## Summary
Routes chatd model calls backed by concrete AI Provider rows through the
in-process aibridge transport by default, with deployment options to use
direct provider routing when AI Gateway is disabled or chat AI Gateway
routing is disabled.
- Splits model routing into common, direct provider, and AI Gateway
paths behind a single deployment-mode entry point.
- Builds chatd models through explicit request, route, and options data.
Active API key attribution is passed explicitly instead of being hidden
inside generic model construction.
- For AI Gateway BYOK routes, resolves the user's provider key in chatd,
forwards it through provider-specific auth headers, and sets
`X-Coder-AI-Governance-Token` to the `delegated` marker so aibridge
preserves those headers while still stripping Coder-specific metadata.
- Keeps central provider credentials and deployment fallback credentials
out of forwarded provider auth headers, so AI Gateway central policy
remains authoritative.
- Redacts delegated provider auth from default string formatting to
avoid accidental plaintext logging of user BYOK credentials.
- Covers selected chat models, advisor overrides, title and quickgen
paths, subagent overrides, computer use model selection, and an
integration-style chat turn through the aibridge transport path.
- Persists initiating API key IDs on chat and queued user messages,
including subagent child messages, and fails closed for AI
Gateway-routed model builds without an active key.
- Removes unused `api_key_id` indexes while keeping the persistence
columns and foreign keys.
- Keeps the deployment option available through config and env parsing,
but hides it from CLI help and generated docs.
- Stabilizes the subagent poll fallback test so background CreateChat
processing cannot win the state transition under slower CI environments.

Changes chat turn-end summaries into compact status labels for the
cached `last_turn_summary` and successful web push body.
Uses a structured-output model call for successful turns, requiring a
2-5 word `label` and validating it to reject agent-centric phrasing.
Pending and requires-action states keep deterministic status labels.
Removes the earlier deterministic tool-signal pipeline in favor of the
smaller structured-output path.
The async title-generation and turn-summary goroutines launched from
processChat run autocommit UPDATEs on the chat row after finishActiveChat
has set the chat to pending and signalWake has fired. If the row lock
from one of those UPDATEs is held while acquireLoop's processOnce runs,
AcquireChats's FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED skips the freshly-pending chat and
returns no rows. The wake is then consumed with no acquisition, and the
chat sits in pending until the next acquireTicker (default 1s).
Wake again after each UPDATE commits. The second wake covers the race
window without changing the transaction semantics.
Closescoder/internal#1500
Persists the agent-generated turn-end summary on `chats` and shows it as
the Agents sidebar subtitle when present, falling back to the model
name. Errors still take precedence.

## What changes
**Storage.** New nullable `last_turn_summary` column on `chats`
(migration `000486`). New `UpdateChatLastTurnSummary` query normalizes
blank/whitespace input to `NULL`, preserves `updated_at` (so the chat
does not jump to the top of the sidebar on summary writes), and uses an
`expected_updated_at` stale-write guard so an older async summary cannot
overwrite a newer turn.
**Backend.** `coderd/x/chatd/chatd.go` decouples summary generation from
webpush. Generated summaries persist for completed parent turns even
when webpush is unconfigured or has no subscriptions. The same generated
text is reused as the webpush body when webpush is configured, so the
summary model is not called twice. Generic fallback push text is no
longer persisted; it clears any stale summary instead.
Error/interrupt/pending-action terminal paths clear `last_turn_summary`
for the latest turn.
**Frontend.** `AgentsSidebar.tsx` subtitle priority is now `errorReason
|| lastTurnSummary || modelName`, normalized via the existing
`asNonEmptyString` helper from `blockUtils.ts`.
## Tests
- `TestUpdateChatLastTurnSummary` (database): success,
whitespace-to-NULL, stale guard rejects, `updated_at` preserved.
- `TestUpdateLastTurnSummaryRejectsStaleWrites` (chatd internal): direct
stale-`expected_updated_at` test.
- `TestSuccessfulChatPersistsTurnSummaryWithoutWebPush`: persistence
works without webpush subscriptions.
- `TestSuccessfulChatSendsWebPushWithSummary`: same generated text
drives both DB and push body.
-
`TestSuccessfulChatSendsWebPushFallbackWithoutSummaryForEmptyAssistantText`:
fallback text is not persisted.
- `TestErroredChatClearsLastTurnSummaryAndSendsWebPush`: error path
clears the field.
- `TestInterruptChatDoesNotSendWebPushNotification`: interrupt path
clears the field, no push fires.
- `AgentsSidebar.test.tsx`: subtitle priority for summary-present,
error-wins, no-summary fallback, whitespace fallback.
- `AgentsSidebar.stories.tsx`: `ChatWithTurnSummary` and
`ChatWithTurnSummaryAndError`.
## Notes
- No backfill. Existing chats keep showing the model name until their
next turn completes.
- Parent chats only in this iteration; the field is rendered on any
`Chat` if a future change extends generation to children.
- Decoupling generation from webpush adds quickgen model calls for
completed parent turns that previously skipped generation when no
subscriptions existed. Existing parent-only, assistant-text-present,
`PushSummaryModel` configured, and bounded-timeout gates keep this
behavior bounded.
Adds an admin-configurable deployment-wide setting that controls which
model is used for chat title generation. Admins can pick any enabled
chat model config from the Agents settings page, or leave the setting
unset to keep the existing fast-models-then-chat-model fallback
algorithm.
When a model is selected, both automatic and manual title generation use
only that model, with no silent fallback. When the configured model is
disabled, missing credentials, or otherwise unusable, automatic title
generation skips entirely (best-effort) and manual title regeneration
returns a clear error, so admins notice the misconfiguration instead of
silently routing title traffic through another provider.
## Surface
- New deployment-wide setting stored as a `site_configs` row
(`agents_chat_title_generation_model_override`).
- New experimental endpoint `GET/PUT
/api/experimental/chats/config/model-override/{context}`.
- Frontend: title generation now appears as a third dropdown on the
Agents admin settings page alongside the existing general and explore
context overrides.
## DRY refactors folded in
Title generation is integrated as a third value of the existing
`ChatModelOverrideContext` type alongside `general` and `explore`,
sharing the parameterized HTTP route, SDK methods, generated types, and
frontend API plumbing rather than introducing a parallel surface. The
`Agent` prefix was dropped from the type and route since title
generation is not a delegated agent.
The chatd model-override resolver is also shared.
`resolveConfiguredModelOverride` now takes a `failureMode` parameter:
- Subagent overrides use soft failure: misconfigured overrides are
logged and the parent model is used.
- Title generation uses hard failure: misconfigured overrides return an
explicit error so manual title regeneration surfaces the
misconfiguration and automatic title generation skips instead of
silently falling back.

Chat title generation used free-form text completion, which let models
respond conversationally instead of producing a title. Review chats
started with GitHub URLs were especially affected — models would say "I
don't have the ability to browse external links" and that string became
the persisted title.
Replace the raw-text `generateShortText` path with structured output via
`object.Generate[generatedTitle]`. Both auto-title and manual retitle
now go through the same typed contract: the model must return a JSON
object with a `title` field, validated and normalized before
persistence. Invalid outputs (empty, too long) are rejected and retried
through the existing candidate-model fallback loop.
Short prompts were producing title-generation meta responses such as "I
am a title generator" and prompt-echo titles. This rewrites the
automatic and manual title prompts to be shorter, less self-referential,
and more focused on returning only the title text.
The change also removes the broader post-generation guard layer, updates
manual regeneration to send real conversation text instead of a meta
instruction, and keeps regression coverage focused on the slimmer prompt
contract.
## Summary
Adds a "Generate new title" action that lets users manually regenerate a
chat's title using richer conversation context than the automatic
first-message title path.
## Changes
### Backend
- **New endpoint:** `POST
/api/experimental/chats/{chatID}/title/regenerate` returns the updated
Chat with a regenerated title
- **Manual title algorithm:** Extracts useful user/assistant text turns
→ selects first user turn + last 3 turns → builds context with gap
markers → renders prompt with anti-recency guidance → calls lightweight
model → normalizes output
- **Helpers:** `extractManualTitleTurns`,
`selectManualTitleTurnIndexes`, `buildManualTitleContext`,
`renderManualTitlePrompt`, `generateManualTitle` — all private, with the
public `Server.RegenerateChatTitle` method
- **SDK:** `ExperimentalClient.RegenerateChatTitle(ctx, chatID) (Chat,
error)`
- Persists title via existing `UpdateChatByID` and broadcasts
`ChatEventKindTitleChange`
### Frontend
- API client method + React Query mutation with cache invalidation
- "Generate new title" menu item (with wand icon) in both TopBar and
Sidebar dropdown menus
- Loading/disabled state while regeneration is in-flight
- Error toast on failure
- Stories updated for both menus
### Tests
- `quickgen_test.go`: Table-driven tests for all 4 helper functions
(turn extraction, index selection, context building, prompt rendering)
- `exp_chats_test.go`: Handler tests (ChatNotFound,
NotFoundForDifferentUser, NoDaemon)
## Design notes
- The existing auto-title path (`maybeGenerateChatTitle`, `titleInput`)
is completely unchanged
- Manual regeneration uses richer context (first user turn + last 3
turns + gap markers) vs the auto path's single first message
- Endpoint is experimental and marked with `@x-apidocgen {"skip": true}`
- Add `X-Coder-Owner-Id`, `X-Coder-Chat-Id`, `X-Coder-Subchat-Id`,
`X-Coder-Workspace-Id` headers to all outgoing LLM API requests from
chatd
- Extend `ModelFromConfig` with `extraHeaders` param, forwarded via
Fantasy `WithHeaders` on all 8 providers
- Add `CoderHeaders(database.Chat)` helper to build the header map from
chat state
- Update all 4 `ModelFromConfig` call sites (resolveChatModel,
computer-use override, title gen, push summary)
- Thread `database.Chat` into `generatePushSummary` (was `chatTitle
string`)
- Tests: `TestCoderHeaders` (4 subtests),
`TestModelFromConfig_ExtraHeaders` (OpenAI + Anthropic),
`TestModelFromConfig_NilExtraHeaders`
- Refactor existing `TestModelFromConfig_UserAgent` to use channel-based
signaling
