- Adds chat-related dbgen generators covering defaults, overrides, and message field mapping.
- Replaces raw single-row chat, message, provider, and model-config setup in tests with dbgen helpers.
- Simplifies chat seed helpers after moving fixture setup into dbgen.

Add a `chat_client_type` enum (`ui` | `api`) and `client_type` column to
the `chats` table. The column defaults to `api` for new rows so API
callers don't need to set it explicitly. Existing rows are backfilled to
`ui`.
The field flows through `CreateChatRequest`, `chatd.CreateOptions`,
`InsertChat`, and is returned in the `Chat` response via `db2sdk`.

### Changes
**Database migration (000469)**
- New enum `chat_client_type` with values `ui`, `api`.
- New `client_type` column, `NOT NULL DEFAULT 'api'`.
- Backfill: `UPDATE chats SET client_type = 'ui'`.
**SQL query** — `InsertChat` now includes `client_type`.
**SDK** — `ChatClientType` type added; `ClientType` field added to both
`CreateChatRequest` (optional, defaults server-side to `api`) and `Chat`
response.
**Handler** — `postChats` maps the request field (defaulting to `api`)
and passes it through `chatd.CreateOptions`.
**Sub-agent** — Child chats inherit their parent's `client_type`.
**db2sdk** — Maps the database value to the SDK type.
### Decision log
- Default is `api` (not `ui`) so existing API integrations get the
correct value without code changes.
- Backfill sets existing rows to `ui` per requirement.
- Child chats inherit `client_type` from parent rather than defaulting.

Fixes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1436
* Adds organization_id to chats with backfill (workspace org → user org membership → default org)
* No support yet for ACLs (follow-up issue)
- Cross-org workspace binding rejected (both in `CreateChatRequest` and in `create_workspace` tool
- Adds `OrganizationAutocomplete` to `AgentCreateForm`
- Docs updated with `organization_id` in chats-api.md

Adds `coder exp chat context add` and `coder exp chat context clear`
commands that run inside a workspace to manage chat context files via
the agent token.
`add` reads instruction and skill files from a directory (defaulting to
cwd) and inserts them as context-file messages into an active chat.
Multiple calls are additive — `instructionFromContextFiles` already
accumulates all context-file parts across messages.
`clear` soft-deletes all context-file messages, causing
`contextFileAgentID()` to return `!found` on the next turn, which
triggers `needsInstructionPersist=true` and re-fetches defaults from the
agent.
Both commands auto-detect the target chat via `CODER_CHAT_ID` (already
set by `agentproc` on chat-spawned processes), or fall back to
single-active-chat resolution for the agent. The `--chat` flag overrides
both.
Also adds sub-agent context inheritance: `createChildSubagentChat` now
copies parent context-file messages to child chats at spawn time, so
delegated sub-agents share the same instruction context without
independently re-fetching from the workspace agent.
<details><summary>Implementation details</summary>
**New files:**
- `cli/exp_chat.go` — CLI command tree under `coder exp chat context`
**Modified files:**
- `agent/agentcontextconfig/api.go` — `ConfigFromDir()` reads context
from an arbitrary directory without env vars
- `codersdk/agentsdk/agentsdk.go` — `AddChatContext`/`ClearChatContext`
SDK methods
- `coderd/workspaceagents.go` — POST/DELETE handlers on
`/workspaceagents/me/chat-context`
- `coderd/coderd.go` — Route registration
- `coderd/database/queries/chats.sql` — `GetActiveChatsByAgentID`,
`SoftDeleteContextFileMessages`
- `coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz.go` — RBAC implementations for new
queries
- `coderd/x/chatd/subagent.go` — `copyParentContextFiles` for sub-agent
inheritance
- `cli/root.go` — Register `chatCommand()` in `AGPLExperimental()`
**Auth pattern:** Uses `AgentAuth` (same as `coder external-auth`) —
agent token via `CODER_AGENT_TOKEN` + `CODER_AGENT_URL` env vars.
