#59043 updated the project diff and git panel to improve the sorting
options and make the order of files always match across the two.
However, the approach relied on sorting the list of buffers first and
then using an incrementing `PathKey.sort_prefix` to insert them into the
multibuffer. This is a problem because path keys are intended to be
stable, and any addition of removal of a buffer from the multibuffer
would cause the path keys for all subsequent buffers to change, so
`update_path_excerpts` would do unnecessary work.
This PR fixes that by computing stable path keys for the buffers based
on the ordering settings:
- `PathKey.sort_prefix` is based on the git status if that setting is
enabled, or a constant otherwise (the same way it worked before #59043)
- when the tree view is disabled, `PathKey.path` is either the raw
`RepoPath` (if sorting by path) or `{name}/{repo_path}` (if sorting by
name). When the tree view is enabled, we get the path by inserting `\0`
just before every directory component of the `RepoPath`, so that all
directories sort before all files.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Update the focus handle returned by the `GitPanel::focus_handle` method
in order to ensure that, if the commit editor is currently expanded,
using the `git_panel::ToggleFocus` action will correctly focus back on
the expanded editor, rather than on the panel.
# Objective
When using the expanded commit editor, if one focuses away from the
panel and then uses the `git panel: toggle focus` action in order to
focus back on the panel, the focus will land on the panel, which is now
being rendered behind the commit editor.
## Solution
Update the focus handle returned by the `GitPanel` to take into
consideration whether the commit editor is expanded and, in that case,
return the editor's focus handle instead.
## Testing
Tested both manually as well as through a newly introduced test –
`git_ui::git_panel::tests::test_focus_handle`.

Release Notes:
- Fixed `git panel: toggle focus` to focus back on the commit editor in
case it is expanded.
# Objective
This change prevents users from starting multiple Git remote operations
at the same time from the Git panel. Fetch, pull, and push can take
time, may prompt for credentials, and can update shared repository
state, so allowing repeated clicks can create duplicated work, confusing
UI feedback, or overlapping Git commands.
## Solution
The panel now records when a remote operation is in progress, disables
the main remote action button, and shows a clear tooltip such as “Push
in progress.” When the async task exits, the state is cleared and the
button is re-enabled. This keeps the UI aligned with the operation
lifecycle and makes repeated clicks harmless.
---
Release Notes:
- Git: Improved performance by not allowing multiple remote Git
operation to start at the same time.

# Objective
- Polish the solo diff review UI by reducing redundant controls and
hiding inactive fold controls in split diff views.
## Solution
- Collapse the solo diff header's `Stage File` / `Unstage File` actions
into one button that shows the action relevant to the file's current
staging state.
- Stop reserving fold gutter space and rendering fold crease toggles for
editors with companion snapshots, matching the existing LHS split diff
behavior.
## Testing
- `cargo fmt --check`
- `cargo check -p git_ui`

## Showcase
Before, the solo diff header showed both file-level staging actions at
once, and the RHS split diff gutter could show fold arrows that did not
work in that view. After this change, the header shows the relevant
file-level staging action and split companion panes no longer show
inactive fold controls.
Release Notes:
- Improved solo diff controls by showing the relevant file staging
action and hiding inactive fold toggles in split diffs.
# Objective
- Keep the Git panel view options menu open when changing view, sort, or
group options.
- Make the open menu reflect the selected option immediately, including
showing the Sort By section as soon as List view is selected.
## Solution
- Use a persistent context menu for the Git panel view options menu so
selecting an item rebuilds the menu instead of dismissing it.
- Track the open menu's view options state locally with
`GitPanelViewOptionsMenuState` so checkmarks and conditional sections
update before the settings file change is observed.
- Continue dispatching the existing Git panel actions so persisted
settings and panel updates keep using the current code path.

Release Notes:
- Fixed Git Panel view options menu selections updating only after
reopening the menu.
The recent "pickers with previews" overhaul left the picker
sizing/presentation API spread across several overlapping knobs that
every call site had to set correctly — and many didn't, causing pickers
across the app to render at the wrong width, lose their container, or
stop dismissing. This PR consolidates that surface into a small,
hard-to-misuse API and makes correct sizing the default.
Net effect: a plain `Picker::uniform_list(delegate, …)` now renders
correctly out of the box (standard width, standard max-height, shrinks
to fit, dismisses properly), and the ~35 call sites only specify what
genuinely differs.
## API changes
**Presentation** — three overlapping booleans (`is_modal`, `is_popover`,
`is_resizable`) collapsed into one enum, with resizability living inside
the only variant where it's meaningful:
```rust
enum Presentation {
Modal { resizable: bool }, // own chrome, dismisses on blur, optionally resizable
Popover, // own chrome, dismisses on blur, never resizable
Embedded, // host container owns chrome + dismissal
}
```
- `modal(bool)` is **removed** in favor of explicit, self-documenting
builders:
- *(default)* → `Modal` (resizable iff it has a preview)
- `.popover()` → `Popover` (menu-attached surfaces)
- `.embedded()` → `Embedded` (pickers nested in a larger modal/view)
- Dynamic callers use `.when(cond, Picker::embedded)` (added `impl
FluentBuilder for Picker`).
**Sizing** — preview-vs-not now drives everything; the manual padding
knob is gone:
| Before | After |
|---|---|
| `vertical_padding` field + `no_vertical_padding()` | removed — derived
from whether a preview is visible |
| `height(...)` (ambiguous: fixed vs max) | `max_height(...)` (plain
pickers shrink-to-fit, capped here) |
| `minimum_results_width(...)` | removed — a plain picker's min width
tracks its opening width; preview pickers use standard internal pane
mins |
| default size = 60% viewport | default = `DEFAULT_MODAL_WIDTH` (34rem)
× `DEFAULT_MODAL_MAX_HEIGHT` (24rem, max) |
| resize handles gated on `is_modal` | gated on `is_resizable` (new
`resizable(bool)` builder; auto-`true` for preview pickers) |
Call sites now only override the exceptions: narrow popover selectors
(`initial_width`), the taller outline view (`max_height`), and preview
pickers (constructed via `*_with_preview`).
## Behavior fixes
- **Wrong widths everywhere**: pickers were falling back to
60%-of-viewport because the original migration set
`minimum_results_width` but never `initial_width`. Fixed at the source
via the new defaults.
- **Popovers had no container and wouldn't dismiss**: `is_modal=false`
was suppressing both the elevated background *and* blur-dismiss. Split
out so popovers keep their chrome and dismiss on click-away/escape. This
fixed the agent-panel model/profile selectors, sidebar recent projects,
and the settings theme/font/icon/ollama pickers (which were incorrectly
using `modal(false)`).
- **Sidebar recent projects stretched to full height**: was missing the
shrink-to-fit behavior; now capped and content-sized like other
popovers.
- **Preview crash**: removed an over-strict `debug_assert!` that
panicked when previewing an empty file (`message == None && editor
empty` is valid).
- **Preview-aware default size**: pickers open at standard width with
the preview hidden, and expand to the larger "telescope" size when a
preview is shown. Fixes the text finder rendering super-wide by default,
and makes the file finder expand (rather than cram its results) when you
toggle the preview.

Release Notes:
- N/A
Small things here: ensuring padding and responsiveness on the header is
good, make the global diff stat part of the "view diff" button, and
conditionally render the "sort by" filter section in the menu (no need
to render it if it's all disabled).
Release Notes:
- N/A
# Objective
- Fixes#59643.
## Problems
- Initial and minimum width was not migrated for all pickers.
- Some pickers had their width still determined by their wrapper.
- Some pickers where not modals but did not have modal false set.
## Solution
- Migrate the pickers we missed.
- Remove the width being set on the div's wrapping the pickers.
- Set modal false on the missed pickers.

Fixes the "Generate git commit message" wand button being permanently
disabled on startup. Subscribes the Git Panel to language model registry
events so that it automatically re-renders once the asynchronous model
fetches complete.
Closes#55451.
## Suggested .rules additions
### GPUI Views and Global State Registries
* If a view (like `GitPanel`) reads from a global state registry (like
`LanguageModelRegistry`) during rendering, it must subscribe/observe
that registry's events and call `cx.notify()` to re-render when the
state updates (such as when models finish loading asynchronously).
Release Notes:
- Fixed the git commit message generation button showing as permanently
disabled when models load after startup.

# Objective
The current behavior of the git panel is that when you click a file it
will open the multi-buffer view that shows all files with changes. If
you use CMD+Click or CTRL+Click, it will open the solo-file experience
where you only see the diff of the file you have selected. But, there is
no way to customize this behavior.
Related to:
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/56152#issuecomment-4641971669
## Solution
This MR adds a setting that allows you to customize the default click
behavior. The alternate behavior will always be accessible via CMD+Click
or CTRL+Click.

Closes #ISSUE
Issue:
- Create and/or modify several files.
- Go to GitPanel.
- Stage files you want to commit.
- Select last entry. You may select not last but make sure after list of
entries shrinks, your selection would be "out of visible list" after.
- Commit.
- Entries will be committed and disappear.
- But it seems like `selected_entry` is not updated (or updated
incorrectly) and Zed still have "hidden" selected entry of the last
selected entry. So you need to `Shift-g` (in vim mode) or some other
keybinding to select last entry manually. I used `k` multiple times
before I realized I can use `Shift-g` or `g g` -,-
Release Notes:
- Fixed: stale index (`selected_entry`) of git panel after .
Notes:
- I basically copied logic of function 1 line above but instead of
`first_entry` I used `last_etnry`. So... It should be harmless.
- I didn't find where selection logic is tested. I tried to do something
using `test_amend` as template, but... I'm afraid I won't be able to
understand if I'm using testing framework correctly.
- I couldn't make tests, but I tried to "test" by hand using something
like this:

/>
Flat View seems like working fine, but Tree View has some "bugs" (if we
can call it like that) inherited. For example, if I stage selected file
and commit it, selection jumps to the `asdjfl` instead of the file right
under - `outer_file`. The same behavior in the current release.

# Objective
Improve the Git panel changes header by making the Stage All / Unstage
All control more consistent with other split-button actions in the Git
panel, such as the Fetch/Pull button.
## Solution
- Replaced the standalone Stage All / Unstage All button with a split
button.
- Kept the primary action context-sensitive, switching between Stage All
and Unstage All.
- Moved related Git change actions into the split-button menu: staging,
stashing, discard tracked changes, and trash untracked files.
## Testing
- Ran `cargo fmt --check`.
- Ran `cargo check -p git_ui`.
- Manually verified the Git panel dropdown behavior in the app.

## Summary
This updates the Git Panel view controls so the panel can independently
model:
- whether entries are shown as a list or tree
- whether flat entries are sorted by path or name
- whether entries are grouped by status or shown as one combined set
It also keeps the Project Diff order consistent with the Git Panel,
including tree ordering, status grouping, and flat name/path sorting.
## Why This Is Useful
The previous sort_by_path boolean overloaded two separate ideas: sorting
and grouping. That made it hard to represent the view users actually
wanted, especially a single tree where tracked and untracked files are
not split into separate sections.
This change replaces that boolean with explicit enum settings:
- git_panel.sort_by: path or name
- git_panel.group_by: none or status
That keeps the settings mutually exclusive, easier to extend, and closer
to the UI model.
## Implementation Notes
- Adds a dedicated Git Panel View Options menu using the sliders icon.
- Moves view, sort, and group controls out of the overflow actions menu.
- Disables sort options in tree view because tree order is folder-first
rather than pure path/name sorting.
- Removes the Tracked heading when grouping is disabled.
- Keeps Git Panel tree expansion state when switching view options.
- Recomputes Project Diff sort prefixes from tree_view, sort_by, and
group_by so diff cards follow the same top-to-bottom order as the Git
Panel.
- Preserves Project Diff open/closed file state across view option
changes by carrying fold state by repo path instead of by synthetic sort
key.
- Updates settings UI renderers and docs for the new enum settings.
## Testing
- [x] cargo fmt --package git_ui --package settings_ui
- [x] cargo check -p git_ui
- [x] Verified settings UI enum dropdown rendering for Git Panel
sort/group settings

Overhauls Zed's pickers to make them resizable and give them a preview.
Closes#8279
### Background
The most requested Zed feature has the last year has been a [Telescope
like search box](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8279)
[discussion](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/22581).
To understand why this is so popular we need to understand search can
serve thee goals:
- Navigation: fuzzy search is faster & easier then clicking in a file
tree
- Exploration: example, find a function by a word in its doc comment
- Collecting: example, getting a list of functions to change
The project search which shows results in a multibuffer is the perfect
way to operate on a list of items. Navigation and Exploration need a lot
of context around each result and offer fast navigation between them.
For both of these live searching is also critical.
The `telescope UI` is a picker with a preview to the right or below.
It's offered in various editors and IDE's most famously Neovim (through
the Telescope plugin), IntelliJ (natively), Helix (natively) and of
course VScode (plugins) and it's _many_ forks.
While having a UI like that for text search (our project search) is most
requested the UX pattern is applied widely, from `find_all_references`
to `bookmarks`. It enhances most pickers. Note that we have over 50
different picker modals!
The community has tried to build something like this for Zed:
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/44530
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/45307
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46478
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/43790
These all became huge PR's that we could not merge for various reasons.
This is a really hard feature to integrate in Zed!
This PR got started as https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/46478
and supercedes that.
### Design
- Extend pickers to support an optional preview with minimal changes to
the pickers themselves.
- Make pickers resizable.
- Complement the existing search do not replace it by having both UI's
share the underlying search and allow freely switching between them.
- Allow extending the preview to things other then files.
- Maintain a clean design on all the pickers.
### Heigh level Implementation overview
- Adds an `Option<Preview>` to `Picker`
- Gives `PickerDelegate` a method to communicate a preview to the Picker
- Overhaul the way pickers are drawn to allow for resizing them.
Implemented on the `Shape` and `SizeBouds` structs.
- Adds a high level way to draw the `footer` and `editor` so we do not
need to change much to the pickers.
- Adds a new text finder Picker
- Adds a way to take a running search from project search and hand it to
the text finder Picker and the other way round
- Give the file finder a preview
### Next steps
A more detailed list and how to help out will be added to the tracking
issue for [Pickes with
previews](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/56037)
- Add more previews to more pickers!
- Enable selectioning multiple items in pickers and performing actions
on those
- Open selected items in a multibuffer
- Add a way to restore the last picker
- Make popovers (picker attached to some menu) resizable as well

Closes AI-403
Recently, we introduced the ability to pick, from the plus icon button
in a project's header in the sidebar, which of the currently loaded
worktree you'd like to create a new thread on. This PR extends this
ability by allowing you to _create_ a new worktree from there as well.
Turned out this just felt like a natural move after playing around with
the change internally; we had a good amount of internal asks for this.
What's exposed in the menu is exactly the same options available in the
worktree picker, following the same display rules.

# Objective
Fixes#58736
Pause the debugger on a breakpoint, switch your theme, and the active
debug line keeps its old highlight color until you step again or restart
Zed.
## Solution
The highlight stores a concrete color grabbed from the theme back when
`go_to_active_debug_line` ran. A theme switch goes through
`theme_changed`, which refreshes brackets, semantic tokens, and outline
symbols but never re-applies that highlight, so it stays stale.
Re-running `go_to_active_debug_line` from `theme_changed` re-resolves
the color against the current theme.
## Testing
Added a regression test in `debugger_ui` that stops at a debug line,
swaps the theme's `editor.debugger_active_line.background`, and checks
the highlight follows. It fails on `main` and passes with the fix.
Also tested by hand on Windows: started a debugpy session, paused at a
breakpoint, switched themes from the theme selector, and watched the
active line recolor live without stepping or restarting.

This fixes archive cleanup for agent threads so Zed only removes
worktrees it explicitly created, rather than treating every linked
worktree under the configured managed directory as safe to delete. When
Zed creates a worktree, it now records it in the local database along
with the creation time of the worktree's git metadata directory
(`.git/worktrees/<name>/`). Archive planning requires that record, and
right before deleting anything, Zed re-stats the directory and compares
creation times: if the worktree was removed and recreated outside Zed
(or the time can't be read at all), deletion is skipped and the stale
record is dropped. Every failure mode fails safe by leaving the
directory untouched.
For remote (SSH) projects, the stat runs on the remote host via a new
`GitWorktreeCreatedAt` request. Worktrees created by a different Zed
install (another release channel, or another machine connecting to the
same host) have no record in the local database and are therefore never
auto-archived, which is the intended conservative behavior.

Closes AI-352
Release Notes:
- Fixed archiving an agent thread incorrectly deleting manually-created
git worktrees.
Adds provider-side context compaction support to the Anthropic and
OpenAI API clients. Client plumbing only; not wired into the UI.

# Objective
When reviewing changes in the Git Panel, the only ways to open a file
were through a diff view ("Open Diff" or "Open Diff (File)"). There was
no way to open the file directly in the editor to inspect or edit its
current contents without entering a diff.
This PR adds a **View File** action to the Git Panel changes list
context menu.
## Solution
- Add a `git::ViewFile` action in `crates/git/src/git.rs`, alongside
other per-file git actions like `FileHistory`.
- Wire it into the Git Panel file context menu, between the diff actions
and "View File History".
- Implement `GitPanel::view_file` to resolve the selected entry's repo
path to a project path and open it via `workspace.open_path_preview`,
matching the pattern used in `commit_view::open_file_at_head`.
- Document the new action in `docs/src/git.md`.
### Related issues
- https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/58250
## Testing
- Added three GPUI tests in `git_panel.rs`:
- `test_view_file_tracked` — modified tracked file
- `test_view_file_untracked` — untracked file
- `test_view_file_tree_view` — nested file in tree view
- Ran `cargo test -p git_ui test_view_file` — all three pass.
- Ran `./script/clippy -p git_ui` — clean.
**Manual testing for reviewers:**
1. Open a project with changed files and open the Git Panel.
2. Right-click a changed file and select **View File**.
3. Confirm the file opens in the editor (not a diff view).
4. Repeat for an untracked file and with tree view enabled.
5. Confirm **Open Diff** and **Open Diff (File)** still work.
Tested on macOS only. Linux and Windows should behave the same since
this is a context menu action with no platform-specific code, but I
haven't verified on those platforms.

Follow-up to #58996. The "Remove Worktree from Window" button captured
the row index at render time and re-resolved it against the picker's
matches at click time. Matches are rebuilt asynchronously (initial
worktree list load, post-delete refresh, query changes), so the index
could drift between the rendered frame and the click being processed,
closing the workspace of a different worktree than the one the user
clicked.
This changes the click handler to capture the worktree's path — a stable
identity — instead of its index, adds the same `deleting_worktree_paths`
click-time guard the neighboring handlers use, and constructs the button
only when it will actually be shown.
Scoped to the code added in #58996; the same stale-index pattern in the
delete and open-in-new-window handlers is left for a later change.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where the worktree picker's "Remove Worktree from
Window" button could act on the wrong worktree if the list updated at
the moment of the click.
Update the toast shown after running `git: push` so as to always include
a button to create a pull request for the current branch.
We used to only do this on the initial push, as that is when the output
of running `git push` would include an URL that could be used to create
the Pull Request. However, since we now have a `git: create pull
request`, we can always build this URL, meaning we no longer need to
rely on the command's output in order to display the "Create Pull
Request" button.
Something worth noting is that the
`git_ui::remote_output::format_output` function used to also match on
Bitbucket's terminal output, so these changes include the implementation
of `GitHostingProvider::build_create_pull_request_url` for the
`Bitbucket` provider.

Release Notes:
- Improved the toast shown after `git: push` to always display the
"Create Pull Request" button
This change is motivated by user feedback where we saw some confusion
where they didn't know that you could create either a worktree or branch
through simply typing in their respective picker's editor. Hopefully,
this new placeholder in each of them will help communicate that.
Release Notes:
- Improved placeholder copywriting in both the branch and worktree
pickers to communicate it's possible to type-to-create each.

The git worktree picker shows worktrees open in the current window, but
had no way to remove them. This adds a "Remove Worktree from Window"
button (same `X` icon as the recent projects picker's "Remove Project

Closes#53399
Release Notes:
- Fixed git graph loading forever for empty repositories.
This PR changes how base texts are managed by the `buffer_diff` crate,
to enable keeping two diff entities alive that share the same base text
buffer entity. Previously, each diff owned its own base text buffer and
edited it when calling `BufferDiff::set_snapshot`, so the only way to
reuse the same base text between two diffs was to have two independent
buffers for it, which is pretty inefficient.
After this PR, each diff still has a base text buffer, but
`set_snapshot` doesn't edit it. Instead, that responsibility moves into
the caller. For updating the base text buffer, this PR also introduces a
new pair of APIs, `Buffer::snapshot_with_edits` and
`Buffer::fast_forward`, which allow us to move the parsing of the new
base text into the background and then install the new syntax tree
synchronously on the foreground.
The git store uses the low-level APIs `set_snapshot` and `fast_forward`
directly, and manages the head text and index text buffers itself
(garbage-collecting them when they're no longer needed); this enables
adding an `open_staged_diff` API which returns a diff between the
managed index buffer and the managed head buffer (the latter is also
used for the uncommitted diff's base text). Other downstreams don't need
to reuse a base text buffer, and those have been migrated to use the
high-level `set_base_text` API, which now calls `set_snapshot` and
`fast_forward` internally, with a guard to prevent concurrent updates.
Another change worthy of note is that we now always diff the old base
text with the new base text to create `snapshot_with_edits`.
There are also some incidental bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue where a dangling weak unstaged diff could stick around
in the git store forever
- Restored the `IndexMatchesHead` optimization that had become
inoperative in the remote case
- Fixed a crash in the multibuffer due to the handling of
`BufferDiffEvent::LanguageChanged`, which could cause the multibuffer to
have transforms that were inconsistent with the diff base text.

Right-clicking a ref label (branch, remote ref, or tag) in the git graph
now opens a ref-specific context menu that resolves custom git commands
with the clicked ref exposed as ZED_GIT_REF, mirroring how VS Code's git
graph offers ref-aware actions. Right-clicking elsewhere on a commit
keeps the existing commit-scoped menu.

This is an unsolicited contribution, I hope that's ok. The feature is
small and I didn't want to open a discussion just for this.
There was no way to write to `.git/info/exclude` from Zed, so I added
one.
The "Add to .gitignore" action in the project panel and git panel
context menus is now grouped under a "Git" submenu, with a new "Add to
.git/info/exclude" action next to it.
Both actions:
- skip the write if the pattern is already there
- make sure there's a trailing newline
- show an error toast if something goes wrong
- fail gracefully on remote repositories
In the git panel both entries are disabled unless the file is untracked,
same as the gitignore action was before.
The write logic is shared via a small private helper, covered by two
unit tests.

Fixes hardcoded SHA lengths not using the `SHORT_SHA_LENGTH` constant.
Release Notes:
- Reduced short commit SHAs in blame and commit tooltips from 8 to 7 -
consistent with the graph and history views.
This migrates the `Workspace::show_error` method to take a generic type
that implements `WorkspaceError` instead. That trait containts methods
to show a proper error message but most importantly means to help with
providing actions given certain errors.
The intention for this is rather easy: Whenever we show an error to the
user on the workspace level, that error should be
- actionable to a degree, even if that is only opening logs or whatnot
- show a message that is understandable to the user
- for not-too-critical errors, should hide after a certain delay and not
force the user to dismiss it using their mouse.
For now, there exist trait implementations for string error types and
anyhow errors. The long term goal here is to get rid of these altogether
and migrate everything to be strongly typed and especially actionable
instead.

We had a nested spawn that was disguising the fact that the actual

This only seems to cause problems in release builds due to timing
issues.

Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug where clicking the button to trust a git repository would
do nothing.
- Don't emit unnecessary edited events from the multibuffer when setting
excerpts is a no-op
- Limit excerpt recomputation in the project diff when diffs or
conflicts change to just the affected buffer
- Ignore diff events in the project diff that can't affect excerpt
boundaries
Also includes some drive-by improvements to the handling of merge
conflicts:
- Await initial conflicts parse when opening a conflict set (like
diffs), so we don't see an initial incorrect "no conflicts" state
- Make the project diff subscribe to conflicts directly instead of
indirecting through the editor (also like diffs)
- Instead of saving the affected buffer when resolving a conflict, just
avoid re-registering dirty buffers with the project diff, so that
excerpts for conflicts don't disappear quite so eagerly (once more: like
diffs)
The combination of these changes greatly cuts down the amount of time
spent syncing the `DisplayMap`, which is especially bad for the split
view.

This PR adds a "This Window" section to the worktree picker that's
similar to the one that exists in the recent projects modal. This is
particularly helpful when, for a given project group/repository, you
have more than one worktree loaded, allowing you to more easily switch
between them.

loaded.
This PR unifies the naming of the tabs in the branch selector by
updating `stash` to `stashes` (to match `branches`). Also updates the

## Why
This is the first step in moving the Git Graph work into the Git UI
crate before continuing with follow-up refactors and feature work. The
goal is for Git UI components and shared Git UI helpers to live in one
crate, so future changes to the Git Graph can reuse existing `git_ui`
code instead of duplicating it.
This PR is not only a filesystem move. While moving `git_graph` into
`git_ui`, a few small dependency and helper boundaries had to change:
- `git_graph` and `git_ui` both needed the same remote parsing and
commit tooltip construction behavior, so those pieces are now shared
from `git_ui`.
- `git_graph` previously depended on `project_panel` to resolve
file-history actions from the project panel selection. After moving
`git_graph` into `git_ui`, keeping that dependency would create an
undesirable `git_ui` -> `project_panel` relationship. The
project-panel-specific action forwarding now lives in `project_panel`,
and calls into exported `git_ui::git_graph` helpers instead.
- `git_graph` initialization now happens through `git_ui::init`, so
downstream crates only need to initialize `git_ui`.
This prepares the codebase for the next planned PRs: splitting the large
`git_graph.rs` implementation into smaller pieces, then adding Git Graph
features such as keeping the main branch lane at index `0`.
## License removal
The removed `crates/git_graph/LICENSE-GPL` file was a symlink to the
repository root `LICENSE-GPL`. The moved code is now inside `git_ui`,
which is also licensed as `GPL-3.0-or-later` and has its own
`LICENSE-GPL` symlink to the same root license file. The code did not
move to a differently licensed crate; it remains covered by the same GPL
license.

Hello Zed Team, this is my first contribution. I use Zed every day and
have always wanted to see the total for the plus/minus counts in the Git
diff panel. Here is my attempt to make that happen. Please let me know
if there are any issues and I will fix them. Thank you.
Adds git diff stats to the Git panel so users can see the total number
of added and removed lines while reviewing changes.
Verified locally by compiling and running Zed, then confirming the Git
panel displays the diff count as expected.
Release Notes:
- Improved Git panel diff visibility by showing total added and removed
line counts.

Closes#56602.
Creating a branch from the branch picker normalizes the typed name with
`replace(' ', "-")`, so leading or trailing spaces became leading or
trailing hyphens (e.g. ` fix-leak ` -> `-fix-leak-`). git rejects such
names, so branch creation failed.
Trimming the query before replacing spaces yields a valid name.
Release Notes:
- git_ui: Fixed branch creation failing when a branch name had leading
or trailing whitespace

Adds two built-in agent tools, behind the staff-only
`create-thread-tool` feature flag, that let the agent spawn independent
sibling threads:
- **`create_thread`** creates a new thread with a title and initial
prompt. It runs on the user's behalf and shows up in the agent sidebar
like a thread the user started themselves, but it runs in the background
— the active thread is never interrupted — and it does **not** report
results back to the caller. (Use `spawn_agent` when you want the
results.)
- **`list_agents_and_models`** enumerates the configured agents and, for
the native agent, the available models, so the agent can pick a
cheaper/faster model for bulk work. The motivating stress test was
"spawn 100 threads that each write a haiku, using Haiku instead of
Opus."
By default the sibling shares the parent's project and worktree. If
`use_new_worktree` is set, `create_thread` instead opens a new
background workspace backed by fresh linked git worktrees of the
project's repos — the same flow you get from the worktree picker's
"Create worktree" — and starts the thread there. The new workspace opens
as a background tab so it doesn't pull you away from what you're doing.
A few notes on the design:
- The `agent` crate can't depend on the UI, so there's a
`SiblingThreadHost` trait that `agent_ui::AgentPanel` implements and
installs on the `NativeAgent`. Tool calls in a native-agent thread route
through it.
- Sibling threads go through the same `create_agent_thread` →
`ConversationView` path as the user-facing "new thread" action, so
eviction, persistence, and sidebar rendering match user-created threads.
- An explicit `agent`/`model` override doesn't clobber the panel's
selected agent or the last-used-agent preference — those are snapshotted
and restored around the call.
- The worktree path reuses the existing "Create worktree" machinery
rather than reimplementing it; the agent flow just opens the new
workspace in the background instead of activating it.
A couple of things I left out or want to call out:
- There's no tool to operate on an already-created sibling by session
id. The success payload deliberately omits it, since the session is
populated asynchronously and nothing consumes it yet.
- When a project has multiple worktrees that are linked worktrees of the
*same* underlying repo, they collapse into a single new worktree (they
resolve to the same target path). The tool returns a warning in that
