Matt VollmerandNick Vigilante 75e0790cd7 docs: remove beta references from Coder Agents docs and manifest (#27939)
Removes all references to "beta" from the Coder Agents documentation
under `docs/ai-coder/agents/` and the corresponding `"state": ["beta"]`
entries in `docs/manifest.json`. Also updates screenshots, video, and
hero image, and regenerates the auto-generated feature-stages table.

**Beta reference removal:**
- `getting-started.md`: Removed "Coder Agents is in Beta" from the top
note, "is in beta" from the Chats API note, and "during Beta" from the
feedback section. Removed the version/stability note pinning 2.33.1.
- `index.md`: Removed the "Product status" section that stated Coder
Agents is in Beta.
- `manifest.json`: Removed `"state": ["beta"]` from 17 entries for pages
under `docs/ai-coder/agents/`. Preserved all `premium` and `early
access` states.
- `feature-stages.md`: Regenerated the auto-generated beta features
table, which no longer lists Coder Agents.

**Asset updates:**
- `coder-agents-ui.mp4`: Updated demo video on the agents landing page.
- `llm-providers.png`: Updated LLM provider support screenshot.
- `models-list.png`: Updated models list screenshot.
- `models-add-model.png`: Updated add model form screenshot.
- `agents-hero-image.png`: Updated hero image on the `docs/ai-coder`
landing page.

Two references in `models.md` (`v1beta` in the Google Gemini API URL and
`anthropic-beta` in the Anthropic header name) were left unchanged as
they are provider API identifiers, not product status labels.

Advisor

Note

This feature is experimental. Pin a release before broad rollout and review the release notes before upgrading.

Enable the experiment

coder server --experiments=chat-advisor

Or set the environment variable:

CODER_EXPERIMENTS=chat-advisor

What it does

Lets a root agent pause its current turn and request strategic guidance from a separate, single-step model call. The advisor sees recent conversation context, runs without any tools, and returns concise advice for the root agent rather than the end user. While active, it is the only tool the root agent can call for that turn.

Useful for planning ambiguity, architectural tradeoffs, debugging strategy after repeated failures, or risk reduction before a destructive operation.

Configuration

Once the experiment is enabled, configure the advisor under AI Settings > Coder Agents > Advisor.

Field Default Notes
Max uses per turn 0 (unlimited) Caps how many times the root agent can call the advisor in a single chat turn. Must be a non-negative integer.
Max output tokens 0 (server default) Caps the advisor model's response length. 0 uses the server default of 16,384 tokens. Must be a non-negative integer.
Advisor model Use chat model Optional dedicated chat model config for the advisor. When unset, the advisor reuses the root agent's model.
Reasoning effort Model default Overrides the selected advisor model's reasoning effort. Available only when the model supports selectable effort.

The advisor is not available in plan mode or to subagents. Failed advisor invocations refund the per-turn budget.

The same configuration is available at:

  • PUT /api/v2/chats/config/advisor
