Bobby Ho fbac602456 feat!: add admin-controlled dynamic client registration toggle (#27316)
`POST /oauth2/register` (RFC 7591 Dynamic Client Registration) has
exactly one gate today: `ExperimentOAuth2`, a static, process-lifetime
flag that wraps the entire `/oauth2/*` route tree as an all-or-nothing
switch. That flag is scheduled for removal at GA, which would leave DCR
with zero admin control at all once it is gone.

Add a persistent, DCR-specific `oauth2_dcr_enabled` deployment setting,
independent of the experiment system, so admin control over DCR survives
GA. `POST /oauth2/register` checks the flag and rejects new
registrations with an RFC 7591-shaped `403` when disabled; discovery
metadata (`GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`) conditionally
omits `registration_endpoint`. A new audited `GET`/`PUT
/api/v2/oauth2-provider/settings` endpoint lets an owner toggle it live,
no restart required. The setting defaults to disabled, matching the
canonical design proposal; disabling only stops new self-registrations,
clients that already registered continue to authorize and exchange
tokens normally.

Address issue described in
[ENG-3056](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/ENG-3056/oauth2-dcr-admin-configurable-enabledisable).

## Where this sits in the request path

```mermaid

    autonumber
    participant A as Admin
    participant S as coderd
    participant DB as site_configs<br/>(oauth2_dcr_enabled)
    participant C as OAuth2/MCP Client

    Note over A,S: Admin toggles DCR (new)
    A->>S: PUT /api/v2/oauth2-provider/settings<br/>{dynamic_client_registration_enabled: false}
    S->>S: authorizeContext(ActionUpdate, ResourceDeploymentConfig)
    S->>DB: UPSERT oauth2_dcr_enabled = false
    S-->>A: 200 OK (audited)

    Note over C,S: Client discovery + registration afterward
    C->>S: GET /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
    S->>DB: GetOAuth2DCREnabled (system ctx, every request, no cache)
    DB-->>S: false
    S-->>C: 200 metadata, registration_endpoint omitted

    C->>S: POST /oauth2/register
    S->>DB: GetOAuth2DCREnabled (system ctx, every request, no cache)
    DB-->>S: false
    S-->>C: 403 invalid_request,<br/>"Dynamic client registration is disabled"

    Note over C,S: A client that registered before the change is unaffected
    C->>S: GET /oauth2/authorize?client_id=...
    Note over S: no DCR-enabled check on this path
    S-->>C: 200 (proceeds normally)

    C->>S: PUT/DELETE /oauth2/clients/{client_id} (RFC 7592 self-management)
    Note over S: no DCR-enabled check on this path either
    S-->>C: 200 (proceeds normally)
```

## Files changed: manual vs. generated

Reviewers should focus on the **manual** files. The **generated** ones
are `make gen` output that follows mechanically from the manual changes
and don't need direct review.

<details>
<summary><b>Manual files (26)</b> — click to expand, grouped the same
way as "Suggested review order" below</summary>

**1. Database**

| File | What changed |
|---|---|
| `coderd/database/queries/siteconfig.sql` | New
`GetOAuth2DCREnabled`/`UpsertOAuth2DCREnabled` query pair on the
existing generic `site_configs` table. No schema change. |
| `coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz.go` | RBAC check
(`rbac.ResourceDeploymentConfig`) on the two new query methods; extends
the `subjectSystemOAuth2` system-actor role with read-only
`ResourceDeploymentConfig` access, needed so the public
discovery/registration endpoints can read the flag via
`dbauthz.AsSystemOAuth2`. |
| `coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz_test.go` | RBAC assertion coverage
for `GetOAuth2DCREnabled`/`UpsertOAuth2DCREnabled` in the
method-coverage test suite. |

**2. Request gating (the actual feature)**

| File | What changed |
|---|---|
| `coderd/oauth2provider/registration.go` | The actual gate:
`CreateDynamicClientRegistration` reads the flag first and returns an
RFC 7591-shaped `403` when disabled (defaults disabled if never
configured). |
| `coderd/oauth2provider/registration_test.go` | New unit test,
`TestCreateDynamicClientRegistration_DCREnabled`: calls the handler
directly (no HTTP server), covering enabled / explicitly disabled /
never-configured. |
| `coderd/oauth2provider/metadata.go` | `GetAuthorizationServerMetadata`
conditionally omits `registration_endpoint` from discovery metadata when
DCR is disabled. |
| `coderd/oauth2provider/metadata_test.go` | New unit test,
`TestGetAuthorizationServerMetadata_DCREnabled`: same three states, for
the discovery handler. |

**3. Admin settings endpoint**

| File | What changed |
|---|---|
| `codersdk/oauth2.go` | New `OAuth2ProviderSettings` SDK type plus
`Client.OAuth2ProviderSettings`/`PutOAuth2ProviderSettings` methods. |
| `coderd/oauth2.go` | New
`oauth2ProviderSettings`/`putOAuth2ProviderSettings` admin handlers
(audited via `audit.InitRequest`); updates the
`GetAuthorizationServerMetadata` call site to pass `api.Database`. |
| `coderd/coderd.go` | Registers `GET`/`PUT
/api/v2/oauth2-provider/settings`. |
| `coderd/oauth2_provider_settings_test.go` | New test file: admin
`GET`/`PUT` round-trip, default-disabled-before-any-`PUT`, and `403` for
a non-owner on both `GET` and `PUT`. |

**4. Audit wiring**

| File | What changed |
|---|---|
| `coderd/database/types.go` | New `database.OAuth2ProviderSettings`
audit-only struct (mirrors `NotificationsSettings`). |
| `coderd/audit/diff.go` | Adds the new struct to the `Auditable` type
union. |
| `coderd/audit/request.go` | Adds the new struct to all four dispatch
switches (`ResourceTarget`, `ResourceID`, `ResourceType`,
`ResourceRequiresOrgID`). |
| `codersdk/audit.go` | New API-facing
`ResourceTypeOAuth2ProviderSettings` constant and its `FriendlyString`
case. |
| `enterprise/audit/table.go` | Field-level audit action map
(`ActionTrack`/`ActionIgnore`) for the new struct. |
|
`coderd/database/migrations/000546_audit_oauth2_provider_settings.up.sql`
| Adds `oauth2_provider_settings` to the `resource_type` Postgres enum,
required for the audit wiring above (`resource_type` is a real enum, not
a Go-only value). |
|
`coderd/database/migrations/000546_audit_oauth2_provider_settings.down.sql`
| No-op (`ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE` can't be reverted). |

**5. Test-suite ripple from the disabled-by-default flip**

| File | What changed |
|---|---|
| `coderd/oauth2provider/oauth2providertest/helpers.go` | New shared
test helper, `EnableDCR`, since DCR now defaults to disabled and many
pre-existing tests need it turned on to register a client. |
| `coderd/oauth2_test.go` | Adds
`TestOAuth2DynamicClientRegistrationDisabled` (registers a client,
disables DCR, verifies new registration is rejected while the existing
client's self-management, authorize, and token exchange all keep
working); calls `EnableDCR` in every pre-existing test that registers a
client. |
| `coderd/oauth2_error_compliance_test.go` | Calls `EnableDCR` in every
test that registers a client, so RFC-error-format assertions aren't
masked by the new disabled-by-default gate. |
| `coderd/oauth2_metadata_validation_test.go` | Same: `EnableDCR` added
to every registration-dependent test. |
| `coderd/oauth2_security_test.go` | Same. |
| `coderd/oauth2provider/validation_test.go` | Same (near-duplicate of
`oauth2_metadata_validation_test.go` in a different package). |
| `coderd/oauth2provider/provider_test.go` | Same. |
| `coderd/mcp/mcp_e2e_test.go` | Same, for the MCP end-to-end
dynamic-registration flow test. |

## Suggested review order

### 1. Database

Establishes the persisted setting and its RBAC rule; everything else
builds on `GetOAuth2DCREnabled`/`UpsertOAuth2DCREnabled`.

1. `coderd/database/queries/siteconfig.sql` — the two new queries. Same
boolean-encoding pattern as the existing
`oauth2_github_default_eligible` key right above them in the same file.
2. `coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz.go` — the RBAC wrapper for those two
queries, plus the `subjectSystemOAuth2` role extension (search this file
for `ResourceDeploymentConfig`, it appears in both spots).
3. `coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz_test.go` — asserts the RBAC checks
from (2) actually fire.

### 2. Request gating (the actual feature)

Where `POST /oauth2/register` and discovery metadata change behavior.

1. `coderd/oauth2provider/registration.go` — the primary gate. Read this
first; it's the feature.
2. `coderd/oauth2provider/registration_test.go` — its new unit test,
exercising the gate's three states directly against the handler.
3. `coderd/oauth2provider/metadata.go` — the same gating pattern applied
to the discovery `GET` endpoint.
4. `coderd/oauth2provider/metadata_test.go` — its new unit test.

### 3. Admin settings endpoint

How an owner flips the setting live.

1. `codersdk/oauth2.go` — the `OAuth2ProviderSettings` SDK type and
`Client` methods first; this is the public contract everything below
implements against.
2. `coderd/oauth2.go` — the `GET`/`PUT` handlers themselves.
3. `coderd/coderd.go` — route registration, to see where those handlers
get wired in.
4. `coderd/oauth2_provider_settings_test.go` — round-trip and permission
tests.

### 4. Audit wiring

Plumbing required so step 3's `PUT` is auditable; mechanical except for
(3).

1. `coderd/database/types.go` — the audit-only struct; everything else
in this layer exists to plumb it through.
2. `coderd/audit/diff.go` — adds it to the `Auditable` type union (the
compiler enforces this one).
3. `coderd/audit/request.go` — the four dispatch switches; the one part
of this layer worth reading closely.
4. `codersdk/audit.go` — the API-facing resource type constant.
5. `enterprise/audit/table.go` — the field-action map.
6.
`coderd/database/migrations/000546_audit_oauth2_provider_settings.{up,down}.sql`
— read last; a consequence of needing a new `resource_type` enum value
for (1)-(5), not a design decision of its own.

### 5. Test-suite ripple from the disabled-by-default flip

1. `coderd/oauth2provider/oauth2providertest/helpers.go` — the new
`EnableDCR` helper. Read first to understand the fix pattern before
seeing it applied repeatedly.
2. `coderd/oauth2_test.go` — next, since it also contains the new
`TestOAuth2DynamicClientRegistrationDisabled`, not just `EnableDCR` call
sites.
3. The rest, in any order, they're mechanical repeats of the same
one-line addition: `coderd/oauth2_error_compliance_test.go`,
`coderd/oauth2_metadata_validation_test.go`,
`coderd/oauth2_security_test.go`,
`coderd/oauth2provider/validation_test.go`,
`coderd/oauth2provider/provider_test.go`, `coderd/mcp/mcp_e2e_test.go`.

## Explicitly out of scope

Per the design proposal: rate limiting on `POST /oauth2/register`
(tracked separately), retroactively affecting already-registered clients
when DCR is disabled (this only gates new self-registration), and an
Initial Access Token requirement (a separate, follow-up ticket).
