GitHub 4 me 0 - after testing for x times in a local and even the remote
setup provided by Namespace during an action, this now adds a dedicated
step to debug the failure we are seeing in extension tests to finally
resolve said issue.

Disable the cron schedule for the background agent MVP workflow. Manual
runs via workflow_dispatch are still available.
The workflow was running daily on weekdays but the project is being
paused. This change:
- Comments out the schedule trigger
- Adds a note pointing to the Notion doc for context
- Preserves the ability to run manually
See [Background Agent for
Zed](https://www.notion.so/Background-Agent-for-Zed-3038aa087eb980449b9ee02f70ae8413)

Lost another battle to the GitHub docs. Instead, now let's just do it
ourselves here in bash and not guess whatever GitHub is referring to in
their documentation..

## Summary
Fork PRs don't have access to repository secrets (`FACTORY_API_KEY`),
causing the docs suggestions workflow to fail when triggered by external
contributor PRs.
This adds a condition to skip the `batch-suggestions` job when the PR
originates from a fork (`github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name
!= github.repository`).
## Context
See failing job:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/actions/runs/22323201362/job/64586740764
The `pull_request` trigger doesn't pass secrets to workflows running on
fork PRs for security reasons. This is expected GitHub behavior.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Gives the compilation in a repository with a few more grammars some more
time to run. Also adds the Rust cache which might be utilized here
during Rust compilation.
Release Notes:

More precisely, the name of the GitHub project board in question is
“Closed bugs with new comments”, and since GitHub seems to do the
closing and the commenting separately (and, crucially for this
automation, in that order) when the closer uses the “Close with comment”
functionality, we want to skip the comments added within 30 seconds
after the closing.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Add a script that classifies open and closed issues that the duplicate
bot commented (or not commented) on and puts them into the appropriate
columns of the dedicated github project board. Add a workflow that calls
that script for every closed issue and also on a schedule (that's for
the open ones).
If you're reading this some time way later and there's no bot running
around the repository leaving comments like “This issue appears to be a
duplicate of...”, you can delete these files.

The failure in #49661 was caused by a broken pipe, which then led to
tests not being ran.

## Summary
Fixes the `SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'gemini'` error in the
cherry-pick documentation suggestions workflow.
## Problem
The 'Post suggestions as PR comment' step was directly interpolating
markdown content into a JavaScript template literal:
```javascript
const suggestions = `${{ steps.analyze.outputs.suggestions }}`;
```
When the suggestions contained backticks, `${}` sequences, or other
special characters (like the `gemini-3.1-pro-preview` model name in
markdown code blocks), it broke the JavaScript syntax.
## Solution
Write suggestions to a file in `$RUNNER_TEMP` and read it using
`fs.readFileSync()` in the script step. This avoids all GitHub Actions
template interpolation and JavaScript string parsing issues.
## Testing
This should fix the failed run:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/actions/runs/22194396124/job/64190762087
Release Notes:
- N/A
Add exponential backoff retry logic (3 attempts with 5s/10s/15s delays)
to the Droid CLI installation and
docs-suggest script execution steps in both the batch-suggestions and
cherry-pick-suggestions jobs.
This handles intermittent Factory API authentication issues that can
cause workflow failures when the API is temporarily unavailable or
rate-limited.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Fixes the workflow failure where `gh auth login --with-token` fails
because `GH_TOKEN` is already set in the environment.
The error was:
```
The value of the GH_TOKEN environment variable is being used for authentication.
To have GitHub CLI store credentials instead, first clear the value from the environment.
```
The fix uses a subshell to unset `GH_TOKEN` before calling `gh auth
login`:
```bash
echo "$GH_TOKEN" | (unset GH_TOKEN && gh auth login --with-token)
```
Release Notes:
- N/A
Fix git auth conflict in background_agent_mvp workflow
The workflow was manually configuring git authentication with:
```bash
git config --local http.https://github.com/.extraheader "AUTHORIZATION: bearer ..."
```
This conflicted with the authentication already set up by
`actions/checkout@v4`, which uses `AUTHORIZATION: basic ...`.
The conflict caused all crash pipeline runs to fail with:
```
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com'
```
This morning's run (22147984206) failed for all 15 crash candidates
(ZED-4VS, ZED-202, etc.) with this error.
Remove the redundant git config since actions/checkout already handles
authentication properly.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Fixes two issues in the documentation suggestions workflow:
1. **Shell quoting bug**: PR titles containing quotes (e.g., `agent_ui:
Add the ability to undo "reject all"`) were breaking the shell script
because the title was substituted directly into the script. Moved
`PR_TITLE`, `PR_NUM`, and `OUTPUT_FILE` to environment variables where
special characters are handled safely.
2. **GH CLI auth issue**: The `gh` CLI sometimes fails to auto-detect
`GH_TOKEN` in the environment, causing `gh pr view` and `gh pr diff` to
fail with "Bad credentials". Added explicit `gh auth login --with-token`
in both the batch-suggestions and cherry-pick-suggestions jobs.
Release Notes:
- N/A
## Summary
- Update hosted model and context-window tables in docs/src/ai/models.md
to remove retired models and list current replacements.
- Add a dated Recent Model Retirements section mapping each retired
model to its replacement.
- Update AI docs examples and references in agent-settings.md,
inline-assistant.md, agent-panel.md, and llm-providers.md to use current
model names.
- Remove stale OpenAI model references in llm-providers.md that no
longer align with currently offered hosted models.

Release Notes:
- N/A
Adds scripts and a GitHub Action workflow for automatically suggesting
documentation updates when PRs modify user-facing code.
## Scripts
- **`script/docs-suggest`**: Analyze PRs/commits for documentation needs
using AI
- **`script/docs-suggest-publish`**: Create a PR from batched
suggestions
- **`script/docs-strip-preview-callouts`**: Remove Preview callouts when
shipping to stable
- **`script/test-docs-suggest-batch`**: Testing utility for batch
analysis
## Workflow
The GitHub Action (`.github/workflows/docs_suggestions.yml`) handles two
scenarios:
1. **PRs merged to main**: Suggestions are batched to
`docs/suggestions-pending` branch for the next Preview release
2. **Cherry-picks to release branches**: Suggestions are posted as PR
comments for immediate review
## Callout Types
The system distinguishes between:
- **Additive features** (new commands, settings, UI):
```markdown
> **Preview:** This feature is available in Zed Preview. It will be
included in the next Stable release.
```
- **Behavior modifications** (changed defaults, altered existing
behavior):
```markdown
> **Changed in Preview (v0.XXX).** See [release notes](/releases#0.XXX).
```
Both callout types are stripped by `docs-strip-preview-callouts` when
features ship to stable.
## Example Output
See PR #49190 for example documentation suggestions generated by running
this on PRs from the v0.224 preview window.
## Usage
```bash
# Analyze a PR (auto-detects batch vs immediate mode)
script/docs-suggest --pr 49100
# Dry run to see assembled context
script/docs-suggest --pr 49100 --dry-run
# Create PR from batched suggestions
script/docs-suggest-publish
# Strip callouts for stable release
script/docs-strip-preview-callouts
```
Release Notes:
- N/A
This removes trailing whitespace when getting the current version of the
extension, as we ran into some cases where a `\r` was added to that for
some reason.
Release Notes:
- N/A
We need more fetch depth here for the check, hence bumping this.
Also does a drive-by cleanup of the checkout step within xtask to make
this (hopefully) more intuitive to use.
Release Notes:
- N/A
## Summary
- refresh git auth headers before each per-crash iteration in
`background_agent_mvp`
- add guarded `git fetch`/`git checkout` handling so one candidate auth
failure doesn’t fail the entire run
## Context
- fixes the auth failure seen in workflow run 22106378719 (`fatal: could
not read Username for 'https://github.com'`)
- related Linear issue: BIZOPS-853
## Testing
- ruby -e "require 'yaml';
YAML.load_file('.github/workflows/background_agent_mvp.yml')"
Release Notes:
- N/A
## 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`

This PR removes the two remaining steps in the Collab deployment
workflow to Namespace runners.
The previous `runs-on` labels were no longer functional.
Release Notes:

While the 60 days of inactivity works for a lot of the issues, with
other (more stubborn and popular) bugs it's too noisy to nag people
every eight weeks.
Also changing days-before-close after seeing a few cases of people
getting back to us after more than two weeks since the bot's question.
Release Notes:

Although this introduces a small possiblity that we will regress the nix
build,
the existing check is very slow and fails very rarely.

Reverts zed-industries/zed#48607
The problem we've ran into is that CI started reusing already-cached
runs from newer branches (that did not have that change pulled in).
Yet this unveiled another potential issue, which is that relying on
mtime might make it so that an artifact for a different (newer) commit
would be reused by an unrelated run of CI.
The answer is: checksum-based-freshness.
Release Notes:

This fixes another issue for the ruby extension where a cargo index
update can sometimes take quite some time. However, this will not change
anything for all other extensions, as they continue to bump within the
defined timeout.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR updates the names for the PRs to roll out to the extensions, as
having the `zed@` prefix does not look too pretty.
It also increases the concurrency of matrix jobs run to 10, as the
rollout has matured by now and is safe to perform for more repositories
at once.
Release Notes:
- N/A
