feat: use startup mode for workspace updates#886
Merged
Conversation
…alls
Replace the boolean firstConnect flag with a typed StartupMode
("prompt" | "start" | "update") so the extension can tell the
workspace state machine exactly what to do on reconnect. The
"Update Workspace" command now sets the mode to "update" and
reloads the window, letting the state machine handle the update
via `coder update` (or the REST fallback for older CLIs).
Also refactors workspace.ts to extract a shared runCliCommand
helper used by both startWorkspace and updateWorkspace.
"prompt" was ambiguous since it could imply prompting for both start and update. "none" makes it clear that no explicit intent was set, and the default behavior (asking) applies. Also bundles restClient and featureSet into CliContext so startWorkspace and updateWorkspace each take a single argument, removes redundant getWorkspace() API calls in favor of using the workspace already passed via context, replaces the cliContext getter with buildCliContext(workspace), and fixes a stale test description.
Make the stopped-workspace dialog offer "Update and Start" when the workspace is outdated, so users can update without going through a separate command. Inline the wantsUpdate getter since it was just hiding a simple equality check on startupMode. Rework the test file to use MockUserInteraction (instead of mocking vscodeProposed directly), MockTerminalSession with content capture, proper agent/resource factories from the shared workspace mock, and a setup() function that returns all test fixtures. Add getMessageCalls() to MockUserInteraction so tests can inspect which buttons were offered in dialogs. Add edge case coverage for agent timeout, created lifecycle, start_timeout, all shutdown states, and getAgentId.

The coder update subcommand gained its stop transition in 2.24.0, not 2.25.0. Also replace splitLines with direct line-ending normalization to avoid emitting broken half-lines on chunk boundaries.
