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`.
OpenAI Responses follow-up turns were replaying full assistant/tool
history even when `store=true`, which breaks after reasoning +
provider-executed `web_search` output.
This change persists the OpenAI response ID on assistant messages, then
in `coderd/x/chatd` switches `store=true` follow-ups to
`previous_response_id` chaining with a system + new-user-only prompt.
`store=false` and missing-ID cases still fall back to manual replay.
It also updates the fake OpenAI server and integration coverage for the
chaining contract, and carries the rebased path move to `coderd/x/chatd`
plus the migration renumber needed after rebasing onto `main`.
## Problem
`TestConnectAll_MultipleServers` flakes with:
```
net/http: HTTP/1.x transport connection broken: http: CloseIdleConnections called
```
Each MCP client connection implicitly uses `http.DefaultTransport`. When
`httptest.Server.Close()` runs during parallel test cleanup, it calls
`CloseIdleConnections` on `http.DefaultTransport`, breaking in-flight
connections from other goroutines or parallel tests sharing that
transport.
## Fix
Clone the default transport for each MCP connection via
`http.DefaultTransport.(*http.Transport).Clone()`, passed through
`WithHTTPBasicClient` (StreamableHTTP) and `WithHTTPClient` (SSE). This
scopes idle connection cleanup to a single MCP server so it cannot
disrupt unrelated connections.

## What
Adds per-user per-model auto-compaction threshold overrides. Users can
now customize the percentage of context window usage that triggers chat
compaction, independently for each enabled model.
## Why
The compaction threshold was previously only configurable at the
deployment level (`chat_model_configs.compression_threshold`). Different
users have different preferences — some want aggressive compaction to
keep costs low, others prefer higher thresholds to retain more context.
This gives users control without requiring admin intervention.
## Architecture
**Storage:** Reuses the existing `user_configs` table (no migration
needed). Overrides are stored as key/value pairs with keys shaped
`chat_compaction_threshold:<modelConfigID>` and integer percent values.
**API:** Three new experimental endpoints under
`/api/experimental/chats/config/`:
- `GET /user-compaction-thresholds` — list all overrides for the current
user
- `PUT /user-compaction-thresholds/{modelConfig}` — upsert an override
(validates model exists and is enabled, validates 0–100 range)
- `DELETE /user-compaction-thresholds/{modelConfig}` — clear an override
(idempotent)
**Runtime resolution:** In `coderd/chatd/chatd.go`, a new
`resolveUserCompactionThreshold()` helper runs at the start of each chat
turn (inside `runChat()`), after the model config is resolved but before
`CompactionOptions` is built. If a valid override exists, it replaces
`modelConfig.CompressionThreshold`. The threshold source
(`user_override` vs `model_default`) is logged with each compaction
event.
**Precedence:** `effectiveThreshold = userOverride ??
modelConfig.CompressionThreshold`
**UI:** New "Context Compaction" subsection in the Agents → Settings →
Behavior tab, placed after Personal Instructions. Shows one row per
enabled model with the system default, a number input for the override,
and Save/Reset controls.
## Testing
- 9 API subtests covering CRUD, validation (boundary values 0/100,
out-of-range rejection), upsert behavior, idempotent delete, user
isolation, and non-existent model config
- 4 dbauthz tests (16 scenarios) verifying `ActionReadPersonal` /
`ActionUpdatePersonal` on all query methods
- 4 Storybook stories with play functions (Default, WithOverrides,
Loading, Error)
<details>
<summary>Implementation plan</summary>
### Phase 1 — Tests
- Backend API tests in `coderd/chats_test.go` (9 subtests)
- Database auth wrapper tests in
`coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz_test.go` (4 methods)
- Frontend stories in `UserCompactionThresholdSettings.stories.tsx` (4
stories)
### Phase 2 — Backend preference surface
- 4 SQL queries in `coderd/database/queries/users.sql` (list, get,
upsert, delete)
- `make gen` to propagate into generated artifacts
- Auth/metrics wrappers in dbauthz and dbmetrics
- SDK types and client methods in `codersdk/chats.go`
- HTTP handlers and routes in `coderd/chats.go` and `coderd/coderd.go`
- Key prefix constant shared between handlers and runtime
### Phase 3 — Runtime override
- `resolveUserCompactionThreshold()` helper in `coderd/chatd/chatd.go`
- Override injection in `runChat()` before building `CompactionOptions`
- `threshold_source` field added to compaction log
### Phase 4 — Settings UI
- API client methods and React Query hooks in `site/src/api/`
- `UserCompactionThresholdSettings` component extracted from
`SettingsPageContent`
- Per-model mutation tracking (only the active row disables during save)
- 100% warning, "System default" label, helpful empty state copy
### Phase 5 — Refactor and review fixes
- Consolidated key prefix constant in `codersdk`
- Explicit PUT range validation (not just struct tags)
- GET handler gracefully skips malformed rows instead of 500
- Boundary value, upsert, and non-existent model config tests
- UX improvements: per-model mutation state, aria-live on errors

TestInterruptAutoPromotionIgnoresLaterUsageLimitIncrease still relied on
wall-clock polling after the acquire loop moved to a mock clock, so it
could assert before chatd finished its asynchronous cleanup and
auto-promotion work.
Wait on explicit request-start signals and on the server's in-flight
chat work before asserting the intermediate and final database state.
This keeps the test synchronized with the actual processor lifecycle
instead of scheduler timing.
Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1406
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`
