## What Adds `client_session_id` correlation to coderd's HTTP request handling, per the [Connection log collection and correlation RFC](https://www.notion.so/coderhq/Connection-log-collection-and-correlation-36ed579be5928025a56cd11fe58661fb). Clients attach a per-session correlation ID to every API request via W3C baggage using the `client_session_id` key. This change makes coderd's tracing middleware read that baggage member and: - add `client_session_id` to the **per-request log context** so all logs for a request (and the handlers it calls) can be correlated by a single ID, and - set `client_session_id` as a **span attribute** when tracing is enabled. Per RFC requirement 6.1, the value is added to the log context **even when tracing is disabled** (the middleware previously returned early when no tracer provider was configured, so baggage was never read). The `client_session_id` is validated as a 32-character hexadecimal string (a 16-byte value, per RFC requirement 1) to guard against logging arbitrary client-controlled baggage values. ## Scope This is `DEVEX-659` and is intentionally limited to the coderd tracing middleware. It is the first piece of a stack: the web terminal client change (`DEVEX-663`) that generates and sends the `client_session_id` will be stacked on top of this PR. No client currently sends `client_session_id` baggage, so this change is a no-op until the client work lands. ## Testing - `coderd/tracing`: new unit tests cover `validSessionID`, baggage extraction (`sessionIDFromHeaders`), and the middleware end to end, asserting `client_session_id` lands on the log context with tracing enabled **and** disabled, is exposed as a span attribute when tracing is enabled, and that absent/malformed baggage is ignored. - Existing `Test_Middleware` route-matching behavior is unchanged. <details> <summary>Design notes / decision log</summary> - **Where the value is read:** the existing `tracing.Middleware` runs high in the coderd middleware stack (`coderd/coderd.go`), before request-id and request-logger middleware, and already matches the `/api`, `/api/**`, app proxy, and external-auth routes. Reading baggage here means the `client_session_id` is on the context before the request logger and handlers run, so it flows into all downstream `slog` calls that use the request context. This mirrors the existing `request_id` pattern in `httpmw.AttachRequestID` (`slog.With(ctx, ...)` + span attribute). - **Works when tracing is off:** the middleware now gates only on the route matcher, extracts baggage and adds `client_session_id` to the log context for all matched routes, and only then branches on whether a tracer is configured. When a tracer is present, `client_session_id` is additionally set as a span attribute. - **Explicit baggage propagator:** extraction uses `propagation.Baggage{}` directly rather than the global text map propagator, so it does not depend on the global propagator being configured (also makes it deterministic in tests). - **Validation:** only a 32-char hex string is accepted (lower or upper case). Malformed values are dropped rather than logged, preventing log/attribute pollution from arbitrary client-supplied baggage. - **Out of scope for this PR (tracked elsewhere):** client generation/sending of `client_session_id` (`DEVEX-663`, web terminal), the equivalent agent-side middleware (RFC 6.2), `connection_logs.client_session_id` (RFC 12), and additional connection state-change logging (RFC 7-13). </details> --- _Opened by Coder Agents on behalf of @aqandrew._
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
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.
