- Add `agents_workspace_ttl` site config (default: whatever the template
says a.k.a. `0s`)
- Expose via GET/PUT `/api/experimental/chats/config/workspace-ttl`
- Chat tool reads setting and passes `TTLMillis` on workspace creation
- Existing autostop infrastructure handles the rest (zero changes to
LifecycleExecutor, CalculateAutostop, or activity bumping)
- ⚠️ Template-level `UserAutostopEnabled=false` overrides this global
default. Not touching this.

## Problem
Deleting a chat provider that has models referenced by existing chats
returns a raw PostgreSQL foreign key violation error to the user:
```
pq: update or delete on table "chat_model_configs" violates foreign key
constraint "chat_messages_model_config_id_fkey" on table "chat_messages"
```
This happens because `DELETE FROM chat_providers` cascades to
hard-delete
`chat_model_configs` rows, but `chat_messages` and `chats` still
reference
them with the default `RESTRICT` behavior.
## Fix
Check for `IsForeignKeyViolation` on the two relevant constraints and
return a 400 Bad Request with `"Provider models are still referenced by
existing chats."`, matching the existing FK error handling pattern used
elsewhere in the same file.
## Summary
Adds the database schema, API endpoints, SDK types, and encryption
wrappers for admin-managed MCP (Model Context Protocol) server
configurations that chatd can consume. This is the backend foundation
for allowing external MCP tools (Sentry, Linear, GitHub, etc.) to be
used during AI chat sessions.
## Database
Two new tables:
- **`mcp_server_configs`**: Admin-managed server definitions with URL,
transport (Streamable HTTP / SSE), auth config (none / OAuth2 / API key
/ custom headers), tool allow/deny lists, and an availability policy
(`force_on` / `default_on` / `default_off`). Includes CHECK constraints
on transport, auth_type, and availability values.
- **`mcp_server_user_tokens`**: Per-user OAuth2 tokens for servers
requiring individual authentication. Cascades on user/config deletion.
New column on `chats` table:
- **`mcp_server_ids UUID[]`**: Per-chat MCP server selection, following
the same pattern as `model_config_id` — passed at chat creation,
changeable per-message with nil-means-no-change semantics.
## API Endpoints
All routes are under `/api/experimental/mcp/servers/` and gated behind
the `agents` experiment.
**Admin endpoints** (`ResourceDeploymentConfig` auth):
- `POST /` — Create MCP server config
- `PATCH /{id}` — Update MCP server config (full-replace)
- `DELETE /{id}` — Delete MCP server config
**Authenticated endpoints** (all users, enabled servers only for
non-admins):
- `GET /` — List configs (admins see all, members see enabled-only with
admin fields redacted)
- `GET /{id}` — Get config by ID (with `auth_connected` populated
per-user)
**OAuth2 per-user auth flow:**
- `GET /{id}/oauth2/connect` — Initiate OAuth2 flow (state cookie CSRF
protection)
- `GET /{id}/oauth2/callback` — Handle OAuth2 callback, store tokens
- `DELETE /{id}/oauth2/disconnect` — Remove stored OAuth2 tokens
## Security
- **Secrets never returned**: `OAuth2ClientSecret`, `APIKeyValue`, and
`CustomHeaders` are never in API responses — only boolean indicators
(`has_oauth2_secret`, `has_api_key`, `has_custom_headers`).
- **Field redaction for non-admins**: `convertMCPServerConfigRedacted`
strips `OAuth2ClientID`, auth URLs, scopes, and `APIKeyHeader` from
non-admin responses.
- **dbcrypt encryption at rest**: All 5 secret fields use `dbcrypt_keys`
encryption with full encrypt-on-write / decrypt-on-read wrappers (11
dbcrypt method overrides + 2 helpers), following the same pattern as
`chat_providers.api_key`.
- **OAuth2 CSRF protection**: State parameter stored in `HttpOnly`
cookie with `HTTPCookies.Apply()` for correct `Secure`/`SameSite` behind
TLS-terminating proxies.
- **dbauthz authorization**: All 18 querier methods have authorization
wrappers. Read operations use `ActionRead`, write operations use
`ActionUpdate` on `ResourceDeploymentConfig`.
## Governance Model
| Control | Implementation |
|---------|---------------|
| **Global kill switch** | `enabled` defaults to `false` |
| **Availability policy** | `force_on` (always injected), `default_on`
(pre-selected), `default_off` (opt-in) |
| **Per-chat selection** | `mcp_server_ids` on `CreateChatRequest` /
`CreateChatMessageRequest` |
| **Auth gate** | OAuth2 servers require per-user auth before tools are
injected |
| **Tool-level allow/deny** | Arrays on `mcp_server_configs` for
granular tool filtering |
| **Secrets encrypted at rest** | Uses `dbcrypt_keys` (same pattern as
`chat_providers.api_key`) |
## Tests
8 test functions covering:
- Full CRUD lifecycle (create, list, update, delete)
- Non-admin visibility filtering (enabled-only, field redaction)
- `auth_connected` population for OAuth2 vs non-OAuth2 servers
- Availability policy validation (valid values + invalid rejection)
- Unique slug enforcement (409 Conflict)
- OAuth2 disconnect idempotency
- Chat creation with `mcp_server_ids` persistence
## Known Limitations (Deferred)
These are documented and intentional for an experimental feature:
- **Audit logging** not yet wired — will add when feature stabilizes
- **Cross-field validation** (e.g., OAuth2 fields required when
`auth_type=oauth2`) — admin-only endpoint, will add when stabilizing
- **`force_on` auto-injection** — query exists but not yet wired into
chatd tool injection (follow-up)
- **Additional test coverage** — 403 auth tests, GET-by-ID tests,
callback CSRF tests planned for follow-up
## What's NOT in this PR
- Frontend UI (admin panel + chat picker)
- Actual MCP client connections (`chatd/chatmcp/` manager)
- Tool injection into `chatloop/`
## Problem
The `/agents/settings/insights` page had several issues:
1. **Duplicate PRs** in "Recent Pull Requests" — multiple chats
referencing the same PR URL each produced a row
2. **Wildly wrong costs** — the cost subquery summed ALL messages across
the entire chat *tree* (`GROUP BY root_chat_id`), so every chat in a
tree got the same inflated total. When aggregated, the same tree cost
was counted N× per PR in that tree
3. **UI clutter** — too many stat cards, too many table columns, mixed
naming conventions
## Fix
### Backend (SQL)
- **Deduplicate by PR URL** using `DISTINCT ON (COALESCE(cds.url,
c.id::text))` across all 4 queries
- **Fix cost computation**: use two CTEs — `pr_costs` sums cost from ALL
chats that reference a PR (so review chats contribute), `deduped` picks
one row per PR for state/additions/deletions via DISTINCT ON
- **Tests**: 3 subtests covering multi-chat cost summing, different PRs
no duplication, and duplicate URL counted once
### Frontend
- **3 stat cards** (down from 5): Merged, Merge rate, Cost / merge
- **2-line chart** (down from 3): created (dashed) + merged (solid)
- **4-column model table** (down from 7): Model, Merged, Merge rate,
Cost/merge
- **4-column recent table** (down from 7): Title, Status, Cost, Created
— with `table-fixed` to prevent overflow
- **Consistent naming**: no mixed PR/PRs abbreviation, contextual labels
since page title establishes context
## What
Adds a new admin-only **PR Insights** page for the `/agents` analytics
view — a dashboard for engineering leaders to understand code shipped by
AI agents.
### Backend
- `GET /api/v2/chats/insights/pull-requests` — admin-only endpoint
- 4 SQL queries in `chatinsights.sql` aggregating `chat_diff_statuses`
joined with chat cost data (via root chat tree rollup)
- Runs 5 parallel DB queries: current summary, previous summary (for
trends), time series, per-model breakdown, recent PRs
- SDK types auto-generate to TypeScript
### Frontend (`PRInsightsView`)
- **Stat cards**: PRs created, Merged, Merge rate, Lines shipped,
Cost/merged PR — with trend badges comparing to previous period
- **Activity chart**: Stacked area chart (created/merged/closed) using
git color tokens (`git-added-bright`, `git-merged-bright`,
`git-deleted-bright`)
- **Model performance table**: Per-model PR counts, inline merge rate
bars, diff stats, cost breakdown
- **Recent PRs table**: Status badges, review state icons, author info,
external links
- **Time range filter**: 7d/14d/30d/90d button group
- **4 Storybook stories**: Default, HighPerformance, LowVolume, NoPRs
### Data source
All PR data comes from the existing `chat_diff_statuses` table
(populated by the `gitsync.Worker` background job that polls GitHub
every 120s). No new data collection required.
### Screenshot
View in Storybook: `pages/AgentsPage/PRInsightsView`
Adds a new `site_config` entry that controls whether the virtual desktop
feature for Coder Agents is enabled. It can be set via a new
`/api/experimental/chats/config/desktop-enabled` endpoint, which will be
used by the frontend.
## Problem
The chat listing endpoint (`GetChatsByOwnerID`) was using
`fetchWithPostFilter`, which fetches N rows from the database and then
filters them in Go memory using RBAC checks. This causes a pagination
bug: if the user requests `limit=25` but some rows fail the auth check,
fewer than 25 rows are returned even though more authorized rows exist
in the database. The client may incorrectly assume it has reached the
end of the list.
## Solution
Switch to the same pattern used by `GetWorkspaces`, `GetTemplates`, and
`GetUsers`: `prepareSQLFilter` + `GetAuthorized*` variant. The RBAC
filter is compiled to a SQL WHERE clause and injected into the query
before `ORDER BY`/`LIMIT`, so the database returns exactly the requested
number of authorized rows.
Additionally, `GetChatsByOwnerID` is renamed to `GetChats` with
`OwnerID` as an optional (nullable) filter parameter, matching the
`GetWorkspaces` naming convention.
## Changes
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `queries/chats.sql` | Renamed to `GetChats`, `owner_id` now optional
via CASE/NULL, added `-- @authorize_filter` |
| `queries.sql.go` | Renamed constant, params struct (`GetChatsParams`),
and method |
| `querier.go` | Interface method renamed |
| `modelqueries.go` | Added `chatQuerier` interface +
`GetAuthorizedChats` impl |
| `dbauthz/dbauthz.go` | `GetChats` now uses `prepareSQLFilter` instead
of `fetchWithPostFilter` |
| `dbauthz/dbauthz_test.go` | Updated tests for SQL filter pattern |
| `dbmock/dbmock.go` | Renamed + added mock for `GetAuthorizedChats` |
| `dbmetrics/querymetrics.go` | Renamed + added metrics wrapper |
| `rbac/regosql/configs.go` | Added `ChatConverter` (maps `org_owner` to
empty string literal since `chats` has no `organization_id` column) |
| `rbac/authz.go` | Added `ConfigChats()` |
| `chats.go` | Handler uses renamed method with `uuid.NullUUID` |
| `searchquery/search.go` | Updated return type |
| `gitsync/worker.go` | Updated interface and call site |
| Various test files | Updated for renamed types |
## Summary
This PR removes two redundant chat rereads in `chatd`.
### Archive / unarchive
- `archiveChat` and `unarchiveChat` already come through
`httpmw.ChatParam`, so the handlers already have the `database.Chat`
row.
- Pass that row into `chatd.ArchiveChat` / `chatd.UnarchiveChat` instead
of rereading by ID before publishing the sidebar events.
### End-of-turn cleanup
- `processChat` no longer calls `GetChatByID` after the cleanup
transaction just to refresh the chat snapshot.
- Title generation already persists the generated title and emits its
own `title_change` event.
- To preserve best-effort title freshness for the cleanup path, the
async title-generation goroutine stores the generated title in per-turn
shared state and cleanup overlays it if available before publishing the
`status_change` event and dispatching push notifications.
## Why
- removes one DB read from archive / unarchive requests
- removes one DB read from completed turns, which is the larger hot-path
win
- keeps the existing pubsub/event contract intact instead of broadening
this into a larger event-model redesign
## Notes
- `title_change` remains the authoritative title update for clients
- cleanup does not wait for title generation; it uses the generated
title only when it is already available
Adds cursor-based pagination to the chat messages endpoint.
## Backend
- New `GetChatMessagesByChatIDPaginated` SQL query: returns messages in
`id DESC` order with a `before_id` keyset cursor and configurable
`limit`
- Handler parses `?before_id=N&limit=N` query params, uses the `LIMIT
N+1` trick to set `has_more` without a separate COUNT query
- Queued messages only returned on the first page (no cursor) since
they're always the most recent
- SDK client updated with `ChatMessagesPaginationOptions`
- Fully backward compatible: omitting params returns the 50 newest
messages
## Frontend
- Switches `getChatMessages` from `useQuery` to `useInfiniteQuery` with
cursor chaining via `getNextPageParam`
- Pages flattened and sorted by `id` ascending for chronological display
- `MessagesPaginationSentinel` component uses `IntersectionObserver`
(200px rootMargin prefetch) inside the existing `flex-col-reverse`
scroll container
- `flex-col-reverse` handles scroll anchoring natively when older
messages are prepended — no manual `scrollTop` adjustment needed (same
pattern as coder/blink)
## Why cursor-based instead of offset/limit
Offset-based pagination breaks when new messages arrive while paginating
backward (offsets shift, causing duplicates or missed messages). The
`before_id` cursor is stable regardless of inserts — each page is
deterministic.
## Problem
The sidebar diff status (PR icon, +additions/-deletions, file count) was
not updating in real-time. Users had to reload the page to see changes.
Two root causes:
1. **Frontend**: The `diff_status_change` WebSocket handler in
`AgentsPage.tsx` had an early `return` (line 398) that skipped
`updateInfiniteChatsCache`, so the sidebar's cache was never updated.
Even for other event types, the cache merge only spread `status` and
`title` — never `diff_status`.
2. **Server**: `publishChatPubsubEvent` in `chatd.go` constructed a
minimal `Chat` payload without `DiffStatus`, so even if the frontend
consumed the event, `updatedChat.diff_status` would be `undefined`.
## Fix
### Server (`coderd/chatd/chatd.go`)
- `publishChatPubsubEvent` now accepts an optional
`*codersdk.ChatDiffStatus` parameter; when non-nil it's set on the
outgoing `Chat` payload.
- `PublishDiffStatusChange` fetches the diff status from the DB,
converts it, and passes it through.
- Added `convertDBChatDiffStatus` (mirrors `coderd/chats.go`'s converter
to avoid circular import).
- All other callers pass `nil`.
### Frontend (`site/src/pages/AgentsPage/AgentsPage.tsx`)
- Removed the early `return` so `diff_status_change` events fall through
to the cache update logic.
- Added `isDiffStatusEvent` flag and spread `diff_status` into both the
infinite chats cache (sidebar) and the individual chat cache.
The `/archive` and `/desktop` chat endpoints had swagger route comments
(`@Summary`, `@ID`, `@Router`, etc.) that would cause them to appear in
generated API docs. Since these live under `/experimental/chats`, they
should not be documented.
This removes the swagger annotations and adds the standard `//
EXPERIMENTAL: this endpoint is experimental and is subject to change.`
comment to `archiveChat` (the `watchChatDesktop` handler already had it,
just needed the swagger block removed).
The `/chats/{chat}/diff-status` endpoint was redundant because:
- The `Chat` type already has a `DiffStatus` field
- Listing chats already resolves and returns `diff_status`
- The `getChat` endpoint was the only one not resolving it (passing
`nil`)
## Changes
**Backend:**
- `getChat` now calls `resolveChatDiffStatus` and includes the result in
the response
- Removed `getChatDiffStatus` handler, route (`GET /diff-status`), and
SDK method
- Tests updated to use `GetChat` instead of `GetChatDiffStatus`
**Frontend:**
- `AgentDetail.tsx`: uses `chatQuery.data?.diff_status` instead of
separate query
- `RemoteDiffPanel.tsx`: accepts `diffStatus` as a prop instead of
fetching internally
- `AgentsPage.tsx`: `diff_status_change` events now invalidate the chat
query
- Removed `chatDiffStatus` query, `chatDiffStatusKey`, and
`getChatDiffStatus` API method
### Motivation
- The chat creation flow associated a workspace agent for a chat if the requester could read the workspace, enabling privilege escalation where users without SSH/app-connect permissions could cause the daemon to open privileged agent connections and execute commands.
- The intent is to ensure that attaching a workspace agent to a chat only happens when the requester has the workspace SSH permission so the chat daemon cannot be abused to bypass RBAC.
### Description
- Require request-scoped authorization for workspace agent usage by changing `validateCreateChatWorkspaceSelection` to accept the `*http.Request` and calling `api.Authorize(r, policy.ActionSSH, workspace)` before selecting the workspace for a chat.
- Pass the HTTP request into the validator from `postChats` so authorization is evaluated in the request context (`postChats` now calls `validateCreateChatWorkspaceSelection(ctx, r, req)`).
- Add a regression test `WorkspaceAccessibleButNoSSH` in `coderd/chats_test.go` which creates an org-admin-scoped user (read access but no `ActionSSH`) and asserts that creating a chat with `WorkspaceID` is denied.
### Testing
- Ran `gofmt -w coderd/chats.go coderd/chats_test.go` which succeeded.
- Attempted to run repository pre-commit checks (`make pre-commit`) and targeted `go test` invocations; these checks could not be completed in this environment due to missing local tooling and environment constraints (protobuf include resolution, containerized DB access via Docker socket, and long-running golden generation tasks), so full CI/pre-commit verification and end-to-end test runs did not complete here.
- Added a focused regression unit test (`WorkspaceAccessibleButNoSSH`) to prevent reintroduction of the authorization bypass; this test is included in the change and should be executed in CI where the full toolchain and test environment are available.

[Codex Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_b_69b432502670832e91d14e937745de46)
Adds the `head_branch` field (the source/feature branch name of a PR) to
the diff status pipeline. Previously only `base_branch` (target branch)
and the head commit SHA were captured from the GitHub API, but not the
head branch name itself.
## Changes
- **Migration 438**: Add `head_branch` nullable TEXT column to
`chat_diff_statuses`
- **gitprovider**: Parse `head.ref` from the GitHub API response
(alongside `head.sha`) and add `HeadBranch` to `PRStatus`
- **gitsync**: Wire `HeadBranch` through `refreshOne()` into the DB
upsert params
- **worker**: Map `HeadBranch` in `chatDiffStatusFromRow()`
- **coderd**: Convert `HeadBranch` in `convertChatDiffStatus()`
- **codersdk**: Expose as `head_branch` (`*string`, omitempty) in
`ChatDiffStatus` API response
- **Tests**: Updated `github_test.go` pull JSON fixtures and assertions
### Motivation
- The desktop watch handler opened a VNC stream using the chat's
workspace ID while only relying on workspace read permissions, allowing
read-only users to escalate to interactive desktop access.
- Enforce connect-level authorization so only actors with
`ActionApplicationConnect` or `ActionSSH` can open the desktop stream.
### Description
- Added an explicit workspace lookup in `watchChatDesktop` using
`GetWorkspaceByID` to obtain a workspace object for authorization.
- Require the requester to be authorized for either
`policy.ActionApplicationConnect` or `policy.ActionSSH` on the workspace
before proceeding to locate agents or connect to the VNC stream, and
return `403 Forbidden` when neither permission is present.
- The change is minimal and localized to `coderd/chats.go` and does not
alter other code paths or behavior when the requester has the necessary
connect permissions.
### Testing
- Ran `gofmt -w coderd/chats.go` to format the modified file, which
succeeded.
- Attempted to run the unit test `TestWatchChatDesktop/NoWorkspace` via
`go test` in this environment but the test run did not complete within
the environment constraints and did not produce a full pass result.
- Attempted to run the repository pre-commit/gen steps but they could
not complete due to missing developer tooling and services in this
environment (e.g. `sqlc`, `mockgen`, `protoc` plugins and test services
like Docker/Postgres), so full pre-commit validation did not finish
here.
- Code review and static validation confirm the added authorization
check properly prevents read-only access from opening the desktop VNC
stream.

Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_b_69b46a4ac5c4832ea9d330aeba43c32d)
Surfaces cache token data in the analytics views and fixes table
spacing.
### Changes
- **Cache token columns**: Added cache read and cache write token counts
to all analytics views (user and admin), from SQL queries through Go SDK
types to the frontend tables and summary cards.
- **Table spacing fix**: Replaced the bare React fragment in
`ChatCostSummaryView` with a `space-y-6` container so the model and chat
breakdown tables no longer overlap.
### Data flow
`chat_messages` table already stores `cache_read_tokens` and
`cache_creation_tokens` (and uses them for cost calculation). This PR
aggregates and displays them alongside input/output tokens in:
- Summary cards (6 cards: Total Cost, Input, Output, Cache Read, Cache
Write, Messages)
- Per-model breakdown table
- Per-chat breakdown table
- Admin per-user table
Implement the backend for the desktop feature for agents.
- Adds a new `/api/experimental/chats/$id/desktop` endpoint to coderd
which exposes a VNC stream from a
[portabledesktop](https://github.com/coder/portabledesktop) process
running inside the workspace
- Adds a new `spawn_computer_use_agent` tool to chatd, which spawns a
subagent that has access to the `computer` tool which lets it interact
with the `portabledesktop` process running inside the workspace
- Adds the plumbing to make the above possible
There's a follow up frontend PR here:
https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/23006
Handle previously ignored error return values in coderd:
- coderd/chats.go: check sendEvent errors, log on failure
- coderd/chatd/chattest: thread testing.TB through server structs,

- coderd/chatd/chattool/createworkspace.go: log UpdateChatWorkspace
failure instead of discarding both return values
- coderd/chatd/chattool/execute.go: surface ProcessOutput error in
the timeout message returned to the caller
- coderd/provisionerdserver: log stream.Send failure in the

Add cost tracking for LLM chat interactions with microdollar precision.
## Changes
- Add `chatcost` package for per-message cost calculation using
`shopspring/decimal` for intermediate arithmetic
- **Ceil rounding policy**: fractional micros round UP to next whole
micro (applied once after summing all components)
- Database migration: `total_cost_micros` BIGINT column with historical
backfill and `created_at` index
- API endpoints: per-user cost summary and admin rollup under
`/api/experimental/chats/cost/`
- SDK types: `ChatCostSummary`, `ChatCostModelBreakdown`,
`ChatCostUserRollup`
- Fix `modeloptionsgen` to handle `decimal.Decimal` as opaque numeric
type
- Update frontend pricing test fixtures for string decimal types
## Design decisions
- `NULL` = unpriced (no matching model config), `0` = free
- Reasoning tokens included in output tokens (no double-counting)
- Integer microdollars (BIGINT) for storage and API responses
- Price config uses `decimal.Decimal` for exact parsing; totals use
`int64`
Frontend: #23037
File-reference parts in user messages were flattened to `TextContent` at
write time because fantasy has no file-reference content type. The
frontend never saw them as structured parts.
This moves all write paths (user, assistant, tool) from fantasy envelope
format to `codersdk.ChatMessagePart`. The streaming layer (`chatloop`)
is untouched, the conversion happens at the serialization boundary in
`persistStep`.
Old rows are still readable. `ParseContent` uses a structural heuristic
(`isFantasyEnvelopeFormat`) to distinguish legacy envelopes from SDK
parts. We chose this over try/fallback because fantasy envelopes
partially unmarshal into `ChatMessagePart` (the `type` field matches)
while silently losing content. A guard test enforces that no SDK part
can produce the envelope shape.
This is forward-only: new rows are unreadable by old code. Chat is
behind a feature flag so rollback risk is contained.
Also adds a typed `ChatMessageRole` to replace raw strings and
`fantasy.MessageRole*` casts at the persistence boundary. The type
covers `ChatMessage.Role`, `ChatStreamMessagePart.Role`, the
`PublishMessagePart` callback chain, and all DB write sites.
`fantasy.MessageRole*` remains only where we build `fantasy.Message`
structs for LLM dispatch.
Separately, `ProviderMetadata` was leaking to SSE clients via
`publishMessagePart`. `StripInternal` now runs on both the SSE and REST
paths, covering this.
Other cleanup:
- Old `db2sdk.contentBlockToPart` silently dropped metadata on
text/reasoning/tool-call content. New code preserves it.
- `providerMetadataToOptions` now logs warnings instead of silently
returning nil.
- `db2sdk` shrinks from ~250 lines of parallel conversion to ~15 lines
delegating to `chatprompt.ParseContent()`, removing the `fantasy` import
entirely.
Refs #22821
## Summary
Moves the messages response out of `GET /chats/{id}` and into a
dedicated `GET /chats/{id}/messages` endpoint.
### Backend
- `GET /chats/{id}` now returns just the `Chat` object (no messages)
- `GET /chats/{id}/messages` is a new endpoint returning
`ChatMessagesResponse` with `messages` and `queued_messages`
- Added `ChatMessagesResponse` SDK type and `GetChatMessages` client
method
### Frontend
- `getChat()` API method returns `Chat` instead of `ChatWithMessages`
- Added `getChatMessages()` API method for the new endpoint
- Split `chatQuery` into two: `chatQuery` (metadata) and
`chatMessagesQuery` (messages)
- Updated all cache mutations, optimistic updates, and websocket
handlers
- Updated tests and stories
### Files changed
| File | Change |
|---|---|
| `coderd/coderd.go` | Register `GET /messages` route |

metadata
- split pricing into its own section and show default pricing as
placeholders
- apply default pricing when admins leave pricing fields blank
## Problem
Two separate code paths refreshed chat diff statuses:
1. **HTTP handler** (`refreshChatDiffStatus`): resolved
provider/token/status inline, ran under the user's context. Worked fine
because the user owns their external auth links.
2. **Background worker** (`Refresher.Refresh`): ran under `AsChatd`
context, which lacked `ActionReadPersonal` on `ResourceUser`.
`GetExternalAuthLink` failed silently (`if err != nil { continue }`),
returning `ErrNoTokenAvailable` every time. Chat diff statuses got
`git_branch`/`git_remote_origin` from `MarkStale` but `refreshed_at`,
`url`, `pull_request_state` stayed nil.
Having two paths also meant bug fixes had to be applied twice.
## Fix
- **`Worker.RefreshChat`**: New method for synchronous, on-demand
refresh of a single chat. Uses the same `Refresher.Refresh` pipeline as
the background `tick()`. Called by the HTTP handler for instant
response.
- **`resolveChatGitAccessToken`**: Uses
`dbauthz.AsSystemRestricted(ctx)` specifically for `GetExternalAuthLink`
and `RefreshToken` calls. This is scoped to just those DB operations
rather than broadening the chatd RBAC role.
- **Removed**: `refreshChatDiffStatus`, `shouldRefreshChatDiffStatus`,
`resolveChatDiffStatusWithOptions` (all replaced by the single
`RefreshChat` path).
## Tests
Added 4 tests for `Worker.RefreshChat`:
- `TestRefreshChat_Success`: full refresh + upsert + publish
- `TestRefreshChat_NoPR`: no PR exists yet, nil result
- `TestRefreshChat_RefreshError`: provider resolution fails
- `TestRefreshChat_UpsertError`: refresh succeeds but DB write fails
## Why tests didn't catch the original bug
- Worker tests used mock stores (no dbauthz) and fake token resolvers
(hardcoded lambdas)
- No integration test exercised `AsChatd` -> `resolveChatGitAccessToken`
-> `GetExternalAuthLink` through dbauthz
Adds `pull_request_title` and `pull_request_draft` to the chat diff
status pipeline (DB → provider → SDK → frontend). The GitHub provider
now fetches the PR title alongside existing status fields.
The agents sidebar now displays PR-state-aware icons for chats that have
a linked pull request (when the chat is in waiting/completed state):
- **Open PR**: `GitPullRequestArrow` (green)
- **Draft PR**: `GitPullRequestDraft` (gray)
- **Merged PR**: `GitMerge` (purple)
- **Closed PR**: `GitPullRequestClosed` (red)
Running/pending/paused/error chats keep their existing activity icons
(spinner, pause, error triangle).
### Changes
**Database migration** (`000432`): Adds `pull_request_title TEXT` and
`pull_request_draft BOOLEAN` columns to `chat_diff_statuses`.
**Backend pipeline**:
- `gitprovider.PRStatus` gains a `Title` field
- GitHub provider decodes the `title` from the API response
- `gitsync` and `coderd/chats.go` pass title + draft through to the DB
upsert
- `codersdk.ChatDiffStatus` exposes both new fields in the API response
**Frontend** (`AgentsSidebar.tsx`): New `getPRIconConfig()` function
resolves the appropriate Lucide git icon based on `pull_request_state`
and `pull_request_draft`. Only applies when the chat is in a terminal
state (waiting/completed).
**Real-time sync**: No changes needed — the existing
`diff_status_change` pubsub event already propagates the full
`ChatDiffStatus` including the new fields.
Replace the standalone `?archived=` query parameter on the chats listing
endpoint with a `?q=` search parameter, consistent with how workspaces,
tasks, templates, and other list endpoints work.
The `q` parameter uses the standard `key:value` search syntax parsed by
the `searchquery` package. Currently supports:
- `archived:true/false` (default: `false`, hides archived chats)
When `q` is empty or omits the archived filter, archived chats are
excluded by default. This is a behavioral change — the previous API
returned all chats (including archived) when no filter was specified.
### Changes
**Backend:**
- Add `searchquery.Chats()` parser following the same pattern as
`Tasks()`, `Workspaces()`, etc.
- Update `listChats` handler to read `q` instead of `archived`
- Update `codersdk.ListChatsOptions` to use `Q string` instead of
`Archived *bool`
**Frontend:**
- Update `getChats` API method to accept `q` parameter
- Update `infiniteChats` query to pass `q` instead of `archived`
**Tests:**
- Add `TestSearchChats` unit tests for the parser
- Update existing archive/unarchive integration tests to use `Q:
"archived:true"` syntax
Adds a `created_by` column (nullable UUID) to the `chat_messages` table
to track which user created each message. Only user-sent messages
populate this field; assistant, tool, system, and summary messages leave
it null.
The column is threaded through the full stack: SQL migration, query
updates, generated Go/TypeScript types, db2sdk conversion, chatd
(including subagent paths), and API handlers. All API handlers that
insert user messages now pass the authenticated user's ID as
`created_by`.
No foreign key constraint was added, matching the existing pattern used
by `chat_model_configs.created_by`.
- Adds `_API_BASE_URL` to `CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_CONFIG_`
- Extracts and refactors existing GitHub PR sync logic to new packages
`coderd/gitsync` and `coderd/externalauth/gitprovider`
- Associated wiring and tests

Adds a user-level custom prompt to the database.
I'll be doing a follow-up for the UI, as we currently do not have
user-level settings (it's just admin). I'll also make it very obvious
for chats where there is a user-level prompt, but I don't know how yet.
The chat API is experimental (behind `ExperimentAgents`) and not ready
for public documentation yet. This removes swagger annotations from the
chat handlers so they no longer appear in the generated API reference at
https://coder.com/docs/reference/api/chats.
## Changes
- Remove `@swagger` annotations from 5 chat handlers in
`coderd/chats.go`
- Regenerate `coderd/apidoc/swagger.json` and `docs.go`
- Delete `docs/reference/api/chats.md`
- Remove Chats entry from `docs/manifest.json`
Adds offset and cursor-based pagination to the `GET
/api/experimental/chats` endpoint, following the exact same patterns
used by `GetUsers` and `GetTemplateVersionsByTemplateID`.
## Changes
### Database
- Add `after_id`, `offset_opt`, `limit_opt` params to
`GetChatsByOwnerID` SQL query
- Use composite `(updated_at, id) DESC` cursor for stable, deterministic
pagination
- Add migration with composite index on `chats (owner_id, updated_at
DESC, id DESC)`
### Backend
- Use `ParsePagination()` in `listChats` handler (matches `users.go`
pattern)
- Add `Pagination` field to `ListChatsOptions` SDK struct
### Frontend
- Add `infiniteChats()` query factory using `useInfiniteQuery` with
offset-based page params (same pattern as `infiniteWorkspaceBuilds`)
- Update `AgentsPage` to use `useInfiniteQuery`
- Add "Show more" button at the bottom of the agents sidebar (matches
`HistorySidebar` pattern)
- Keep existing `chats()` query for non-paginated uses (e.g., parent
chat lookup in `AgentDetail`)
### Tests
- Add `TestListChats/Pagination` covering `limit`, `after_id` cursor,
`offset`, and no-limit behavior
## Problem
The Admin → Agents → System Prompt textarea saved only to the browser's
`localStorage`. The value was never sent to the backend, never stored in
the database, and never injected into chats. Entering text, clicking
Save, and refreshing the page showed no changes — the prompt was
effectively a no-op.
## Root Cause
Three disconnected layers:
1. **Frontend** wrote to `localStorage`, never called an API.
2. **`handleCreateChat`** never read `savedSystemPrompt`.
3. **Backend** hardcoded `chatd.DefaultSystemPrompt` on every chat
creation — no field in `CreateChatRequest` accepted a custom prompt.
## Changes
### Database
- Added `GetChatSystemPrompt` / `UpsertChatSystemPrompt` queries on the
existing `site_configs` table (no migration needed).
### API
- `GET /api/experimental/chats/system-prompt` — returns the configured
prompt (any authenticated user).
- `PUT /api/experimental/chats/system-prompt` — sets the prompt
(admin-only, `rbac: deployment_config update`).
- Input validation: max 32 KiB prompt length.
### Backend
- `resolvedChatSystemPrompt(ctx)` checks for a custom prompt in the DB,
falls back to `chatd.DefaultSystemPrompt` when empty/unset.
- Logs a warning on DB errors instead of silently swallowing them.
- Replaced the hardcoded `defaultChatSystemPrompt()` call in chat
creation.
### Frontend
- Replaced `localStorage` read/write with React Query
`useQuery`/`useMutation` backed by the new endpoints.
- Fixed `useEffect` draft sync to avoid clobbering in-progress user
edits on refetch.
- Added `try/catch` error handling on save (draft stays dirty for
retry).
- Save button disabled during mutation (`isSavingSystemPrompt`).
- Query key follows kebab-case convention (`chat-system-prompt`).
### UX
- Added hint: "When empty, the built-in default prompt is used."
### Tests
- `TestChatSystemPrompt`: GET returns empty when unset, admin can set,
non-admin gets 403.
- dbauthz `TestMethodTestSuite` coverage for both new querier methods.
## Summary
Adds a line-reference and annotation system for diffs in the Agents UI.
Users can click line numbers in the Git diff panel to open an inline
prompt input, type a comment, and have a reference chip + text added to
the chat message input.
## Changes
### Backend
- Added `diff-comment` type to `ChatInputPart` and `ChatMessagePart` in
`codersdk/chats.go` with `FileName`, `StartLine`, `EndLine`, `Side`
fields
### Frontend
- **`DiffCommentContext`**: React context/provider managing pending diff
comments with `addReference`, `removeComment`, `restoreComment`,
`clearComments`
- **`DiffCommentNode`**: Lexical `DecoratorNode` rendering inline chips
in the chat input showing file:line references. Chips are clickable
(scroll to line in diff), removable, and support undo/redo via mutation
tracking
- **`InlinePromptInput`**: Textarea annotation rendered inline under
clicked lines in the diff. Supports multiline (Shift+Enter), submit
(Enter), cancel (Escape)
- **`FilesChangedPanel`**: Line click/drag-select handlers open the
inline input. On submit, a badge chip + plain text are inserted into the
Lexical editor
- **`AgentDetail`**: Bidirectional sync between DiffCommentContext and
Lexical editor. Comments are sent as `diff-comment` parts on message
submit
- **`ConversationTimeline`**: Renders `diff-comment` message parts with
file:line labels
## How it works
1. Click a line number in the diff → inline textarea appears below that
line
2. Type a comment and press Enter → reference chip appears in chat input
with your text after it
3. Send the message → diff-comment parts are included alongside the
message text
This change adds support for image attachments to chat via add button
and clipboard paste. Files are stored in a new `chat_files` table and
referenced by ID in message content. File data is resolved from storage
at LLM dispatch time, keeping the message content column small.
Upload validates MIME types via content type or content sniffing against
an allowlist (png, jpeg, gif, webp). The retrieval endpoint serves files
with immutable caching headers. On the frontend, uploads start eagerly
on attach with a background fetch to pre-warm the browser HTTP cache so
the timeline renders instantly after send.
Adds real-time git status watching for workspace agents, so the frontend
can subscribe over WebSocket and show
git file changes in near real-time.
1. Subscription is scoped to a **chat** via `GET
/api/experimental/chats/{chat}/git/watch`.
2. The workspace agent automatically determines which paths to watch
based on tool calls made by the chat (and its ancestor chats).
3. Workspace agent polls subscribed repo working trees on a 30s
interval, on tools calls, and on explicit `refresh` from the client.
4. Scans are rate-limited to at most once per second.
5. Edited paths are tracked **in-memory** inside the workspace agent.
There is no database persistence — state is lost on agent restart. This
will be addresses in a future PR.
6. Messages sent over WebSocket include a full-repo snapshot (unified
diff, branch, origin). A new message is emitted only when the snapshot
changes.
This PR was implemented with AI with me closely controlling what it's
doing. The code follows a plan file that was updated continuously during
implementation. Here's the file if you'd like to see it:
[project.md](https://gist.github.com/hugodutka/8722cf80c92f8a56555f7bc595b770e2).
It reflects the current state of the PR.
## Summary
When a chat's workspace is stopped, the LLM previously had no way to
start it — `create_workspace` would either create a duplicate workspace
or fail. This adds a dedicated `start_workspace` tool to the agent flow.
## Changes
### New: `start_workspace` tool
(`coderd/chatd/chattool/startworkspace.go`)
- Detects if the chat's workspace is stopped and starts it via a new
build with `transition=start`
- Reuses the existing `waitForBuild` and `waitForAgent` helpers (shared
logic)
- Shares the workspace mutex with `create_workspace` to prevent races
- Idempotent: returns immediately if the workspace is already running or
building
- Returns a `no_agent` / `not_ready` status if the agent isn't available
yet (non-fatal)
### Updated: `create_workspace` stopped-workspace hint
- `checkExistingWorkspace` now returns a `stopped` status with message
`"use start_workspace to start it"` when it detects the chat's workspace
is stopped, instead of falling through to create a new workspace
### Wiring
- `chatd.Config` / `chatd.Server`: new `StartWorkspace` /
`startWorkspaceFn` field
- `coderd/chats.go`: new `chatStartWorkspace` method that calls
`postWorkspaceBuildsInternal` with proper RBAC context
- `coderd/coderd.go`: passes `chatStartWorkspace` into chatd config
- Tool registered alongside `create_workspace` for root chats only (not
subagents)
### Tests (`startworkspace_test.go`)
- `NoWorkspace`: error when chat has no workspace
- `AlreadyRunning`: idempotent return for workspace with successful
start build
- `StoppedWorkspace`: verifies StartFn is called, build is waited on,
and success response returned
Despite the SDK type having an `Archived` field for chats, this data was
never fetched from the database — the `GetChatsByOwnerID` query
hardcoded `AND archived = false`, and the `convertChat` function never
mapped the field.
This PR adds an optional `archived` query parameter to `GET
/api/experimental/chats`:
| Value | Behavior |
|-------|----------|
| *(not provided)* | Returns all chats (active and archived) |
| `archived=false` | Returns only non-archived chats |
| `archived=true` | Returns only archived chats |
This follows the same pattern used by template versions
(`sqlc.narg('archived')` nullable boolean).
Also fixes `convertChat` to populate the `Archived` field in API
responses, which was never being set despite existing on the SDK type.
## Problem
When the git askpass flow triggered diff status refreshes, it updated
**every chat** connected to the workspace. This was wasteful and could
cause confusing status updates on unrelated chats.
## Solution
Thread the chat ID through the entire git askpass flow so only the chat
that initiated the git operation gets updated:
1. **`coderd/chatd/chattool/execute.go`** — Sets `CODER_CHAT_ID` env var
on spawned processes (alongside the existing `CODER_CHAT_AGENT`)
2. **`cli/gitaskpass.go`** — Reads `CODER_CHAT_ID` from the environment
and sends it as a `chat_id` query parameter in the `ExternalAuthRequest`
3. **`codersdk/agentsdk/agentsdk.go`** — Adds `ChatID` field to
`ExternalAuthRequest` and encodes it as a query param
4. **`coderd/workspaceagents.go`** — Parses `chat_id` query param and
passes it through to `storeChatGitRef` and
`triggerWorkspaceChatDiffStatusRefresh`
5. **`coderd/chats.go`** — `storeChatGitRef` and
`refreshWorkspaceChatDiffStatuses` now scope updates to just the
initiating chat when a chat ID is provided, falling back to
all-workspace-chats behavior for backwards compatibility (non-chat git
operations)
## Problem
The pubsub notification handler in `chatd` re-fetched **all** messages
from the DB on every new message notification, then filtered in Go with
`msg.ID > lastMessageID`. This grows linearly with conversation length —
every new message triggers a full table scan of that chat's history.
The `AfterMessageID` field in the pubsub notification payload was
clearly designed for cursor-based fetching, but no matching query
existed.
## Fix
- Add `GetChatMessagesByChatIDAfter` SQL query with `WHERE id >
@after_id`, so the database does the filtering instead of Go.
- Use it in the pubsub notification handler in `chatd.go`, passing
`lastMessageID` as the cursor.
- Implement the dbauthz wrapper (was a `panic("not implemented")` stub
from codegen) with the same read-check-on-parent-chat pattern as
adjacent methods.
- Add dbauthz test coverage for the new method.
**Not changed:** The initial snapshot in `Subscribe()` still loads all
messages — that's correct, since a newly-connecting client needs the
full conversation state. The waste was only in the ongoing notification
path.
## Problem
When archiving an agent with subagents, the children briefly flash in
the sidebar as root-level items before disappearing. Two issues:
1. **Backend:** Archive used N+1 queries — a recursive DFS
(`archiveChatTree`, no transaction) or BFS loop (`chatd.ArchiveChat`,
N+1 queries in a tx) to walk the tree and archive each chat
individually.
2. **Frontend:** The SSE `deleted` event handler only filtered out the
parent chat from the cache. Children remained briefly, got promoted to
root-level by `buildChatTree`, then disappeared on the next re-fetch.
## Fix
**Backend:** Replace both tree-walk implementations with a single SQL
query:
```sql
UPDATE chats SET archived = true, updated_at = NOW()
WHERE id = @id OR root_chat_id = @id;
```
This leverages the existing `root_chat_id` column (already indexed) to
archive the entire tree atomically.
**Frontend:** When a `deleted` event arrives, also filter out any chats
whose `root_chat_id` matches the deleted chat, so children vanish from
the sidebar immediately with the parent.
## Changes
- `coderd/database/queries/chats.sql` — Added `ArchiveChatTreeByID`
query
- `coderd/chats.go` — Use single query, delete `archiveChatTree`
function
- `coderd/chatd/chatd.go` — Simplify `ArchiveChat` to use single query
- `coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz.go` — Auth wrapper for new query
- `coderd/chats_test.go` — Added `TestArchiveChat/ArchivesChildren`
subtest
- `site/src/pages/AgentsPage/AgentsPage.tsx` — Filter children in SSE
handler
- Generated files updated via `make gen`
## Summary
Remove the `workspace_agent_id` column from the `chats` table and
dynamically look up the first workspace agent instead.
## Problem
When a workspace is stopped and restarted, the workspace agent gets a
new ID. The `workspace_agent_id` stored on the chat at creation time
becomes stale, making the agent unreachable. This caused chats to break
after workspace restarts.
## Solution
Instead of persisting the agent ID, dynamically look up the first agent
from the workspace's latest build via
`GetWorkspaceAgentsInLatestBuildByWorkspaceID` whenever an agent
connection is needed. The `workspace_id` on the chat remains stable
across restarts.
This behavior may be refined later (e.g., agent selection heuristics),
but picking the first agent resolves the immediate breakage.
## Changes
- **Migration 000425**: Drop `workspace_agent_id` column from `chats`
- **SQL queries**: Remove `workspace_agent_id` from `InsertChat` and
`UpdateChatWorkspace`
- **chatd.go**: `getWorkspaceConn` and `resolveInstructions` now look up
agents dynamically from workspace ID
- **chatd.go**: Remove `refreshChatWorkspaceSnapshot` (no longer needed)
- **createworkspace.go**: Stop persisting agent ID when associating
workspace with chat
- **subagent.go**: Stop passing agent ID to child chats
- **SDK/frontend**: Remove `WorkspaceAgentID` / `workspace_agent_id`
from Chat type

Adds a nullable `last_error` column to the `chats` table so error
reasons survive page reloads.
**Backend:**
- Migration adds `last_error TEXT` (nullable) to chats
- `UpdateChatStatus` writes the error reason when status transitions to
`error`, clears it (NULL) on recovery
- `convertChat` maps `sql.NullString` to `*string` in the SDK
**Frontend:**
- Sidebar falls back to `chat.last_error` when no stream error reason is
cached
- Chat detail page does the same for `persistedErrorReason`
- Fixtures updated for new required field
## Summary
Adds a new `diff_status_change` event kind to the `/chats/watch` pubsub
stream so the sidebar can update diff status (PR created, files changed,
branch info) without a full page reload.
### Problem
When a chat's diff status changes (e.g. PR created via GitHub, git
branch pushed), the sidebar didn't update because:
1. The backend `publishChatPubsubEvent` didn't include diff status data
2. The frontend watch handler only merged `status`, `title`, and
`updated_at` from events
### Solution
A **notify-only** approach: a new `ChatEventKindDiffStatusChange` event
kind tells the frontend "diff status changed for chat X" — the frontend
then invalidates the relevant React Query cache entries to re-fetch.
### Backend changes
- **`coderd/pubsub/chatevent.go`**: New `ChatEventKindDiffStatusChange =
"diff_status_change"` constant
- **`coderd/chatd/chatd.go`**: New `PublishDiffStatusChange(ctx,
chatID)` method on `Server`
- **`coderd/chats.go`**: New `publishChatDiffStatusEvent` helper.
Published from:
- `refreshWorkspaceChatDiffStatuses` — after each chat's diff status is
refreshed via GitHub API
- `storeChatGitRef` — after persisting git branch/origin info from
workspace agent
### Frontend changes
- **`AgentsPage.tsx`**: Handle `diff_status_change` event by
invalidating `chatDiffStatusKey` and `chatDiffContentsKey` queries
- **`ChatContext.ts`**: Remove redundant diff status invalidation that
fired on every chat status change (the new event kind handles this
properly)
## Summary
The UI has always labeled the action as "Archive agent" but the backend
was performing a hard `DELETE`, permanently destroying chats and all
their messages.
This change replaces the hard delete with a soft archive, consistent
with the pattern used by template versions.
## Changes
### Database
- **Migration 000423**: Add `archived boolean DEFAULT false NOT NULL`
column to `chats` table
- Replace `DeleteChatByID` query with `ArchiveChatByID` (`UPDATE SET
archived = true`)
- Add `UnarchiveChatByID` query (`UPDATE SET archived = false`)
- Filter archived chats from `GetChatsByOwnerID` (`WHERE archived =
false`)
### API
- Remove `DELETE /api/experimental/chats/{chat}`
- Add `POST /api/experimental/chats/{chat}/archive` — archives a chat
and all its descendants
- Add `POST /api/experimental/chats/{chat}/unarchive` — unarchives a
single chat (API only, no UI yet)
### Backend
- `archiveChatTree()` recursively archives child chats (replaces
`deleteChatTree()` which hard-deleted)
- Chat daemon's `ArchiveChat()` archives the full chat tree in a
transaction
- Authorization uses `ActionUpdate` instead of `ActionDelete`
### SDK
- Replace `DeleteChat()` with `ArchiveChat()` and `UnarchiveChat()`
- Add `Archived` field to `Chat` struct
### Frontend
- `archiveChat` API call uses `POST .../archive` instead of `DELETE`
- No UI changes — the "Archive agent" button now actually archives
instead of deleting
## Design Decision
This follows the **template version archive pattern** (Pattern B in the
codebase):
- `archived boolean` column (not `deleted boolean`)
- Dedicated `POST .../archive` and `POST .../unarchive` routes (not
repurposing `DELETE`)
- Reversible — users can unarchive via the API (UI for this will come
later)
## Problem
`resolveChatGitHubAccessToken` reads the `OAuthAccessToken` directly
from the database without refreshing it. When the token expires, GitHub
returns "bad credentials" and the chat diff features break.
## Fix
Call `config.RefreshToken()` before returning the token — the same code
path used by `provisionerdserver` when handing tokens to provisioners.
- Builds a map of provider ID → `*externalauth.Config` during the
existing config iteration
- After fetching the `ExternalAuthLink` from the DB, calls
`cfg.RefreshToken()` if a matching config exists
- On refresh failure, falls through to the existing token (GitHub tokens
without expiry still work) with a debug log
## Problem
Non-admin users of the Agents (chat) feature send `model_config_id:
"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"` (nil UUID) when creating chats,
because the `GET /api/experimental/chats/model-configs` endpoint
requires `policy.ActionRead` on `rbac.ResourceDeploymentConfig`, which
is only granted to admins.
The flow:
1. `AgentsPage.tsx` calls `useQuery(chatModelConfigs())` → hits
`listChatModelConfigs`
2. Non-admin users get a **403 Forbidden** response
3. `chatModelConfigsQuery.data` is `undefined`, so the
`modelConfigIDByModelID` map is empty
4. `handleCreateChat` falls back to `nilUUID` for `model_config_id`
5. The backend rejects the nil UUID: `"Invalid model config ID."`
## Fix
Changed `listChatModelConfigs` to allow all authenticated users to read
model configs:
- **Admin users** continue to see all configs (including disabled ones)
for management via `GetChatModelConfigs`
- **Non-admin users** now see only enabled configs via
`GetEnabledChatModelConfigs` with a system context, which is sufficient
for using the chat feature
This follows the same pattern as `listChatModels`, which already uses
`dbauthz.AsSystemRestricted(ctx)` to allow all authenticated users to
see available models.
Write endpoints (create/update/delete) retain their existing
`ResourceDeploymentConfig` authorization.
## Testing
- Updated `TestListChatModelConfigs/ForbiddenForOrganizationMember` →
`SuccessForOrganizationMember` to verify non-admin users can list
enabled model configs
- All existing chat tests continue to pass
