Closes #239
/claim #239

Description

This PR updates the Aider module to support Coder Tasks and AgentAPI. This enables users to interact with Aider through a web-based chat interface within their Coder workspace and allows Aider to report task progress back to the Coder UI.

This change refactors the module to use the existing agentapi module, which handles the installation and management of the AgentAPI server. The Aider startup process is now managed by agentapi, which launches Aider and connects it to the web UI.

The module has been updated to:

  • Integrate the agentapi module for the web interface and task reporting.
  • Configure Aider to report tasks via the Coder Mission Control Plane (MCP).
  • Add install.sh and start.sh scripts to manage the Aider process through AgentAPI.
  • Update the Coder App to launch the AgentAPI web interface.

This isn't ready for review yet, but since it's been assigned to me for a week, I wanted to keep the maintainers in the loop. I've created this draft PR and will be updating it with my progress on the issue. I'll remove the unrelated files soon.

@matifali Although this PR is still in draft and not yet ready for formal review, I'm open to any suggestions to better align it with your expectations. I've attached some videos—would appreciate it if you could take a look and let me know if I'm heading in the right direction.

@bpmct Could you take a look at the video and let me know if this is along the lines of what you were expecting?

Hey @AJ0070. This is excellent progress! To fix the tasks issue, see this template: https://registry.coder.com/templates/coder-labs/tasks-docker

And these docs on how to configure tasks support: https://coder.com/docs/ai-coder/tasks#option-2-create-or-duplicate-your-own-template.

In a particular, AgentAPI should be the sidebar app and an additional app for previewing
