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.

closes#17706
Clarify that:
1. URL query parameters work without experiment flag
2. The 'populate recently used parameters' feature still requires the
auto-fill-parameters experiment flag

This change documents the early access dev containers integration and
how to enable it, what features are available and what limitations exist
at the time of writing.

* chore(docs): update docs re workspace tag default values
* chore(coderdenttest): use random name instead of t.Name() in newExternalProvisionerDaemon
* fix(provisioner/terraform/tfparse): allow empty values in coder_workspace_tag defaults
This PR changes template names and docs to follow the
`<provider>-<os/whatever>` format for all templates.
I've decided not to split this into multiple PRs because I'd have to
edit rebase the other PRs once one of them gets merged, this should be
relatively low-impact anyways.
This aligns with our goals to make templates more user-friendly.
Closes#15754
- Adds documentation for how to correctly hold --parameter with list(string)
- Adds tests for the aforementioned documented correct finger positions for --parameter list(string)
This PR aims to rename `build-option` to `ephemeral-parameters` based on
#10488 conversation.
`build-option` has been renamed `ephemeral-parameter` and can be used to
define a value for an ephemeral parameter in the template.
`build-options` has been renamed `prompt-ephemeral-parameters` and can
be used to prompt the user to put values for the ephemeral parameters in
the template.
