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 https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/57155 Closes AI-352 Release Notes: - Fixed archiving an agent thread incorrectly deleting manually-created git worktrees.
Zed Server
This crate is what we run at https://collab.zed.dev.
It contains our back-end logic for collaboration, to which we connect from the Zed client via a websocket after authenticating via https://zed.dev, which is a separate repo running on Vercel.
Local Development
Database setup
Before you can run the collab server locally, you'll need to set up a zed Postgres database. Follow the steps sequentially:
- Ensure you have postgres installed. If not, install with
brew install postgresql@15. - Follow the steps on Brew's formula and verify your
$PATHcontains/opt/homebrew/opt/postgresql@15/bin. - If you hadn't done it before, create the
postgresuser withcreateuser -s postgres. - You are now ready to run the
bootstrapscript:
script/bootstrap
This script will set up the zed Postgres database, and populate it with some users. It requires internet access, because it fetches some users from the GitHub API.
The script will create several admin users, who you'll sign in as by default when developing locally. The GitHub logins for the default users are specified in the seed.default.json file.
To use a different set of admin users, create crates/collab/seed.json.
{
"admins": ["yourgithubhere"],
"channels": ["zed"]
}
Testing collaborative features locally
In one terminal, run Zed's collaboration server and the livekit dev server:
foreman start
In a second terminal, run two or more instances of Zed.
script/zed-local -2
This script starts one to four instances of Zed, depending on the -2, -3 or -4 flags. Each instance will be connected to the local collab server, signed in as a different user from seed.json or seed.default.json.
Deployment
We run two instances of collab:
- Staging (https://staging-collab.zed.dev)
- Production (https://collab.zed.dev)
Both of these run on the Kubernetes cluster hosted in Digital Ocean.
Deployment is triggered by pushing to the collab-staging (or collab-production) tag in GitHub. The best way to do this is:
./script/deploy-collab staging./script/deploy-collab production
You can tell what is currently deployed with ./script/what-is-deployed.
