Problem: previously, the deployment-wide chat template allowlist was never actually wired in from `chatd.go`
- Extracts `parseChatTemplateAllowlist` into shared `coderd/util/xjson.ParseUUIDList`
- Adds `Server.chatTemplateAllowlist()` method that reads the allowlist from DB
- Passes `AllowedTemplateIDs` callback to `ListTemplates`, `ReadTemplate`, and `CreateWorkspace` tool constructors

## Summary
Adds a general-purpose `map[string]string` label system to chats, stored
as jsonb with a GIN index for efficient containment queries.
This is a standalone foundational feature that will be used by the
upcoming Automations feature for session identity (matching webhook
events to existing chats), replacing the need for bespoke session-key
tables.
## Changes
### Database
- **Migration 000451**: Adds `labels jsonb NOT NULL DEFAULT '{}'` column
to `chats` table with a GIN index (`idx_chats_labels`)
- **`InsertChat`**: Accepts labels on creation via `COALESCE(@labels,
'{}')`
- **`UpdateChatByID`**: Supports partial update —
`COALESCE(sqlc.narg('labels'), labels)` preserves existing labels when
NULL is passed
- **`GetChats`**: New `has_labels` filter using PostgreSQL `@>`
containment operator
- **`GetAuthorizedChats`**: Synced with generated `GetChats` (new column
scan + query param)
### API
- **Create chat** (`POST /chats`): Accepts optional `labels` field,
validated before creation
- **Update chat** (`PATCH /chats/{chat}`): Supports `labels` field for
atomic label replacement
- **List chats** (`GET /chats`): Supports `?label=key:value` query
parameters (multiple are AND-ed)
### SDK
- `Chat`, `CreateChatRequest`, `UpdateChatRequest`, `ListChatsOptions`
all gain `Labels` fields
- `UpdateChatRequest.Labels` is a pointer (`*map[string]string`) so
`nil` means "don't change" vs empty map means "clear all"
### Validation (`coderd/httpapi/labels.go`)
- Max 50 labels per chat
- Key: 1–64 chars, must match `[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9._/-]*` (supports
namespaced keys like `github.repo`, `automation/pr-number`)
- Value: 1–256 chars
- 13 test cases covering all edge cases
### Chat runtime
- `chatd.CreateOptions` gains `Labels` field, threaded through to
`InsertChat`
- Existing `UpdateChatByID` callers (e.g., quickgen title updates) are
unaffected — NULL labels preserve existing values via COALESCE
- Stores a deployment-wide agents template allowlist in `site_configs`
(`agents_template_allowlist`)
- Adds `GET/PUT /api/experimental/chats/config/template-allowlist`
endpoints
- Filters `list_templates`, `read_template`, and `create_workspace` chat
tools by allowlist, if defined (empty=all allowed)
- Add "Templates" admin settings tab in Agents UI ([what it looks
like](https://624de63c6aacee003aa84340-sitjilsyrr.chromatic.com/?path=/story/pages-agentspage-agentsettingspageview--template-allowlist))

## What
Adds per-user per-model auto-compaction threshold overrides. Users can
now customize the percentage of context window usage that triggers chat
compaction, independently for each enabled model.
## Why
The compaction threshold was previously only configurable at the
deployment level (`chat_model_configs.compression_threshold`). Different
users have different preferences — some want aggressive compaction to
keep costs low, others prefer higher thresholds to retain more context.
This gives users control without requiring admin intervention.
## Architecture
**Storage:** Reuses the existing `user_configs` table (no migration
needed). Overrides are stored as key/value pairs with keys shaped
`chat_compaction_threshold:<modelConfigID>` and integer percent values.
**API:** Three new experimental endpoints under
`/api/experimental/chats/config/`:
- `GET /user-compaction-thresholds` — list all overrides for the current
user
- `PUT /user-compaction-thresholds/{modelConfig}` — upsert an override
(validates model exists and is enabled, validates 0–100 range)
- `DELETE /user-compaction-thresholds/{modelConfig}` — clear an override
(idempotent)
**Runtime resolution:** In `coderd/chatd/chatd.go`, a new
`resolveUserCompactionThreshold()` helper runs at the start of each chat
turn (inside `runChat()`), after the model config is resolved but before
`CompactionOptions` is built. If a valid override exists, it replaces
`modelConfig.CompressionThreshold`. The threshold source
(`user_override` vs `model_default`) is logged with each compaction
event.
**Precedence:** `effectiveThreshold = userOverride ??
modelConfig.CompressionThreshold`
**UI:** New "Context Compaction" subsection in the Agents → Settings →
Behavior tab, placed after Personal Instructions. Shows one row per
enabled model with the system default, a number input for the override,
and Save/Reset controls.
## Testing
- 9 API subtests covering CRUD, validation (boundary values 0/100,
out-of-range rejection), upsert behavior, idempotent delete, user
isolation, and non-existent model config
- 4 dbauthz tests (16 scenarios) verifying `ActionReadPersonal` /
`ActionUpdatePersonal` on all query methods
- 4 Storybook stories with play functions (Default, WithOverrides,
Loading, Error)
<details>
<summary>Implementation plan</summary>
### Phase 1 — Tests
- Backend API tests in `coderd/chats_test.go` (9 subtests)
- Database auth wrapper tests in
`coderd/database/dbauthz/dbauthz_test.go` (4 methods)
- Frontend stories in `UserCompactionThresholdSettings.stories.tsx` (4
stories)
### Phase 2 — Backend preference surface
- 4 SQL queries in `coderd/database/queries/users.sql` (list, get,
upsert, delete)
- `make gen` to propagate into generated artifacts
- Auth/metrics wrappers in dbauthz and dbmetrics
- SDK types and client methods in `codersdk/chats.go`
- HTTP handlers and routes in `coderd/chats.go` and `coderd/coderd.go`
- Key prefix constant shared between handlers and runtime
### Phase 3 — Runtime override
- `resolveUserCompactionThreshold()` helper in `coderd/chatd/chatd.go`
- Override injection in `runChat()` before building `CompactionOptions`
- `threshold_source` field added to compaction log
### Phase 4 — Settings UI
- API client methods and React Query hooks in `site/src/api/`
- `UserCompactionThresholdSettings` component extracted from
`SettingsPageContent`
- Per-model mutation tracking (only the active row disables during save)
- 100% warning, "System default" label, helpful empty state copy
### Phase 5 — Refactor and review fixes
- Consolidated key prefix constant in `codersdk`
- Explicit PUT range validation (not just struct tags)
- GET handler gracefully skips malformed rows instead of 500
- Boundary value, upsert, and non-existent model config tests
- UX improvements: per-model mutation state, aria-live on errors
</details>
- Moves `coderd/chatd/`, `coderd/gitsync/`, `enterprise/coderd/chatd/`
under `x/` parent directories to signal instability
- Adds `Experimental:` glue code comments in `coderd/coderd.go`
