Adds an audit record for administrative events on the deployment-wide
chat instruction settings (system prompt, the include-default toggle,
and the plan-mode instructions), per CODAGT-719 and operator decision
D5. Each endpoint records under a stable identity: resource type
`chat_instruction_settings`, a fixed resource ID and a human-readable
target ("System prompt", "Plan mode instructions"), so two changes to
one setting share an ID and history-by-setting works. A real change
exports a Write entry with the old-to-new text visible; a
value-identical PUT still upserts and still returns 204 but records
nothing.
Attempts are recorded, not only transitions. Identity is assigned before
the authorization check, so a denied PUT exports a 403 row with an empty
diff (no request content reaches it), a validation failure exports a 400
row, and a write failure exports a 500 row, each with an empty diff; an
operator can tell "nothing changed" from "something changed and capture
degraded" by the status code.
The write path stays authoritative. The advisory lock and, on plan-mode,
the transaction exist only to serve change-detection; if any of that
machinery fails (lock, begin, commit, rollback), the handler runs main's
idempotent write path directly and derives the response from it, so a
member-visible failure of audit-only infrastructure can never replace
main's successful response. Accepted consequence: when the lock cannot
be taken, two concurrent identical writes can produce two rows instead
of one. That is audit degradation, which is allowed; changing a member's
response is not. Write failures keep the exact response the endpoint
produced before this wiring (transaction error for the system prompt,
which was always transactional; the raw write error for plan mode, which
was not), and the full transaction error is logged so rollback failures
cannot vanish.

<summary>CODAGT-66 plan entry: S1 (verbatim)</summary>
**S1 `feat: audit chat system instructions changes`** (CODAGT-719; base:
main)
- Struct: `database.ChatSystemPromptSettings{ID uuid.UUID; SystemPrompt
string; IncludeDefaultSystemPrompt bool; PlanModeInstructions string}`
in `coderd/database/types.go` (ticket-sketched shape; one struct, both
endpoints).
- Registration: union entry (diff.go), table.go entry (`id`
ActionIgnore, other three ActionTrack), `AuditActionMap` Write-only;
four request.go cases (`ResourceTarget` "", `ResourceID` from struct,
`ResourceType` new enum value `chat_system_prompt_settings`,
`ResourceRequiresOrgID` false with the "Artificial ID / deployment
singleton" comment convention).
- Migration: `ALTER TYPE resource_type ADD VALUE IF NOT EXISTS
'chat_system_prompt_settings';` comment-only no-op down (000558 shape);
number picked at push per the numbering constraint.
- codersdk: constant + prose `FriendlyString` ("chat system prompt
settings"); `TestAuditDBEnumsCovered` forces both. `coderd/audit.go`
presentation switches: rely on safe defaults (no link, generic
description); no FE changes (filter label falls back to capitalized
value; acceptable per precedent).
- Wiring `putChatSystemPrompt` and `putChatPlanModeInstructions`:
InitRequest with Action Write; artificial `ID: uuid.New()` on `New` only
when a change is detected; no-op suppression by leaving both aReq sides
unset (nil resource IDs skip the log, request.go skip rule); the write
path itself stays byte-identical (upserts still run unconditionally).
- `putChatSystemPrompt` (writes two keys conditionally in one existing
tx): inside that tx, read the pair via `GetChatSystemPromptConfig` for
`Old`, perform the conditional writes exactly as today, then RE-READ the
pair for `New`. The re-read is load-bearing:
`include_default_system_prompt` is computed from the toggle row AND the
prompt, so a prompt-only write can flip the effective value without the
request carrying the pointer. `PlanModeInstructions` stays zero on both
sides.
- `putChatPlanModeInstructions` (no tx exists today): wrap its
read-upsert in `InTx` (behavior-preserving: same single write);
`Old`/`New` populate only `PlanModeInstructions`; the two system-prompt
fields stay zero on both sides; no cross-key reads.
- Change detection compares the populated payload fields only (never the
artificial ID).
- Tests: handler-level coderdtest with `audit.NewMock()` asserting Write
entry on change and NO entry on a value-identical PUT, for both
endpoints (this also exercises `ResourceRequiresOrgID` end to end); the
fallback-flip case (no explicit include-default row, nonempty prompt set
to empty, effective boolean flips: entry emitted with the boolean diff);
diff assertions (old->new prompt text tracked, not secret) in
`enterprise/audit/diff_internal_test.go`; `TestAuditableResources`
passes by construction.
- Bookkeeping at PR open: correct CODAGT-719's no-op premise ("matches
the existing 204-on-unchanged behavior" does not exist on main;
suppression is new, write path unchanged).
- Review focus: Old capture and the New re-read inside the tx (three of
four existing singletons never set Old; do not copy them; and the
computed include-default value makes a naive New construction wrong);
the skip-on-no-op mechanism; prompt text deliberately visible in diffs.
</details>
Note: the plan excerpt above predates operator decision D5 (2026-07-30),
which this PR implements: the resource type is
`chat_instruction_settings` (not `chat_system_prompt_settings`), each
setting carries a stable ID and a display-name target (not a per-write
artificial ID and an empty target), no-op suppression runs through
`InitRequestWithCancel` (not the nil-ID skip), and attempts (denied,
failed, capture-degraded) record rows with real statuses and empty
diffs. Ticket bookkeeping for CODAGT-719 was corrected on Linear at
kickoff: the ticket's "matches the existing 204-on-unchanged behavior"
premise does not exist on main; suppression is new, and the write path
is unchanged.

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.
