…#25855) Adds a new **Provider Configuration** reference page (`providers.md`) covering: - The migration from environment-variable-based provider config to database-backed management introduced in v2.34, including the one-time seeding behavior and deprecation of `CODER_AI_GATEWAY_PROVIDER_<N>_*` and related flags - All supported provider types (`openai`, `anthropic`, `bedrock`, `copilot`, `azure`, `google`, `openrouter`, `vercel`, `openai-compat`) with setup notes for each - Provider lifecycle statuses (`enabled`, `disabled`, `error`) and their effect on request handling - Reload behavior and how configuration changes apply without restarting `coderd` - Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) and failure mode reference table Updates **Setup** (`setup.md`) to replace the environment-variable-based provider configuration instructions with dashboard-driven steps (Add provider form, provider list, edit/disable flow), referencing the new `providers.md` page for deeper detail. Screenshots of the provider list, add, and edit forms are included. Adds a **Provider metrics** section to **Monitoring** (`monitoring.md`) documenting the `coder_aibridged_*` and `coder_aibridgeproxyd_*` Prometheus metrics for provider status and reload timestamps, along with two suggested PromQL alert queries. (cherry picked from commit f9937a8)
…25893) Document the automatic key failover feature for AI Gateway, which allows configuring multiple centralized API keys per provider instance (OpenAI and Anthropic only). ## Changes - **`docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/providers.md`**: Add "Key failover" section covering supported providers, configuration via the API (max 5 keys), and failover behavior (auth errors permanently disable a key until restart/reload, exhausted pool returns `429` or `502`). - **`docs/ai-coder/ai-gateway/auth.md`**: Add note in BYOK section clarifying that key failover is skipped when a user-supplied credential is present. > [!NOTE] > Generated by Coder Agents (by @ssncferreira) (cherry picked from commit 98c2b60)
