## Summary Roll out [the feature](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/609576) currently behind the `session_details_side_panel_info_overlay` feature flag. - DRI: @allison_villa - Team Slack channel: `#f_agent-observability` > [!note] > Process and guidance live in the docs — this issue is just the commands and a place to track the rollout. > "Rolling out" means incrementally enabling the flag on GitLab.com to validate stability — it is not the same as releasing the feature, which happens when the flag is removed. > [Feature flag controls](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/controls/) · [Feature flag lifecycle](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product-development/how-we-work/product-development-flow/feature-flag-lifecycle/#feature-flag-lifecycle) ## What could go wrong? In the GitLab Duo side panel, on the agent session details view, this replaces the "Information" toggle with a collapsible "Session details" bar pinned to the bottom of the panel. The information icon button in the panel header is removed, and the old collapsible information section no longer appears; expanding the new bar shows the session ID, the flow that ran and its version, CI job links, and the default model. Risk is limited to the session details view inside the Duo side panel; the full-page (project-level) session details view is unaffected. ## Rollout Run all production `/chatops` in [`#production`](https://gitlab.slack.com/archives/C101F3796) and cross-post the results to `#g_duo_workflow`. Background: [incremental rollout process](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/controls/#process), [feature actors](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/#feature-actors). **Non-production** ``` /chatops gitlab run feature set session_details_side_panel_info_overlay 50 --actors --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref /chatops gitlab run feature set session_details_side_panel_info_overlay true --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref ``` **Production** — percentage rollout (wait at least 15 min between steps, watch dashboards): ``` /chatops gitlab run feature set session_details_side_panel_info_overlay <percentage> --actors ``` Or target specific actors instead: ``` /chatops gitlab run feature set --project=gitlab-org/gitlab,gitlab-org/gitlab-foss session_details_side_panel_info_overlay true /chatops gitlab run feature set --group=gitlab-org,gitlab-com session_details_side_panel_info_overlay true /chatops gitlab run feature set --user=allison_villa session_details_side_panel_info_overlay true ``` ## Before global rollout Confirm the relevant gotchas before going to 100% — see [enabling a feature for GitLab.com](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/controls/#enabling-a-feature-for-gitlabcom): - [ ] [Docs + version history](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/documentation/feature_flags/) updated - [ ] [Breaking changes](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/documentation/release_notes/#deprecations-removals-and-breaking-changes) announced, if any - [ ] [Change management issue](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/infrastructure-platforms/change-management/#feature-flags-and-the-change-management-process) opened, if required - [ ] [External API consumers](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/#do-not-use-feature-flags-in-external-api-consumers) handled with a fail-open mechanism, if applicable ## Cleanup Remove the flag once [deemed stable](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/product-development/how-we-work/product-development-flow/feature-flag-lifecycle/#feature-flag-lifecycle) — see [cleaning up](https://docs.gitlab.com/development/feature_flags/controls/#cleaning-up). Track it here, or open a follow-up [Feature Flag Cleanup issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/new?description_template=Feature%20Flag%20Cleanup). Remove the flag and its YAML definition from the codebase, then: ``` /chatops gitlab run release check <merge-request-url> <milestone> /chatops gitlab run feature delete session_details_side_panel_info_overlay --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref --production ``` Removing the flag also makes the old Information toggle implementation unreachable — delete it too: - [ ] Remove the information icon button and its `showInformationButton` / `informationButtonLabel` / `isSessionInformationVisible` props from the Duo panel header chrome (`ai_panel.vue`, `content_container.vue`) - [ ] Remove the old collapsible information section from the side panel path in `agent_flow_details.vue` (the `gl-collapse` branch and `collapseId`) - [ ] Remove the `infoToggleStates` Apollo query from `ai_panel.vue` Note: keep the `infoToggleStates` reactive variable and `toggleInfoToggle` helper in `ee/app/assets/javascripts/ai/graphql/` — the new overlay still uses them to remember the expanded state per session. ## Rollback ``` /chatops gitlab run feature set session_details_side_panel_info_overlay false # production /chatops gitlab run feature set session_details_side_panel_info_overlay false --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref # non-production /chatops gitlab run feature delete session_details_side_panel_info_overlay --dev --pre --staging --staging-ref --production # remove entirely ``` --- :robot: disclaimer: Generated by AI, but edited by @allison_villa
