These items came up in an internal "bug bash" session yesterday.
@EdwardAngert note: I've reverted to the "transparent" phrasing; the
current docs confused a couple folks yesterday, and I feel that
"transparent" is clearly understood in this context.

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.

Fixes docs troubleshooting language around low MTU. In fact, we see
conenctions hanging rather than just showing low performance, since

## Issue
Closes#16875
Clarify how Coder authentication works with Git providers, particularly
the order of authentication methods used.
## Changes Made
I've updated the External Authentication documentation to:
1. Clarify that Coder first attempts to use external auth provider
tokens when available, and only defaults to SSH authentication if no
tokens are available
2. Add more detailed explanations about both authentication methods
3. Improve the description of how the `coder gitssh` command works with
existing and Coder-generated SSH keys
## Verification
Claude verified that this accurately describes the behavior of the
codebase by reviewing the `gitssh.go` implementation, which shows how
Coder handles SSH authentication as a fallback when external auth is not
available.

#15896 Mentions ability to add support for filtering by login type
The issue mentions that backend API support exists but the backend did
not seem to have the support for this filter. So I have added the
ability to filter it.
I also added a corresponding update to readme file to make sure the docs
will correctly showcase this feature
## Issue
Closes#16824
Document that the default GitHub authentication app provided by Coder
requires device flow, and that this behavior cannot be overridden.
## Changes Made
Claude updated the GitHub authentication documentation to:
1. Add a prominent warning in the Default Configuration section
explaining that the default GitHub app requires device flow and ignores
the `CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_DEVICE_FLOW` setting
2. Clarify the Device Flow section to indicate that:
- Device flow is always enabled for the default GitHub app
- Device flow is optional for custom GitHub OAuth apps
- The `CODER_OAUTH2_GITHUB_DEVICE_FLOW` setting is ignored when using
the default app

## Summary
- Clarifies that the CODER_EXTERNAL_AUTH_0_ID value is used as part of
the OAuth callback URL path
- Adds explicit callback URL examples to GitLab and Bitbucket Server
sections
- Updates the GitHub OAuth app configuration instructions to be more
explicit
- Fixes the documentation mistake where it claimed this ID was only for
"internal reference"
## Test plan
- Documentation change only
- Verified consistency across all OAuth provider sections
Fixes#16851

## Issue
Closes#16206
(thanks @bjornrobertsson - not sure why I can't tag you as a reviewer)
Mismatch between the SMTP configuration UI and the documentation.
## Verification
Claude verified this issue by examining:
1. The current SMTP configuration code in the codebase
2. The CLI help documentation for the server command
3. The examples provided in the notifications documentation
The issue was confirmed by finding:
- A reference to a deprecated variable
`CODER_NOTIFICATIONS_EMAIL_FORCE_TLS` instead of the current
`CODER_EMAIL_FORCE_TLS`
- Missing information about the port format required for the SMTP
smarthost
## Changes made
1. Updated the `--email-smarthost` description to clarify that the
format should include both hostname and port: `(format:
hostname:port)`
2. Fixed the reference to the TLS environment variable in the STARTTLS
description, replacing the deprecated
`CODER_NOTIFICATIONS_EMAIL_FORCE_TLS` with the correct
`CODER_EMAIL_FORCE_TLS`
## Additional information
The Gmail and Outlook examples in the documentation already correctly
show the port included in the smarthost configuration, but the main
description table needed to be updated to explicitly mention this
requirement.

Pre-requisite for https://github.com/coder/coder/pull/16891
Closes https://github.com/coder/internal/issues/515
This PR introduces a new concept of a "system" user.
Our data model requires that all workspaces have an owner (a `users`
relation), and prebuilds is a feature that will spin up workspaces to be
claimed later by actual users - and thus needs to own the workspaces in
the interim.
Naturally, introducing a change like this touches a few aspects around
the codebase and we've taken the approach _default hidden_ here; in
other words, queries for users will by default _exclude_ all system
users, but there is a flag to ensure they can be displayed. This keeps
the changeset relatively small.
This user has minimal permissions (it's equivalent to a `member` since
it has no roles). It will be associated with the default org in the
initial migration, and thereafter we'll need to somehow ensure its
membership aligns with templates (which are org-scoped) for which it'll
need to provision prebuilds; that's a solution we'll have in a
subsequent PR.
