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- Better organized the keybinding files removing some outdated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.
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.

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#39172
This refactors when we resolve UI keybindings in an effort to reduce
flickering whilst painting these: Previously, we would always resolve
these upon creating the binding. This could lead to cases where the
corresponding context was not yet available and no binding could be
resolved, even if the binding was then available on the next presented
frame. Following that, on the next rerender of whatever requested this
keybinding, the keybind for that context would then be found, we would
render that and then also win a layout shift in that process, as we went
from nothing rendered to something rendered between these frames.
With these changes, this now happens less often, because we only look
for the keybinding once the context can actually be resolved in the
window.

Also reduced cloning in the keymap editor in this process, since that
requiered changing due to this anyway.
Release Notes:
- Fixed some cases where keybinds would appear with a slight delay,
causing a flicker in the process
Making all triggers have the same style when the picker is open
(including changing the icon when the picker opens on top of the
trigger). Also removed the footer from the ACP model selector given
there's nothing to consider when that's the case; users can only
configure LLM providers when using Zed's built-in agent.

Release Notes:
- settings: Major internal changes to settings. The primary user-facing
effect is that some settings which did not make sense in project
settings files are no-longer read from there. (For example the inline
blame settings)

This removes the `gemini-and-native` and `claude-code` feature flags.
Also, I removed a bunch of unused agent1 code that we do not need
anymore.
Initially I wanted to remove much more of the `agent` code, but noticed
some things that we need to figure out first:
- The inline assistant + context strip use `Thread`/`ContextStore`
directly
- We need some replacement for `ToolWorkingSet`, so we can access
available tools (as well as context server tools) in other places, e.g.
the agent configuration and the configure profile modal
Release Notes:
- N/A
This removes around 900 unnecessary clones, ranging from cloning a few
ints all the way to large data structures and images.
A lot of these were fixed using `cargo clippy --fix --workspace
--all-targets`, however it often breaks other lints and needs to be run
again. This was then followed up with some manual fixing.
I understand this is a large diff, but all the changes are pretty
trivial. Rust is doing some heavy lifting here for us. Once I get it up
to speed with main, I'd appreciate this getting merged rather sooner
than later.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This includes making sure that both the agent panel and Zed's edit
prediction have a consistent narrative when it comes to onboarding users
into the AI features, considering the possible different plans and
conditions (such as being signed in/out, account age, etc.)

This breaks a transitive dependency of `agent` on UI crates. I've also
found and eliminated some dead code in assistant_context_editor.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR moves the UI-dependent logic in the `agent` crate into its own
crate, `agent_ui`. The remaining `agent` crate no longer depends on
`editor`, `picker`, `ui`, `workspace`, etc.
This has compile time benefits, but the main motivation is to isolate
our core agentic logic, so that we can make agents more
pluggable/configurable.

- N/A
