Michael SuchaczandEthan Dickson 0ef331fcd0 feat!: scope chat model override settings to organizations (#28442)
Moves chat model override settings from deployment scope to organization
scope, following the org-scoping of chat model configs in #28440.

Depends on #28440 (based on
`ethan/chat-models-availability-consolidation`).

Remote dogfood UAT passed on this change, including multi-organization
scenarios on a licensed deployment with real models.

## Problem

Chat model configs are now owned by organizations, but the override
settings that reference them stayed deployment-wide: admin
subagent/title/compaction overrides in `site_configs`, personal
overrides in `user_configs`, and the advisor model embedded in the
advisor runtime JSON. A single deployment-level override can only point
at one organization's model config, so overrides effectively worked for
the default organization only, and title generation had to soften its
hard-failure contract to tolerate unusable overrides.

## Fix

Admin overrides (general, explore, title generation, compaction,
advisor) and personal overrides (root, general, explore) become
organization-scoped rows in two new typed tables,
`chat_organization_model_overrides` and `chat_user_model_overrides`.
Composite foreign keys on `(organization_id, model_config_id)` make
cross-organization model references unrepresentable. The migration
deletes the legacy serialized `site_configs`/`user_configs` override
keys instead of migrating them; admins and users re-select models in the
new organization-scoped settings.

New endpoints live under
`/api/experimental/organizations/{organization}/chats/model-overrides`
(admin defaults) and
`/api/experimental/organizations/{organization}/members/{user}/chats/model-overrides`
(personal overrides); the legacy deployment-level routes are removed.
chatd resolves overrides via the chat's organization, restoring the
hard-failure contract for configured-but-unusable title generation
overrides. The deployment-level `AllowUsers` switch and advisor runtime
limits stay deployment-scoped.

The Coder Agents settings UI gains a per-organization "Defaults &
overrides" page under AI Settings > Models, and the personal overrides
page gains an organization selector for users in multiple organizations.
Advisor telemetry now reports per-organization override rows.

**BREAKING CHANGE**: Existing deployment-level overrides are dropped,
not migrated. Every organization starts with no overrides after upgrade,
and model selections must be re-applied in the new settings. The legacy
deployment-level override endpoints are removed.

Coder is a self-hosted platform for cloud development environments and AI coding agents. Workspaces are defined with Terraform, connected through a secure Wireguard® tunnel, and automatically shut down when not used. Coder Agents runs a native AI coding agent whose loop executes in the control plane on your infrastructure, with no API keys in workspaces.

  • Define cloud development environments in Terraform
    • EC2 VMs, Kubernetes Pods, Docker Containers, etc.
  • Automatically shutdown idle resources to save on costs
  • Onboard developers in seconds instead of days
  • Delegate coding work to AI agents on your infrastructure
    • Bring any model (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Bedrock, self-hosted)
    • No LLM credentials in workspaces, user identity on every action
    • Centralized model governance, cost tracking, and audit logging

Quickstart

Check out our install guides for other methods and a complete tutorial.

Try Coder with the install script on Linux and macOS, or grab the latest binary or installer from GitHub Releases on Windows:

curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

Start the server and open http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user, create a Docker template, and provision your first workspace:

coder server

For a production deployment, add a PostgreSQL database (version 13 or later) and an external access URL, and see our validated architectures for sizing and infrastructure guidance:

coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

Without these flags, Coder uses a built-in database and sets up a *.try.coder.app access URL for evaluation. Use coder --help for the full list of flags and environment variables.
