## Summary
- add a new crash issue-linking subagent prompt
(`.factory/prompts/crash/link-issues.md`)
- add a scheduled/manual GitHub workflow for week-one background-agent
runs (`.github/workflows/background_agent_mvp.yml`)
- add Sentry candidate selection script to rank top crashes by
solvability × population (`script/select-sentry-crash-candidates`)
- add a local dry-run runner for end-to-end MVP execution without
push/PR actions (`script/run-background-agent-mvp-local`)
## Guardrails in this MVP
- draft PRs only (no auto-merge)
- reviewer routing defaults to: `eholk,morgankrey,osiewicz,bennetbo`
- pipeline order is: investigate -> link-issues -> fix
## Validation
- `python3 -m py_compile script/select-sentry-crash-candidates
script/run-background-agent-mvp-local`
- `python3 script/select-sentry-crash-candidates --help`
- `python3 script/run-background-agent-mvp-local --help`

Closes#45507
There have been 5+ PRs attempting to fix Linux desktop icon association
by adding `StartupWMClass` back to the `.desktop.in` template (#15763,
#20644, #23459, #33019, #37962), all closed because `StartupWMClass` is
an X11-specific key that GNOME happens to misuse on Wayland, and the
correct fix per the FreeDesktop spec is to name the `.desktop` file to
match the app's Wayland `app_id` / X11 `WM_CLASS`. Refer:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/12707#issuecomment-2168742761
The root cause is that `bundle-linux` was never updated to produce the
correct filename in the tarball. The only consumers of the tarball's
desktop file are `install.sh` and manual extractors. So this fix is for
people who download the tarball and extract it without `install.sh`. The
docs already tell them to rename, but as @wcbing points out, not
everyone reads that carefully.
We are now making `bundle-linux` produce the correctly named desktop
file from the start.

These prompts can be used to automatically diagnose and fix crashes
report in Sentry.
Usage:
1. Find a crash in Sentry. It will have an ID like ZED-123
2. In an agent, do a prompt like `Follow the instructions in
@investigate.md to investigate ZED-123`
3. Once the agent finds a repro, fix it in a new thread by saying
`Follow the instructions in @fix.md`

Finn found out the hard way that the new cool tech does not quite work
at times. Back to the drawing board we go (at least partially).
Closes #ISSUE
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR updates the Linux install script to support installing a
specific version of Zed via the
ZED_VERSION environment variable.
- If ZED_VERSION is set, that version will be downloaded.
- If ZED_VERSION is not set, the script defaults to the latest stable
version, preserving
existing behavior.
- Works for both Linux and macOS installs.
- Maintains compatibility with ZED_CHANNEL for preview builds.
This enhancement allows users to:
- Pin a specific Zed version for reproducible setups or CI workflows.
- Easily install older or known-good versions without manually
downloading release assets.
Usage examples:
- Install latest stable (default):
curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | sh
- Install specific version:
curl -f https://zed.dev/install.sh | ZED_VERSION=0.216.0 sh
Use this — it’s correct, concise, and clearly user-facing:
Release Notes
* **Added:** Support for installing a specific Zed version via the
`ZED_VERSION` environment variable in the install script (defaults to
`latest` when unset).
Fixes CI failures when the target dir is 0GB in size, which causes
`expr` to output a non-zero exit code per the posix spec.
See exit status section of
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/expr.1p.html

This fixes the auto-update failure by ensuring cargo-bundle picks 'zed'
as the first binary.
**Problem:** `cargo metadata` returns binaries alphabetically, so
`visual_test_runner` was coming before `zed`. When cargo-bundle looks
for the first binary to bundle (without `--bin`), it was picking
`visual_test_runner` - which doesn't exist in release builds because it
requires the `visual-tests` feature.
The previous fix (#46163) added `--bin zed` to explicitly select the
binary, but this caused cargo-bundle to use the binary name ('zed')
instead of the bundle metadata name ('Zed Nightly'), breaking
auto-updates.
**Fix:** Rename the binary to `zed_visual_test_runner` so it comes after
`zed` alphabetically. This restores the original bundle script behavior
that has worked for years.
Also reverts the `--bin zed` workaround from #46163.
Release Notes:
- N/A
The visual_test_runner binary (added in #45259) has `required-features =
["visual-tests"]`, so it doesn't get built in release builds. However,
`cargo bundle` was trying to bundle all binaries defined in the zed
crate's Cargo.toml, causing it to fail when visual_test_runner doesn't
exist.
Adding `--bin zed` tells cargo bundle to only bundle the main zed
binary.
**Note:** The `cli` binary is unaffected by this change - it's a
separate package (`crates/cli`) that's built separately via `cargo build
--package cli` and manually copied into the app bundle afterward (line
337). It was never part of `cargo bundle`'s scope.
Fixes the nightly build failure:

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
action names

`DocumentTypes.plist` declares `CFBundleTypeIconFile` as `Document` for
Zed’s document types, but the macOS bundle did not include
`Contents/Resources/Document.icns`, causing Finder to fall back to
generic icons.
This PR:
- Adds `crates/zed/resources/Document.icns` as a placeholder document
icon (currently derived from the app icon).
- Updates `script/bundle-mac` to copy it into the `.app` at
`Contents/Resources/Document.icns` during bundling.
- Adds `script/verify-macos-document-icon` for one-command validation.
## How to test (CLI)
1. Build a debug bundle:
- `./script/bundle-mac -d aarch64-apple-darwin`
2. Verify the bundle contains the referenced icon:
- `./script/verify-macos-document-icon
"target/aarch64-apple-darwin/debug/bundle/osx/Zed Dev.app"`
## Optional visual validation in Finder
- Pick a file (e.g. `.rs`), Get Info → Open with: Zed Dev → Change
All...
- Restart Finder: `killall Finder` (or log out/in)
@JosephTLyons — would you mind running the steps above and confirming
Finder shows Zed’s icon for source files after "Change All" + Finder
restart?
@danilo-leal — this PR ships a placeholder `Document.icns`. When the
real document icon is ready, replace
`crates/zed/resources/Document.icns` and the bundling script will
include it automatically.
Closes#44403.

Changes are made to `parse_path_with_position`:
we try to get the canonical, existing parts of
a path, then append the non-existing parts.
Closes#4441
Release Notes:
- Added the possibility to open a non-existing path using `zed` CLI
```
zed path/to/non/existing/file.txt

Closes#40210
Previously attempted in #40423 and #42756. Third time's the charm?
Release Notes:
- Fixed encoding error in terms & conditions displayed when installing
Use
[`command`](https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-command)
instead of `which` to check if `wild` is installed.
Using `which` will result in an error being printed to stdout:
```bash
./script/install-wild
which: invalid option -- 's'
/usr/local/bin/wild
Warning: existing wild 0.6.0 found at /usr/local/bin/wild. Skipping installation.
