template's
access control has `RequireActiveVersion` enabled, explicitly set
`req.TemplateVersionID` to `template.ActiveVersionID` before calling
`postWorkspaceBuildsInternal()`. This mirrors how the autobuild executor
handles the same scenario (`coderd/autobuild/lifecycle_executor.go`).
If the new active version introduces required parameters that cannot be
resolved automatically (no defaults, no previous values), the build
fails at parameter validation before a provisioner job is created. In
that case, a clear error message tells the user to update and start the
workspace from the UI instead of surfacing a raw internal error.
On successful auto-update, the tool response includes
`updated_to_active_version`, `update_reason`, and a human-readable
`message` so the model can explain to the user what happened.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/289430d6-066e-41cf-bc97-cd013dcf717d"
/>
### Changes
- **`coderd/exp_chats.go`**: `chatStartWorkspace()` loads the template,
checks `RequireActiveVersion` via `AccessControlStore`, and pins the
build to the active version when required. New
`isChatStartWorkspaceManualUpdateRequiredError()` classifies parameter
validation failures from both the dynamic parameters path
(`DiagnosticError`) and the classic path (`ErrParameterValidation`
sentinel).
- **`coderd/wsbuilder/wsbuilder.go`**: New `ErrParameterValidation`
sentinel error, wrapped into the classic parameter validation
`BuildError` so callers can use `errors.Is` instead of string matching.
- **`coderd/x/chatd/chattool/startworkspace.go`**:
`waitForAgentAndRespond` now returns `map[string]any` instead of
`fantasy.ToolResponse`, letting the caller annotate the result (e.g.
auto-update metadata) before converting. Error handling for `StartFn`
checks for `httperror.Responder` errors to surface clean messages for
the manual-update case.
- **`coderd/x/chatd/chattool/startworkspace_test.go`**: Two new tests —
`StoppedWorkspaceReportsAutoUpdate` (verifies auto-update fields in
response) and `ManualUpdateRequired` (verifies clean error message
without internal wrapping).
### Follow-up
The manual-update error message could include a direct link to the
workspace settings page, but the chattool layer does not currently have
access to the deployment's access URL. Plumbing it through is
straightforward but out of scope for this fix.
Closes CODAGT-192
Add a `chat_client_type` enum (`ui` | `api`) and `client_type` column to
the `chats` table. The column defaults to `api` for new rows so API
callers don't need to set it explicitly. Existing rows are backfilled to
`ui`.
The field flows through `CreateChatRequest`, `chatd.CreateOptions`,
`InsertChat`, and is returned in the `Chat` response via `db2sdk`.
<details>
<summary>Implementation notes (Coder Agents generated)</summary>
### Changes
**Database migration (000469)**
- New enum `chat_client_type` with values `ui`, `api`.
- New `client_type` column, `NOT NULL DEFAULT 'api'`.
- Backfill: `UPDATE chats SET client_type = 'ui'`.
**SQL query** — `InsertChat` now includes `client_type`.
**SDK** — `ChatClientType` type added; `ClientType` field added to both
`CreateChatRequest` (optional, defaults server-side to `api`) and `Chat`
response.
**Handler** — `postChats` maps the request field (defaulting to `api`)
and passes it through `chatd.CreateOptions`.
**Sub-agent** — Child chats inherit their parent's `client_type`.
**db2sdk** — Maps the database value to the SDK type.
### Decision log
- Default is `api` (not `ui`) so existing API integrations get the
correct value without code changes.
- Backfill sets existing rows to `ui` per requirement.
- Child chats inherit `client_type` from parent rather than defaulting.

## Summary
- add persistent plan mode for chats and the chat-specific plan file
flow
- add structured planning tools such as `ask_user_question` and
`propose_plan`
- keep `write_file` and `edit_files` constrained to the chat-specific
plan file during plan turns
- allow shell exploration in plan mode, including subagents, via
`execute` and `process_output`
- block implementation-oriented, provider-native, MCP, dynamic, and
computer-use tools during plan turns
- update the chat UI, tests, and docs for the new planning flow
This change reuses the authenticated subject's existing organization
membership information during chat creation instead of issuing an
`OrganizationMembers` query.
The current query is still correct, so this is not required for
correctness. However, `workspaceapps` already answers the same question
more cheaply from the request's RBAC subject. This extracts that logic
into `rbac.Subject.HasOrganizationMembership` and reuses it in both
places, removing an extra database lookup from chat creation without
changing the authorization behavior.
I'm currently debugging a Coder agents scaletest regression where a run
on April 2, 2026 with 4800 concurrent chat creations passed, while the
same run on April 15, 2026 does not. We could stagger chat creation to
reduce the burst, but I'd rather understand why this bottleneck appeared
in the first place so we can keep making small hot-path improvements
like this one instead of only smoothing over the symptom.
Three SQL queries (`GetUserGroupSpendLimit`,
`ResolveUserChatSpendLimit`, `GetUserChatSpendInPeriod`) aggregated chat
spend limits and usage globally across all organizations. A restrictive
group limit in org A would bleed into org B.
## Changes
- Add `organization_id` parameter to all three SQL queries in
`coderd/database/queries/chats.sql`
- When nil UUID is passed, queries fall back to global behavior
(backward compat for HTTP dashboard endpoints)
- When real org ID is passed, limits and spend are scoped to that
organization
- Thread `organizationID` through `ResolveUsageLimitStatus` →
`checkUsageLimit` → all chatd call sites
- Update dbauthz wrappers for new param structs
- HTTP endpoints (`chatCostSummary`, `getMyChatUsageLimitStatus`) pass
`uuid.Nil` with TODO for future org-scoped UI
- Add `TestResolveUsageLimitStatus_OrgScoped` with 5 test cases covering
org isolation, nil-UUID fallback, spend scoping, and user override
priority

The GetChats SQL query ordered by (updated_at, id) DESC with no
pin_order awareness. A pinned chat with an old updated_at could
land on page 2+ and be invisible in the sidebar's Pinned section.
Add a 4-column ORDER BY: pinned-first flag DESC, negated pin_order
DESC, updated_at DESC, id DESC. The negation trick keeps all sort
columns DESC so the cursor tuple < comparison still works. Update

The "By model" and "Pull requests" tables on the PR Insights page
(`/agents/settings/insights`) were side-by-side at `lg` breakpoints, and
the Pull requests table was hard-capped at 20 rows by the backend.
- Replaced `lg:grid-cols-2` with a single-column stacked layout so both
tables span the full content width.
- Removed the `LIMIT 20` from the `GetPRInsightsRecentPRs` SQL query so
all PRs in the selected time range are returned.
- Can add this back if we need it. If we do, we should add a little
subheader above this table to indicate that we're not showing all PRs

- Added client-side pagination to the Pull requests table using
`PaginationWidgetBase` (page size 10), matching the existing pattern in

- Renamed the section heading from "Recent" to "Pull requests" since it
now shows the full set for the time range.

Adds client-executed dynamic tools to the chat API. Dynamic tools are
declared by the client at chat creation time, presented to the LLM
alongside built-in tools, but executed by the client rather than chatd.
This enables external systems (Slack bots, IDE extensions, Discord bots,
CI/CD integrations) to plug custom tools into the LLM chat loop without
modifying chatd's built-in tool set.
Modeled after OpenAI's Assistants API: the chat pauses with
`requires_action` status when the LLM calls a dynamic tool, the client
POSTs results back via `POST /chats/{id}/tool-results`, and the chat
resumes.
See [this example](https://github.com/coder/coder-slackbot-poc) as a
reference for how this is used. It's highly-configurable, which would
enable creating chats from webhooks, periodically polling, or running as
a Slackbot.
<details>
<summary>Design context</summary>
### Architecture
The chatloop **exits** when it encounters dynamic tools and
**re-enters** when results arrive. No blocking channels, no pubsub for
tool results, no in-memory registry. The DB is the only coordination
mechanism.

Phase 1 (chatloop):
LLM response → execute built-in tools only →
Persist(assistant + built-in results) →
status = requires_action → chatloop exits
Phase 2 (POST /tool-results):
Persist(dynamic tool results) →
status = pending → wakeCh → chatloop re-enters
```
### Validation (POST /tool-results)
1. Chat status must be `requires_action` (409 if not)
2. Read chat's `dynamic_tools` → set of dynamic tool names
3. Read last assistant message → extract tool-call parts matching
dynamic tool names
4. Submitted tool_call_ids must match exactly (400 for missing/extra)
5. Persist tool-result message parts, set status to `pending`, signal
wake
### Idempotency
Tool call IDs scoped per LLM step. State machine (`requires_action` →
`pending`) is the guard. First POST wins, subsequent get 409.
### Mixed tool calls
When the LLM calls both built-in and dynamic tools in one step, built-in
tools execute immediately. Their results are persisted in phase 1.
Dynamic tool results arrive via POST in phase 2. The LLM sees all
results when the chatloop resumes.

The backend (`chatd.go`) already fully implements both `"queue"` and
`"interrupt"` busy behaviors for `SendMessage`, and the `message_agent`
subagent tool already leverages both internally. However the HTTP API
hardcoded `"queue"` and the SDK had no way for callers to request
interrupt-on-send.
This adds a `ChatBusyBehavior` enum type to the SDK and an optional
`busy_behavior` field on `CreateChatMessageRequest`. The HTTP handler
validates the field and passes it through to `chatd.SendMessage`.
Default remains `"queue"` for full backward compatibility.
<details><summary>Implementation notes</summary>
- `codersdk/chats.go`: New `ChatBusyBehavior` type with
`ChatBusyBehaviorQueue` and `ChatBusyBehaviorInterrupt` constants. Added
`BusyBehavior` field to `CreateChatMessageRequest` with `enums` tag for
codegen.
- `coderd/exp_chats.go`: `postChatMessages` now reads
`req.BusyBehavior`, maps SDK constants to
`chatd.SendMessageBusyBehavior*`, returns 400 on invalid values.
- `site/src/api/typesGenerated.ts`: Auto-generated via `make gen`.
- No frontend behavior changes — the field is available but unused by

Adds a `system_prompt` field to `CreateChatRequest` that allows API
consumers to provide custom instructions when creating a chat. The
per-chat prompt is stored as a separate system message (`role=system`,
`visibility=model`) in the `chat_messages` table, inserted between the
deployment system prompt and the workspace awareness message.
Also moves deployment system prompt resolution from the HTTP handler
(`resolvedChatSystemPrompt`) into `chatd.CreateChat` where it belongs.
The handler no longer assembles system prompts —
`CreateOptions.SystemPrompt` is now purely the per-chat user prompt, and
the deployment prompt is resolved internally by chatd.
No database schema changes required.
**Message insertion order:**
1. Deployment system prompt (resolved by chatd, existing)
2. Per-chat user system prompt (new, from `CreateOptions.SystemPrompt`)
3. Workspace awareness (existing)
4. Initial user message (existing)

## Problem
Subagent chats were receiving git context (branch, remote origin, PR
status) from their parent or sibling chats' git operations. When a git
operation triggers external auth, the workspace agent sends `chat_id`
identifying which chat initiated it — but this was broken at two levels:
1. **Agent side:** `CODER_CHAT_ID` was never injected into process
environments. `chatd` sets `Coder-Chat-Id` HTTP headers and the
agent extracts them for process isolation, but never propagated
`CODER_CHAT_ID` to `cmd.Env`. So `gitaskpass` always sent an empty
`chat_id`.
2. **Server side:** `workspaceAgentsExternalAuth` ignored the `chat_id`
query param. `MarkStale` broadcast git context to **all** chats on
the workspace via `filterChatsByWorkspaceID`.
## Fix
- Inject `CODER_CHAT_ID` into `cmd.Env` in `agentproc` when the chat
ID is known, so `gitaskpass` can read and forward it.
- Read `chat_id` from query params in `workspaceAgentsExternalAuth`
and thread it through `chatGitRef`.
- Refactor `MarkStale` to accept a `MarkStaleParams` struct. When
`ChatID` is provided, target only that specific chat. When empty
(legacy agents, non-chat git operations), fall back to the existing
workspace-wide broadcast.
- Extract `markStaleSingle` helper to deduplicate the upsert+publish
logic.
<details><summary>Investigation notes</summary>
### Data flow before fix
```
chatd → sets Coder-Chat-Id header on agent conn
agent → extracts chatID, stores on process struct
agent → does NOT set CODER_CHAT_ID in cmd.Env ← gap 1
gitaskpass → reads CODER_CHAT_ID (always empty), sends chat_id=""
server handler → ignores chat_id query param ← gap 2
MarkStale → broadcasts to ALL workspace chats
```
### Data flow after fix
```
chatd → sets Coder-Chat-Id header on agent conn
agent → extracts chatID, stores on process struct
agent → sets CODER_CHAT_ID in cmd.Env
gitaskpass → reads CODER_CHAT_ID, sends chat_id=<uuid>
server handler → reads chat_id, passes to MarkStale

## Problem
Every `GET /api/experimental/chats/{chatID}` call was blocking for
200-800ms because the `getChat` handler called `resolveChatDiffStatus`,
which unconditionally hit the git provider API (e.g. GitHub's `GET
/repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls?head=...`) via `ResolveBranchPullRequest` —
even when the cached diff status was fresh.
This made every chat page load at `/agents/{id}` noticeably slow.
## Root cause
The call chain was:
1. `getChat` → `resolveChatDiffStatus`
2. `resolveChatDiffStatus` → `resolveChatDiffReference` →
`gp.ResolveBranchPullRequest(...)` **(external HTTP call)**
3. Only **after** the external call: `chatDiffStatusIsStale(status,
now)` check
The staleness check happened after the expensive work, so every request
paid the cost regardless of cache freshness.
## Fix
`getChat` now returns the cached `chat_diff_statuses` row directly from
the database. The background `gitsync` worker already keeps these rows
fresh (every `DiffStatusTTL = 120s`), so inline resolution was
redundant.
The `resolveChatDiffContents` endpoint (which fetches actual diff
content) still uses the full resolution path since it needs to make
provider API calls by design.
## Changes
- `getChat` reads cached diff status from DB instead of calling
`resolveChatDiffStatus`
- Remove `resolveChatDiffStatus` (dead code — no production callers)
- Remove `chatDiffStatusIsStale` and `chatDiffStatusTTL` (dead code)
- Remove `RefreshesStaleStatusWithExternalAuth` test (tested the removed
inline refresh path)
<details><summary>Decision log</summary>
- **Why not just add a staleness gate?** The background worker already
handles refreshes on the same schedule. Adding an early-return-if-fresh
would work but leaves dead code for the stale path that's never
exercised in production (the worker gets there first). Removing the
inline path entirely is simpler and eliminates the external API
dependency from the read path.
- **Why keep `resolveChatDiffContents` unchanged?** That endpoint's job
is to fetch the actual diff content from the provider, so external API
calls are inherent to its purpose.
</details>
Unarchiving a root chat now restores descendant chats in the database
and emits lifecycle events for every affected chat so passive sessions
converge without a full refetch.
This keeps archive and unarchive symmetric at both the data and
watch-stream layers by returning the affected chat family from the
database, using those post-update rows for chatd pubsub fanout, and
covering descendant lifecycle delivery with a watch-level regression
test.
Closes#23666
Archiving a chat now transitions pending or running chats to waiting
before setting the archived flag. This publishes a status notification
on `ChatStreamNotifyChannel` so `subscribeChatControl` cancels the
active `processChat` context via `ErrInterrupted` — the same codepath
used by the stop button.
The `processChat` cleanup also skips queued-message auto-promotion when
the chat is archived, so archiving behaves like a hard stop rather than
interrupt-and-continue.

## Summary
Adds read/unread tracking for chats so users can see which agent
conversations have new assistant messages they haven't viewed.
## Backend Changes
- Adds `last_read_message_id` column to the `chats` table (migration
000439).
- Computes `has_unread` as a virtual column in `GetChatsByOwnerID` using
an `EXISTS` subquery checking for assistant messages beyond the read
cursor.
- Exposes `has_unread` on the `codersdk.Chat` struct and auto-generated
TypeScript types.
- Updates `last_read_message_id` on stream connect/disconnect in
`streamChat`, avoiding per-message API calls during active streaming.
- Uses `context.WithoutCancel` for the deferred disconnect write so the
DB update succeeds even after the client disconnects.
## Frontend Changes
- Bold title (`font-semibold`) for unread chats in the sidebar.
- Small blue dot indicator next to the relative timestamp.
- Suppresses unread indicator for the currently active chat via
`isActive` from NavLink.
## Design Decisions
- Only `assistant` messages count as unread — the user's own messages
don't trigger the indicator.
- No foreign key on `last_read_message_id` since messages can be deleted
(via rollback/truncation) and the column is just a high-water mark.
- Zero API calls during streaming: exactly 2 DB writes per stream
session (connect + disconnect).
- Unread state refreshes on chat list load and window focus. The
`watchChats` WebSocket optimistically marks non-active chats as unread
on `status_change` events, but does not carry a server-computed
`has_unread` field. Navigating to a chat optimistically clears its
unread indicator in the cache.
## 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}`

## Summary
Adds pinned chats to the agents page sidebar with server-side
persistence and drag-to-reorder. Users can pin/unpin chats via the
context menu, and pinned chats appear in a dedicated "Pinned" section
above the time-grouped list.
## Database
Migration `000453_chat_pin_order`: adds `pin_order integer DEFAULT 0 NOT
NULL` column on `chats` (0 = unpinned, 1+ = pinned in display order).
Three SQL queries handle pin operations server-side using CTEs with
`ROW_NUMBER()`:
- `PinChatByID`: normalizes existing orders and appends to end
- `UnpinChatByID`: sets target to 0 and compacts remaining pins
- `UpdateChatPinOrder`: shifts neighbors, clamps to `[1, pinned_count]`
All queries exclude archived chats. `ArchiveChatByID` clears `pin_order`
on archive. The handler rejects pinning archived chats with 400.
## Backend
Pin/unpin/reorder go through the existing `PATCH
/api/experimental/chats/{chat}` via the `pin_order` field on
`UpdateChatRequest`. The handler routes based on current pin state:
`pin_order == 0` unpins, `> 0` on an already-pinned chat reorders, `> 0`
on an unpinned chat appends to end.
## Frontend
- `pinChat` / `unpinChat` / `reorderPinnedChat` optimistic mutations
using shared `isChatListQuery` predicate
- Sidebar renders Pinned section above time groups, excludes pinned
chats from time groups
- Pin/Unpin context menu items (hidden for child/delegated chats)
- `@dnd-kit/core` + `@dnd-kit/sortable` for drag-to-reorder with
`MouseSensor`, `TouchSensor`, and `KeyboardSensor`
- Local pin-order override prevents flash on drop; click blocker
prevents NavLink navigation after drag

`db2sdk.Chat`/`db2sdk.Chats`, alongside existing `ChatMessage`,
`ChatQueuedMessage`, and `ChatDiffStatus` converters.
`publishChatPubsubEvent` now calls `db2sdk.Chat(chat, nil)` instead of
maintaining its own copy of the conversion logic
- Added backend integration test
`TestWatchChats/CreatedEventIncludesAllChatFields`

Admins can now control whether the built-in Coder Agents default system
prompt is prepended to their custom instructions, rather than having the
custom prompt silently replace the default.
**Changes:**
- New `include_default_system_prompt` boolean toggle (defaults to `true`
for existing deployments) stored as a site config key — no migration
needed.
- GET `/api/experimental/chats/config/system-prompt` returns the toggle
state, the custom prompt, and a preview of the built-in default.
- PUT persists both the toggle and custom prompt atomically in a single
transaction.
- `resolvedChatSystemPrompt()` composes `[default?, custom?]` joined by
`\n\n`, falling back to the built-in default on DB errors.
- Settings UI adds a Switch toggle with conditional helper text and a
"Preview" button that shows the built-in default prompt via the existing
`TextPreviewDialog`.
- Comprehensive test coverage: 15 subtests covering toggle behavior,
prompt composition matrix, auth boundaries, and integration with chat
creation.
- Adds `GET /api/experimental/chats/by-workspace` endpoint that returns
workspace_id → latest chat_id mapping
- Modifies FE to fetch this alongside the workspace list, gated on
`agents` experiment and render an "Agent" badge similar to the existing
"Task" badge in `WorkspacesTable`
- Badge links to the "latest chat" linked to the given workspace.
Notes:
- Intentionally uses `fetchWithPostFilter` for RBAC to decouple from
workspaces API — will migrate to `workspaces_expanded` view later.
- If users have multiple chats linked to the same workspace, the badge
will link to the most recently updated one.

## Summary
Adds a process-wide cache for three hot database queries in `chatd` that
were hitting Postgres on **every chat turn** despite returning
rarely-changing configuration data:
| Query | Before (50k turns) | After | Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| `GetEnabledChatProviders` | ~98.6k calls | ~500-1000 | ~99% |
| `GetChatModelConfigByID` | ~49.2k calls | ~500-1000 | ~98% |
| `GetUserChatCustomPrompt` | ~46.7k calls | ~1000-2000 | ~97% |
These were identified via `coder exp scaletest chat` (5000 concurrent
chats × 10 turns) as the dominant source of Postgres load during chat
processing.
## Design
Follows the established **webpush subscription cache pattern**
(`coderd/webpush/webpush.go`):
- `sync.RWMutex` + `tailscale.com/util/singleflight` (generic) +
generation-based stale prevention + TTL
- 10s TTL for provider/model config, 5s TTL for user prompts
- Negative caching for `sql.ErrNoRows` on user prompts (the common case
— most users don't set custom prompts)
- Deep-clones `ChatModelConfig.Options` (`json.RawMessage` = `[]byte`)
on both store and read paths
### Invalidation
Single pubsub channel (`chat:config_change`) with kind discriminator for
cross-replica cache invalidation. Seven publish points in
`coderd/chats.go` cover all admin mutation endpoints
(create/update/delete for providers and model configs, put for user
prompts).

## Summary
This change removes the steady-state "resolve the latest workspace
agent" query from chat execution.
Instead of asking the database for the latest build's agent on every
turn, a chat now persists the workspace/build/agent binding it actually
uses and reuses that binding across subsequent turns. The common path
becomes "load the bound agent by ID and dial it", with fallback paths to
repair the binding when it is missing, stale, or intentionally changed.
## What changes
- add `workspace_id`, `build_id`, and `agent_id` binding fields to
`chats`
- expose those fields through the chat API / SDK so the execution
context is explicit
- load the persisted binding first in chatd, instead of always resolving
the latest build's agent
- persist a refreshed binding when chatd has to re-resolve the workspace
agent
- keep child / subagent chats on the same bound workspace context by
inheriting the parent binding
- leave `build_id` / `agent_id` unset for flows like `create_workspace`,
then bind them lazily on the next agent-backed turn
## Runtime behavior
The binding is treated as an optimistic cache of the agent a chat should
use:
- if the bound agent still exists and dials successfully, we use it
without a latest-build lookup
- if the bound agent is missing or no longer reachable, chatd
re-resolves against the latest build and persists the new binding
- if a workspace mutation changes the chat's target workspace, the
binding is updated as part of that mutation
To avoid reintroducing a hot-path query, dialing uses lazy validation:
- start dialing the cached agent immediately
- only validate against the latest build if the dial is still pending
after a short delay
- if validation finds a different agent, cancel the stale dial, switch
to the current agent, and persist the repaired binding
## Result
The hot path stops issuing
`GetWorkspaceAgentsInLatestBuildByWorkspaceID` for every user message,
which is the source of the DB pressure this PR is addressing. At the
same time, chats still converge to the correct workspace agent when the
binding becomes stale due to rebuilds or explicit workspace changes.
Problem: previously, the deployment-wide chat template allowlist was never actually wired in from `chatd.go`
- Extracts `parseChatTemplateAllowlist` into shared `coderd/util/xjson.ParseUUIDList`
- Adds `Server.chatTemplateAllowlist()` method that reads the allowlist from DB
- Passes `AllowedTemplateIDs` callback to `ListTemplates`, `ReadTemplate`, and `CreateWorkspace` tool constructors

## Summary
Adds a general-purpose `map[string]string` label system to chats, stored
as jsonb with a GIN index for efficient containment queries.
This is a standalone foundational feature that will be used by the
upcoming Automations feature for session identity (matching webhook
events to existing chats), replacing the need for bespoke session-key
tables.
## Changes
### Database
- **Migration 000451**: Adds `labels jsonb NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'` column
to `chats` table with a GIN index (`idx_chats_labels`)
- **`InsertChat`**: Accepts labels on creation via `COALESCE(@labels,
'{}')`
- **`UpdateChatByID`**: Supports partial update —
`COALESCE(sqlc.narg('labels'), labels)` preserves existing labels when
NULL is passed
- **`GetChats`**: New `has_labels` filter using PostgreSQL `@>`
containment operator
- **`GetAuthorizedChats`**: Synced with generated `GetChats` (new column
scan + query param)
### API
- **Create chat** (`POST /chats`): Accepts optional `labels` field,
validated before creation
- **Update chat** (`PATCH /chats/{chat}`): Supports `labels` field for
atomic label replacement
- **List chats** (`GET /chats`): Supports `?label=key:value` query
parameters (multiple are AND-ed)
### SDK
- `Chat`, `CreateChatRequest`, `UpdateChatRequest`, `ListChatsOptions`
all gain `Labels` fields
- `UpdateChatRequest.Labels` is a pointer (`*map[string]string`) so
`nil` means "don't change" vs empty map means "clear all"
### Validation (`coderd/httpapi/labels.go`)
- Max 50 labels per chat
- Key: 1–64 chars, must match `[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9._/-]*` (supports
namespaced keys like `github.repo`, `automation/pr-number`)
- Value: 1–256 chars
- 13 test cases covering all edge cases
### Chat runtime
- `chatd.CreateOptions` gains `Labels` field, threaded through to
`InsertChat`
- Existing `UpdateChatByID` callers (e.g., quickgen title updates) are
unaffected — NULL labels preserve existing values via COALESCE
- 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))
