morgankrey 9168df6260 docs: Apply documentation standards across all docs (#49177)
## Summary

Comprehensive remediation of 146 documentation files to align with Zed's
documentation conventions and brand voice guidelines.

## Changes

### YAML Frontmatter
- Added `title` and `description` frontmatter to all docs missing it

### Settings UI Pattern
- Updated 48+ files to show Settings Editor before JSON examples
- Pattern: `Configure X in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}), or add to
your settings file:`
- Added `([how to edit](./configuring-zed.md#settings-files))` links for
JSON-only settings

### Brand Voice Fixes
- Removed exclamation points (command-palette, key-bindings, repl,
privacy-and-security, etc.)
- Simplified em dash chains to parentheticals (environment,
troubleshooting, agent-panel, etc.)
- Fixed marketing language (yarn.md intro, development/linux.md)

### Terminology Alignment
- `settings UI` -> `Settings Editor`
- `sidebar` -> specific panel names (Project Panel, Collab Panel)
- `directory` -> `folder` in non-technical contexts
- `workspace` -> `project` in non-LSP contexts
- `Command Palette` -> `command palette` (lowercase)

### Callout Standardization
- Converted various callout formats to standard `> **Note:**` pattern

## Related

Depends on conventions established in #49176.

Shell Script Configure Shell Script language support in Zed, including language servers, formatting, and debugging.

Shell Scripts

Shell Scripts (bash, zsh, dash, sh) are supported natively by Zed.

Settings

Configure settings in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}) under Languages > Shell Script, or add to your settings file:

  "languages": {
    "Shell Script": {
      "tab_size": 2,
      "hard_tabs": false
    }
  }

Formatting

Zed supports auto-formatting Shell Scripts using external tools like shfmt.

  1. Install shfmt:
brew install shfmt            # macos (homebrew)
sudo apt-get install shfmt    # debian/ubuntu
dnf install shfmt             # fedora
yum install shfmt             # redhat
pacman -Sy shfmt              # archlinux
choco install shfmt           # windows (chocolatey)
  1. Ensure shfmt is available in your path and check the version:
which shfmt
shfmt --version
  1. Configure formatting in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}) under Languages > Shell Script, or add to your settings file:
  "languages": {
    "Shell Script": {
      "format_on_save": "on",
      "formatter": {
        "external": {
          "command": "shfmt",
          // Change `--indent 2` to match your preferred tab_size
          "arguments": ["--filename", "{buffer_path}", "--indent", "2"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
