tl;dr: you can now run `cargo xtask setup_webrtc`, which:
1. Fetches webrtc artifacts into a gitignored directory in Zed repo
2. Adds a [env] section to `~/.cargo/config.toml` on your box which
forces
LK to NOT download webrtc artifacts as a part of its build script
The end result: `cargo clean` is no longer a horrid experience with in
horrid network environments.
Caveats:
1. This does not handle appending to existing cargo config. The setup
script will fail if there's one in place.
2. You need to redo this thing (fetch env var and whatnot) whenever LK
version is bumped.
3. This is not mandatory for builds to work. You only really have to do
this for your own convenience, but builds will work just fine without it
(unless your connection sucks).

> **Foundation PRs:** #53732, #53733, #53734 — These three draft PRs
contain the base refactors (retained workspaces, agent panel overlay
split, ThreadId introduction) that this PR builds on.
## Goal
Remove `DraftId` and merge `draft_threads` + `background_threads` into a
single `retained_threads: HashMap<ThreadId, Entity<ConversationView>>`
in `AgentPanel`. A draft is just a thread that hasn't sent its first
message — no separate identity or storage needed.
## Changes
### agent_panel.rs
- Remove `DraftId` / `DraftIdCounter` / the `Global` impl
- Merge the two maps into `retained_threads`
- Add `thread_id: ThreadId` field to `BaseView::AgentThread`
- Rename methods: `create_draft` → `create_thread`, `activate_draft` →
`activate_retained_thread`, `remove_draft` → `remove_thread`, etc.
- Replace `clear_active_thread` with `show_or_create_empty_draft`
- Update `update_thread_work_dirs` to sync `ThreadMetadataStore` paths
when worktrees change
- Keep `load_agent_thread(...)` cleanup so activating a real thread
removes empty retained drafts
### sidebar.rs
- Remove `active_entry` derivation from `rebuild_contents` (was racing
with deferred effects)
- Add `sync_active_entry_from_panel` called from event handlers instead
- Simplify `ActiveEntry` — remove `ThreadActivation` struct, make
`session_id` optional
- Move `seen_thread_ids` to global scope (was per-group, causing
duplicate thread entries)
- Remove dead code: `clear_draft`, `render_draft_thread`
- Generalize `pending_remote_thread_activation` into
`pending_thread_activation` so all persisted-thread activations suppress
fallback draft reconciliation
- Set the activation guard before local persisted-thread activation
switches workspaces
- Make `reconcile_groups(...)` bail while a persisted-thread activation
is in flight
- On `ActiveViewChanged`, clear empty group drafts as soon as a pending
persisted-thread activation resolves
### thread_metadata_store.rs
- Make `ThreadMetadata.title` an `Option<SharedString>` with
`display_title()` fallback
- Add `update_worktree_paths` for batched path updates when project
worktrees change
### Other crates
- Update all `ThreadMetadata` construction sites and title display sites
across `agent_ui` and `sidebar`
## Fallback draft invariant
This PR now tightens the retained-thread invariant around fallback
drafts vs real thread activation/restoration:
- Fallback drafts are always empty
- User-created drafts worth preserving are non-empty
- While a persisted thread is being activated/restored/loaded, sidebar
reconciliation must not create an empty fallback draft for that target
group/workspace
- Once the real thread becomes active, empty fallback drafts in that
target group are removed
This is enforced by the sidebar-side activation guard plus existing
`AgentPanel` empty-draft cleanup after real-thread load.
## Tests
Added and/or kept focused sidebar regression coverage for:
-
`test_confirm_on_historical_thread_in_new_project_group_opens_real_thread`
-
`test_unarchive_into_inactive_existing_workspace_does_not_leave_active_draft`
-
`test_unarchive_after_removing_parent_project_group_restores_real_thread`
- `test_pending_thread_activation_suppresses_reconcile_draft_creation`
Focused test runs:
- `cargo test -p sidebar activate_archived_thread -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p sidebar unarchive -- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p sidebar archive_last_thread_on_linked_worktree --
--nocapture`
- `cargo test -p sidebar
test_confirm_on_historical_thread_in_new_project_group_opens_real_thread
-- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p sidebar
test_unarchive_into_inactive_existing_workspace_does_not_leave_active_draft
-- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p sidebar
test_unarchive_after_removing_parent_project_group_restores_real_thread
-- --nocapture`
- `cargo test -p sidebar
test_pending_thread_activation_suppresses_reconcile_draft_creation --
--nocapture`
## Test fix
Fixed flaky `test_backfill_sets_kvp_flag` — added per-App `AppDatabase`
isolation in `setup_backfill_test` so backfill tests no longer share a
static in-memory DB.

This PR updates the Git documentation to accurately reflect the current
UI and removes inaccuracies introduced in earlier drafts.
**Changes:**
- **Added Word Diff setting location**: The `word_diff_enabled` setting
is accessible in the Settings Editor under **Languages & Tools >
Miscellaneous**, which wasn't documented.
- **Simplified Remotes section**: Removed claims about command palette
actions for managing remotes that don't exist. The section now
accurately describes the remote selector in the Git Panel.
- **Added File History section**: Combined two paragraphs that said the
same thing.

## Screenshot testing
Adds visual testing infrastructure for GPUI that captures screenshots by
rendering directly to Metal textures. The
The screenshots end up in `target/visual_tests/` and look like this:
<img width="2560" height="1600" alt="workspace_with_editor2"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/54112343-4af1-4347-9bab-f099de97dd29"
/>
<img width="2560" height="1600" alt="project_panel2"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0cd54b61-dace-4398-a28e-0b4d7c2968f6"
/>
### Key Features
- **Direct texture capture**: Screenshots are captured by rendering the
scene to a Metal texture and reading pixels directly from GPU memory,
rather than using ScreenCaptureKit
- **No visibility requirements**: Windows don't need to be visible on
screen since we read directly from the render pipeline
- **Deterministic output**: Captures exactly what GPUI renders, not what
the OS compositor displays
- **No permissions needed**: Doesn't require Screen Recording permission
like ScreenCaptureKit would
### Running the Visual Tests
```bash
# Run visual tests (compares against baselines)
cargo run -p zed --bin visual_test_runner --features visual-tests
# Update baseline images (when UI intentionally changes)
UPDATE_BASELINE=1 cargo run -p zed --bin visual_test_runner --features visual-tests
# View the captured screenshots
open target/visual_tests/
```
### Implementation
- `Window::render_to_image()` - Renders the current scene to a texture
and returns an `RgbaImage`
- `MetalRenderer::render_to_image()` - Core implementation that renders
to a non-framebuffer-only texture
- `VisualTestAppContext` - Test context that uses real macOS platform
rendering
- `VisualTestAppContext::capture_screenshot()` - Synchronous screenshot
capture using direct texture rendering
### Usage
```rust
let mut cx = VisualTestAppContext::new();
let window = cx.open_window(...)?;
let screenshot: RgbaImage = cx.capture_screenshot(window.into())?;
```

Closes #ISSUE
Uses the existing `--dump-all-actions` arg on the Zed binary to generate
an asset of all of our actions so that the `docs_preprocessor` can
injest it, rather than depending on the Zed crate itself to collect all

Expands on #38543 (notably allows setting importance categories and
weights on tests, and a lot of internal refactoring) because I couldn't
help myself. Also allows exporting runs to json and comparing across them. See code for docs.

This PR adds support for the eval to read environment variables from a
`.env` file located in the `crates/eval` directory.
For instance, you can use it to set your Anthropic API key:
```
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=<secret>
```

This removes .envrc, putting it into gitignore as well as building with
crane, as it does not require an up to date hash for a FOD.

cc @mrnugget @jaredramirez
This PR adds a Nix/NixOS development-shell (`shell.nix`), which is based
on the upstream
[nixpkgs](c5d4d45811/pkgs/by-name/ze/zed-editor/package.nix),
as well as its corresponding `flake.nix` file.
To use it, run either the `nix-shell` command (uses the `shell.nix`
file), or the newer but experimental `nix develop` command (uses
`flake.nix`)
~~This has not been tested on macOS, tho preliminary code is there to
try and support it, feel free to report any issues.~~ Zed unfortunately
doesn't build on nix-darwin (see
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/320084), so this PR doesn't aim
to add darwin support.

ping #6687
This is the third iteration of this PR ([v2
here](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/11949)) and uses a
different approach to the first two (the process wrapper lib was a
maintainability nightmare). While the first two attempted to spawn the
necessary processes using flatpak-spawn and host-spawn from the app
inside the sandbox, this version first spawns the cli binary which then
restart's itself *outside* of the sandbox using flatpak-spawn. The
restarted cli process than can call the bundled app binary normally,
with no need for flatpak-spawn because it is already outside of the
sandbox. This is done instead of keeping the cli in the sandbox because
ipc becomes very difficult and broken when trying to do it across the
sandbox.

This PR adds **internal** ability to run arbitrary language servers via
WebAssembly extensions. The functionality isn't exposed yet - we're just
landing this in this early state because there have been a lot of
changes to the `LspAdapter` trait, and other language server logic.
## Next steps
* Currently, wasm extensions can only define how to *install* and run a
language server, they can't yet implement the other LSP adapter methods,
such as formatting completion labels and workspace symbols.
* We don't have an automatic way to install or develop these types of
extensions
* We don't have a way to package these types of extensions in our
extensions repo, to make them available via our extensions API.
* The Rust extension API crate, `zed-extension-api` has not yet been
published to crates.io, because we still consider the API a work in
progress.

This PR adds a REST API to the collab server for searching and
downloading extensions. Previously, we had implemented this API in
zed.dev directly, but this implementation is better, because we use the

This PR adds serialized versions of each of the themes that currently
ship with Zed.
In a future PR we'll be looking to make these the canonical
representations of the built-in themes.
Note that we're intentionally repurposing the `theme_importer` to do
this, so that crate is a bit rough-and-ready at the moment.

Instead, admins are specified using a JSON file, 'admins.json'. This file is
gitignored. If it is not present, there is a default list of admins in
'admins.default.json'.
