agent: Flush thread content to database on app quit (#58962)
After prompting an agent, no response was received and only a spinner
was shown. After updating and reopening Zed, the thread still appeared
in the sidebar but failed to restore with `Failed to Launch` / `no
thread found with ID: SessionId(...)`, and the original prompt was lost.

## Root cause

A native agent thread is tracked by two independent persistence layers:

- **Sidebar metadata** (`ThreadMetadataStore`) and the **serialized
agent panel** record the thread's `session_id` through fast, separate
write paths.
- **Thread content** (`ThreadsDatabase`) is written by a per-session
async task (`NativeAgent::save_thread`) that can still be in flight when
the process exits.

When a graceful quit or update restart raced that async content save,
the metadata/serialized session id was persisted but the content row was
not. On restore, the metadata gate passes, then `load_thread` finds no
content row and hard-fails with `no thread found with ID`.

## Fix

Register an `on_app_quit` handler on `NativeAgent` that synchronously
commits every newly created non-empty thread's content to
`ThreadsDatabase` during shutdown, keeping the two stores consistent
across a graceful quit/restart (the auto-updater's path).

Closes AI-374

Release Notes:

- Fixed agent threads failing to restore after quitting or updating Zed
while a response was still in progress

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
