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.

## Summary
Stop reading and writing the legacy `api_key_id` columns on chat
messages and queued messages, and drop the columns in the same PR.
Runtime AI Gateway attribution continues to use the per-user synthetic
key introduced by #27170.
With the columns gone, `sqlc` generates `database.ChatMessage` and
`database.ChatQueuedMessage` without `api_key_id`, so no transitional
query scaffolding is needed.
Migration `000548` drops the `api_key_id` columns. #27170 already
removed their foreign keys, so the down migration re-adds nullable text
columns without constraints. Previous column values cannot be restored.
Also moves the model config validation in `CreateChat` above the
message-building work so a disabled or invalid model fails fast. On main
this mattered more: the old ordering minted a synthetic API key before
rejecting the request.
Deploy note: replicas still running the previous release write
`api_key_id` on insert, so chat message inserts on old replicas fail
during the rolling window after the column drop. This was previously
split across two PRs to avoid that window; per review feedback the split
added more churn than it was worth for an experimental surface.
Depends on #27170 (merged).

This PR adds the database and API pieces necessary to support full-text
chat message search.
- Adds required chat schema for full-text search
- Adds dbpurge job to populate search_tsv in the background
- Adds `search` parameter to GetChats query
- Adds `search` filter to `searchquery.Chats`
- Wires chat search filter into chats API
> Implemented by Coder Agents, reviewed and tested by a human.
The chatd state machine only recognizes `waiting`, `running`, `error`,
`requires_action`, and `interrupting`. Remove the unused `pending`,
`paused`, and `completed` values from the database enum, backend, SDK,
frontend, generated queries, and API docs.
Migration `000543_chat_status_remove_unused` remaps existing `pending`
rows to `running`, remaps `paused` and `completed` rows to `waiting`,
drops the obsolete `idx_chats_pending` index, and recreates
`chats_expanded` around the enum swap. It also removes the dead
`AcquireChats` query and all remaining query literals for the deleted
statuses.
**NOTE**: The enum swap can break chat queries from older replicas
during a mixed-version rollout because they still reference
`'pending'::chat_status`. Chats are experimental, so this PR accepts
that limited rollout window instead of adding a two-release expand and
contract sequence.

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.

The provider type already lives authoritatively in ai_providers.type,
reachable on every active row through ai_provider_id, which the
chat_model_configs_ai_provider_required_when_active CHECK makes
mandatory. The stored provider string was a denormalized copy the system
kept in sync with a startup backfill and no longer needs.
Every surface now derives provider type from the linked ai_providers
row. Telemetry is the one exception: it keeps emitting provider, now
sourced from ai_providers.type via a JOIN, so the BigQuery column and the
Nexus dashboards that read it are unaffected. The experimental HTTP/SDK
response drops provider and makes ai_provider_id required, since those
endpoints return only active configs; consumers resolve provider type
from ai_provider_id and the AI providers listing.
This ships in a single release with no compatibility window: production
reads the table via SELECT *, so a pre-drop binary fails config reads the
moment the column is gone. Operators must scale to zero before upgrading,
and there is no rollback.
Closes CODAGT-599
This PR makes the agent-pushed pinned snapshot
(`chat_context_resources`) the sole source of workspace context for
chats, completing the "Release 5" cleanup. It removes legacy mechanisms
now superseded by the snapshot that agents push over dRPC
(`PushContextState`) and refresh via `chat-context/refresh`.
Removed:
- **Live-read at turn time.** MCP tool discovery, skill live-body reads,
and the instruction/skill history fallback that dialed the workspace on
every turn.
- **Context injected as message history.** The
`persist_workspace_context` generation action and its decision-loop
guard.
- **The legacy write path.** `POST`/`DELETE
/api/v2/workspaceagents/me/experimental/chat-context`, the agentsdk
`AddChatContext`/`ClearChatContext` methods, and the CLI one-shot
writer.
- **The `chats.last_injected_context` column** and all of its plumbing
(migration `000529`, queries, `db2sdk`, `dbauthz`, audit table, and the
frontend `ContextUsageIndicator` fallback).
Subagent context inheritance no longer copies parent context messages;
children now hydrate the parent's pinned `chat_context_resources` on
create, which yields an identical pin for the same workspace and agent.
What stays (still served by the live agent connection, not the
snapshot): `read_skill_file` supporting-file reads, `read_skill`
supporting-file listing, and MCP tool execution.
> [!NOTE]
> Migration `000529` drops `chats.last_injected_context` and recreates
the `chats_expanded` view without it. The down migration restores both.
<details>
<summary>Decision log (D1-D5)</summary>
- **D1 (subagent inheritance):** Re-point inheritance from the legacy
message copy to a pinned hydrate. Children call
`hydrateChatContextOnCreate` instead of copying parent context messages.
- **D2 (`persist_workspace_context`):** Remove the generation action
entirely along with the decision-loop guard it existed to satisfy, since
context is never injected into history anymore.
- **D3 (legacy HTTP + CLI):** Remove the experimental `chat-context`
POST/DELETE endpoints, the agentsdk methods, and the CLI one-shot. The
dRPC push + `chat-context/refresh` replace them.
- **D4 (frontend fallback):** Remove the `last_injected_context`
fallback in `ContextUsageIndicator`; pinned `resources` are the sole
source.
- **D5 (sequencing):** Ship as a single PR rather than a stacked pair.
