We used to just use the anchor resolution function that allows resolving
multiple anchors in one loop before. That has a lot of overhead though
when we only have a single anchor to resolve, so instead we just
specialize that case now as resolving a single anchor to an offset is a
super common operation.

Many editors such as vim and emacs support "modelines", a comment at the
beginning of the file that allows the file type to be explicitly
specified along with per-file specific settings
- The amount of configurations, style and settings mapping cannot be
handled in one go, so this opens up a lot of potential improvements.
- I left out the possiblity to have "zed" specific modelines for now,
but this could be potentially interesting.
- Mapping the mode or filetype to zed language names isn't obvious
either. We may want to make it configurable.
This is my first contribution to zed, be kind. I struggled a bit to find
the right place to add those settings. I use a similar approach as done
with editorconfig (merge_with_editorconfig). There might be better ways.
Closes#4762
Release Notes:
- Add basic emacs/vim modeline support.
Supersedes #41899, changes:
- limit reading to the first and last 1kb
- add documentation
- more variables handled
- add Arc around ModelineSettings to avoid extra cloning
- changed the way mode -> language mapping is done, thanks to
`modeline_aliases` language config
- drop vim ex: support
- made "Local Variables:" handling a separate commit, so we can drop it
easily
- various code style improvements

When committing, it was possible for the left-hand side multibuffer to
get the updated base text (via the `buffer_changed_since_sync`
mechanism) without updating its diff snapshot for that buffer (via the
diff subscription), causing a mismatch between that multibuffer's diff
state and its buffer state. The fix is to ensure for inverted diffs that
we always update pull an updated diff snapshot as part of
`sync_from_buffer_changes`.
This also removes some code that we added in #44838 to sync the
left-hand side multibuffer when edits on the right-hand side invalided
diff hunks. Instead, the left-hand side will just sync the next time the
diff recalculates when this happens, and will always consider hunks from
the last diff calculation as valid--so there will be a short window
where the diff transforms and `diff_hunks_in_range` don't match between
the two sides. That's okay because we don't rely on this in the display
map--the code that translates positions between the two sides accesses
the diff's `InternalDiffHunk`s directly rather than going through a
multibuffer API.

This PR implements a UI for the side-by-side diff, using blocks to align

Long story short:
1. Whenever we pick a buffer for mutation in
b8c5f672cd/crates/multi_buffer/src/multi_buffer.rs (L3831),
we seed from a hashmap<BufferId, _>.
2. That HashMap is not RNG-seeded by
itself (good), but the BufferIds are: they are derived from entity ID in
b8c5f672cd/crates/project/src/buffer_store.rs (L641)
3.^ was introduced in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/10347
4.The HashMap is not randomized, but the order of it's values could
shift
when the keys (buffer ids) change.
5. Thus, we'll end up mutating a
different buffer in the multi-buffer when BufferIds shift around.
Our "fix" is that we're using a btreemap for buffer storage, which
should ensure that the order of iteration (and seeding) the candidates
matches up with the order of buffer creation.

## Motivation
This PR unifies the async execution infrastructure between GPUI and
other components that depend on the `scheduler` crate (such as our cloud
codebase). By having a scheduler that lives independently of GPUI, we
can enable deterministic testing across the entire stack - testing GPUI
applications alongside cloud services with a single, unified scheduler.
## Summary
This PR completes the integration of the `scheduler` crate into GPUI,
unifying async execution and enabling deterministic testing of GPUI
combined with other components that depend on the scheduler crate.
## Key Changes
### Scheduler Integration (Phases 1-5, previously completed)
- `TestDispatcher` now delegates to `TestScheduler` for timing, clock,
RNG, and task scheduling
- `PlatformScheduler` implements the `Scheduler` trait for production
use
- GPUI executors wrap scheduler executors, selecting `TestScheduler` or
`PlatformScheduler` based on environment
- Unified blocking logic via `Scheduler::block()`
### Dead Code Cleanup
- Deleted orphaned `crates/gpui/src/platform/platform_scheduler.rs`
(older incompatible version)
## Intentional Removals
### `spawn_labeled` and `deprioritize` removed
The `TaskLabel` system (`spawn_labeled`, `deprioritize`) was removed
during this integration. It was only used in a few places for test
ordering control.
cc @maxbrunsfeld @as-cii - The new priority-weighted scheduling in
`TestScheduler` provides similar functionality through
`Priority::High/Medium/Low`. If `deprioritize` is important for specific
test scenarios, we could add it back to the scheduler crate. Let me know
if this is blocking anything.
### `start_waiting` / `finish_waiting` debug methods removed
Replaced by `TracingWaker` in `TestScheduler` - run tests with
`PENDING_TRACES=1` to see backtraces of pending futures when parking is
forbidden.
### Realtime Priority removed
The realtime priority feature was unused in the codebase. I'd prefer to
reintroduce it when we have an actual use case, as the implementation
(bounded channel with capacity 1) could potentially block the main
thread. Having a real use case will help us validate the design.
## Testing
- All GPUI tests pass
- All scheduler tests pass
- Clippy clean

Follow-up to #46001
That initial fix partly addressed the issue for diffs managed by the
`GitStore`, but not for other diffs (e.g. those managed by the
`ActionLog` or `CommitView`). The underlying issue is that we switched
to using a `Buffer` to represent the diff base text, and when updating
the diff we were calling `set_text` on this buffer and not waiting for
reparsing to finish. When the base text was represented by a series of
independent `BufferSnapshot`s, this wasn't an issue because we would
parse the base text in the background as part of computing the diff
update. This PR fixes the issue by waiting on reparsing to finish after
each call to `set_text`.

Closes#45046
The root of the issue is anchor resolution. When we apply adjacent
edits, they get merged into a single edit. In the scenario described in
the issue, this is what happens:
1. We create an anchor at the end of each selection (bias::right) on the
snapshot before the edits.
2. We collect the edits and apply them to the buffer.
3. Since the edits are adjacent (>=), the buffer merges them into a
single edit.
4. As a result, we apply one edit to the text buffer, creating a single
visible fragment with length = 3.
5. The buffer ends up with fragments like: [F(len = 3, visible = true),
F(len = 1, visible = false), ...]
6. After the edits, we resolve the previously created anchors to produce
zero-width selections (cursors).
7. All anchors resolve into deleted fragments, so their resolved offset
equals the cumulative visible offset, which is 3.
8. We now have 3 cursors with identical coordinates (0;3).
9. These cursors get merged into a single cursor.
I tried several approaches, but they either felt wrong or didn’t work.
In particular, I tried adjusting anchor resolution using the delta
stored in handle_input, but this doesn’t help because selections are
merged immediately after anchor resolution.
The only workable solution I found is to avoid anchors entirely for the
adjacent-edit case. Instead, we can compute the final cursor positions
directly from the edits and create the selections based on that
information.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where adjacent selection insert would merge cursors

This mimics VSCode's `files.readonlyExclude` setting, to allow setting
specific path matches as readonly locations like lockfiles and generated
sources etc.
Also renders a lock icon to the right side of the path names for
readonly files now.
This does a couple more things for completion sake:
- Tabs of readonly buffers now render a file lock icon
- Multibuffer buffer headers now render a file lock icon if the excerpts
buffer is readonly
- ReadWrite multibuffers now no longer allow edits to read only buffers
contained within
Release Notes:
- Added `read_only_files` setting to allow specifying glob patterns of
files that should not be editable by default

This PR reworks the (still feature-gated) side-by-side diff view to use
a different approach to representing the multibuffers on the left- and
right-hand sides.
Previously, these two multibuffers used identical sets of buffers and
excerpts, and were made to behave differently by adding a new knob to
the multibuffer controlling how diffs are displayed. Specifically, the
left-hand side multibuffer would filter out the added range of each hunk
from the excerpts using a new `FilteredInsertedHunk` diff transform, and
the right-hand side would simply not show the deleted sides of expanded
hunks. This approach has some problems:
- Line numbers, and actions that navigate by line number, behaved
incorrectly for the left-hand side.
- Syntax highlighting and other features that use the buffer syntax tree
also behaved incorrectly for the left-hand side.
In this PR, we've switched to using independent buffers to build the
left-hand side. These buffers are constructed using the base texts for
the corresponding diffs, and their lifecycle is managed by `BufferDiff`.
The red "deleted" regions on the left-hand side are represented by
`BufferContent` diff transforms, not `DeletedHunk` transforms. This
means each excerpt on the left represents a contiguous slice of a single
buffer, which fixes the above issues by construction.
The tradeoff with this new approach is that we now have to manually
synchronize excerpt ranges from the right side to the left, which we do
using `BufferDiffSnapshot::row_to_base_text_row`.

The failure would happen if the current version of the file was open as
an editor. This happened because the git blob and current version of the
buffer would have the same `ProjectPath`.
The fix was adding a new `DiskState::Historic` variant to represent
buffers that are past versions of a file (usually a snapshot from
version control). Historic buffers don't return a `ProjectPath` because
the file isn't real, thus there isn't and shouldn't be a `ProjectPath`
to it. (At least with the current way we represent a project path)
I also change the display name to use the local OS's path style instead
of being hardcoded to Posix, and cleaned up some code too.

Before this change, white space would be trimmed from word diff ranges.
Users found this behavior confusing, so we're changing it to be more
inline with how GitHub treats whitespace in their word diffs.

Imitating the approach of #41829. Prevents e.g. reverting a hunk and
having that excerpt yanked out from under the cursor.

The registration ID responsible for generating each diagnostic is now
tracked. This allows us to replace only the diagnostics from the same
registration ID when a pull diagnostics report is applied.
Additionally, various deficiencies in our support for pull diagnostics
have been fixed:
- Document pulls are issued for all open buffers, not just the edited
one. A shorter debounce is used for the edited buffer. Workspace
diagnostics are also now ignored for open buffers.
- Tracking of `lastResultId` is improved.
- Stored pull diagnostics are discarded when the corresponding buffer is
closed.
Release Notes:
- Improved compatibility with language servers that use the "pull
diagnostics" feature of Language Server Protocol.

This PR adds word/character diff for expanded diff hunks that have both
a deleted and added section, as well as a setting `word_diff_enabled` to
enable/disable word diffs per language.
- `word_diff_enabled`: Defaults to true. Whether or not expanded diff
hunks will show word diff highlights when they're able to.
### Preview
<img width="1502" height="430" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1a8d5b71-449e-44cd-bc87-d6b65bfca545"
/>
### Architecture
I had three architecture goals I wanted to have when adding word diff
support:
- Caching: We should only calculate word diffs once and save the result.
This is because calculating word diffs can be expensive, and Zed should
always be responsive.
- Don't block the main thread: Word diffs should be computed in the
background to prevent hanging Zed.
- Lazy calculation: We should calculate word diffs for buffers that are
not visible to a user.
To accomplish the three goals, word diffs are computed as a part of
`BufferDiff` diff hunk processing because it happens on a background
thread, is cached until the file is edited, and is only refreshed for
open buffers.
My original implementation calculated word diffs every frame in the
Editor element. This had the benefit of lazy evaluation because it only
calculated visible frames, but it didn't have caching for the
calculations, and the code wasn't organized. Because the hunk
calculations would happen in two separate places instead of just
`BufferDiff`. Finally, it always happened on the main thread because it
was during the `EditorElement` layout phase.
I used Zed's
[`diff_internal`](02b2aa6c50/crates/language/src/text_diff.rs (L230-L267))
as a starting place for word diff calculations because it uses
`Imara_diff` behind the scenes and already has language-specific
support.
#### Future Improvements
In the future, we could add `AST` based word diff highlights, e.g.
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43691.
Release Notes:
- git: Show word diff highlight in expanded diff hunks with less than 5
lines.
- git: Add `word_diff_enabled` as a language setting that defaults to
true.

There is still room for improvement here as `anchor(s)_in_excerpt` is
generally a bad API here due to it reseeking the entire excerpt tree
from the start on every call which we don't really need. But this at
least cuts the seeks down by a factor of 4 for now.

The bug is easily verified by:
1. open any multi-buffer
2. place the cursor at the beginning of an excerpt
3. run the editor::ExpandExcerpts / editor: expand excerpts action
4. The excerpt is not expanded
Since the `buffer_ids_for_range` function basically did the same and had
even been changed the same way earlier I DRYed these functions as well.
Note: I'm a rust novice, so keep an extra eye on rust technicalities
when reviewing :)

This PR introduces a new `MultiBufferOffset` new type wrapping size. The
goal of this is to make it clear at the type level when we are
interacting with offsets of a multi buffer versus offsets of a language
/ text buffer. This improves readability of things quite a bit by making
it clear what kind of offsets one is working with while also reducing
accidental bugs by using the wrong kin of offset for the wrong API.
This PR also uncovered two minor bugs due to that.
Does not yet introduce the MultiBufferPoint equivalent, that is for a
follow up PR.
Release Notes:

As discussed in the first responders meeting. We have collected a lot of
backtraces from these, but it's not quite clear yet what causes this.
Removing these should ideally make things a bit more stable even if we
may run into panics later one when the faulty anchor is used still.

## Add relative line numbers on wrapped lines, take 2
This is a rework of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/39268
that excludes
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/39268/commits/e7096d27a6463f6eb7c2a821637c5773b2460c10.
This commit introduced some line number rendering issues as described in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/41422.
While @ConradIrwin suggested we try to pass in the buffer rows from the
calling method instead of the snapshot, that
appears to have had unintended consequences and I don't think the two
calculations were intended to do the same thing. Hence, this PR has
removed those changes.
This PR also includes the migration fix originally done by @MrSubidubi
in https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/41351.
## Original PR description and release notes.
**Problem:** Current relative line numbering creates a mismatch with
vim-style navigation when soft wrap is enabled. Users must mentally
calculate whether target lines are wrapped segments or logical lines,
making `<n>j/k` navigation unreliable and cognitively demanding.
**How things work today:**
- Real line navigation (`j/k` moves by logical lines): Requires
determining if visible lines are wrapped segments before jumping. Can't
jump to wrapped lines directly.
- Display line navigation (`j/k` moves by display rows): Line numbers
don't correspond to actual row distances for multi-line jumps.
**Proposed solution:** Count and number each display line (including
wrapped segments) for relative numbering. This creates direct
visual-to-navigational correspondence, where the relative number shown
always matches the `<n>j/k` distance needed.
**Benefits:**
- Eliminates mental overhead of distinguishing wrapped vs. logical lines
- Makes relative line numbers consistently actionable regardless of wrap
state
- Preserves intuitive "what you see is what you navigate" principle
- Maintains vim workflow efficiency in narrow window scenarios
Also explained and discussed in
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/25733.
Release Notes:
- Added support for counting wrapped lines as relative lines and for
displaying line numbers for wrapped segments. Changes
`relative_line_numbers` from a boolean to an enum: `enabled`,
`disabled`, or `wrapped`.
Prior we were only updating the diagnostics pane when it is either
unfocued, saved or when a disk based diagnostic run finishes (aka cargo
check). The reason for this is simple, we do not want to take away the
excerpt under the users cursor while they are typing if they manage to
fix the diagnostic. Additionally we need to prevent dropping the changed
buffer before it is saved.
Delaying updates was a simple way to work around these kind of issues,
but comes at a huge annoyance that the diagnostics pane is not actually
reflecting the current state of the world but some snapshot of it
instead making it less than ideal to work within it for languages that
do not leverage disk based diagnostics (that is not rust-analyzer, and
even for rust-analyzer its annoying).
This PR changes this. We now always live update the view but take care
to retain unsaved buffers as well as buffers that contain a cursor in
them (as well as some other "checkpoint" properties).
Release Notes:
- Improved diagnostics pane to live update when editing within its
editor
When doing a project wide search in zed on windows for `hang`, zed
starts to freeze for a couple seconds ultimately starting to error with
`Not enough quota is available to process this command.` when
dispatching windows messages. The cause for this is that we simply
overload the windows message pump due to the sheer amount of foreground
tasks we spawn when we populate the project search.
This PR is an attempt at reducing this.
Release Notes:
- Reduced hangs and stutters in large project file searches
