Follow up to https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/47200, fixing an
edge case where if the heartbeat failure disconnects us we get stuck in
an unconnectable state

Adds the ability to create a dev container definition from scratch.
Additionally, separates devcontainer logic out into its own crate, since
it was getting sufficiently complex to separate from the
`recent_projects` crate.
A screen recording of the modal experience:

Release Notes:
- Added modal to initialize a dev container definition in the project
with `projects: initialize dev container`
- Added podman support for dev container actions with the `use_podman`
setting
- Improved devcontainer error handling

Closes #ISSUE
Moves the settings content definitions into their own crate, so that
they are compiled+cached separately from settings, primarily to avoid
recompiles due to changes in gpui. In that vain many gpui types such as
font weight/features, and `SharedString` were replaced in the content
crate, either with `*Content` types for font/modifier things, or
`String`/`Arc<str>` for `SharedString`. To make the conversions easy a
new trait method in the settings crate named `IntoGpui::into_gpui`
allows for `into()` like conversions to the gpui types in
`from_settings` impls.

Release Notes:
- Opening bundled files, keymap, and local release notes now opens in
remote windows instead of opening a new local zed window
- Opening the settings files, keymap files, task files, debug files and
logs will now open within wsl windows instead of opening a new local zed
window
This pollutes tasks and similar with a `connection closed` message
otherwise.
Release Notes:
- Fixed terminal tool for agents ending with `connection closed` on
remote hosts polluting context
Benchmarks that depend on remote server would not rebuild the remote
server binary outside of dev builds. Let dependants of remote opt into
building the binary even in release builds.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Obviously this doesn't do too much without having an actual windows
server binary for the remote side, but it does at least improve the
error message as right now we will complain about `uname` not being a
valid powershell command.

Partially addresses #11473
MVP of dev containers with the following capabilities:
- If in a project with `.devcontainer/devcontainer.json`, a pop-up
notification will ask if you want to open the project in a dev
container. This can be dismissed:
<img width="1478" height="1191" alt="Screenshot 2025-12-08 at 3 15

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/ec2e20d6-28ec-4495-8f23-4c1d48a9ce78"
/>
- Similarly, if a `devcontainer.json` file is in the project, you can
open a devcontainer (or go the devcontainer.json file for further
editing) via the `open remote` modal:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/61f2fdaa-2808-4efc-994c-7b444a92c0b1
*Limitations*
This is a first release, and comes with some limitations:
- Zed extensions are not managed in `devcontainer.json` yet. They will
need to be installed either on host or in the container. Host +
Container sync their extensions, so there is not currently a concept of
what is installed in the container vs what is installed on host: they
come from the same list of manifests
- This implementation uses the [devcontainer
CLI](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) for its control plane. Hence,
it does not yet support the `forwardPorts` directive. A single port can
be opened with `appPort`. See reference in docs
[here](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli/tree/main/example-usage#how-the-tool-examples-work)
- Editing devcontainer.json does not automatically cause the dev
container to be rebuilt. So if you add features, change images, etc, you
will need to `docker kill` the existing dev container before proceeding.
- Currently takes a hard dependency on `docker` being available in the
user's `PATH`.
Release Notes:
- Added ability to Open a project in a DevContainer, provided a
`.devcontainer/devcontainer.json` is present

`npx`, and any `npm install`-ed programs, exist as batch
scripts/PowerShell scripts on the PATH. We have to use a shell to launch
these programs.

Release Notes:
- windows: Custom MCP and ACP servers installed through `npm` now launch
correctly.

Sometimes machines are configured to drop outbound packets (rather than
reject connections). In these cases, curl/wget just hang causing our
download step to never complete. This PR adds a timeout of 10s for the
connection (not the whole download), so that in situations like this we
can fallback to our client-side download eventually.
Related to but doesn't fully fix:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/43694 and
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/43718
Release Notes:
- remote: Add 10s connect timeout for server download
We have seen cases (see
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/43694) where the user's
shell initialization script includes text that ends up in the output of
the commands we use to detect the platform and shell of the remote. This
solution isn't perfect, but it should address the issue in most
situations since both commands should only output one line.
Release Notes:
- remote: Improve resiliency when initialization scripts output text
Closes#41521
Release Notes:
- Fixed codex web login not working on wsl remotes if no browser is
installed

Instead of trying to guess whether we can `--exec`, this now
restructures things to only attempt to use that flag where its
necessary. We only need to `--exec` when we are interested in the shell
output after all.
Release Notes:
- Fixed wsl remoting not working with some nixOS setups
Closes#40906Closes#39729
SFTP uploads weren't quoting the install directory which was causing
extension syncing to fail. We were also only running `install_extension`
once per remote-connection instead of once per project (thx @feeiyu for
pointing this out) so extension weren't being loaded in subsequently
opened remote projects.
Release Notes:
- N/A

We've had several outages with a proximate cause of "vercel is
complicated",
and auto-update is considered a critical feature; so lets not use vercel
for
that.
Release Notes:
- Auto Updates (and remote server binaries) are now downloaded via
https://cloud.zed.dev instead of https://zed.dev. As before, these URLs
redirect to the GitHub release for actual downloads.
