Problem Statement

Many users are building automations around Coder, where the control plane is rarely visited, but coder_apps (e.g. code-server) itself are visited commonly.

In some cases, the Coder workspace may be stopped (e.g. if there is a link or it is bookmarked). For the user, the experience looks like this:

Proposal

If the workspace is stopped:

• Show a warning indicating the workspace has stopped with an option to start
• If ?autostart=true is in the URL, this should automatically start the workspace
• Then, when clicked, it should show the condition(s) below

If the workspace is still starting:

• Show the provisioning logs (the tasks provisioning page does this well)

If the startups scripts are still running:

• Show the provisioning logs (the tasks provisioning page does this well
