Kyle Carberry 385146000b feat: record created_at/completed_at on reasoning ChatMessageParts (#24789)
Records reasoning start and end times on persisted reasoning
`ChatMessagePart`s so reasoning duration can be computed for stored
chats. Backend-only: no SSE changes and no frontend rendering ship in
this PR.

The `created_at` field on `ChatMessagePart` is extended to also be
present on `reasoning` parts (it previously appeared only on `tool-call`
and `tool-result`), and a new `completed_at` field is added for
`reasoning` parts.

### How timestamps are recorded

- `StreamPartTypeReasoningStart`: stamp `startedAt = dbtime.Now()` on
the active reasoning state.
- `StreamPartTypeReasoningEnd`: stamp `completedAt = dbtime.Now()` and
append both into parallel `[]time.Time` slices on `stepResult`.
- Persistence reads the slices in occurrence order (reasoning has no
provider-side ID) and applies them to the matching `ChatMessagePart` via
`buildAssistantPartsForPersist`. The first reasoning block's stamps go
onto the first reasoning part, and so on.
- `flushActiveState` flushes partial reasoning interrupted before
`StreamPartTypeReasoningEnd` with `startedAt` from the active state and
`completedAt = dbtime.Now()` at the interruption.

### Why two fields, not one?

Tool calls and results are point events. The frontend computes their
duration by subtracting the call's `created_at` from the result's
`created_at`. Reasoning is one assistant part that brackets a span, so
we record both endpoints on the part itself.

### Why not stamp in `PartFromContent`?

Same rationale as #24101: `PartFromContent` is called during both SSE
publishing and persistence. Stamping there would yield incorrect
persistence-time timestamps for reasoning blocks that finished much
earlier in the step. Instead we capture in the chatloop and apply during
persistence.

<details><summary>Implementation plan</summary>

- `codersdk/chats.go`: extend `CreatedAt`'s `variants` to include
`reasoning?`; add `CompletedAt *time.Time` with `variants:"reasoning?"`.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop.go`: extend `reasoningState` with
`startedAt`; extend `stepResult` and `PersistedStep` with parallel
`[]time.Time` reasoning slices; stamp on
`ReasoningStart`/`ReasoningEnd`; thread the slices through all
`PersistStep` call sites including the interrupt-safe path; record
partial reasoning in `flushActiveState`.
- `coderd/x/chatd/attachments.go`: walk reasoning parts in occurrence
order and apply `step.ReasoningStartedAt[i]` to `part.CreatedAt` and
`step.ReasoningCompletedAt[i]` to `part.CompletedAt`.

### Tests

- `codersdk/chats_test.go` round-trips `created_at` + `completed_at` on
reasoning parts and verifies omission when absent and partial
interrupted parts.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatprompt/chatprompt_test.go` asserts
`PartFromContent(ReasoningContent{})` does NOT stamp timestamps.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop_test.go`
`TestRun_ReasoningTimestamps` drives a stream with two reasoning blocks
and verifies parallel slices, monotonicity, ordering, non-zero values,
and content-block ordering.
`TestRun_InterruptedReasoningFlushesTimestamps` cancels mid-reasoning
and verifies `flushActiveState` records a non-zero pair.
- `coderd/x/chatd/attachments_test.go` covers
`buildAssistantPartsForPersist` for normal interleaved reasoning,
partial (zero `completed_at`), and missing slices.

Ethan e75bd3aca4 fix: preserve Anthropic replay fidelity (#25377)
Anthropic is strict about replaying the latest assistant turn once it
contains signed or redacted reasoning. We were still mutating that turn
in a few Coder-owned places: dropping empty reasoning blocks on replay,
rewriting provider-tool history during sanitization, and in the worst
case sending a prompt we already knew Anthropic would reject.

This patch keeps the latest signed assistant immutable through Coder's
replay and sanitization paths, preserves empty signed or redacted
reasoning anywhere Coder owns the ledger, and fails before the provider
call if the prompt is still unsafe.

It also bumps the existing `coder/fantasy` `coder_2_33` fork that `main`
already uses to the commit containing coder/fantasy#35. These fixes have
also been upstreamed to charmbracelet/fantasy.

Closes CODAGT-409.

Kyle Carberry 376fc80451 fix(coderd/x/chatd): discover workspace MCP tools mid-turn after create_workspace (#25169)
## Problem

In `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` `runChat`, workspace MCP discovery is gated
on `chat.WorkspaceID.Valid` at the start of each turn. New chats that
bind their workspace mid-turn (via `create_workspace` or
`start_workspace`) get an empty workspace tool list on the first step,
and the model falls back to `execute` (bash) because no workspace MCP
tools are advertised.

**Repro:** new chat → "create a workspace and use MCP tools". No
`/api/v0/mcp/tools` request hits the agent on turn 1; turn 2 in the same
chat works fine.

## Fix

- Add a `PrepareTools` callback to `chatloop.RunOptions`, analogous to
`PrepareMessages`. It is invoked once before each LLM step with the
current tool list. When it returns non-nil, the chatloop replaces
`opts.Tools`, rebuilds the per-step tool definitions, and appends new
tool names to `opts.ActiveTools` so newly injected tools are callable
immediately.
- Wire `PrepareTools` in `runChat` to trigger workspace MCP discovery
the first time the chat snapshot reports a valid `WorkspaceID`. The
previous top-of-turn discovery path is unchanged for chats that start
with a workspace.
- Extract the discovery logic into `Server.discoverWorkspaceMCPTools` so
the top-of-turn and mid-turn paths share identical behavior (cache,
agent resolution, `ListMCPTools` timeout, invalidation).

Mid-turn discovery stays disabled in plan-mode turns and Explore
subagents, matching the existing top-of-turn gate. The
`workspaceMCPDiscovered` flag prevents redundant dials after the first
successful discovery.

## Tests

- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop_test.go`: two new
`TestRun_PrepareTools*` cases covering injection on the next step and
active-set merging when `ActiveTools` is non-empty.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatd_test.go`:
`TestRunChat_WorkspaceMCPDiscoveryAfterMidTurnCreateWorkspace` drives
`runChat` through a `create_workspace` tool call against a real Postgres
+ mocked agent conn and asserts the second streamed LLM request
advertises the workspace MCP tool. Verified that the test fails (and
pinpoints the missing tool) when the `PrepareTools` wiring is disabled.

## Validation

```
go test ./coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/... -count=1
go test ./coderd/x/chatd/... -count=1
make lint/emdash
```

<details>
<summary>Decision log</summary>

- Chose a per-step `PrepareTools` callback over mutating `opts.Tools` in
place because `chatloop.Run` builds the `fantasy.Tool` definitions once
at start; a hook is required to let the LLM see new tools on the next
step.
- Returned `[]fantasy.AgentTool` (not also active-tool-names) and let
the chatloop derive name merges via `mergeNewToolNames`. This avoids
leaking plan-mode gating decisions into the callback contract.
- Kept the existing top-of-turn discovery path so chats that already
have a workspace at turn start pay no extra latency.
- Skipped reusing `ReloadMessages` (history reload) since this is purely
a tool-availability concern; coupling it to a history reload would
defeat the chatloop cache prefix optimizations.

Cian Johnston e8508b2d90 fix: recover chatd from poisoned chain anchor on retry (#25097)
When OpenAI's Responses API returns `Previous response with id ... not
found` for a chained turn, classify it as a `ChainBroken` retry, clear
`previous_response_id`, exit chain mode, reload full history, and let
`chatretry` retry. Self-heals chats whose anchor was poisoned before
#25074 stopped truncated streams from being persisted as a successful
turn with a stored response id.

The new state is exposed via the existing
`coderd_chatd_stream_retries_total` counter as a
`chain_broken="true"|"false"` label. Aggregating queries (`sum`, `rate`
over `provider`/`model`/`kind`) keep working without changes; raw-series
matchers without aggregation will now see two series per `(provider,
model, kind)` where they previously saw one. The metric is internal-only
so the blast radius should be small, but if you have dashboards that
index by exact label matchers without aggregation they will need an
extra `sum` or an explicit `chain_broken` selector.

Ethan 46a60e6d5d refactor: move chat error kinds into codersdk (#24955)
Moves the chat error kind taxonomy from `coderd/x/chatd/chaterror` into
`codersdk.ChatErrorKind` and types `ChatError.Kind` /
`ChatStreamRetry.Kind` so generated TypeScript exposes an SDK-owned
union, including `usage_limit`. Backend chat classification now
references the SDK constants directly while preserving the existing JSON
string values.

Keeps chat usage-limit admission failures on their existing 409 response
shape. The frontend maps structured usage-limit responses to the
SDK-owned `usage_limit` kind, uses generated `TypesGen.ChatErrorKind`
directly, and removes the local string union and alias.

Michael Suchacz 0bb09935bc feat: add computer-use provider selection for AI agents (#24772)
Adds a deployment-wide setting to select the computer-use provider
(Anthropic or OpenAI) for AI agents, plus the OpenAI computer-use runner
needed to honor that selection.

The setting is stored in `site_configs` under
`agents_computer_use_provider`, defaults to Anthropic when unset, and is
exposed via experimental GET/PUT endpoints under
`/api/experimental/chats/config/computer-use-provider`. The chatd
computer-use tool now dispatches to either `runAnthropicComputerUse` or
`runOpenAIComputerUse` based on the resolved provider, with
provider-specific result metadata for OpenAI screenshots.

Frontend adds a provider dropdown to the Agents Experiments settings
page nested under the virtual desktop toggle, with disabled state
handling while virtual desktop is off and skeleton loaders while config
queries are in flight.

Hugo and Codex review follow-up:
- Uses shared provider validation and clearer computer-use constant
names.
- Removes stale OpenAI pending-safety-checks commentary.
- Documents why provider result metadata is needed for OpenAI
screenshots.
- Keeps the computer-use subagent visible when provider credentials are
missing, then returns a clear spawn-time configuration error.
- Uses OpenAI's recommended 1600x900 screenshot geometry to preserve the
native 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Moves OpenAI-specific computer-use helpers into
`coderd/x/chatd/chatopenai/computeruse` after rebasing onto the provider
package refactor in `main`.
- Converts OpenAI pixel scroll deltas to Coder desktop wheel-click
amounts.
- Preserves OpenAI pointer modifiers with key down/up desktop actions
and rejects unsupported non-left double-click buttons explicitly.
- Maps OpenAI back/forward side-button clicks to browser navigation key
actions.
- Defaults omitted OpenAI click buttons to left-click.
- Retries mouse release cleanup if the final OpenAI drag release fails.
- Keeps computer-use subagent availability messages stable when provider
config cannot be loaded, while logging the backend error.
- Releases remaining OpenAI modifier keys if a synthetic key-up cleanup
action fails.
- Updates Storybook interaction stories so provider snapshots show the
selected final provider.

Michael Suchacz 203b0a9df8 refactor(coderd/x/chatd): extract OpenAI logic into chatopenai package (#24788)
Extracts OpenAI-specific logic from `coderd/x/chatd` into
`coderd/x/chatd/chatopenai` so the main chat path no longer references
`fantasyopenai` directly for chain mode info, response IDs, web search
tooling, or option mapping.

Structural refactor. The only deliberate behavioral narrowing is
consolidating Responses store checks and related keyed option or
metadata access on `opts[fantasyopenai.Name]`. That is documented by
`TestIsResponsesStoreEnabledIgnoresMalformedNonOpenAIKey` and is
unreachable in production where Responses options always live under
`fantasyopenai.Name`.

Summary:

- Moves OpenAI Responses chain mode info, response ID helpers, web
search tool construction, and provider option conversion into
`chatopenai`.
- Keeps Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, and Vercel provider branches as
thin, existing code paths.
- `chatopenai` only imports `chatprompt` from chatd subpackages. It does
not import `chatd`, `chatloop`, `chatprovider`, or `chaterror`.
- Follow-up review fixes align helper names, keyed provider option
access, map cloning behavior, and PR documentation with the extracted
package boundary.
- Final sweep trims unused chain-mode state, removes a duplicate
store-check test case, drops an unused provider-tool parameter, and
shares the chat-message test helper through `chattest`.

Thomas Kosiewski a84534315c feat(coderd/x/chatd/chatloop): add exclusive tool execution policy (#24619)
## Summary

Introduce an **exclusive-tool execution policy** in `chatloop.Run()` so that a designated "planning-only" tool can never execute in the same batch as any other locally executed tool. This is the generic foundation for the advisor tool landed in the stacked PRs above.

## Motivation

The advisor tool (stacked on top) is intentionally a pre-action planning step. It must be consulted *alone*, not interleaved with side-effecting tools, so the model has to reason strategically before committing to actions. Rather than building advisor-specific plumbing into `chatloop`, this PR adds a small, general-purpose policy hook that any future tool can opt into.

## Changes

- `RunOptions.ExclusiveToolNames map[string]bool` declares which tool names must run exclusively within a single tool-execution batch.
- `executeTools()` detects mixed batches: if any exclusive tool name appears next to any other locally executed tool, no tool runs. Instead, structured `ToolResultOutputContentError` entries are synthesized for every tool in the batch so the model can cleanly retry.
- Deterministic, model-facing error copy:
  - Exclusive tool gets: "must be called by itself before action tools".
  - Sibling tools get: "skipped because `<exclusive>` must run alone".
- New tests in `chatloop_test.go` cover: single exclusive batch runs normally, mixed batch returns policy errors and executes nothing, non-exclusive batches are untouched.

## Stack context

This is **PR 1 of 6** in the advisor feature stack.

<summary>📋 Implementation Plan (shared across the advisor stack)</summary>

# Plan: Add a Mux-style advisor tool to coder agents/chatd

## Outcome

Add a first-class `advisor` tool to agent chats in `coderd/x/chatd` that feels native to Coder:

- it is a built-in server-side tool, not an MCP/dynamic-tool workaround;
- it performs a nested **tool-less** model call for strategic advice;
- it is exposed only when eligible, and the prompt mentions it only when it is actually available;
- it is treated as a **planning-only** tool so it does not run alongside action tools in the same batch;
- it tracks usage/cost separately enough for operators to reason about it;
- it has a minimally polished UI in the Agents page;
- and it ships with explicit dogfooding evidence, including screenshots and repro videos.

## Design decisions to lock before coding

1. **Primary architecture:** native built-in tool in `chattool/`, backed by a small `chatadvisor` package.
2. **Nested model execution:** reuse chatd's existing model/provider stack for a one-step, tool-less advisor call rather than inventing a new provider pathway.
3. **Execution policy:** treat `advisor` as an exclusive/planning-only tool; mixed batches must return structured policy errors and force the model to retry cleanly.
4. **Availability:** initial rollout is for root agent chats only; disable for child/sub-agent chats until recursion/cost policy is proven.
5. **Prompt sync:** use one eligibility boolean to drive both tool registration and advisor guidance injection.
6. **Persistence/cost split:** MVP should keep advisor usage visible in result metadata and server metrics; only add DB schema if product/billing explicitly needs queryable advisor-specific cost.
7. **UI scope:** generic tool rendering is an acceptable temporary milestone during backend bring-up, but the release candidate should include a dedicated lightweight advisor renderer.

## Delivery model

The work should be executed as coordinated workstreams with one integration owner and parallel contributors for low-conflict areas. The integration owner should own `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` because prompt assembly, tool registration, and model resolution all converge there.

## Detailed workstreams

### Repo evidence used for this plan

<details>
<summary>Mux reference and current chatd seams</summary>

**Mux reference implementation**

- `src/node/services/tools/advisor.ts` — native advisor tool implementation.
- `src/common/constants/advisor.ts` — advisor prompt/constants and truncation policy.
- `src/common/utils/tools/tools.ts` — conditional tool registration.
- `src/node/services/streamContextBuilder.ts` — injects advisor guidance only when the tool is available.

**Current chatd seams**

- `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go`
  - `processChat()` — tool assembly, prompt assembly, and chatloop invocation.
  - `resolveChatModel()` — current model/provider/key resolution seam.
  - `type Config struct` — server-level chatd configuration surface.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop.go`
  - `Run()` — main streaming/model loop.
  - `executeTools()` — built-in tool execution/batching seam.
- `coderd/x/chatd/chattool/` — built-in tool implementations.
- `site/src/pages/AgentsPage/components/ChatElements/tools/Tool.tsx` — tool renderer dispatch.
- `site/src/pages/AgentsPage/components/ChatConversation/messageParsing.ts` and `ConversationTimeline.tsx` — tool/result merge and rendering flow.

### Workstream map and ownership

| Workstream | Primary owner | Main files | Can run in parallel? | Done when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0. Integration + gating | Integration lead | `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` | No; central merge lane | Tool registration, prompt sync, and model selection are wired together |
| 1. Advisor runtime + tool | Backend agent | new `coderd/x/chatd/chatadvisor/`, new `coderd/x/chatd/chattool/advisor.go` | Yes | Tool can perform a tool-less advisor call in memory and return structured results |
| 2. Planning-only execution policy | Chatloop agent | `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop.go`, related tests | Yes | Mixed `advisor` + action-tool batches are rejected cleanly and deterministically |
| 3. Metrics/usage/config | Backend/telemetry agent | `chatd.go`, `chatloop/metrics.go`, optional config plumbing | Partially; coordinate with integration lead | Advisor usage is separately visible in metadata/metrics and limits are enforced |
| 4. Frontend rendering | Frontend agent | `site/.../tools/Tool.tsx`, new `AdvisorTool.tsx`, stories | Yes after result schema stabilizes | Advisor renders as a readable card and story tests pass |
| 5. Dogfood + QA evidence | QA agent | dev server, Storybook, dogfood output | After backend + UI are usable | Repro videos, screenshots, and a concise QA report exist |

### Parallelization rules

- **Do not split `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` across multiple execution agents without an integration lead.** That file owns prompt building, tool registration, model resolution, and cost persistence.
- Workstreams 1 and 2 can be developed in parallel and then stacked onto the integration branch.
- Workstream 4 should begin once the backend result schema is agreed on, even if the backend is still behind a feature flag.
- Any agent that needs to re-check Mux behavior should clone `coder/mux` into a temporary directory (for example, `$(mktemp -d)/mux`) and inspect it read-only; do not vendor or copy code from Mux directly.

## Phase 0 — Preflight and guardrails

### Goals

- Align the team on the smallest shippable architecture.
- Prevent scope creep into MCP/dynamic-tool/sub-agent variants.
- Decide upfront what is MVP vs. follow-up.

### Tasks

1. **Confirm the MVP boundary.**
   - Ship a built-in advisor tool first.
   - Do **not** make MCP, dynamic tools, or sub-agents the primary implementation.
   - Do **not** add transient streaming phases in the first backend PR unless they fall out almost for free.

2. **Confirm local workflow hygiene before coding.**
   - Ensure the repo is using the project git hooks from `scripts/githooks`.
   - Do not bypass hooks with `--no-verify`.
   - Use `./scripts/develop.sh` for the full dev server rather than manual build/run commands.

3. **Lock the model-selection policy.**
   - **Recommended MVP:** advisor uses the same resolved provider/model/cost config as the current chat, with advisor-specific max-output and usage caps.
   - **Follow-up only if required:** add a separate `AdvisorModelConfigID`-style override that resolves through the existing `configCache`/model-config path. Do not invent a new free-form `provider:model` parser if chatd already stores provider/model separately.

4. **Lock the persistence policy.**
   - **Recommended MVP:** no DB migration. Persist advisor-visible metadata in the tool result and record separate metrics in memory/Prometheus.
   - **Only if product/billing explicitly asks for queryable advisor cost:** add a later DB migration or usage table, following the normal `queries/*.sql` + `make gen` workflow.

5. **Create an execution ADR note in the work item or tracking doc.**
   - Capture: built-in tool, tool-less nested call, root-chat-only rollout, exclusive execution policy, MVP no-DB-migration default.

### Quality gate

- Everyone on the team can state the same answers to these questions:
  - Is advisor a built-in tool? **Yes.**
  - Can advisor run with action tools in the same batch? **No.**
  - Does advisor get tools of its own? **No.**
  - Is a DB migration required for MVP? **No, unless billing insists.**

## Phase 1 — Build the advisor runtime and tool wrapper

### Goals

Create the core advisor implementation in a way that is easy to test and keeps `chattool/` thin.

### Files to add

- `coderd/x/chatd/chatadvisor/types.go`
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatadvisor/guidance.go`
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatadvisor/handoff.go`
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatadvisor/runtime.go`
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatadvisor/runner.go`
- `coderd/x/chatd/chattool/advisor.go`

### Responsibilities by file

1. **`types.go`**
   - Define the input/result schema used by the tool and UI.
   - Keep the result shape close to Mux so the UI and model both have predictable cases.
   - Recommended result variants:
     - `advice`
     - `limit_reached`
     - `error`

   Recommended shape:

   ```go
   type AdvisorArgs struct {
       Question string `json:"question"`
   }

   type AdvisorResult struct {
       Type          string              `json:"type"`
       Advice        string              `json:"advice,omitempty"`
       Error         string              `json:"error,omitempty"`
       AdvisorModel  string              `json:"advisor_model,omitempty"`
       RemainingUses int                 `json:"remaining_uses,omitempty"`
       Usage         *AdvisorUsageResult `json:"usage,omitempty"`
   }
   ```

2. **`guidance.go`**
   - Hold two strings:
     - the nested advisor system prompt;
     - the parent-agent guidance block to inject into the outer system prompt.
   - The nested advisor prompt must say, in plain language:
     - you are advising the parent agent;
     - you do not address the end user directly;
     - you do not claim actions happened;
     - you return concise strategic guidance and tradeoffs.

3. **`runtime.go`**
   - Define the per-run runtime state.
   - Recommended fields:
     - resolved model + model config;
     - provider keys/options reused from the outer chat;
     - `MaxUsesPerRun`;
     - `MaxOutputTokens`;
     - atomic/current call counter;
     - callback(s) to obtain the current prompt snapshot and current-step snapshot;
     - optional metrics/usage hook.
   - Add fail-fast validation for impossible config: nil model, non-positive limits, empty prompt builders, etc.

4. **`handoff.go`**
   - Build the advisor handoff message from:
     - the explicit question;
     - the exact prompt/messages the parent model just used;
     - the current step's text/reasoning snapshot, if available;
     - the most recent relevant tool outputs, if they are already in the prompt snapshot.
   - **Important:** use the already-prepared outer prompt tail, not a fresh DB reload. That keeps the advisor aligned with compaction and the exact context the outer model saw.
   - Apply hard truncation budgets with recent-context bias.

5. **`runner.go`**
   - Execute the nested advisor call.
   - **Recommended implementation:** call `chatloop.Run()` in an in-memory, one-step mode:
     - `Tools: nil`
     - `ProviderTools: nil`
     - `MaxSteps: 1`
     - `PersistStep`: capture the assistant output in memory instead of writing DB rows
   - Reuse the existing provider/model/cost path instead of building a second provider runner.
   - Assert that no tool definitions are passed to the nested call.

6. **`chattool/advisor.go`**
   - Keep this file thin and consistent with other built-ins.
   - Responsibilities:
     - decode `AdvisorArgs`;
     - validate `Question` is non-empty and bounded;
     - call the `chatadvisor` runner;
     - return a structured tool response.

### Defensive programming requirements

- Assert `Question` is non-empty after trimming.
- Assert runtime limits are positive.
- Assert the nested advisor call runs with zero tools/provider tools.
- Assert `AdvisorResult.Type` is one of the known variants before returning.
- Assert remaining uses never goes negative.

### Acceptance criteria

- A unit test can call the advisor tool with a fake model and receive a stable `advice` result.
- The nested advisor call is impossible to run with tools accidentally attached.
- The core logic lives in `chatadvisor/`, not embedded inside `chatd.go`.

## Phase 2 — Wire advisor into chatd and keep prompt/tool availability in sync

### Goals

Register the tool in the right place, expose it only when eligible, and inject system guidance only when the tool is present.

### Files to modify

- `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go`
- optionally a small helper file if `chatd.go` becomes too crowded

### Tasks

1. **Compute one eligibility boolean in `processChat()`.**
   Recommended inputs:
   - server-level advisor enabled flag;
   - root chat only (`chat.ParentChatID == uuid.Nil` or equivalent existing root/child check);
   - a usable resolved model/provider exists;
   - optional experiment/workspace/org gate if product wants staged rollout.

2. **Create the runtime once per outer chat run.**
   - Use the model/config/keys resolved by `resolveChatModel()`.
   - Reuse provider options from the current chat's `ChatModelCallConfig`.
   - Set `MaxUsesPerRun` and `MaxOutputTokens` from advisor config defaults.

3. **Register the tool in the built-in tool block.**
   - Insert after the skill tools and before MCP tools in `processChat()`.
   - Record `builtinToolNames["advisor"] = true` so metrics stay bounded.

4. **Inject advisor guidance into the outer system prompt using the same boolean.**
   - Use `chatprompt.InsertSystem()` in the same prompt assembly path that already injects user/system instructions.
   - Place the block near the existing instruction insertion, before plan-path/skill context blocks.
   - Wrap the guidance in an explicit tag like `<advisor-guidance>` so it is easy to spot in tests and future refactors.

5. **Keep advisor out of child chats for the first release.**
   - That avoids recursion/cost blowups with `spawn_agent` / `wait_agent` flows.
   - Document this explicitly in the rollout notes and tests.

### Acceptance criteria

- If advisor is disabled, neither the tool nor the prompt guidance appears.
- If advisor is enabled, both the tool and the prompt guidance appear.
- Root chats can use advisor; child chats cannot.
- Built-in tool names include `advisor` so metrics do not collapse it into the generic `mcp` label.

## Phase 3 — Enforce planning-only execution policy in `chatloop`

### Goals

Prevent the model from calling `advisor` and action tools in the same execution batch.

### Files to modify

- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/chatloop.go`
- related chatloop tests

### Recommended implementation

Keep the MVP small; do **not** build a general policy engine yet.

1. Add a minimal field to `chatloop.RunOptions`, for example:

   ```go
   ExclusiveToolName *string
   ```

2. In `Run()` / `executeTools()`, detect the case where the exclusive tool appears in the same local-tool batch as any other locally executed tool.

3. When that happens, synthesize structured tool-result errors for the affected calls instead of executing anything in the batch.
   - `advisor` should receive a clear error like: _advisor must be called by itself before action tools_.
   - The sibling action tools should receive a paired policy error like: _this tool was skipped because advisor must run alone_.

4. Let the outer model see those tool errors and retry cleanly.
   - This is simpler and safer than partial execution or hidden deferral.
   - It preserves deterministic transcript history for debugging.

5. Pass the just-finished step snapshot into the tool execution context.
   - The advisor runtime should be able to see the current step's text/reasoning content, because that is often the best hint about what the outer model is trying to decide.

### Why this is the right fit

- It matches the intended semantics: advisor is consulted **before** taking action.
- It avoids subtle race conditions caused by concurrent built-in tool execution.
- It keeps the behavior easy to test with fake models.

### Acceptance criteria

- A model-emitted batch containing only `advisor` succeeds.
- A model-emitted batch containing `advisor` plus any other locally executed tool returns deterministic policy errors and executes nothing.
- Non-advisor tool execution stays unchanged for normal chats.

## Phase 4 — Usage limits, metrics, and configuration

### Goals

Make advisor safe to operate without over-designing billing/storage in the first release.

### Files to modify

- `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go`
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatloop/metrics.go` as needed
- `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` `Config` struct and constructor path
- optional follow-up config/db files only if a separate advisor model or persistent billing is required

### Tasks

1. **Add explicit server config knobs for MVP.**
   Recommended fields on `chatd.Config` or a nested advisor config struct:
   - `AdvisorEnabled bool`
   - `AdvisorMaxUsesPerRun int`
   - `AdvisorMaxOutputTokens int64`

2. **Track usage per outer run.**
   - Reset the counter for each `processChat()` invocation.
   - Return `remaining_uses` in the tool result.
   - Return `limit_reached` when the cap is exhausted.

3. **Expose advisor usage metadata in the tool result.**
   - Include model name and token/cost summary if available.
   - Use the same `callConfig.Cost` calculation path as the outer chat for MVP if advisor reuses the same model.

4. **Record server-side metrics.**
   - Count advisor invocations, failures, and latency.
   - Ensure they show up under the built-in tool label `advisor`.

5. **Optional decision gate: separate advisor model.**
   - If product insists on a stronger/different advisor model, add a follow-up config hook that resolves another existing chat model config through the same `configCache` path.
   - Keep that out of the first landing PR unless it is required for acceptance.

6. **Optional decision gate: queryable advisor cost.**
   - If this becomes required, spin a follow-up DB task:
     - update `coderd/database/queries/*.sql`;
     - add migration files;
     - run `make gen`;
     - update audit mappings if a new auditable type/field is introduced.

### Acceptance criteria

- Advisor calls are capped per outer run.
- Limit exhaustion is user-visible in the tool result.
- Metrics distinguish advisor calls from other built-in tools.
- MVP does not require a schema migration unless explicitly approved.

## Phase 5 — Frontend rendering and Storybook coverage

### Goals

Make advisor feel intentional in the Agents UI without blocking the backend on fancy streaming UI.

### Files to modify

- `site/src/pages/AgentsPage/components/ChatElements/tools/Tool.tsx`
- new `site/src/pages/AgentsPage/components/ChatElements/tools/AdvisorTool.tsx`
- Storybook story file(s) in the same tools directory

### Delivery strategy

1. **Intermediate milestone during backend bring-up:** rely on the existing generic tool renderer if needed.
   - This is acceptable only as a short-lived integration checkpoint.

2. **Release milestone:** add a dedicated lightweight `AdvisorTool` renderer.
   - Reuse existing primitives:
     - `ToolCollapsible`
     - `ToolIcon`
     - `Response` for markdown/prose rendering
     - `ScrollArea` if the advice can be long
   - Keep styling light and consistent with the Agents page.
   - Do not add unnecessary React memoization in `site/src/pages/AgentsPage/`; that area is already React-Compiler aware.

3. **Render the structured result states cleanly.**
   - `advice` — readable prose/markdown with optional metadata footer.
   - `limit_reached` — warning-style message.
   - `error` — error state with visible fallback text.
   - `running` — existing tool loading state/spinner is enough for MVP.

4. **Add Storybook coverage instead of ad-hoc component tests.**
   Recommended stories:
   - successful advice;
   - running/loading;
   - limit reached;
   - error.

5. **Keep the UI contract narrow.**
   - Prefer one text field like `advice` plus small metadata rather than a deeply nested schema.
   - That keeps the UI resilient to prompt iteration.

### Acceptance criteria

- The advisor tool card renders readable content rather than raw quoted JSON in the final release branch.
- Running, limit, and error states are visibly distinct.
- Storybook stories and play assertions cover the new states.
- Existing tool rendering flows remain unchanged.

## Phase 6 — Automated tests and validation gates

### Backend tests to add

1. **Advisor runtime/tool tests**
   - question validation;
   - tool-less nested execution assertion;
   - success result shaping;
   - limit-reached result shaping;
   - error result shaping.

2. **Prompt/gating tests in chatd**
   - advisor disabled ⇒ no tool, no guidance;
   - advisor enabled/root chat ⇒ tool + guidance;
   - child chat ⇒ advisor absent.

3. **Chatloop policy tests**
   - advisor alone runs;
   - advisor + action tool mixed batch returns deterministic policy errors;
   - non-advisor tools still execute normally.

4. **Usage/metrics tests**
   - per-run cap resets correctly;
   - builtin tool labeling includes `advisor`;
   - returned metadata includes model/usage summary when available.

### Frontend tests to add

- Storybook `play()` assertions for the advisor renderer states.
- Verify expand/collapse behavior and visible fallback text.
- Verify the message timeline still renders adjacent tools correctly.

### Recommended command sequence

Run these as the implementation matures, not only at the end:

1. Backend-focused gate after phases 1–4:
   - `make test RUN=TestAdvisor`
   - `make test RUN=TestChatloopAdvisor`
   - `make lint`

2. Frontend-focused gate after phase 5:
   - `pnpm test:storybook src/pages/AgentsPage/components/ChatElements/tools/AdvisorTool.stories.tsx`
   - `pnpm lint`
   - `pnpm format`

3. Final repo gate before handoff:
   - `make pre-commit`
   - run any additional targeted `make test RUN=...` selections covering touched chatd paths

> Use the exact new test names the implementing agents create; the names above are recommended anchors, not existing tests.

## Dogfooding plan

### Principle

Dogfood the change as a real agent feature, not just a unit-tested backend. Per the dogfood and `agent-browser` skills, the reviewer should get **watchable repro videos** plus screenshots that make the behavior obvious without reading logs.

### Required setup

1. Start the full dev environment with:
   - `./scripts/develop.sh`
2. If the frontend renderer changes, also start Storybook from `site/` with:
   - `pnpm storybook --no-open`
3. Use `agent-browser` directly — **never `npx agent-browser`**.
4. Use named browser sessions and an output folder such as:
   - `./dogfood-output/advisor/`
   - with subfolders `screenshots/` and `videos/`

### Evidence protocol

For every interactive scenario below:

1. Start video recording **before** the action.
2. Capture step-by-step screenshots at human pace.
3. Capture one annotated screenshot of the final state.
4. Stop the recording.
5. Note the exact pass/fail observation in the QA report.

For static UI states (for example Storybook error/limit cards), an annotated screenshot is sufficient; video is optional but still encouraged by this project’s review preference.

### Dogfood scenarios

#### Scenario A — Happy path in the real Agents UI

**Goal:** prove that a root agent chat can invoke advisor and produce a readable recommendation before taking further action.

Steps:

1. Open the Agents page with an advisor-enabled root chat.
2. Start a repro video.
3. Send a prompt that should reasonably trigger strategic planning, such as an architecture or multi-tradeoff question.
4. Capture screenshots of:
   - the prompt before send;
   - the running advisor state;
   - the completed advisor card and the assistant’s follow-up response.
5. Stop recording.

Pass criteria:

- advisor appears in the timeline;
- the rendered result is readable;
- the assistant can continue after consuming the advisor output.

#### Scenario B — Advisor unavailable path

**Goal:** prove the feature is truly gated.

Suggested variants (at least one is required, both are better):

- feature flag/config off;
- child/sub-agent chat.

Evidence:

- annotated screenshot of the chat/tool state showing advisor is absent;
- short video if toggling the gate live is part of the repro.

Pass criteria:

- no advisor tool is available;
- no advisor-specific prompt behavior leaks through.

#### Scenario C — UI states in Storybook

**Goal:** prove the renderer handles non-happy states cleanly.

Required story states:

- success/advice;
- running;
- limit reached;
- error.

Evidence:

- one screenshot per state;
- at least one short video showing collapse/expand behavior.

Pass criteria:

- success renders readable advice;
- limit/error have visible fallback text;
- the component behaves like the other tool cards.

#### Scenario D — Regression sweep of nearby tools

**Goal:** ensure advisor does not break the surrounding chat timeline.

Check at minimum:

- another existing built-in tool still renders correctly near advisor;
- sub-agent/tool cards still expand/collapse normally;
- no obvious console errors appear in the Agents page during the advisor flow.

Evidence:

- screenshots of adjacent tool cards;
- console/error capture if anything suspicious appears.

### `agent-browser` usage notes for the QA agent

- Prefer `agent-browser batch` for 2+ sequential commands when no intermediate parsing is needed.
- Use `snapshot -i` to discover interactive refs.
- Re-snapshot after navigation or major DOM changes.
- Avoid `wait --load networkidle` unless the page is known to go idle; prefer explicit element/text waits or short fixed waits.
- Record videos at human pace and include pauses that a reviewer can follow.

## Rollout plan

### Initial rollout

- Gate behind a server-side advisor-enabled flag.
- Enable only for selected internal/root agent chats first.
- Watch metrics for:
  - invocation count;
  - failure rate;
  - latency;
  - obvious retry loops.

### Expansion conditions

Expand beyond the initial rollout only after the following are true:

- mixed-batch policy behavior is stable;
- cost impact is understood;
- frontend UX is readable in production-like dogfood;
- no recursion surprises have appeared with sub-agent flows.

### Explicit non-goals for the first release

- advisor inside child/sub-agent chats;
- provider-agnostic streaming phase UI;
- MCP-based external advisor implementation;
- mandatory DB-backed advisor cost reporting.

## Final acceptance checklist

- [ ] `advisor` is a built-in chatd tool, not an MCP/dynamic-tool substitute.
- [ ] The nested advisor call is tool-less and bounded to one in-memory step.
- [ ] One eligibility boolean controls both tool registration and prompt guidance injection.
- [ ] Root chats can use advisor; child chats cannot in the initial rollout.
- [ ] Mixed advisor/action batches produce deterministic policy errors instead of partial execution.
- [ ] Per-run usage caps and limit-reached behavior work.
- [ ] Advisor usage is visible in metadata/metrics without forcing a DB migration for MVP.
- [ ] The Agents UI has a readable advisor card and Storybook coverage.
- [ ] Dogfooding produced screenshots and repro videos for the required scenarios.
- [ ] Validation commands (`make lint`, targeted `make test`, Storybook tests, `make pre-commit`) passed before handoff.

## Suggested PR split

1. **PR 1 — Backend foundation**
   - `chatadvisor/` package
   - `chattool/advisor.go`
   - `chatloop` exclusive policy
   - chatd gating/prompt sync

Michael Suchacz 99eb46dac1 fix(coderd/x/chatd): repair Anthropic provider tool history (#24744)
## Problem

Anthropic returns HTTP 400 when an assistant message contains a
`web_search_tool_result` block whose `tool_use_id` has no matching
earlier `server_tool_use` block in the same assistant message. A
previous fix (#24706) sanitized provider-executed tool calls without
matching results, but the opposite direction, orphaned or misordered
provider-executed results, could still slip through both the prompt
sanitizer and the persistence path.

## Fix

Tighten Anthropic provider-executed tool history handling while
preserving the useful result payload as normal assistant text when the
provider-tool metadata is unsafe.

1. Extract Anthropic provider-tool sanitization into
`coderd/x/chatd/chatsanitize` so provider-specific repair logic is no
longer spread through `chatprompt` and `chatloop`.

2. `chatsanitize.SanitizeAnthropicProviderToolHistory` removes invalid
provider-executed tool structure for Anthropic prompts: orphans in
either direction, result-before-call, duplicate IDs, invalid JSON
inputs, empty IDs and tool names, unsupported tool names, mismatched
`ProviderExecuted` flags, provider-executed blocks outside assistant
messages, and web-search results without serializable Anthropic result
metadata. Provider-executed result payloads are textified instead of
being discarded when there is text to preserve.

3. `chatsanitize.SanitizeAnthropicProviderToolContent` mirrors the same
rule at the streamed step content level. Persisted history no longer
carries invalid provider-tool blocks forward, but it keeps the result
text for future turns.

4. `chatsanitize.ApplyAnthropicProviderToolGuard` only repairs
structurally invalid Anthropic provider-tool history. It no longer
strips otherwise-valid historical `web_search` blocks just because web
search is disabled for the current request. The fail-closed fallback
also textifies provider results before removing provider-tool metadata.

Tests cover prompt sanitization, validation reason strings, result
payload textification, content-level persistence sanitization, disabled
web-search history preservation, direct pre-request guard behavior, and
the fallback strip path.

Michael Suchacz 0211448d09 fix(coderd): sanitize Anthropic provider tool history (#24706)
Anthropic can reject replayed chat histories when a provider-executed
tool call, such as `web_search`, is present without its matching
provider result block.

This sanitizes unpaired Anthropic provider-executed tool calls during
prompt reconstruction, before Anthropic requests, and before persistence
so existing poisoned histories can continue and new malformed turns are
not stored.

Ethan cc4e04afde feat(site): display file attachments in chat UI (#24281)
Renders the durable file attachments introduced in #24280 in the chat
interface. Without this, attachments were stored and served correctly
but the UI showed raw file parts with no previews or download UX.

Every attachment gets a download affordance, split into three rendering
tiers:

- **Images** — thumbnail with a hover/focus overlay containing a
download link. `onFocusCapture`/`onBlurCapture` with
`contains(relatedTarget)` keeps the overlay open while tabbing between
the image and its download link.
- **Text-like files** (`text/*`, `application/json`) — expandable
preview button with loading + error-with-retry states and the same
download overlay. Preview fetches throw a typed
`FetchTextAttachmentError` with a `.status` field instead of a
stringly-typed error.
- **Everything else** — compact `FileCard` with extension badge,
filename, and download link.

User-side and assistant-side rendering now share `AttachmentBlocks.tsx`
(`AttachmentPreviewFrame`, `TextAttachmentButton`,
`ImageAttachmentButton`, `FileCard`, plus
`getAttachmentHref`/`getAttachmentName`) instead of two near-duplicate
implementations. The text-attachment overlay anchors to the preview
surface so the download button stays pinned even when a loading/error
status line widens the row below.

`ComputerRenderer` detects when a screenshot was stored as a durable
attachment (`attachment_file_id`) and suppresses the stale base64
rendering — the screenshot appears as a proper file part instead.
`ToolLabel` shows the attached filename for `attach_file` tool calls.

Storybook coverage in `ConversationTimeline.stories.tsx` was expanded to
cover every tier (single/multiple images, inline + file-id text, JSON,
download-only files, fetch-failure retry, mixed attachments + file
references) with play-function assertions.

/>



## Cleanup

Per Mathias' post-merge suggestion on #24280, this PR also relocates
`coderd/chatfiles` → `coderd/x/chatfiles` so the durable-attachment
helpers live beside the rest of the `chatd` experimental surface.

Kyle Carberry d11849d94a fix: re-fetch context files and skills from workspace on each turn (#24360)
Context files (AGENTS.md) and skills were only fetched from the
workspace on the first turn or when the agent changed. On subsequent
turns, stale content from persisted messages was used. This meant that
if AGENTS.md or skills were modified on the workspace between turns, the
agent wouldn't see the changes until the user created a new chat.

## Changes

- Extract `fetchWorkspaceContext` from `persistInstructionFiles` to
allow fetching workspace context without persisting
- On subsequent turns, re-fetch fresh context from the workspace instead
of reading stale persisted content; falls back to persisted messages if
the workspace dial fails
- Update `ReloadMessages` callback to re-derive instruction and skills
from reloaded database messages after compaction, instead of using
captured closure variables
- Add `formatSystemInstructionsFromParts` helper to build system
instructions directly from agent parts without requiring separate
OS/directory params
- Add tests for the new helper

<details><summary>Implementation Notes</summary>

### Root cause

In `runChat`, the `else if hasContextFiles` branch (subsequent turns)
called `instructionFromContextFiles(messages)` which read stale content
from persisted DB messages. The `ReloadMessages` callback
(post-compaction) also used captured `instruction`/`skills` closure
variables from the start of the turn, never re-deriving them.

### Approach

1. **Extract `fetchWorkspaceContext`** — Pure refactor of the fetch-only
part of `persistInstructionFiles` (agent connection, context config
retrieval, content sanitization, metadata stamping). Returns parts +
skills without persisting.

2. **Subsequent turns**: Instead of reading from persisted messages,
launch a `g2` goroutine that calls `fetchWorkspaceContext` to get fresh
context from the workspace. Falls back gracefully to persisted messages
if the workspace is unreachable.

3. **ReloadMessages**: Re-derive `instruction` from
`instructionFromContextFiles(reloadedMsgs)` and `skills` from
`skillsFromParts(reloadedMsgs)` using the freshly loaded messages, with
fallback to captured values if the reloaded messages don't contain
context (e.g. compacted away).

Ethan 65bf7c3b18 fix(coderd/x/chatd/chatloop): stabilize startup-timeout tests with quartz (#24193)
The startup-timeout integration tests in `chatloop` used a 5ms real-time
budget and relied on wall-clock scheduling to fire the startup guard
timer before the first stream part arrived. On loaded CI runners the
timer sometimes lost the race, producing `attempts == 2` instead of
`attempts == 1` and flaking `TestRun_FirstPartDisarmsStartupTimeout`.

Replace the real `time.Timer` in `startupGuard` with a `quartz.Timer` so
tests can control time deterministically. Production behavior is
unchanged: `RunOptions.Clock` defaults to `quartz.NewReal()` when nil,
and the startup timeout still covers both opening the provider stream
and waiting for the first stream part.

- Add `RunOptions.Clock quartz.Clock` with nil-safe default.
- Tag the startup guard timer as `"startupGuard"` for quartz trap
targeting.
- Rewrite the four startup-timeout integration tests to use
`quartz.NewMock(t)` with trap/advance/release sequences instead of
wall-clock sleeps.
- Add `awaitRunResult` helper so tests fail with a clear message instead
of hanging when `Run` does not complete.

Kyle Carberry 35c26ce22a feat: add CreatedAt to tool-call and tool-result ChatMessageParts (#24101)
Adds an optional `CreatedAt` timestamp to `tool-call` and `tool-result`
`ChatMessagePart` variants so the frontend can compute tool execution
duration (`result.created_at - call.created_at`).

Timestamps are recorded at the correct moments in the chatloop:
- **Tool-call**: when the model stream emits the tool call
- **Tool-result**: when tool execution completes (or is interrupted)

These are passed through `PersistedStep.PartCreatedAt` so the
persistence layer can apply accurate timestamps to stored parts.
SSE-published parts also carry `CreatedAt` for real-time display.

Old persisted messages without `created_at` deserialize to `nil` — fully
backward compatible.

<details><summary>Implementation notes (Coder Agents
generated)</summary>

### Why not stamp in `PartFromContent`?

`PartFromContent` is called both for SSE publishing (correct timing) and
during persistence (wrong timing — both tool-call and tool-result would
get the same "persistence time" timestamp, yielding ~0 duration).
Instead, timestamps are captured in the chatloop at the right moments
and carried through `PersistedStep.PartCreatedAt` as a
`map[string]time.Time` keyed by `"call:<id>"` / `"result:<id>"`.

### Interrupted tool calls

`persistInterruptedStep` also stamps `CreatedAt` on synthetic error
results for cancelled/interrupted tool calls, so partial duration is

Kyle Carberry b969d66978 feat: add dynamic tools support for chat API (#24036)
Adds client-executed dynamic tools to the chat API. Dynamic tools are
declared by the client at chat creation time, presented to the LLM
alongside built-in tools, but executed by the client rather than chatd.
This enables external systems (Slack bots, IDE extensions, Discord bots,
CI/CD integrations) to plug custom tools into the LLM chat loop without
modifying chatd's built-in tool set.

Modeled after OpenAI's Assistants API: the chat pauses with
`requires_action` status when the LLM calls a dynamic tool, the client
POSTs results back via `POST /chats/{id}/tool-results`, and the chat
resumes.

See [this example](https://github.com/coder/coder-slackbot-poc) as a
reference for how this is used. It's highly-configurable, which would
enable creating chats from webhooks, periodically polling, or running as
a Slackbot.

<summary>Design context</summary>

### Architecture

The chatloop **exits** when it encounters dynamic tools and
**re-enters** when results arrive. No blocking channels, no pubsub for
tool results, no in-memory registry. The DB is the only coordination
mechanism.

```
Phase 1 (chatloop):
  LLM response → execute built-in tools only →
  Persist(assistant + built-in results) →
  status = requires_action → chatloop exits

Phase 2 (POST /tool-results):
  Persist(dynamic tool results) →
  status = pending → wakeCh → chatloop re-enters
```

### Validation (POST /tool-results)

1. Chat status must be `requires_action` (409 if not)
2. Read chat's `dynamic_tools` → set of dynamic tool names
3. Read last assistant message → extract tool-call parts matching
dynamic tool names
4. Submitted tool_call_ids must match exactly (400 for missing/extra)
5. Persist tool-result message parts, set status to `pending`, signal
wake

### Idempotency

Tool call IDs scoped per LLM step. State machine (`requires_action` →
`pending`) is the guard. First POST wins, subsequent get 409.

### Mixed tool calls

When the LLM calls both built-in and dynamic tools in one step, built-in
tools execute immediately. Their results are persisted in phase 1.
Dynamic tool results arrive via POST in phase 2. The LLM sees all
results when the chatloop resumes.

dylanhuff-at-coder f796f3645f fix(coderd): fix isContextLimitKey false positive on max_context_version (#23950)
`isContextLimitKey` had a fallback heuristic that matched any key starting with `"max"` containing `"context"`, causing false positives on keys like `"max_context_version"`. A provider returning such metadata would have the value parsed as a context limit.

Replace substring matching on the separator-stripped key with word-level matching. A new `metadataKeyWords` function tokenizes keys by splitting on separators and camelCase boundaries, then the fallback requires
`"context"` paired with a limit-related word (`"limit"`, `"window"` + qualifier, `"length"` + qualifier, or `"tokens"` + qualifier). Known exact forms like `"context_window"` remain in the fast-path switch.

Ethan 70f031d793 feat(coderd/chatd): structured chat error classification and retry hardening (#23275)
> **PR Stack**
> 1. #23351 ← `#23282`
> 2. #23282 ← `#23275`
> 3. **#23275** ← `#23349` *(you are here)*
> 4. #23349 ← `main`

---

## Summary

Extracts a structured error classification subsystem for agent chat
(`chatd`) so that retry and error payloads carry machine-readable
metadata — error kind, provider name, HTTP status code, and retryability
— instead of raw error strings.

This is the **backend half** of the error-handling work. The frontend
counterpart is in #23282.

## Changes

### New package: `coderd/chatd/chaterror/`

Canonical error classification — extracts error kind, provider, status
code, and user-facing message from raw provider errors. One source of
truth that drives both retry policy and stream payloads.

- **`kind.go`**: Error kind enum (`rate_limit`, `timeout`, `auth`,
`config`, `overloaded`, `unknown`).
- **`signals.go`**: Signal extraction — parses provider name, HTTP
status code, and retryability from error strings and wrapped types.
- **`classify.go`**: Classification logic — maps extracted signals to an
error kind.
- **`message.go`**: User-facing message templates keyed by kind +
signals.
- **`payload.go`**: Projectors that build `ChatStreamError` and
`ChatStreamRetry` payloads from a classified error.

### Modified

- **`codersdk/chats.go`**: Added `Kind`, `Provider`, `Retryable`,
`StatusCode` fields to `ChatStreamError` and `ChatStreamRetry`.
- **`coderd/chatd/chatretry/`**: Thinned to retry-policy only;
classification logic moved to `chaterror`.
- **`coderd/chatd/chatloop/`**: Added per-attempt first-chunk timeout
(60 s) via `guardedStream` wrapper — produces retryable
`startup_timeout` errors instead of hanging forever.
- **`coderd/chatd/chatd.go`**: Publishes normalized retry/error payloads
via `chaterror` projectors.

Kyle Carberry 3812b504fc fix(coderd/x/chatd): prevent nil required field in MCP tool schemas for OpenAI (#23538) 2026-03-24 18:29:41 -04:00
Michael Suchacz 02356c61f6 fix: use previous_response_id chaining for OpenAI store=true follow-ups (#23450)
OpenAI Responses follow-up turns were replaying full assistant/tool
history even when `store=true`, which breaks after reasoning +
provider-executed `web_search` output.

This change persists the OpenAI response ID on assistant messages, then
in `coderd/x/chatd` switches `store=true` follow-ups to
`previous_response_id` chaining with a system + new-user-only prompt.
`store=false` and missing-ID cases still fall back to manual replay.

It also updates the fake OpenAI server and integration coverage for the
chaining contract, and carries the rebased path move to `coderd/x/chatd`
plus the migration renumber needed after rebasing onto `main`.
