## Description
Implements the server-side merge logic for the `merge_strategy`
attribute added to `coder_env` in [terraform-provider-coder
v2.15.0](https://github.com/coder/terraform-provider-coder/pull/489).
This allows template authors to control how duplicate environment
variable names are combined across multiple `coder_env` resources.
Relates to https://github.com/coder/coder/issues/21885
## Supported strategies
| Strategy | Behavior |
|----------|----------|
| `replace` (default) | Last value wins — backward compatible |
| `append` | Joins values with `:` separator (e.g. PATH additions) |
| `prepend` | Prepends value with `:` separator |
| `error` | Fails the build if the variable is already defined |
## Example
```hcl
resource "coder_env" "path_tools" {
agent_id = coder_agent.dev.id
name = "PATH"
value = "/home/coder/tools/bin"
merge_strategy = "append"
}
```
## Changes
- **Proto**: Added `merge_strategy` field to `Env` message in
`provisioner.proto`
- **State reader**: Updated `agentEnvAttributes` struct and proto
construction in `resources.go`
- **Merge logic**: Added `mergeExtraEnvs()` function in
`provisionerdserver.go` with strategy-aware merging for both agent envs
and devcontainer subagent envs
- **Tests**: 15 unit tests covering all strategies, edge cases (empty
values, mixed strategies, multiple appends)
- **Dependency**: Bumped `terraform-provider-coder` v2.14.0 → v2.15.0
- **Fixtures**: Updated `duplicate-env-keys` test fixtures and golden
files
## Ordering
When multiple resources `append` or `prepend` to the same key, they are
processed in alphabetical order by Terraform resource address (per the
determinism fix in #22706).
# What this does
Dynamic parameters caches the `./terraform/modules` directory for parameter usage. What this PR does is send over this archive to the provisioner when building workspaces.
This allow terraform to skip downloading modules from their registries, a step that takes seconds.

# Wire protocol
The wire protocol reuses the same mechanism used to download the modules `provisoner -> coder`. It splits up large archives into multiple protobuf messages so larger archives can be sent under the message size limit.
# 🚨 Behavior Change (Breaking Change) 🚨
**Before this PR** modules were downloaded on every workspace build. This means unpinned modules always fetched the latest version
**After this PR** modules are cached at template import time, and their versions are effectively pinned for all subsequent workspace builds.
**This is just the protobuf changes for the PR https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/21398**
Moved `UploadFileRequest` from `provisionerd.proto` -> `provisioner.proto`.
Renamed to `FileUpload` because it is now bi-directional.
This **is backwards compatible**. I tested it to confirm the payloads are identical. Types were just renamed and moved around.
```golang
func TestTypeUpgrade(t *testing.T) {
t.Parallel()
x := &proto2.UploadFileRequest{
Type: &proto2.UploadFileRequest_ChunkPiece{
ChunkPiece: &proto.ChunkPiece{
Data: []byte("Hello World!"),
FullDataHash: []byte("Foobar"),
PieceIndex: 42,
},
},
}
data, err := protobuf.Marshal(x)
require.NoError(t, err)
// Exactly the same output
// EhgKDEhlbGxvIFdvcmxkIRIGRm9vYmFyGCo= on `main`
// EhgKDEhlbGxvIFdvcmxkIRIGRm9vYmFyGCo= on this branch
fmt.Println(base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(data))
}
```
# What this does
This allows provisioner daemons to download files from `coderd`'s `files` table. This is used to send over cached module files and prevent the need of downloading these modules on each workspace build.
Fixes all our Go file imports to match the preferred spec that we've _mostly_ been using. For example:
```
import (
"context"
"time"
"github.com/prometheus/client_golang/prometheus"
"golang.org/x/xerrors"
"gopkg.in/natefinch/lumberjack.v2"
"cdr.dev/slog/v3"
"github.com/coder/coder/v2/codersdk/agentsdk"
"github.com/coder/serpent"
)
```
3 groups: standard library, 3rd partly libs, Coder libs.
This PR makes the change across the codebase. The PR in the stack above modifies our formatting to maintain this state of affairs, and is a separate PR so it's possible to review that one in detail.
Upgrades to slog v3 which includes a small, but backward incompatible API change to the acceptible call arguments when logging. This change allows us to verify via compile time type checking that arguments are correct and won't cause a panic, as was possible in slog v1, which this replaces (v2 was tagged but never used in coder/coder).
It also updates dependencies that also use slog and were updated.
I've left the `aibridge` dependency as a commit SHA, under the assumption that the team there (cc @pawbana @dannykopping ) will tag and update the dependency soon and on their own schedule.
Other dependencies, I pushed new tags.
Provisioner steps broken into smaller granular actions.
Changes:
- `ExtractArchive` moved to `init` request (was in `configure`)
- Writing `tfstate` moved to `plan` (was in `configure`)
- Moved most plan/apply outputs to `GraphComplete`
Prior to this, every workspace build ran `terraform init` in a fresh
directory. This would mean the `modules` are downloaded fresh. If the
module is not pinned, subsequent workspace builds would have different
modules.
Adds some extra meta data sent to provisioners. Also adds a field
`reuse_terraform_workspace` to tell the provisioner whether or not to
use the caching experiment.
Refactors all Terraform file path logic into a centralized tfpath package. This consolidates all path construction into a single, testable Layout type.
Instead of passing around `string` for directories, pass around the `Layout` which has the file location methods on it.
Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/978
- Introduce `CODER_TASK_ID` and `CODER_TASK_PROMPT` to the provisioner
environment
- Make use of new `app_id` field in provider, with a fallback to
`sidebar_app.id` for backwards compatibility
**For now** I've left the `taskPrompt` and `taskID` as a TODO as we do
not yet create these values.
This pull request introduces support for external workspace management, allowing users to register and manage workspaces that are provisioned and managed outside of the Coder.

* GET /api/v2/init-script - Gets the agent initialization script
* By default, it returns a script for Linux (amd64), but with query parameters (os and arch) you can get the init script for different platforms
* GET /api/v2/workspaces/{workspace}/external-agent/{agent}/credentials - Gets credentials for an external agent **(enterprise)**
* Updated queries to filter workspaces/templates by the has_external_agent field
## Description
This PR adds support for `description` and `icon` fields to
`template_version_presets`. These fields will allow displaying richer
information for presets in the UI, improving the user experience when
creating a workspace.
Both fields are optional, non-nullable, and default to empty strings.
## Changes
* Database migration with the addition of `description VARCHAR(128)` and
`icon VARCHAR(256)` columns to the `template_version_presets` table.
* Updated the `CreateWorkspacePageView` in the UI
Note: UI changes will be addressed in a separate PR

Depends on https://github.com/coder/terraform-provider-coder/pull/408
This PR adds support for defining an **autoscaling block** for
prebuilds, allowing number of desired instances to scale dynamically
based on a schedule.
Example usage:
```
data "coder_workspace_preset" "us-nix" {
...
prebuilds = {
instances = 0 # default to 0 instances
scheduling = {
timezone = "UTC" # a single timezone is used for simplicity
# Scale to 3 instances during the work week
schedule {
cron = "* 8-18 * * 1-5" # from 8AM–6:59PM, Mon–Fri, UTC
instances = 3 # scale to 3 instances
}
# Scale to 1 instance on Saturdays for urgent support queries
schedule {
cron = "* 8-14 * * 6" # from 8AM–2:59PM, Sat, UTC
instances = 1 # scale to 1 instance
}
}
}
}
```
### Behavior
- Multiple `schedule` blocks per `prebuilds` block are supported.
- If the current time matches any defined autoscaling schedule, the
corresponding number of instances is used.
- If no schedule matches, the **default instance count**
(`prebuilds.instances`) is used as a fallback.
### Why
This feature allows prebuild instance capacity to adapt to predictable
usage patterns, such as:
- Scaling up during business hours or high-demand periods
- Reducing capacity during off-hours to save resources
### Cron specification
The cron specification is interpreted as a **continuous time range.**
For example, the expression:
```
* 9-18 * * 1-5
```
is intended to represent a continuous range from **09:00 to 18:59**,
Monday through Friday.
However, due to minor implementation imprecision, it is currently
interpreted as a range from **08:59:00 to 18:58:59**, Monday through
Friday.
This slight discrepancy arises because the evaluation is based on
whether a specific **point in time** falls within the range, using the
`github.com/coder/coder/v2/coderd/schedule/cron` library, which performs
per-minute matching rather than strict range evaluation.

This PR implements protobuf streaming to handle large module files by:
1. **Streaming large payloads**: When module files exceed the 4MB limit,
they're streamed in chunks using a new UploadFile RPC method
2. **Database storage**: Streamed files are stored in the database and
referenced by hash for deduplication
3. **Backward compatibility**: Small module files continue using the
existing direct payload method
## Summary
This PR introduces support for expiration policies in prebuilds. The TTL
(time-to-live) is retrieved from the Terraform configuration
([terraform-provider-coder
PR](https://github.com/coder/terraform-provider-coder/pull/404)):
```
prebuilds = {
instances = 2
expiration_policy {
ttl = 86400
}
}
```
**Note**: Since there is no need for precise TTL enforcement down to the
second, in this implementation expired prebuilds are handled in a single
reconciliation cycle: they are deleted, and new instances are created
only if needed to match the desired count.
## Changes
* The outcome of a reconciliation cycle is now expressed as a slice of
reconciliation actions, instead of a single aggregated action.
* Adjusted reconciliation logic to delete expired prebuilds and
guarantee that the number of desired instances is correct.
* Updated relevant data structures and methods to support expiration
policies parameters.
* Added documentation to `Prebuilt workspaces` page
* Update `terraform-provider-coder` to version 2.5.0:

Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/369
We can't know whether a replacement (i.e. drift of terraform state
leading to a resource needing to be deleted/recreated) will take place
apriori; we can only detect it at `plan` time, because the provider
decides whether a resource must be replaced and it cannot be inferred
through static analysis of the template.
**This is likely to be the most common gotcha with using prebuilds,
since it requires a slight template modification to use prebuilds
effectively**, so let's head this off before it's an issue for
customers.
Drift details will now be logged in the workspace build logs:

Plus a notification will be sent to template admins when this situation
arises:

A new metric - `coderd_prebuilt_workspaces_resource_replacements_total`
- will also increment each time a workspace encounters replacements.
We only track _that_ a resource replacement occurred, not how many. Just
one is enough to ruin a prebuild, but we can't know apriori which
replacement would cause this.
For example, say we have 2 replacements: a `docker_container` and a
`null_resource`; we don't know which one might
cause an issue (or indeed if either would), so we just track the
replacement.

This pull request allows coder workspace agents to be reinitialized when
a prebuilt workspace is claimed by a user. This facilitates the transfer
of ownership between the anonymous prebuilds system user and the new
owner of the workspace.
Only a single agent per prebuilt workspace is supported for now, but
plumbing has already been done to facilitate the seamless transition to
multi-agent support.

The warning is due to running a development site-less build. It wouldn't
show in a release build.
This pull request adds support for presets to coder provisioners.
If a template defines presets using a compatible version of the
provider, then this PR will allow those presets to be persisted to the
control plane database for use in workspace creation.
As requested for [this
issue](https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/245) we need to have a
new resource `resources_monitoring` in the agent.
It needs to be parsed from the provisioner and inserted into a new db
table.

Previously a `logProvisionerJobLog` helper was added in
https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/6508 to forward logs from the
provisioner at the correct log level, but this was only used for logs
produced in `buildWorkspace`.
This PR uses this helper for forwarding logs produced in
`runTemplateImportParse` and
`runTemplateImportProvisionWithRichParameters` at the correct log level.
