Closes [CODAGT-632](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/CODAGT-632/gray-out-the-archive-chat-button-when-chat-is-running). The chatd state machine only permits archiving a chat family from idle execution states (`waiting`/`error`); archiving an active chat fails with HTTP 409. The agents UI still offered "Archive agent" and "Archive & delete workspace" for active chats, and `AgentsPageLayout` showed a confirm dialog claiming "Archiving it will interrupt the current run", which is no longer true: confirming just surfaced the 409 error toast. ## Changes - `ChatActionsMenuItems` gains a `chatFamilyAllowsArchive` helper mirroring the backend rule: archive is allowed only when the root chat and every embedded child are `waiting`/`error` (archive cascades atomically over the family, so an active child also rejects it). Unknown status stays fail-open with the server 409 as backstop. A new `isArchiveBlocked` prop disables both archive items; unarchive, pin, and rename are unaffected. - While blocked, the menu shows a visible hint ("Interrupt or wait for the agent to finish first.") and both disabled items reference it via `aria-describedby`. - Sidebar rows (`ChatTreeNode`, covering the dropdown and the right-click context menu) gate on the chat list record, which watch events already keep fresh. The chat top bar gates on the live stream status (`liveChatStatus`) plus the same list record's children, passed through the layout outlet context, so all three menus read one live source and re-evaluate without a reload. - Removed the stale "Archive agent?" interrupt-confirm dialog and its pending-state plumbing from `AgentsPageLayout`; archive now mutates directly. - "Archive & delete workspace" is now archive-first: the archive call is the atomic server-side eligibility check and completes before the destructive delete, so a chat that becomes active mid-flow can never lose its workspace. On delete failure the chat deliberately stays archived, with no compensating unarchive: the delete outcome can be ambiguous client-side (a late 5xx can arrive after the delete build committed), so restoring the chat could resurrect it while its workspace is being deleted. Instead the mutation refetches all chat collections on any failure and the toast directs the user to the archived filter, where Unarchive is one click. This is a deliberate departure from the self-restoring retry surface of #26900. The workspace-deletion confirm dialog is unchanged. ## Scope The client gate is best-effort UX; the server-side 409 is the correctness backstop. Rare staleness (a chat outside the loaded sidebar pages, events missed across a socket reconnect) leaves the actions enabled and the server rejects the request with the existing error toast. Cache-coherency hardening for those windows was deliberately removed to keep the change proportionate to the defect. ## Testing - Storybook play stories: disabled archive items with the accessible hint for an active chat and for an idle parent with a running child; enabled items for an idle chat; in the top bar menu and the sidebar dropdown/context menu (`ChatTopBar.stories.tsx`, `ChatsSidebar.stories.tsx`). - Unit tests: archive-first ordering, delete failures keep the chat archived and rethrow (`agentWorkspaceUtils.test.ts`). - `pnpm -C site check`, `pnpm -C site lint:types`, whole-file vitest runs for every touched test/story file. - Remote dogfood UAT on a deployment built from this branch: archive items disabled while running and in `requires_action`, re-enabled live on transition to `waiting`, archive works from `waiting` and `error` with no confirm dialog, unarchive unaffected. > Shux acted on Mike's behalf to create this pull request.
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.
