Fixes#22030
## Problem
When a template has `require_active_version = true` and a workspace is
outdated, the web UI always shows "Update and start" as the **only**
button (for all users including admins), but `coder start` starts with
the old version. For admins, this silently succeeds on the stale
version. For non-admins, it goes through a clunky 403→retry path. This
also affects the VS Code extension, which calls `coder start --yes`
under the hood.
## Root Cause
`buildWorkspaceStartRequest()` in `cli/start.go` checks
`workspace.AutomaticUpdates == "always"` but ignores
`workspace.TemplateRequireActiveVersion`. The server-side autostart
already ORs both settings together:
```go
// coderd/autobuild/lifecycle_executor.go
func useActiveVersion(opts, ws) bool {
return opts.RequireActiveVersion || ws.AutomaticUpdates == "always"
}
```
The CLI was missing the `RequireActiveVersion` check.
## Fix
Add `workspace.TemplateRequireActiveVersion` to the existing OR
condition:
```go
// Before:
if workspace.AutomaticUpdates == codersdk.AutomaticUpdatesAlways || action == WorkspaceUpdate {
// After:
if workspace.AutomaticUpdates == codersdk.AutomaticUpdatesAlways || workspace.TemplateRequireActiveVersion || action == WorkspaceUpdate {
```
Now `coder start` and `coder restart` proactively use the active
template version when `require_active_version` is set, matching the web
UI and server autostart behavior. The 403→retry fallback remains as a
safety net but is no longer the primary path for any user.
## Testing
Updated `enterprise/cli/start_test.go` — all user types (owner, template
admin, ACL admin, group ACL admin, member) now expect the active version
when `require_active_version` is set, and verify the 403→retry message
does NOT appear.

NOTE: calling this out as a breaking change so that it is highly visible
in the changelog.
* CLI: Modifies `coder update` to stop the workspace if already running.
* UI: Modifies "update" button to always stop the workspace if already
running.
* Updated testingWithOwnerUser ruleguard rule to detect:
a) Passing client from coderdenttest.New() to clitest.SetupConfig() similar to what already exists for AGPL code
b) Usage of any method of the owner client from coderdenttest.New() - all usages of the owner client must be justified with a `//nolint:gocritic` comment.
* Fixed resulting linter complaints.
* Added new coderdtest helpers CreateGroup and UpdateTemplateMeta.
* Modified check_enterprise_import.sh to ignore scripts/rules.go.
