Following up on #49183 which fixed the category filter for remote
extensions.
This PR applies the same category filter logic to **dev extensions**.
Previously, dev extensions were always shown regardless of the selected
category filter (e.g., "Themes", "Languages").
Changes:
- Add `filtered_dev_extension_indices` to track which dev extensions
match the active `provides_filter`
- Add `dev_extension_matches_provides()` helper to map
`ExtensionManifest` fields to `ExtensionProvides` variants
- Update `render_extensions()` and list count to use filtered dev
extension indices
Release Notes:
- Fixed extension category filter not applying to dev extensions in the
extensions panel.

Closes#48537
**Explanation:**
The Deno test task example wasn't appearing because the undefined
ZED_CUSTOM_DENO_TEST_NAME variable made the filter invalid. Instead of
adding a default value, simplify the example to run all tests in the
file, which is the most common use case and works out of the box.

Follow-up to #49187.
Instead of silently skipping updates when `try_borrow_mut` fails, this
PR defers the update by spawning it on the foreground executor. This
ensures the state change is eventually processed after the current
borrow completes.
Release Notes:
- N/A
The `on_thermal_state_change` and `on_keyboard_layout_change` callbacks
in `App::new_app()` called `borrow_mut()` unconditionally. These
callbacks are invoked asynchronously by macOS via dispatch queues when
the system's thermal or keyboard state changes, which can happen while
the app's RefCell is already borrowed during an update cycle, causing a
panic.
This change uses `try_borrow_mut()` instead. If the borrow fails
(because the app is already borrowed), the callback silently skips the
update - the state can be queried on the next frame.
Fixes [ZED-4WM](https://zed-dev.sentry.io/issues/ZED-4WM)
Closes#49181
Release Notes:
- Fixed a crash on macOS caused by thermal or keyboard layout state
changes occurring during UI updates.

## Bug
**Sentry:**
[ZED-3W3](https://sentry.io/organizations/zed-dev/issues/7085300207/)
(13 events, first seen 2025-12-03)
`summaries_for_anchors` panics with "cannot seek backward" when
iterating selection anchors whose excerpt locators are no longer in
ascending order after an `update_path_excerpts` call.
### Root cause
`update_path_excerpts` merges new excerpt ranges with existing ones.
When an existing excerpt has no overlap with any new range (e.g.
`existing_range.end < new.context.start`), it is removed from the
excerpts tree but is **not** recorded in `replaced_excerpts`. Its stale
locator persists in the `excerpt_ids` tree.
Later, when a new excerpt is inserted for a different path whose locator
falls between the stale locator and another surviving excerpt,
`summaries_for_anchors` can encounter anchors in an order where it needs
to seek the cursor *backward* — violating the forward-only cursor
invariant.
Concretely, the scenario requires:
1. A path with ≥3 excerpts (E_B1, E_B2, E_B3) with anchors in E_B2 and
E_B3.
2. An `update_path_excerpts` call that keeps E_B1, **removes E_B2** (no
overlap → no `replaced_excerpts` entry), and replaces E_B3 with a new
excerpt N.
3. A new path D inserted between paths B and C, whose excerpt E_D gets a
locator between N and E_B2's stale locator.
4. Resolving the old anchors: E_B2's stale locator seeks past E_D, then
E_B3→N tries to seek backward to N — **panic**.
## Fix
In the two branches of `update_path_excerpts` where existing excerpts
are removed without being absorbed into a new range, map the removed
excerpt to the nearest surviving neighbor (the last kept or inserted
excerpt) in `replaced_excerpts`. This ensures stale anchors always remap
to a valid, correctly-ordered locator.
The two branches are:
- `existing_range.end < new.context.start` — existing excerpt falls
entirely before the next new range
- `(None, Some(...))` — no more new ranges for remaining existing
excerpts
## Verification
- A reproduction test
(`test_cannot_seek_backward_after_excerpt_replacement`) that constructs
the exact crash scenario now passes.
- Full `multi_buffer` test suite (48 tests) passes with no regressions.
- Clippy is clean.
Release Notes:
- Fixed a possible crash when updating excerpts in multibuffers
Closes#42842
Previously, OpenFolderInWsl action assumed a valid path is on the host
and failed to open paths inside the WSL filesystem (accessed through
UNC)
Now the action checks for a WSL path and opens it with the appropriate
distro (skipping the choice modal)
This was manually confirmed to not regress as well as work with WSL
paths.
Code was written by hand, with extra checking by OpenAI Codex.
Release Notes:
- Fixed paths inside the WSL filesystem failing to open when using "open
folder in wsl"
Release Notes:
- Fixed prevent shell command injection in conda environment activation
The conda environment name was directly interpolated into the shell
command without proper escaping, which could allow command injection
if the environment name contained malicious shell metacharacters.

## Summary
- Adds a "Rules Hygiene" section to `.rules` after the existing Build
Guidelines section
- Establishes clear guidelines for when/how AI agents should propose
`.rules` changes
- Adds a "Crash Investigation" section with reference to
`script/crash-to-prompt` and other crash tooling
## What's in the Rules Hygiene section
**After any agentic session:** Agents should include a "Suggested .rules
additions" heading in their PR description if they discover non-obvious
patterns. Reviewers decide what gets merged.
**High bar for new rules:** Editing existing rules is always welcome.
New rules must be (1) non-obvious, (2) repeatedly encountered, and (3)
specific enough to act on. Single-crate rules go in that crate's
`.rules`.
**No drive-by additions:** Rules emerge from validated patterns through
a 3-step workflow: agent notes pattern → team validates → dedicated
commit.
## Context
Part of the Background Agent Pipeline initiative (BIZOPS-801). As we
scale automated crash investigation, we need guardrails to prevent
`.rules` bloat from agent sessions.
## Test plan
- [ ] Open a test agent session and confirm it sees the Rules Hygiene
guidance
- [ ] Verify the guidance is clear enough to follow without additional
context

This PR uses the recently introduced `CircularProgress` component to
display context window use information. It creates more space for the
message editor controls as well as simplifies the UI a little bit.
Through a tooltip, we communicate the same things we communicated before
(and more, actually, because rules use will be displayed there, too).
Note that this doesn't touch the display of split token use (for models
like GPT and whatnot).

Release Notes:
- Agent: Simplified context window use display by using a circular
progress component.
## Summary
- **Add category-claiming keywords** to 4 key AI doc intros (overview,
agent panel, edit prediction, configuration) so Google associates these
pages with "AI code editor" search terms
- **Expand AI overview into a pillar page** with substantive feature
summaries and a "How Zed approaches AI" differentiation section (open
source, native performance, multi-model, external agents, privacy)
- **Improve internal linking** across 11 files to strengthen the AI
topic cluster
## Internal linking changes
**Inbound links (non-AI docs → AI section):**
- `editing-code.md` → AI overview
- `terminal.md` → Inline Assistant + Agent Panel
- `configuring-zed.md` → AI Configuration
- `remote-development.md` → AI overview
**Fix orphans within AI section:**
- `billing.md` linked to subscription + plans (was orphaned with zero
internal links)
- `tools.md`, `rules.md`, `llm-providers.md`, `tool-permissions.md`,
`models.md` all now cross-link to related AI pages
**Outbound:**
- `overview.md` → `zed.dev/ai` and `getting-started.md`
## Test plan
- [ ] `mdbook build docs` succeeds
- [ ] Spot-check links resolve correctly in built output
- [ ] Review overview.md content for docs voice fit

Closes#49119.
Release Notes:

Here's some backstory:
* on macOS, @cole-miller and I noticed that since roughly Oct 2025, due
to some changes to latest macOS Tahoe, for any spawned child process we
needed to reset Mach exception ports
(https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/36754 +
https://github.com/RemiKalbe/zed/commit/6e8f2d2ebe5a93753625a3026aeb996de8cb436b)
* the changes in that PR achieve that via `pre_exec` hook on
`std::process::Command` which then abandons `posix_spawn` syscall for
`fork` + `execve` dance on macOS (we tracked it down in Rust's std
implementation)
* as it turns out, `fork` + `execve` is pretty expensive on macOS
(apparently way more so than on other OSes like Linux) and `fork` takes
a process-wide lock on the allocator which is bad
* however, since we wanna reset exception ports on the child, the only
official way supported by Rust's std is to use `pre_exec` hook
* posix_spawn on macOS exposes this tho via a macOS specific extension
to that syscall `posix_spawnattr_setexceptionports_np` but there is no
way to use that via any standard interfaces in `std::process::Command`
* thus, it seemed like a good idea to instead create our own custom
Command wrapper that on non-macOS hosts is a zero-cost wrapper of
`smol::process::Command`, while on macOS we reimplement the minimum to
achieve `smol::process::Command` with `posix_spawn` under-the-hood
Notably, this changeset improves git-blame in very large repos
significantly.
Release Notes:
- Fixed performance spawning child processes on macOS by always forcing
`posix_spawn` no matter what.

This PR #47407 broke thinking models for non-zed providers (Nightly
only) because we set `thinking_allowed` to `thinking_enabled`
(previously `true`)
[here](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/b671c8cdc5a73d49d158a84f386f8fecbfbae65a/crates/agent/src/thread.rs#L2400).
The value of `thinking_enabled` eventually comes from the
`LanguageModel::supports_thinking` function, which returns `false` for
all models except the ones coming from Zed.
This PR implements `thinking_enabled` for other providers.

This PR aims to correctly detect the hyperlinks in cases like the
following, where box-drawing characters immediately precede the path
(without spaces in between).
```
╭─[Cargo.toml:55:1]

The only false negative with the fix in this PR would be that a file
path really contains leading box drawing characters which I think is
very unlikely.

Fixes#28339
## What
- Normalize cwd-relative path-like targets that include leading `..`
before worktree lookup.
- Update issue #28339 tests to expect `WorktreeExact` for local and
remote resolution.
## Why
- Prevent terminal links like `../foo/bar.txt` from creating invalid
entries; resolve to the correct worktree file instead.
## How to test
- `cargo test -p terminal_view issue_28339 -- --nocapture`
- Manual: open a workspace, run `echo ../foo/bar.txt` from a subdir in
the terminal, then cmd/ctrl-click and confirm the correct file opens.
## Risk
- Low: only changes terminal path-like resolution for `..` paths;
expected to match normalized behavior.
## Checklist
- [x] Tests run (`cargo test -p terminal_view issue_28339 --
--nocapture`)
- [x] Docs updated (not needed)
- [x] Backwards compatibility considered
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where relative paths starting with `..` would not resolve correctly when clicking the link in the terminal

Follow-up to #21137
The manual install instructions in `linux.md` set `Exec=` to
`libexec/zed-editor` (main binary) instead of `bin/zed` (cli).
Using `zed-editor` directly throws "zed is already running" error and
files won't open from the file explorer. The "Open a new workspace"
right-click option on the desktop entry also doesn't work correctly.
Release Notes:
- N/A
When the multi-workspace thread restoration feature serializes the
active thread's session ID, it includes empty threads that were never
persisted to the database (because `NativeAgent::save_thread` skips
empty threads). On restart, `AgentPanel::load()` tries to restore this
thread by calling `load_agent_thread()`, which queries the SQLite DB.
Since the empty thread was never saved, the query returns `None`, which
becomes the error: "no thread found with ID: SessionId(...)". This shows
as "Error Loading Zed Agent" / "Failed to Launch" in the UI.
**Fix:**
Before attempting to restore a serialized thread on panel load, query
the DB to verify the thread actually exists. If it doesn't, log an error
and skip restoration (the panel falls back to creating a new thread as
normal).
Closes AI-19

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.
