4b7494be72 feat: harden chat generation runtime instrumentation for billing (#27451)
Closes CODAGT-835

## Summary

`chat_messages.runtime_ms` becomes the billing source of truth for Coder
Agents runtime (summed hourly by #27312), but it was built for
debugging: the June refactor (#26270) silently stopped recording
tool-step runtime, compaction was never measured, and interrupted turns
lost their partial runtime entirely. This PR defines the billable
metric, closes the paths that dropped it, and documents the definition
where the data lives.

## The billable definition

**`runtime_ms` is the wall-clock duration of the model invocation that
produced the persisted message content**, measured from just before the
provider stream opens until it is fully consumed.

What counts:

- Assistant generation steps, in top-level and sub-agent chats
(sub-agents are ordinary chats on the same generation path).
- Compaction summarization calls, persisted on the compaction assistant
message (**new**).
- Interrupted attempts: the message-part episode's lifetime is persisted
on the partial assistant message committed by `FinishInterruption`, so
partial generation time survives interruption (**new**; measured via a
new `Buffer.EpisodeDuration`, which works even though the generation
goroutine and the interrupt task are different tasks).

What deliberately does not count (each is documented in code and docs):

- **Local tool execution.** Tool wall time includes idle waits, most
importantly `wait_agent` polling a sub-agent chat that already bills its
own model invocations; billing the batch would double count, and
excluding one tool from a concurrent batch's wall time is ill-defined.
Pre-refactor instrumentation did include tool time; this makes the
exclusion an explicit product definition instead of a silent regression.
- **Failed model calls whose output is discarded** (retried attempts,
terminal errors, content-filter refusals). They persist no content, so
they bill nothing; billing errs toward undercounting. Notably a
stream-silence timeout can burn 10 idle minutes before a retry, which
should not be billable "active generation". If product later wants
failed attempts billed, that needs a place to persist runtime on error
turns (`FinishError` inserts no rows today) and is a deliberate
follow-up, not instrumentation drift.
- **Ancillary calls that produce no chat messages** (title generation,
advisor, turn summaries) and all idle/parked time (`requires_action`,
queueing).

The definition is documented as `COMMENT ON COLUMN
chat_messages.runtime_ms` (migration 000551, surfacing as a Go doc
comment on `ChatMessage.RuntimeMs`), on
`chatloop.PersistedStep.Runtime`, in the chatd architecture doc, and in
the Spend Management docs page.

## Index for the hourly scan

None needed: `GetTotalChatMessageRuntimeMsInRange` (#27312) filters an
hour-wide `created_at` range, which the existing
`idx_chat_messages_created_at` b-tree already serves; the residual
`runtime_ms IS NOT NULL` filter applies to one hour of rows. A partial
index would add permanent write amplification for a query that runs once
an hour.

> [!NOTE]
> Migration 000551 is also claimed by #27312; whichever merges second
renumbers via `fix_migration_numbers.sh`.

## Tests

- End-to-end: the existing full-server generation test now asserts
`RuntimeMs.Valid` on the committed assistant row (it previously read
`.Int64` without checking `.Valid`, so it passed on NULL).
- Interrupted turn: full task-level test (real DB, mock clock) asserting
the partial assistant message persists the attempt's runtime.
- Errored stream: asserts a failed invocation yields no step and no
runtime.
- Tool-using turn: asserts runtime lands on the assistant row only and
tool rows stay NULL.
- Compaction: asserts the summarization call duration is recorded and
lands on the compaction assistant message only.
- `messagepartbuffer.EpisodeDuration` unit coverage.

Blocks: CODAGT-843 (B3), CODAGT-838 (D8).

Michael Suchacz 6b8f820493 feat: remove native chat cost tracking in favor of AI Gateway cost data (#27330)
## Stack Context

This stack makes AI Gateway data and budgets the source of truth for AI
spend controls.

1. Re-back the per-chat cost endpoint with AI Gateway data (#27328,
merged).
2. Remove native chat usage limits (#27329, merged).
3. **This PR, now based on `main`:** remove native chat cost tracking
and its dedicated admin UI.

## Summary

Removes native per-message price calculation, model pricing fields, cost
persistence, aggregate cost queries, and admin cost API types. It also
deletes the Analytics and Spend pages plus their legacy redirects. The
AI Gateway-backed per-chat cost row and compact budget indicators
remain.

The spend documentation is renamed to `spend-management.md` and updated
for the remaining surfaces, group budget APIs, CSV export, upgrade
handling for native pricing and cost history, and the absence of a
deployment-wide spend dashboard. The per-chat cost API documents that
data follows AI Gateway retention and reports zero after all matching
requests are purged.

No schema is dropped in this release. `chat_messages.total_cost_micros`
remains nullable and unwritten so replicas from the previous release can
continue inserting messages during rolling upgrades. #27600 tracks
removal after the compatibility window.

Michael Suchacz df1c0f9710 feat: show what a chat lifecycle hook changed (#27655)
## Stack Context

Follow-up fixes from live UAT of the merged chat lifecycle hooks stack
(#27430). Two PRs:

1. **This PR**: make hook effects visible and correctly attributed in
the transcript.
2. [`mike/chat-hooks-uat/dispatch-capacity`]: reserve dispatch capacity
so an admission burst can't fail running turns.

## Why?

UAT found three ways the transcript misrepresented what a lifecycle hook
did. All three are user-visible and share the same surface
(`chathooks/effects.go`, `codersdk.ChatMessagePart`, the conversation
timeline), so they're reviewed together.

**A prompt `input_override` silently discarded attachments.**
`ComposeUserPromptContent` replaced the entire submitted part list with
one text part, dropping `file` and `file-reference` parts along with
their `chat_file_links`. The user saw their attachments vanish with no
explanation. The override now replaces submitted *text* parts only and
preserves non-text parts in order. A consumer that wants to block
attachments uses `deny`, which is the documented mechanism for refusing
a submission.

**Every user-visible `system` row was labelled "Lifecycle hook".** The
timeline keyed the notice off `role === "system"`. That was correct only
by accident, because the hook `user_message` was the sole client-visible
system row. The backend now emits the notice as a typed `hook-notice`
part and the timeline renders on that, so a future system row can't be
mislabelled as a policy notice.

**Nothing marked a tool call the hook had rewritten.** A consumer could
replace tool input via `input_override` and the transcript showed the
rewritten input as if the model had produced it. `ChatMessagePart` gains
`hook_rewritten`, set from `preflight.Overrides` on the same path that
already carries `ToolCallCreatedAt`, and the tool row renders a
"Modified by policy" badge.

`ToolCall.PolicyProvider` renders the badge itself, at four wrap sites:
the `Tool` dispatch wrapper, the `ReadFilesTool` aggregate and its
per-file rows, and `ReadFileTimelineBlock` (grouped and single
`read_file` rows bypass `Tool`). Renderer props do not include the flag;
descendants consume it through the provider context.

The badge is emitted by the provider rather than by the shared header
because several renderer branches return early without one, including
the auth-required `execute` card, a completed `ask_user_question`, and
an empty question payload. Those branches would drop the attribution
with no type or runtime error, and the gap is not greppable: every
renderer file contains a header somewhere, only individual branches do
not. Emitting at the provider removes the possibility instead of
enumerating the cases.

A rewritten call is wrapped in a group labelled by its badge, so one
rewritten file inside a merged read is attributed on its own rather than
inheriting the group's badge. `HeaderButton` still appends the policy
wording to an explicit `ariaLabel`, since an explicit `aria-label`
replaces the name computed from descendants.

Provider-executed calls are excluded from attribution. Hooks never see
them, and duplicate tool-call ID rejection deliberately skips them, so a
reused ID would otherwise mark a provider-executed call as
policy-rewritten.

## Testing

Go: `coderd/x/chatd/...`, `coderd/x/agenthooks/...`, `codersdk/...`, and
`coderd -run 'Hook|Chat'`. Frontend: `tsc` plus every `AgentsPage`
story; the only failures are `MCP Tool Completed` and `Scroll To Bottom
Button Works With Inverse Scroll`, both of which fail on trunk.

A registry-wide story asserts every registered renderer shows the badge,
verified against three inverted toggles: removing the badge, hiding it
with `display:none`, and skipping the provider for one renderer (which
names that renderer). Storybook also covers the rewritten subagent
spawn, a completed empty question payload, a non-hook system message,
and a failed `read_file` guarding the accessible name.

Michael Suchacz c17bed25e0 feat: wire chat lifecycle hooks into chatd (#27429)
Wires chat lifecycle hooks into chatd, gated by the
`agent-lifecycle-hooks` experiment. Part of the lifecycle hooks stack
(#27401, #27428, #27430). See `docs/admin/setup/chat-lifecycle-hooks.md`
for the consumer-facing contract.

## Summary

When a hook URL is configured, chatd dispatches `session_start`,
`user_prompt_submit`, `pre_tool_use`, `post_tool_use`, `pre_compact`,
`post_compact`, and `stop` events to the consumer and applies its
responses.

## Design

- **Stateless**: Coder stores no hook dispatch or decision state.
Delivery is at least once; consumers deduplicate on stable payload
identifiers (chat ID, event type, tool-use ID) and answer duplicates
with the same decision.
- **Admission-time prompt effects**: `user_prompt_submit` dispatches
exactly once per submission (create, send, queue, edit, subagent spawn)
and folds its effects into the stored prompt as typed message parts:
original-or-overridden user parts, then model-only `hook-context`, then
a user-visible `hook-notice`. Hook context is stripped from every
client-facing conversion; hook notices are excluded from model prompts.
The server rejects hook parts in client-submitted content.
- **Tool gating**: `pre_tool_use` allow can override tool input; deny
becomes a synthetic denied tool result, with any returned model context
persisted as a model-only transcript row so it never reaches clients.
The denial text identifies an external policy (the deployment's
lifecycle hook) as the source and marks the decision as persistent, so
the model explains the denial instead of retrying it or misreporting it
as an infrastructure failure.
- **Fail closed**: a dispatch failure rejects the triggering request or
moves the chat to the error state in the same transaction as the
affected step, so a runnable state is never published with unapproved
content.
- **Admission before persistence**: `pre_tool_use` is dispatched for the
calls the model produced, before the assistant message is stored. See
"Staged tool admission" below.
- **Fresh dispatch per tool call**: every non-provider-executed tool
call is decided by its own `pre_tool_use` dispatch; Coder never reuses
an earlier decision on the consumer's behalf. Retries re-dispatch the
same logical event.

## Structure

All hook dispatch flows through one seam: entry points build a
`chathooks.Chat` (chat identity) and a `chathooks.Message` (event
details) and call `Trigger.Trigger`, the only component that talks to
the dispatcher. The integration lives in the `coderd/x/chatd/chathooks`
subpackage, split by responsibility:

- `trigger.go`: the trigger seam; builds the wire envelope per event,
normalizes deny into a typed error, and holds the package's single
enabled-check.
- `effects.go`: pure conversion of hook results into transcript rows and
prompt parts.
- `errors.go`: failure classification (dispatch error messages, denial
mapping, tool-result dispatch-failure scanning).
- `tooluse.go`: the tool-call gate (`pre_tool_use` preflight,
`post_tool_use` payloads, applying admitted input to the step).

Server-bound glue stays in `coderd/x/chatd/hook_server.go`: the
chat-parking dispatch error handlers, the step-commit row insertion
wrappers, and the dynamic post-tool-use state loader, which depends on
chatd validation types.

This PR adopts the `codersdk/x/agenthooks` and
`coderd/x/agenthooks/dispatch` import paths introduced at the tip of
#27401; intermediate commits still reference the pre-move paths and are
not individually buildable.

## Staged tool admission

`pre_tool_use` originally ran at tool execution time, which is after the
assistant message carrying the tool call was already committed. An
`input_override` therefore had to rewrite stored message content in
place. @hugodutka pointed out that chatd treats message content as
immutable, and that the rewrite was a shortcut rather than a
requirement.

It was also a correctness problem in its own right: the rewrite only
updated the database, so the transcript could show one input while a
different one had executed.

The hook now runs before the step is persisted:

```text
provider stream ends (tool calls complete, in memory)
  -> pre_tool_use dispatch per call
  -> ONE transaction: assistant row with admitted inputs, synthetic denials, hook rows
  -> execute
```

The step is inserted once, carrying the input the tool runs with.
`UpdateChatMessageContentByID` and `Tx.UpdateMessageContent` are deleted
from #27428, so message content stays immutable.

Two consequences, both intentional:

- **Clients converge rather than wait.** Tool-call parts still stream
live, so a rewritten call briefly shows the model's proposed input
before the committed message replaces it. The chat store already clears
stream state when an assistant message arrives, so the stored input wins
with no frontend change and no added latency before tool cards appear.
- **A call already in history was already admitted.** Execution consumes
the stored input instead of dispatching a second decision, which keeps
one dispatch and one set of hook effects per call. A consumer policy
change between admission and execution applies to later calls, not to
calls already admitted.

The per-chat debug endpoint still records the provider's original tool
input. Its purpose is to report provider behavior, and it requires an
explicit per-chat debug flag; the invariant here covers the transcript.

## Configuration

Adds `chat-hook-url`, `chat-hook-secret`, `chat-hook-timeout`, and
`chat-hook-enabled` deployment options with startup validation. The
flags are hidden from `coder server --help` while the feature is
experimental; the setup guide documents them.

## Tool input validation

Built-in tool arguments reach a consumer as raw JSON with key spelling
preserved, but the tools decode those bytes with Go, which matches
struct fields case-insensitively and keeps the last match. A policy
reading `path` could therefore authorize one value while the tool
executed another, and a lone case variant such as `{"PATH":"/secret"}`
was invisible to a policy checking for `path`.

Coder now rejects a built-in tool call whose input repeats a key or
spells a schema property with different capitalization, before the
`pre_tool_use` dispatch, so a consumer is never asked to authorize bytes
whose meaning depends on the reader. Rejected calls produce an error
result the model can retry; unambiguous calls in the same batch still
run. A consumer-authored `input_override` is rechecked after the
dispatch and fails the turn closed, because the model cannot correct it.
Dynamic and MCP inputs are excluded because the client and the workspace
agent execute those calls rather than coderd.

Two paths needed more than a schema check. Execution resolves a
deprecated tool name to its canonical tool, so validation resolves
aliases first. The `edit_files` decoder also reads `search` and
`replace`, which its schema does not advertise, so those aliases are now
matched exactly and their case variants ignored.

A hook denial now returns a structured 403 carrying `kind:
"hook_denied"`, mirroring the dispatch-failure response that already
carries its own kind. Without it a client cannot tell a policy decision
apart from a generic failure, and the chat UI titled a denial "Request
failed". Adding a kind needs no migration: `ChatErrorKind` is persisted
only inside the JSONB `chats.last_error` column, whose decoder accepts
unknown kinds.

The hook docs also correct the tool-input convergence window. A batch
dispatches sequentially before the assistant row commits, so the
original input stays visible for a span that scales with the number of
tool calls in the step rather than a single hook timeout.

Michael Suchacz 3227cac217 feat: add manual chat compaction via /compact (#27081)
Adds a user-triggered `/compact` action for Coder Agents chats: typing
`/compact` in the composer (or picking it from the `/` trigger menu)
summarizes the conversation so far to free up context window space.

## How it works

- New `POST /api/experimental/chats/{chat}/compact` endpoint
(owner-only, RBAC `ActionUpdate`, excluded from the public API reference
via `x-apidocgen skip`). It marks the chat with a durable one-shot
`chats.compaction_requested_at` signal and moves it `waiting -> running`
via a new `RequestCompaction` state transition; no message row is
inserted. AI Gateway attribution needs no per-request key: generation
preparation resolves the owner's synthetic API key (#27170) like any
other turn.
- `RequestCompaction` hands off chat ownership (clears
`worker_id`/`runner_id`) so a worker acquisition hint is published;
since the transition changes no history, the previous runner could
otherwise miss the request under reordered pubsub delivery.
- The background chat worker picks the chat up like any other turn. A
pending manual request takes precedence over turn completion in the
generation decision, and forces compaction even below the automatic
threshold (and when compaction is disabled via threshold=100). The
commit step consumes the request marker in the same transaction; any
transition that ends the turn clears stale markers.
- The summary triplet reuses the automatic-compaction path, now tagged
with a `source` (`automatic` | `manual`) that is plumbed through
streamed progress parts, persisted tool JSON, and the UI label
("Summarized (manual)").
- Validation order: busy chats reject with 409 (state-machine conflict),
empty/already-compacted chats with 409 "nothing to compact", archived
chats with 400; the owner usage-limit check runs last so no-op requests
surface the specific conflict instead of a limit error.
- Web UI: the `/` trigger menu now has a built-in "Commands" group
listing `/compact`; submit intercepts exactly `/compact` and calls the
endpoint instead of sending a message. A personal or workspace skill
named `compact` takes precedence over the built-in command; while skill
collisions are still resolving, an exact `/compact` submission is
blocked with a retryable hint instead of leaking as message text.
History and queued-message edits are never intercepted. After
compaction, the context usage indicator resets to its unknown state
until the next assistant response reports fresh usage, instead of
showing the stale pre-compaction number.
- codersdk: `ExperimentalClient.CompactChat`.

Worker-path execution (rather than compacting synchronously in the
handler) reuses the existing lock fencing, live "Summarizing..."
streaming, retry accounting, restart resilience, and debug-run
observability. Rationale documented in `coderd/x/chatd/ARCHITECTURE.md`.

## Testing

- State machine: transition-matrix coverage for `RequestCompaction`,
marker lifecycle tests (carried by lease renewals/queue appends, cleared
by terminal transitions, consumed by commit), ownership handoff +
acquisition hint assertions.
- Worker: decision-ordering and forced-compaction unit tests;
active-server end-to-end test (manual compact below threshold produces a
`source=manual` summary, returns to `waiting`, no assistant follow-up;
busy chat rejected).
- API: success, archived, non-owner, RBAC-denied, empty-chat, no-daemon
cases; usage-limit ordering (at-limit owners still get
state/nothing-to-compact conflicts for no-op requests, with marker
rollback).
- Frontend: Storybook play tests for the Commands menu group, submit
intercept, skill-name collision, queued-edit passthrough, and
manual/automatic tool rendering; unit tests for command availability
resolution and the post-compaction context usage reset.

Cian Johnston b21e0717d5 feat: remove chat chain mode (#26980)
Removes OpenAI Responses "chain mode" from chatd. Closes CODAGT-445.

- Deletes `chatopenai/responses.go` (chain detection, activation, prompt filtering, response ID extraction) and its tests.
- Deletes the `ChainBroken` classification in `chaterror` and the chatloop retry bookkeeping that disabled chain mode mid-generation.
- Drops the `chain_broken` label from the `coderd_chatd_stream_retries_total` metric.
- Stops reading and writing `chat_messages.provider_response_id`
- Deletes the dead `ClearChatMessageProviderResponseIDsByChatID` query. Dropping the column is a follow-up migration.
- Deletes three chatloop hooks no caller sets (`ReloadMessages`, `DisableChainMode`, `PrepareMessages`), the dead `const AgentChatContextSentinelPath`, and stale chain-mode comments.

Hugo Dutka 3cde346cbb fix(coderd/x/chatd): fix compaction still over limit check (#26377)
Addresses
[CODAGT-620](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/CODAGT-620/session-can-get-stuck-at-compaction-with-request-failed).
We have logic that checks whether message compaction still leaves the
chat over the context limit. We want to abort if it does - if we didn't,
we'd get into an endless compaction loop. The check's logic was faulty.
This PR changes fixes it. The new flow is:

1. In iteration 1, a chat runner commits a message compaction summary.
2. In iteration 2, the runner submits the newly compacted conversation
to the LLM provider in order to generate the next message.
3. In iteration 3, 4, 5, etc., if the conversation needs compaction, the
runner looks up the configured context limit and the first assistant
message after the last compaction summary. It compares the context usage
on that message with the context limit. If the usage is over the limit,
it returns an error.
