Ethan f32592ec6b feat!: scope chat model configs to organizations (#27955)
## Summary

Scope chat model configurations and runtime model resolution to
organizations. Each model configuration now belongs to exactly one
organization, each organization can have its own default model, and
Chatd only uses models that belong to the chat's organization.

Depends on #27968.

## Problem

Chat model configurations are currently deployment-wide even though
chats belong to organizations. A default model, explicitly selected
model, or configured model override can therefore reference the same
model configuration from every organization. This prevents model
catalogs and defaults from being isolated by organization and allows a
chat to retain or select a model that its organization does not own.

Existing model configurations also have no organization ownership or
organization-scoped ACL data, and the database enforces a single live
default across the entire deployment.

## Fix

Add required organization ownership and ACL storage to chat model
configurations. The migration assigns every existing configuration to
the default organization, seeds organization-wide read access, and
replaces the deployment-wide default constraint with a per-organization
constraint.

Scope Chatd lookup, admission, fallback, and queue-promotion behavior to
the chat's organization:

- New chats use the usable default model from their organization.
- Explicit model selections from another organization are rejected.
- Deployment or personal overrides that point to a foreign model are not
used for the chat.
- Historical cross-organization model references remain unchanged in the
database, but runtime generation falls back to a usable local default.
- Queue promotion resolves unavailable, disabled, missing, or foreign
stored models to the usable local default and fails when no usable local
default exists.

The existing model configuration management and availability routes
remain compatibility routes for the default organization in this layer.
A later layer in the stack adds organization-scoped management routes
and updates clients to use them.

## Breaking change

This changes chat model behavior from deployment-wide to
organization-scoped. Existing configurations are migrated only to the
default organization; they are not copied into every organization.

As a result:

- A non-default organization no longer inherits the deployment's
existing default model.
- Creating a chat in an organization without a usable local default
fails with `400: No default chat model config is configured.`
- Explicitly selecting a configuration owned by another organization
fails with `400: Model config does not belong to the specified
organization.`
- Existing chats whose stored model belongs to another organization can
generate only if a usable local default is available; otherwise
generation fails.

Deployments using Agents in non-default organizations must configure a
usable default chat model separately for each organization after the
organization-scoped management layers in this stack are available.

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.
