Kyle Carberry 5040ab6fca feat: filter chats by diff URL via the q search parameter (#24970)
Adds a `diff_url:` term to the `q` search parameter on `GET
/api/experimental/chats` so callers can look up the chat associated with
a particular pull request, merge request, or any other URL persisted on
the chat's diff status.

```
q=diff_url:"https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/123"
```

Match is case-insensitive. When the URL lives on a delegated sub-agent's
diff status, the parent chat is returned so the relationship surfaces
from a single lookup.

<summary>Design notes</summary>

- **Forge-agnostic.** Reuses the existing `chat_diff_statuses.url`
column rather than introducing a `pr:` vocabulary, since the SDK already
documents the URL as "may point to a pull request or a branch page
depending on whether a PR has been opened." Works for GitHub PRs, GitLab
MRs, branch pages, etc.
- **Composes with `archived:`.** The two terms can be combined:
`q=archived:true diff_url:"..."`.
- **Case handling.** The parser used to lowercase the entire `q` string
up front, which would mangle URL path segments. Switched to lowercasing
only the field key inside `searchTerms` (already happens there) and
keeping the value as the caller typed it. The SQL comparison lowercases
on both sides.
- **Validation.** `diff_url` must be a syntactically valid HTTP(S) URL
with a non-empty host. No forge-specific validation.
- **Index.** Adds `idx_chat_diff_statuses_url_lower` on `LOWER(url)` so
the lookup is cheap even on large datasets.
- **Sub-agent fan-in.** `EXISTS` clause matches when the URL lives on
the chat itself or any chat with `root_chat_id` equal to the chat's id,
so a delegated sub-agent's PR pulls in its parent.
- **Deferred.** Sentinels like `pr:any` / `pr:none` and a forge-agnostic
state filter (`diff_state:open|merged|closed`) were intentionally left
out of this change. They couple cleanly to a second forge or a clearer
product call, and shipping them now would lock in vocabulary we may want
to revisit.

</details>

## Tests

- `coderd/searchquery`: parser tests for valid URLs, case handling (key
insensitive, value preserved), composition with `archived:`, and
validation errors (non-HTTP scheme, missing host, malformed URL).
- `coderd/exp_chats_test.go`: end-to-end coverage hitting `ListChats`.
Verifies a root chat matches its own URL, a parent chat surfaces when
only a sub-agent has the URL, lookups are case-insensitive, non-matching
URLs return empty, and invalid URLs return `400`.

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.
