Michael Suchacz 8ea2586189 feat: add chat lifecycle hook dispatch backend (#27401)
Adds the chat lifecycle hook wire contract and dispatch plumbing, first
PR of the lifecycle hooks stack (followed by #27428, #27429, #27430).

- `codersdk/x/agenthooks`: event and response wire types, JWT creation
and verification with the shared secret (HS256, request body digest,
expiry and not-before freshness checks), and an HTTP handler helper so
consumers only implement the events they use. The `codersdk/x` location
marks the consumer SDK as experimental.
- `coderd/x/agenthooks/dispatch`: a stateless dispatcher that signs and
posts hook events, enforces a concurrency cap under one configured
timeout that bounds both the capacity wait and both post attempts,
retries one connection failure with the same JWT, sends a distinctive
`coderd-agenthooks/<version>` User-Agent, and records Prometheus
metrics. Delivery is at least once; consumers own durable decision
state, audit records, and deduplication keyed by the stable payload
identifiers. Nothing is persisted by Coder.
- Response bodies decode strictly: unknown fields, duplicate JSON keys
(including inside `input_override`), and trailing data fail the dispatch
closed as protocol errors instead of silently reading as allow.
- `coderd/util/xnet`: shared timeout and connection error classification
used by the dispatcher retry logic. Transient HTTP/2 stream aborts count
as connection errors, so the documented single retry also applies to h2
consumers, which is the shape Go's default transport negotiates against
any TLS consumer. Deterministic protocol failures stay terminal. Only
the struct form of a stream error is matched, because `net/http` bundles
its own HTTP/2 types and `h2_error.go` bridges only that shape.
- `scripts/agenthooks-server`: a reference consumer that logs events and
demonstrates consumer-owned pre-tool decision deduplication. It requires
an explicitly configured JWT audience rather than deriving one from the
request, and its startup output names the mode it is running in so an
operator can see that the example policy flags need `-log-only=false`.
- `scripts/apitypings`: generate TypeScript types for the hook wire
contract.

Dispatch failures log without the error's stack frames, since a failed
dispatch is an expected, operator-visible condition.

Nothing dispatches these events yet; chatd wiring lands in #27429.

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.
