https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`

This is very basic support for them. There are a number of other TODOs
before this is really a first-class supported feature, so not adding any
release notes for it; for now, this PR just makes it so that if
read_file tries to read a PNG (which has come up in practice), it at
least correctly sends it to Anthropic instead of messing up.
This also lays the groundwork for future PRs for more first-class
support for images in tool calls across more image file formats and LLM
providers.

Nathan here: I also tacked on a bunch of UI refinement.
Release Notes:

edits files.

One motivation is that the outlines returned by `read_file` for large
files list line numbers assuming an inclusive `end_line`. As a result,
when the agent uses these outlines for `read_line` calls, it would
otherwise miss the last line.

This PR implements the `ToolCard` for the edit file tool, which allow us
to display an editor with a diff in the thread view with the changes
performed by the model.
- [x] Fix buffer sometimes displaying empty
- [x] Stop buffer from scrolling together with the thread
- [x] Fix multibuffer header sometimes appearing
- [x] Fix buffer height issue
- [x] Implement "full height" expand button
- [x] Add "Jump To File" functionality
- [x] Polish and refine styles
Release Notes:
- agent: Added diff preview cards in the thread view for edits performed
by the agent.

Now that we've established a proper eval in tree, this PR is reboots of
our agent loop back to a set of minimal tools and simpler prompts. We
should aim to get this branch feeling subjectively competitive with
what's on main and then merge it, and build from there.
Let's invest in our eval and use it to drive better performance of the
agent loop. How you can help: Pick an example, and then make the outcome
faster or better. It's fine to even use your own subjective judgment, as
our evaluation criteria likely need tuning as well at this point. Focus
on making the agent work better in your own subjective experience first.
Let's focus on simple/practical improvements to make this thing work
better, then determine how we can craft our judgment criteria to lock
those improvements in.

This is just a refactor which adds no functionality.
We now return a `ToolResult` from `Tool > run(...)`. For now this just
wraps the output task in a struct. We'll use this to implement custom
rendering of tools, see #28621.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This also increases the threshold for when we return an outline during
`read_file`.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue that caused the agent to fail reading large files if
the LSP hadn't started yet.

Release Notes:
- The `read_files` tool now reads only the symbol outline files above a
certain size, to conserve context window space. Then it suggests that
the agent call `read_files` again with the relevant line ranges it saw
in the outline.
If the tool asks to read a path, we don't need to verify whether that
path exists on disk; an unsaved buffer with that path is fine.

This is the core change:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/26758/files#diff-044302c0d57147af17e68a0009fee3e8dcdfb4f32c27a915e70cfa80e987f765R1052
TODO:
- [x] Use AsyncFn instead of Fn() -> Future in GPUI spawn methods
- [x] Implement it in the whole app
- [x] Implement it in the debugger
- [x] Glance at the RPC crate, and see if those box future methods can
be switched over. Answer: It can't directly, as you can't make an
AsyncFn* into a trait object. There's ways around that, but they're all
more complex than just keeping the code as is.
- [ ] Fix platform specific code
Release Notes:
- N/A
When the model reads file, we'll track the version it read, and let it
know if the user makes edits to the buffer. This helps prevent edit
failures because it'll know to re-read the file before.
Release Notes:
- N/A
When the user attached context in the thread, the editor model request
would fail because its tool use wouldn't be removed properly leading to
an API error.
Also, after an edit, we'd keep the old file snapshot in the context.
This would make the model think that the edits didn't apply and make it
go in a loop.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Exposes a new "edit files" tool that the model can use to apply
modifications to files in the project. The main model provides
instructions and the tool uses a separate "editor" model (Claude 3.5 by
default) to generate search/replace blocks like Aider does:
````markdown
mathweb/flask/app.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH
from flask import Flask
=======
import math
from flask import Flask
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```
````
The search/replace blocks are parsed and applied as they stream in. If a
block fails to parse, the tool will apply the other edits and report an
error pointing to the part of the input where it occurred. This should
allow the model to fix it.

This PR decouples the `Tool` trait from the `Workspace` (and from the
UI, in general).
`Tool::run` now takes a `WeakEntity<Project>` instead of a
`WeakEntity<Workspace>` and a `Window`.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds two new tools to Assistant 2:
- `list-worktrees` - Lists the worktrees in a project
- `read-file` - Reads a file at the given path in the project
I don't see `list-worktrees` sticking around long-term, as when we have
tools for listing files those will include the worktree IDs along with
the path, but making this tool available allows the model to utilize
`read-file` when it otherwise wouldn't be able to.
Release Notes:
- N/A
