# Diagnostics Mention in New Threads
## Overview
Adds the `@diagnostics` mention to the new Agent Panel threads so users
can inject current LSP diagnostics (errors by default) without switching
to a text thread. The diagnostics mention is fully integrated into ACP
mention parsing, the context picker, and the message-editor pipeline so
it round-trips cleanly and shows up in the standard `@` menu.
## Context
- **Request:** bring `/diagnostics` parity to the “New Thread” assistant
experience.
- **Scope:** diagnostics only; `/terminal` mention would be implemented
in a separate PR.
- **Docs:** updated Agent Panel docs + changelog.
## Implementation Details
1. **Mention plumbing**
- Added `MentionUri::Diagnostics` to `acp_thread`, including parsing
(`zed:///agent/diagnostics?include_warnings=true`) and icon/name
metadata.
- Tests ensure diagnostics links round-trip via Markdown mention
serialization.
2. **Context picker / completion**
- New `ContextPickerMode::Diagnostics` exposes an `@diagnostics` entry
in the mention menu.
- Completions turn `@diagnostics` into a fully fledged mention, reusing
the existing confirmation pipeline.
3. **Message editor + thread serialization**
- Resolving the mention calls the existing diagnostics collector from
`assistant_slash_commands`, embedding the tool output inline with other
context blocks (`<diagnostics>…</diagnostics>`).
- Thread-link handling ignores diagnostics backlinks so clicking them
doesn’t try to reopen nonexistent resources.

Closes#40322
When users run multi-line terminal commands, the confirmation dialog was
only showing the first line with '- N more lines' truncated. This meant
dangerous commands like 'rm -rf' or 'sudo' operations could be hidden
from view, creating a security risk.
Now terminal commands always display in full, with scroll support for
very long commands (20+ lines) to keep the confirmation buttons visible.
Other tools continue using truncation for better UI efficiency since
they don't pose the same security concerns.
Release Notes:
- Agent: Fixed terminal command truncation in the agent panel to better
expose long commands (e.g., potentially dangerous multi-line commands
are now fully visible before execution)

This PR improves the visual test infrastructure:
- Adds controllable foreground executor for deterministic task
scheduling
- Adds tooltip hover testing capability
- Improves error handling in visual test runner
- Includes planning documentation for the approach
Release Notes:
- N/A
I really enjoyed this feature in Claude Code. Helps me get a sense of
how effortful something is.
Release Notes:
- Added a "show_turn_stats" setting, default to false, that shows the
timer and the number of tokens down.
Before this we failed to parse some file:/// links the agent would
generate causing it to open in the system default app and not zed.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Previously, if you stopped the terminal prematurely, the agent would
assume the terminal process had timed out. Now it knows what happened
and can see the output:
<img width="718" height="885" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-07 at 12 40 23 AM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a5ea14b2-249c-4ada-9f20-d6b608f829e5"
/>
Release Notes:
- Stopping the terminal tool now allows the agent to see its output up
to that point.
Now when the agent reads images (which the tool now explicitly
advertises to agents that it is capable of; previously the tool said it
could only read text even though it can actually read images), we see
them in the thread, and also they are auto-expanded by default so you
can see them when scrolling through:
<img width="725" height="1019" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-06 at 2 57 11 PM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c908bad-48f2-46c2-afaa-7f189a178e05"
/>
This also adds a visual regression test that verifies images render
correctly in the agent thread view.
Unlike our previous visual tests, this one only renders the agent panel,
not the entire Zed window.
The "screenshot" it generates (rendered to a Metal texture) is from
completely mocked/simulated data structures, and looks like this:

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/89a0921f-59e9-4dfe-94b2-4c3b625a851b"
/>
## Changes
- **New visual test**: `agent_thread_with_image` renders an
`AcpThreadView` containing a tool call with image content (the Zed app
icon)
- **Test infrastructure**: Added `StubAgentServer` helper and required
feature flags for visual testing
- **Test-support API**: Added `expand_tool_call()` method to
`AcpThreadView` to allow expanding tool calls for visual testing
- **Baseline screenshot**: Included baseline image showing the Zed logo
rendered in a tool call output
## How to run
```bash
# Run the visual tests
cargo run -p zed --bin visual_test_runner --features visual-tests
# Update baselines if UI intentionally changed
UPDATE_BASELINE=1 cargo run -p zed --bin visual_test_runner --features visual-tests
```

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`.
Release Notes:
- N/A
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`.

This PR adds the ability to favorite models for external agents—writing
to the settings in the `agent_servers` key—as well as a handful of other
improvements:
- Make the cycling keybinding `alt-enter` work for the inline assistant
as well as previous user messages
- Better organized the keybinding files removing some outdated
agent-related keybinding definitions
- Renamed the inline assistant key context to "InlineAssistant" as
"PromptEditor" is old and confusing
- Made the keybindings to rate an inline assistant response visible in
the thumbs up/down button's tooltip
- Created a unified component for the model selector tooltip given we
had 3 different places creating the same element
- Make the "Cycle Favorited Models" row in the tooltip visible only if
there is more than one favorite models
Release Notes:
- agent: External agents also now support the favoriting model feature,
which comes with a handy keybinding to cycle through the favorite list.
Release Notes:
- Fixed spurious "no checkpoint" error in agent panel
---
## Summary
`update_last_checkpoint` would call `last_user_message()` twice - once
at the start to capture the checkpoint, and again in an async closure
after the checkpoint comparison completed. If a new user message without
a checkpoint was added between these two calls, the second call would
find the new message and fail with "no checkpoint".
## Fix
Capture the user message ID at the start and use `user_message_mut(&id)`
in the async closure to find the specific message.

This PR fixes two issues with regards to markdown codeblocks rendered in
tool call input and output content display:
- the JSON code snippets weren't properly indented
- codeblocks weren't being rendered in unique containers; e.g., if you
hovered one scrollbar, all of them would also be hovered, even though
horizontal scrolling itself worked properly
Here's the end result:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3d6daf64-0f88-4a16-a5a0-94998c1ba7e2
Release Notes:
- agent: Fix scrollbar and JSON indentation for tool call input/output
content's markdown codeblocks.
This PR solves my main pain point with Zed agent: I have a long list of
available models from different providers, and I switch between a few of
them depending on the context and the project. In particular, I use the
same models from different providers depending on whether I'm working on
a personal project or at my day job. Since I only care about a few
models (none of which are in "recommended") that are scattered all over
the list, switching between them is bothersome, even using search.
This change adds a new option in `settings.json`
(`agent.favorite_models`) and the UI to manipulate it directly from the
list of available models. When any models are marked as favorites, they
appear in a dedicated section at the very top of the list. Each model
has a small icon button that appears on hover and allows to toggle
whether it's marked as favorite.
I implemented this on the UI level (i.e. there's no first-party
knowledge about favorite models in the agent itself; in theory it could
return favorite models as a group but it would make it harder to
implement bespoke UI for the favorite models section and it also
wouldn't work for text threads which don't use the ACP infrastructure).
The feature is only enabled for the native agent but disabled for
external agents because we can't easily map their model IDs to settings
and there could be weird collisions between them.

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/31507
Release Notes:
- Added the ability to mark language models as favorites and pin them to
the top of the list. This feature is available in the native Zed agent
(including text threads and the inline assistant), but not in external
agents via ACP.

Fixes#43165
## Problem
MCP prompts were only available in text threads, not agent threads.
Users with MCP servers that expose prompts couldn't use them in the main
agent panel.
## Solution
Added MCP prompt support to agent threads by:
- Creating `ContextServerPromptRegistry` to track MCP prompts from
context servers
- Subscribing to context server events to reload prompts when MCP
servers start/stop
- Converting MCP prompts to available commands that appear in the slash
command menu
- Integrating prompt expansion into the agent message flow
## Testing
Tested with a custom MCP server exposing `explain-code` and
`write-tests` prompts. Prompts now appear in the `/` slash command menu
in agent threads.
Release Notes:
- Added MCP prompt support to agent threads. Prompts from MCP servers
now appear in the slash command menu when typing `/` in agent threads.

## Summary
This fixes a minor bug I found #44981
- Fix percent-encoded filenames appearing in agent mentions after
message submission.
- Decode file:// paths in MentionUri::parse using the existing
urlencoding crate (already used elsewhere in the codebase).
- Add tests for non-ASCII file URIs.

- Set PAGER='' and GIT_PAGER=cat for agent/terminal commands so pager
configs (e.g. delta) don't hang tool output\n\nFixes #42943
Release Notes:
- Prevent git pager configs from hanging agent/terminal git commands by
forcing PAGER and GIT_PAGER off.
Imitating the approach of #41829. Prevents e.g. reverting a hunk and
having that excerpt yanked out from under the cursor.
Release Notes:
- git: Improved stability of excerpts when editing in the project diff.
We were defining these in multiple places and also weren't leveraging
the ids the agents were already providing.
This should make sure we use them consistently and avoid issues in the
future.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Uses the latest version of the SDK + schema crate. A bit painful because
we needed to move to `#[non_exhaustive]` on all of these structs/enums,
but will be much easier going forward.
Also, since we depend on unstable features, I am pinning the version so
we don't accidentally introduce compilation errors from other update
cycles.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Gist is we only need to block the foreground thread for reparsing if

This PR adds back the footer with the "Configure" button in the model
selector but only when the seeing it from the Zed agent (or inline
assistant/text threads). I had removed it a while back because seeing
the "Configure" button, which takes you to the agent panel settings
view, when clicking from an external agent didn't make much sense, given
there's nothing model-wise you can configure from Zed (at least yet) for
an external agent.
This also makes the button in the footer a bit nicer by making it full
screen and displaying a keybinding, so that you can easily do the whole
"trigger model selector → go to settings view" all with the keyboard.

Closes#35142
In addition to cleaning up the terminals, also stops the conversation.
Release Notes:
- Restoring a checkpoint now stops the agent conversation.
After #38882 we were always including file/directory mentions as
`zed:///agent/file?path=a/b/c.rs`.
However, for most resource links (files/directories/symbols/selections)
we want to use a common format, so that ACP servers don't have to
implement custom handling for parsing `ResourceLink`s coming from Zed.
This is what it looks like now:
```
[@index.js](file:///Users/.../projects/reqwest/examples/wasm_github_fetch/index.js)
[@wasm](file:///Users/.../projects/reqwest/src/wasm)
[@Error](file:///Users/.../projects/reqwest/src/async_impl/client.rs?symbol=Error#L2661:2661)
