Split out of #28045 ([PLAT-479](https://linear.app/codercom/issue/PLAT-479)) so the coverage rules can be reviewed on their own. First of three. No behavior change: both functions are added without production callers, and the OAuth2 authorize endpoint consumes them in the next PR. **ScopesCover(allowed, requested)** reports whether every permission the request grants is also granted by the allowlist. It expands both sides and compares permissions rather than names, so coder:workspaces.access covers workspace:read without ever naming it. The fail-closed rules are the part worth reviewing: - Coverage models site-level grants only. A scope carrying org or user permissions, a negative permission, or a narrowed allow list is refused on either side rather than compared on the part that is modeled. Answering "covered" from the fraction that was read would report authority that was never examined. - An unknown name on either side is an error, not a false, since a caller cannot tell "not covered" apart from "could not decide". - A wildcard request is covered only by a wildcard grant. Enumerating every workspace action that exists today does not cover workspace:*, because the wildcard also authorizes the actions added tomorrow. **CanonicalScopeName** maps the aliases IsExternalScope accepts, all and application_connect, onto the api_key_scope enum spellings. IsExternalScope answers whether a name may be requested, not how it is spelled once persisted, so anything storing a validated name has to canonicalize in between. Both sides of ScopesCover must already be canonical, which its parameter names restate at every call site. Covered by 17 coverage cases, guard cases that drive each unmodeled shape through both sides of the comparison, and an exhaustive sweep over the external catalog: coder:all covers all of it, and every catalog name covers itself. Stack: this PR, then negotiate and persist the scope, then the consent page and invalid_scope redirect. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
Check out our install guides for other methods and a complete tutorial.
Try Coder with the install script on Linux and macOS, or grab the latest binary or installer from GitHub Releases on Windows:
curl -L https://coder.com/install.sh | sh
Start the server and open http://localhost:3000 to create your initial user, create a Docker template, and provision your first workspace:
coder server
For a production deployment, add a PostgreSQL database (version 13 or later) and an external access URL, and see our validated architectures for sizing and infrastructure guidance:
coder server --postgres-url <url> --access-url <url>
Without these flags, Coder uses a built-in database and sets up a *.try.coder.app access URL for evaluation. Use coder --help for the full list of flags and environment variables.
