Matt VollmerandNick Vigilante 75e0790cd7 docs: remove beta references from Coder Agents docs and manifest (#27939)
Removes all references to "beta" from the Coder Agents documentation
under `docs/ai-coder/agents/` and the corresponding `"state": ["beta"]`
entries in `docs/manifest.json`. Also updates screenshots, video, and
hero image, and regenerates the auto-generated feature-stages table.

**Beta reference removal:**
- `getting-started.md`: Removed "Coder Agents is in Beta" from the top
note, "is in beta" from the Chats API note, and "during Beta" from the
feedback section. Removed the version/stability note pinning 2.33.1.
- `index.md`: Removed the "Product status" section that stated Coder
Agents is in Beta.
- `manifest.json`: Removed `"state": ["beta"]` from 17 entries for pages
under `docs/ai-coder/agents/`. Preserved all `premium` and `early
access` states.
- `feature-stages.md`: Regenerated the auto-generated beta features
table, which no longer lists Coder Agents.

**Asset updates:**
- `coder-agents-ui.mp4`: Updated demo video on the agents landing page.
- `llm-providers.png`: Updated LLM provider support screenshot.
- `models-list.png`: Updated models list screenshot.
- `models-add-model.png`: Updated add model form screenshot.
- `agents-hero-image.png`: Updated hero image on the `docs/ai-coder`
landing page.

Two references in `models.md` (`v1beta` in the Google Gemini API URL and
`anthropic-beta` in the Anthropic header name) were left unchanged as
they are provider API identifiers, not product status labels.

Virtual desktop

Note

This feature is experimental. Pin a release before broad rollout and review the release notes before upgrading.

Enable the experiment

coder server --experiments=chat-virtual-desktop

Or set the environment variable:

CODER_EXPERIMENTS=chat-virtual-desktop

What it does

Lets agents drive a graphical desktop inside the workspace through spawn_agent with type=computer_use (screenshots, mouse, keyboard).

Configuration

Once the experiment is enabled, configure the computer-use provider under AI Settings > Coder Agents > Virtual desktop.

Choose a Computer use provider (Anthropic or OpenAI). Virtual desktop also requires:

  • The portabledesktop module installed in the workspace template.
  • An API key for the selected provider configured under the Providers tab.

The Anthropic and OpenAI computer-use models are fixed by Coder per provider and are not selectable from this UI. Anthropic is the default when no provider is set.

The same configuration is available at:

  • GET /api/v2/chats/config/computer-use-provider
  • PUT /api/v2/chats/config/computer-use-provider
