## Summary
Adds an in-dashboard AI agent: a chat panel, reachable from any
environment
page, that answers questions about your runs, errors, tasks, and
analytics,
diagnoses why a run failed, charts your data, reads your connected
repo's
source, and answers product and how-to questions. It is gated behind the
`hasDashboardAgentAccess` feature flag (global or per-org, default off),
so
this PR ships disabled: the launcher is hidden unless the flag is
enabled.
## Design
The agent runs as a standalone `chat.agent` Trigger task in its own
internal
package, with no access to the webapp database, Prisma, or ClickHouse.
It reads
the user's data over the public API, acting as the user via a
short-lived
delegated user-actor token minted server-side each turn (never in the
browser),
building on
[#3997](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/3997). The
error and analytics tools use
[#4005](https://github.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/pull/4005)
and the TRQL query API.
The first turn of a new chat streams from a warm webapp route (Head
Start) while
the durable agent boots in parallel. Structured answers (a run-failure
diagnosis
card, a live chart) render through a small typed view catalog rather
than
arbitrary markup. A knowledge lane forwards product and how-to questions
to the
support assistant.
Conversation history lives in a separate Drizzle-backed store on its own
Postgres schema, kept as a display read-model so it can never corrupt
the
agent's model context.
The SDK changes add an `apiClient` option to
`chat.createStartSessionAction` and
`chat.headStart`, and keep the Head Start tool-approval tail intact
across a
custom `prepareMessages` hook so prompt caching and Head Start compose.
