Adds two new documentation pages under platform controls for Coder
Agents:
- **Git Providers** (`git-providers.md`) — documents the `API_BASE_URL`
configuration required for self-hosted GitHub Enterprise deployments.
Positions it as an extension of the existing [external
auth](https://coder.com/docs/admin/external-auth) setup to support Coder
Agents features that need richer git host API access: the in-chat diff
viewer and PR Insights.
- **PR Insights** (`pr-insights.md`) — documents the PR analytics
dashboard, requirements for PR data to appear, and troubleshooting.
Links to git-providers for GHE setup.
Also updates the platform controls index and docs manifest.

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

## Summary
- add persistent plan mode for chats and the chat-specific plan file
flow
- add structured planning tools such as `ask_user_question` and
`propose_plan`
- keep `write_file` and `edit_files` constrained to the chat-specific
plan file during plan turns
- allow shell exploration in plan mode, including subagents, via
`execute` and `process_output`
- block implementation-oriented, provider-native, MCP, dynamic, and
computer-use tools during plan turns
- update the chat UI, tests, and docs for the new planning flow
## Summary
Adds `--ai-gateway-allow-byok` deployment option to control whether
users can use Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) mode with AI Gateway.
When disabled (`--ai-gateway-allow-byok=false`), BYOK requests are
rejected with a 403 and a message directing the admin to enable the
flag. Centralized key authentication works regardless of this setting.
Defaults to `true` (BYOK allowed).

Adds a BYOK compatibility table to the AI Gateway client configuration
page, showing which clients support personal API keys and provider
subscriptions through AI Gateway.
We can simplify by merging related columns:
- Personal API Key (OpenAI) and Personal API Key (Anthropic) → Personal
API Key
- ChatGPT Subscription and Claude Subscription → Subscription (Claude
Pro/Max, ChatGPT Plus/Pro)
`NOTE`: This is displayed immediately after the existing Compatibility
table.

## Summary
- Support multiple instances of the same AI Bridge provider type via
indexed env vars (`CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_<N>_<KEY>`), following the
`CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_<N>_<KEY>` pattern
- Existing single-provider env vars (`CODER_AIBRIDGE_OPENAI_KEY`, etc.)
continue to work unchanged
- Setting both a legacy env var and an indexed provider with the same
name errors at startup to prevent silent misconfiguration
- Mark legacy provider fields (`OpenAI`, `Anthropic`, `Bedrock`) as
deprecated in `AIBridgeConfig` in favor of `Providers`
## Example
```sh
CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_0_TYPE=anthropic
CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_0_NAME=anthropic-corp
CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_0_KEY=sk-ant-corp-xxx
CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_0_BASE_URL=https://llm-proxy.internal.example.com/anthropic
CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_1_TYPE=anthropic
CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_1_NAME=anthropic-direct
CODER_AIBRIDGE_PROVIDER_1_KEY=sk-ant-direct-yyy
```
Each instance is routed by name:
- /api/v2/aibridge/**anthropic-corp**/v1/messages
- /api/v2/aibridge/**anthropic-direct**/v1/messages

<summary>Why OpenCode doesn't support subscriptions through AI
Bridge</summary>
**ChatGPT subscription**: OpenCode's codex plugin [hardcodes the
upstream
URL](https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/blob/3a0e00dd7f9192730f6d0eeee37ae0a5fb023927/packages/opencode/src/plugin/codex.ts#L458-L460)
to `https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses` inside a custom
`fetch`, bypassing any configured `baseURL`.
**Claude subscription**: Anthropic [no longer
supports](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1r9hqdk/claude_subscriptions_will_no_longer_be_usable_in/)
using subscriptions in third-party clients.
</details>
## Notes
- Anthropic forbids Claude subscription in all 3rd-party clients
- OpenCode supports ChatGPT subscription, but there is no way to
customize BaseURL
- Does it make sense to investigate Mux?
- Factory doesn't support ChatGPT subscription
- Cline supports ChatGPT subscription, but there is no way to customize
BaseURL
- KiloCode supports CustomHeaders, but I wasn't able to make it work
neither for centralized key nor for BYOK. Seems support for custom
providers has bugs. I got different errors for different models, this
one is common:
`Unsupported parameter: 'max_tokens' is not supported with this model.
Use 'max_completion_tokens' instead.` Seems should be fixed on KiloCode
side.
- RooCode and Cline support only OpenAI. They have special
OpenAI-Compatible provider which allows adding custom headers.
- VSCode (NativeChat) uses github copilot under the hood. I wasn't able
to make it work, neither in VSCode nor in VSCode-Insiders on my MacOS. I
used VSCode-Insiders Version: 1.116.0-insider (Universal). I got
different errors. When I used Github Copilot Chat (stable release - it
ignored my AI Gateway configuration), when I tried to install Github
Copilot Chat pre-release it failed with
`~/.vscode-insiders/extensions/github.copilot-chat-0.43.2026040705`
- JetBrains (embedded AI assistant). OpenAI Compatible provider doesn't
support custom headers. Also I got some errors even for centralized key
setup.
- Zed doesn't support custom headers
- Copilot CLI is special, because it's only supported via gateway proxy.
But it also means that we don't need support of custom headers, because
`X-AI-Gov-Token` is set by proxy itself. So if BYOK is supported in
CopilotCLI - it should be supported for CopilotCLI via Bridge and
BridgeProxy.
## Questions
- Do we want to explicitly state that Claude Max/Pro or ChatGPT Plus/Pro
subscriptions aren’t supported by OpenCode via AIBridge? I initially
avoided mentioning it since this could change over time, and keeping
that information up to date across clients might be difficult.

> PR generated with Coder Agents
Fixes several documentation gaps and inaccuracies in the Coder Agents
docs identified during a deep review against the current product state.
## BYOK (User API Keys)
`models.md` stated *"Developers cannot add their own providers, models,
or API keys"* — this has been incorrect since the provider key policy
system shipped (Apr 2, #23751/#23781).
- Added **Key policy** section documenting the three admin toggles
(`central_api_key_enabled`, `allow_user_api_key`,
`allow_central_api_key_fallback`) with a truth table showing all
resolution outcomes
- Added **User API keys (BYOK)** section covering the developer-facing
key management page, status indicators, selection priority, and key
removal
- Updated `platform-controls/index.md` to reference BYOK instead of
claiming keys are admin-only
## Reasoning effort enum fixes
- **OpenAI**: removed `none` — code accepts `minimal, low, medium, high,
xhigh`
- **OpenRouter**: narrowed to `low, medium, high` per
`ReasoningEffortFromChat` in `chatprovider.go`
## Tool table completeness
- Added `spawn_computer_use_agent`, `read_skill`, `read_skill_file` to
`index.md` tool table
- Added "Workspace extension tools" section to `architecture.md` for
`read_skill`/`read_skill_file`
- Fixed orchestration restriction note to list all 5 gated tools instead
of just `spawn_agent`
- Added conditional availability notes for desktop and skills tools
## Platform controls
Three admin-only settings existed in the Behavior tab with no
documentation:
- **Virtual desktop** — admin toggle, Anthropic + portabledesktop
requirements
- **Workspace autostop fallback** — default TTL for agent workspaces
without template-defined autostop
- **Data retention** — moved `chat-retention.md` into
`platform-controls/` since it's admin-only, fixed nav path

## What
Two small docs improvements for AI Bridge:
1. **`setup.md` – Structured Logging section**: Added a `record_type`
table documenting the six event types emitted by AI Bridge structured
logs (`interception_start`, `interception_end`, `token_usage`,
`prompt_usage`, `tool_usage`, `model_thought`) along with their key
fields. Previously only the `"interception log"` message prefix was
mentioned.
2. **`monitoring.md`**: Added a "Structured Logging" section that
cross-links to `setup.md#structured-logging`, so users landing on the
monitoring page can discover the feature without navigating to the setup
guide first.
<details><summary>Source reference</summary>
Record types and fields were extracted from
`enterprise/aibridgedserver/aibridgedserver.go` where they are emitted
as `slog.F("record_type", "...")` string literals under the
`InterceptionLogMarker` (`"interception log"`) message.

- Tool-created files (e.g. `propose_plan`) are linked to the chat after

Replaces the generic red `ErrorAlert` ("Forbidden.") with a proactive
permission check and friendly info alert when a user lacks the

- Add `createChat` permission check to `permissions.json` using
`owner_id: "me"`
- Handle `"me"` owner substitution in `renderPermissions` (SSR path)
- Pass `canCreateChat` from `useAuthenticated().permissions` into
`AgentCreateForm`
- Show `ChatAccessDeniedAlert` and disable input immediately (no need to
trigger a 403 first)
- Also catch 403 errors as a fallback in case permissions aren't yet
loaded
- Add `ForbiddenNoAgentsRole` Storybook story with `play` assertions
- Add `TestRenderPermissionsResolvesMe` Go test to pin the `"me"`
sentinel substitution
<details><summary>Implementation plan & decision log</summary>
- Uses the existing `permissions.json` + `checkAuthorization` system
rather than a separate API call
- `owner_id: "me"` is resolved to the actor's ID by both the auth-check
API endpoint and the SSR `renderPermissions` function
- Go test uses a real `rbac.StrictCachingAuthorizer` (not a mock) so it
verifies both the sentinel substitution and the RBAC role evaluation
end-to-end
- Alert follows the exact same `Alert` pattern as the 409 usage-limit
block
- Uses `severity="info"` and links to the getting-started docs Step 3
- Textarea is disabled proactively so the user never sees the scary
generic error

Fixes factual errors found during a review of all pages under
`/docs/ai-coder/agents/`.
## Tool tables (`index.md`, `architecture.md`)
Both pages had incomplete tool tables. Added:
- `process_output`, `process_list`, `process_signal` — core workspace
tools always registered alongside `execute`, missing from both pages
- `propose_plan` — platform tool (root chats only), missing from both
pages
- `spawn_computer_use_agent` — orchestration tool (conditional), missing
from architecture.md
Also fixed the architecture.md claim that the agent is "restricted to
the tool set defined in this section" — it now mentions skills and MCP
tools with links to the relevant pages.
## Model options (`models.md`)
- **OpenAI / OpenRouter Reasoning Effort**: docs listed `low`, `medium`,
`high` — code has `none`, `minimal`, `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`.
Fixed both.
- **Removed hidden fields** that never appear in the admin UI:
- Google: Safety Settings (`hidden:"true"`)
- OpenRouter: Provider Order, Allow Fallbacks (parent struct
`hidden:"true"`)
- Vercel: Provider Options (`hidden:"true"`)

Adds three new documentation pages for major shipped features that had
no docs, and updates the platform controls index to reflect current
state.
## New pages
### Extending Agents (`extending-agents.md`)
Covers two workspace-level extension mechanisms:
- **Skills** — `.agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md` directory structure,
frontmatter format, auto-discovery, `read_skill`/`read_skill_file`
tools, size limits, lazy loading
- **Workspace MCP tools** — `.mcp.json` format, stdio and HTTP
transports, tool name prefixing, discovery lifecycle and caching
### MCP Servers (`platform-controls/mcp-servers.md`)
Admin MCP server configuration:
- CRUD via **Agents** > **Settings** > **MCP Servers**
- Four auth modes: none, OAuth2 (with auto-discovery), API key, custom
headers
- Availability policies: `force_on`, `default_on`, `default_off`
- Tool governance via allow/deny lists
- Permission model and secret redaction
### Usage & Insights (`platform-controls/usage-insights.md`)
Three admin dashboards:
- **Usage limits** — spend caps with per-user and per-group overrides,
priority hierarchy, enforcement behavior
- **Cost tracking** — per-user rollup with token breakdowns, date
filtering, per-model and per-chat drill-down
## Updated files
- **`platform-controls/index.md`** — Moved MCP servers, usage limits,
and analytics from "Where we are headed" into "What platform teams
control today" with links to the new pages. Removed the tool
customization roadmap section (now covered by MCP servers page).
- **`manifest.json`** — Added nav entries for all three new pages.

## Summary
Add site-wide banners for AI Governance seat usage thresholds:
1. **90% capacity warning (admin-only):** When actual AI Governance
seats are ≥90% and <100% of the license limit, admins see:
> "You have used 90% of your AI governance add-on seats."
2. **Over-limit banner (admin-only):** When actual seats exceed the
license limit, admins see a prominent warning:
> "Your organization is using {actual} / {limit} AI Governance user
seats ({X}% over the limit). Contact sales@coder.com"
- Uses floor whole percentage (Go int division / `Math.floor`)
- Includes a clickable `mailto:sales@coder.com` link
## Summary
Adds an entitlement-gated **AI add-on** column to both the **Users**
table and the **Organization Members** table. When
`ai_governance_user_limit` is entitled, each row shows whether the user
is consuming an AI seat.
## Background
The AI governance add-on tracks which users are consuming AI seats.
Admins need visibility into per-user seat consumption directly from the
user management tables. This change surfaces that information through
both the site-wide Users table and the per-organization Members table,
gated behind the `ai_governance_user_limit` entitlement so the column
only appears when the feature is licensed.
## Implementation
### Backend
- **New SQL query** `GetUserAISeatStates`
(`coderd/database/queries/aiseatstate.sql`) — returns user IDs consuming
an AI seat, derived from:
- Users with entries in `aibridge_interceptions` (AI Bridge usage)
- Users who own workspaces with `has_ai_task = true` builds (AI Tasks
usage)
- **SDK types** — added `has_ai_seat: boolean` to `codersdk.User` and
`codersdk.OrganizationMemberWithUserData`
- **Handler wiring** — both the Users list endpoint (`coderd/users.go`)
and all Members endpoints (`coderd/members.go`) query AI seat state per
page of user IDs and populate the response field
- **dbauthz** — per-user `ActionRead` checks on `ResourceUserObject`
### Frontend
- **Shared `AISeatCell` component**
(`site/src/modules/users/AISeatCell.tsx`) — green `CircleCheck` for
consuming, gray `X` for non-consuming
- **`TableColumnHelpTooltip`** — extended with `ai_addon` variant with
tooltip: *"Users with access to AI features like AI Bridge, Boundary, or
Tasks who are actively consuming a seat."*
- **Column visibility** gated behind
`useFeatureVisibility().ai_governance_user_limit`
## Validation
- Backend: dbauthz full method suite (`TestMethodTestSuite`) passes
including new `GetUserAISeatStates` test
- Backend: `TestGetUsers`, `TestUsersFilter`, CLI golden file tests pass
- Frontend: 7/7 tests pass across `UsersPage.test.tsx` and
`OrganizationMembersPage.test.tsx` (column visibility gating both
directions)
- `go build ./coderd/...` compiles clean
- `pnpm --dir site run lint:types` passes
- `make gen` clean
## Risks
- **Pagination performance**: The AI seat query is scoped to the current
page's user IDs (not a full table scan), keeping it efficient for
paginated views.
- **Semantic scope**: The workspace-side AI seat derivation uses "any
build with `has_ai_task = true`" rather than "latest build only". If the
product intent is latest-build-only, this can be tightened in a
follow-up.

Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1360
Adds a new `/api/v2/aibridge/sessions` API which returns "sessions".
Sessions, as defined in the [RFC](https://www.notion.so/coderhq/AI-Bridge-Sessions-Threads-2ccd579be59280f28021d3baf7472fbe?source=copy_link), are a set of interceptions logically grouped by a session key issued by the client.
The API design for this endpoint was done in [this doc](https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/1360).
If the client has not provided a session ID, we will revert to the thread root ID, and if that's not present we use the interception's own ID (i.e. a session of a single interception - which is effectively what we show currently in our `/api/v2/aibridge/interceptions` API).
The SQL query looks gnarly but it's relatively simple, and seems to perform well (~200ms) even when I import dogfood's `aibridge_*` tables into my workspace. If we need to improve performance on this later we can investigate materialized views, perhaps, but for now I don't think it's warranted.
---
_The PR looks large but it's got a lot of generated code; the actual changes aren't huge._
The tool descriptions pushed agents toward backgrounding anything over
5 seconds, including builds, tests, and installs where you actually
want to wait for the result. This led to unnecessary process_output
round-trips and missed the foreground timeout-to-reattach workflow
entirely.
Reframe background mode as the exception (persistent processes with
no natural exit) and foreground with an appropriate timeout as the
default. Replace "background process" with "tracked process" in
process_output, process_list, and process_signal since they work on
all tracked processes regardless of how they were started.
Addresses five documentation gaps identified from an internal agents
briefing Q&A, specifically around what permissions an agent inherits
from the user:
1. **No privilege escalation** — Added explicit statement that the agent
has the exact same permissions as the user. No escalation, no shared
service account.
2. **Cross-user workspace isolation** — Added statement that agents
cannot access workspaces belonging to other users.
3. **Default-state warning** — Added WARNING callouts that agent
workspaces inherit the user's full network access unless templates
explicitly restrict it.
4. **Tool boundary statement** — Added explicit statement that the agent
cannot act outside its defined tool set and has no direct access to the
Coder API.
5. **Template visibility scoped to user RBAC** — Clarified that template
selection respects the user's role and permissions.
