Michael SuchaczandMathias Fredriksson 1eb5d579b0 fix: unblock manual chat title generation for unowned chats (#26963)
## Problem

The Generate button in the chat Rename dialog (POST
`/api/experimental/chats/{chat}/title/propose`) could fail in ways
unrelated to actual concurrent title generation:

- The manual title lock returned 409 for any `pending` chat and any
`running` chat without a worker. Legacy `pending` rows are never
acquired by workers, so those chats 409'd forever. Running chats are
unowned in the normal window between message submission and worker
acquisition (indefinitely when runners are down), producing spurious
409s.
- A missing default chat model config surfaced as a generic 500, and the
dialog hid the actionable cause carried in the error detail.

## Fix

Backend (`coderd/x/chatd`, `coderd`, `coderd/database`):

- Remove the manual title lock entirely. Races between title writers are
already resolved by `recordManualTitleUsage`, which re-reads the chat
under `GetChatByIDForUpdate` and only persists the generated title when
it is unchanged since the request snapshot, so concurrent regenerates
and renames settle by last write wins. The lock only suppressed
duplicate model calls (the dialog already disables the button in flight,
and usage limits bound spend), and its synthetic `worker_id` marker was
the source of the spurious 409s. The 409 responses, the marker and
staleness handling, and the now-unused
`UpdateChatStatusPreserveUpdatedAt` query are gone.
- New `ErrNoDefaultChatModelConfig` sentinel mapped to 400 "No default
chat model config is configured." in both title endpoints, matching the
POST `/chats` precedent.

Frontend (`site`):

- The Rename dialog error alert now renders the API error detail under
the message, reading `error.response.data.detail` directly so
detail-less API errors do not show the generic developer-console hint.
- Removed the dead regenerate-title UI plumbing (`onRegenerateTitle`
outlet wiring and the `regeneratingTitleChatIds` spinner pipeline). The
Rename dialog propose flow is the only live title-generation UX; the
endpoint, codersdk methods, and the `api.ts`/`queries/chats.ts` layer
are kept for API consumers.

## Tests

- chatd internal: a strict-mock test pinning the compare-and-swap guard
(a concurrently changed title must not be clobbered by a generated one),
plus the existing persist-and-broadcast coverage without lock
transactions.
- HTTP: `PendingWithoutWorker` expects 200 for both endpoints,
`NoDefaultModelConfig` (400) subtests, a stopped-workspace propose
regression, and an `Unauthenticated` propose subtest.
- Storybook: stories asserting the API error detail renders in the
dialog alert, and that detail-less API errors and plain errors do not
leak the developer-console hint.

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

Coder platform showing templates and a running workspace

Quickstart

The most convenient way to try Coder is to install it on your local machine and experiment with provisioning cloud development environments using Docker (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows).

# First, install Coder
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh

# Start the Coder server (caches data in ~/.cache/coder)
coder server

# Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user,
# create a Docker template and provision a workspace

Install

The easiest way to install Coder is to use the install script for Linux and macOS. For Windows, use the latest ..._installer.exe file from GitHub Releases.

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

You can run the install script with --dry-run to see the commands that will be used to install without executing them. Run the install script with --help for additional flags.

See install for additional methods.

Once installed, you can start a production deployment with a single command:

# Automatically sets up an external access URL on *.try.coder.app
coder server

# Requires a PostgreSQL instance (version 13 or higher) and external access URL
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>

Use coder --help to get a list of flags and environment variables. See the install guides for a complete tutorial.
