Summary

Adds agent/<name> to the User-Agent of the CLI's API client when getDrivingAgent() detects an agent, so the API can attribute deploys, site creation, and other command calls to agents without relying on telemetry. Also fires a telemetry event when netlify recipes ai-context installs context.

What changed

  • getRequestUserAgent() in command-helpers.ts returns USER_AGENT, plus agent/<name> when an agent is detected (name only, no version or source). base-command.ts passes it to the API client, so anonymous deploys and the commands that reuse apiOpts.userAgent get it too. The USER_AGENT text printed by --version and help is unchanged.
  • ai-context recipe fires sites_aiContextInstalled with { consumer } when it creates or updates a context file. downloadAndWriteContextFiles now returns whether it wrote anything and rejects on a failed download or write, so failures and no-ops don't count. The ticket's ai_context_installed fails the CLI's event-name validation, so this uses the sites object like sites_initStarted. agent comes from track() (feat: attach the driving agent to telemetry events #8504).

Pure env-reading helper for EX-3040 that identifies which AI agent is
driving a CLI invocation, via an ordered signal table and an
announced-name parser. Downstream tickets (EX-3042, EX-3044, EX-3038,
EX-3037) will wire it in; nothing calls it yet.

Replace the plain-object ANNOUNCED_NAME_TABLE with a Map so lookups
can't resolve inherited properties like constructor, __proto__, or
toString. Also broadens the override-priority test to set all
thirteen lower-priority signals at once and assert the full markers
order, and drops the ticket-only header comment for a self-contained
constraint statement.

Replace four near-duplicate single-key tests with one test.each over
constructor, __proto__, and toString, each asserting both NETLIFY_AGENT
and AI_AGENT fall through to the other resolution.

Warp's agent harness injects OZ_RUN_ID and WARP_RUN_ID when it launches
a run, so both now resolve to `warp`, placed ahead of AI_AGENT. An
unknown NETLIFY_AGENT value now wins over recognized markers so the raw
value is never dropped.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y8HbdxER5EJPxNKqcorkTp
Type `name` and `markers` as CanonicalAgentName, match announced names
case-insensitively while preserving otherValue casing, keep a version
parsed from NETLIFY_AGENT, and tag the docs fence as bash.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y8HbdxER5EJPxNKqcorkTp
Warp run markers now sit last so the agent inside a Warp run wins and
Warp is recorded in markers. Kiro requires both AGENT_DISPLAY_OUT and
AGENT_CONTEXT_OUT. CODEX_VERSION passes through the same character
filter and 64-character cap as announced names. The NETLIFY_AGENT docs
section moves to the first consumer PR, since nothing reads the helper
yet.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y8HbdxER5EJPxNKqcorkTp
Split the cross-vendor name@version form before sanitizing so
[email protected] resolves to codex 1.2.3. The first match now wins
outright: every tier ahead of AI_AGENT returns a recognized name, and
both explicit announcements keep their raw value when unknown. A value
that sanitizes to nothing is treated as unset.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y8HbdxER5EJPxNKqcorkTp
Add the spellings the cross-vendor convention documents (cursor-cli,
github-copilot, github-copilot-cli, gemini-cli, kiro-cli, warp-oz) and
normalize underscores to dashes for table lookup so either separator
resolves. Note in the header that the result is untrusted attribution.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y8HbdxER5EJPxNKqcorkTp
Build the request User-Agent in one place (src/utils/user-agent.ts) and use
it for the API client, the Drop API, and telemetry requests. When an agent
is detected it appends agent/<name>; otherwise the header is unchanged. The
printed USER_AGENT (--version, help) keeps its original text.

Track sites_aiContextInstalled with the consumer when the ai-context recipe
installs context files. The ticket's ai_context_installed name fails the
CLI's event-name validation, so it uses the existing sites object instead.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved authentication handling for invalid tickets and authorization links.
    • AI context setup now correctly reports whether files were updated.
    • Improved error handling when context files cannot be downloaded or written.
    • Prevented unnecessary telemetry when no context files are changed.
    • Enhanced request identification for environments using an automated agent.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for AI context update, failure, and no-change scenarios.
    • Added coverage for request identification and authentication behavior.

Walkthrough

The change adds driving-agent information to request User-Agent values and updates BaseCommand authentication handling. AI context downloads now report whether files were written, propagate failures, and record installation telemetry only after successful writes. Unit tests cover User-Agent generation, download results, error propagation, and telemetry conditions.

Telemetry requests now send the same User-Agent as API requests, so the
integration test compares against USER_AGENT instead of name/version.

commit: 3eb21ee

Add netlifyFetch, which sets the request User-Agent, and use it for every
raw request to a Netlify-controlled endpoint: Drop API, database, logs,
live tunnels, AI context downloads, and geolocation. Log-stream websockets
send the same header. Blobs commands pass netlifyFetchForOrigin, which adds
the header only for the API origin, so presigned storage URLs are untouched.
Third-party, presigned, and local requests keep plain fetch.

downloadAndWriteContextFiles now rejects when a download or write fails and
returns whether it wrote anything, so sites_aiContextInstalled fires only
when context files were actually created or updated.

seancdavis and others added 2 commits September 10, 2026 14:43
Per review, only the primary API paths need attribution: the API client
(deploys, site creation, and other command calls), the Drop API, and
telemetry. Remove netlifyFetch and restore the database, logs, live
tunnel, AI context, geolocation, websocket, and Blobs requests to their
previous headers. The sites_aiContextInstalled fix stays.

@seancdavis seancdavis changed the title feat: add the driving agent to outgoing User-Agent headers feat: add the driving agent to the CLI's API User-Agent Sep 11, 2026
Take main's agent-detection files (#8492 was squash-merged and #8504
changed them). Drop the Drop API, telemetry, and separate user-agent
module changes: anonymous deploys already reuse the API client's header,
and telemetry events carry the agent as a property. getRequestUserAgent
now lives next to USER_AGENT in command-helpers.
