# Objective
Fix the agent `terminal` tool in headless eval environments. In the eval
sandbox, terminal commands failed before the shell ran with `IOError:
Not a tty (os error 25)` because PTY setup attempted to acquire a
controlling terminal.
## Solution
- Add a `terminal::HeadlessTerminal` global that is set by `eval_cli`
only.
- When headless mode is enabled, run terminal task commands as plain
subprocesses with piped stdout/stderr instead of opening a PTY.
- Pump subprocess output through the existing terminal emulator/event
channel so output capture, completion, and task killing keep working.
- Build ACP terminal commands non-interactively in headless mode.
- Keep the normal editor terminal path unchanged when the global is
unset.
- Handle non-PTY output edge cases by preserving split CRLF sequences
and avoiding an indefinite wait if subprocess exit-status polling
errors.
## Testing
- `cargo fmt --all`
- `cargo test -p util non_interactive_omits_interactive_flag`
- `cargo test -p terminal test_no_pty_task_terminal_captures_output`
- `cargo test -p terminal test_convert_lf_to_crlf_preserves_split_crlf`
- `cargo test -p terminal test_write_output`
- `cargo check -p eval_cli`
- `git --no-pager diff --check`

Release Notes:
- Fixed the agent terminal tool failing with "Not a tty" in
headless/eval environments
This separates the two user-message identities we currently need in
agent threads:
- `protocol_id`: the ACP `messageId` used to group or split streamed
message chunks from ACP agents.
- `client_id`: the Zed-generated user message ID used by the native
agent for truncate, rewind, edit/regenerate, checkpoints, token usage,
and persistence.
The main behavior change is that ACP protocol message IDs now affect
message merging/rendering without leaking Zed-native client IDs into ACP
agents by default. Agents that can accept Zed-generated user message IDs
opt into that path through `AgentSessionClientUserMessageIds`, which
owns both ID generation and prompt submission. The native Zed agent
implements that capability; normal ACP agents continue through the
protocol-only `prompt` path.
In ACP v2 we'll have a mechanism for getting user message replays that
will allow the agent to adequately generate it's own opaque id that we
can then use for these other capabilities. But for now, this split at
least makes sure we keep the two concepts distinct.

This PR decouples `language_model`'s dependence on Zed-specific
implementation details. In particular
* `credentials_provider` is split into a generic `credentials_provider`
crate that provides a trait, and `zed_credentials_provider` that
implements the said trait for Zed-specific providers and has functions
that can populate a global state with them
* `zed_env_vars` is split into a generic `env_var` crate that provides
generic tooling for managing env vars, and `zed_env_vars` that contains
Zed-specific statics
* `client` is now dependent on `language_model` and not vice versa

This removes the assumption that one project <-> one native agent. The
native agent now maintains a project per session. We don't make use of
this right now, but it will come in handy once we start sharing ACP
connections globally.

Emit client-side organization changed events through
`RefreshLlmTokenListener` so it produces the same `RefreshLlmTokenEvent`
used for server-pushed `UserUpdated` messages.
This keeps token refresh fan-out in one place.
Closes CLO-383.
