## 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.
