LSP 3.18 allows servers to send [`MarkupContent` diagnostic messages](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.18/specification/#diagnostic), guarded by the client capability `textDocument.diagnostic.markupMessageSupport`. - Advertise `markup_message_support` only while pull diagnostics are enabled because `textDocument.diagnostic` is the pull-model capability. LSP 3.18 currently has no equivalent capability for push diagnostics: https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.18/specification/#diagnosticClientCapabilities https://github.com/microsoft/language-server-protocol/issues/2246 - Handle `string | MarkupContent` messages in both push and pull diagnostic paths: markdown-kind messages populate the existing `Diagnostic::markdown` field (rendered in hover popovers and the diagnostics panel), plaintext-kind markup remains plain text, and plain string messages keep going through the adapter's `diagnostic_message_to_markdown`. - Preserve server-provided markup for code actions sent back to the originating server, avoid forwarding markup diagnostics to other servers, and render diagnostic metadata without altering the server-provided markdown. - Carry the markup kind over RPC via a new optional `LspDiagnostic.markup_message_kind` proto field so remote/collab projects round-trip `MarkupContent` messages. Depends on the lsp-types change that turns `Diagnostic.message` into a `DiagnosticMessage` enum (`string | MarkupContent`): https://github.com/zed-industries/lsp-types/pull/15 Once merged, Cargo.toml can point to the upstream commit. Note that Zed already rendered some plain-string diagnostics as Markdown through language-specific adapter hooks, including `rust-analyzer`. This adds protocol-level support for diagnostics explicitly sent as LSP 3.18 `MarkupContent`, while preserving the existing adapter fallbacks. As a result, this does not introduce a new diagnostics rendering pipeline. Server-provided Markdown is routed through the existing `Diagnostic::markdown` path, with small fixes to handle Markdown-only updates and block content correctly. ## Showcase Example from [JETLS.jl](github.com/aviatesk/JETLS.jl) (a Julia language server): > Before <img width="924" height="160" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-15 at 16 05 40" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b19fe9e3-50e3-44e4-9b4d-ac8bd438d3d6" /> > After <img width="924" height="160" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-15 at 14 13 05" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/359c3382-118d-4fa6-aa91-6bd3661d3d28" /> --- Release Notes: - Added support for rendering LSP 3.18 Markdown diagnostic messages from language servers. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Co-authored-by: Kirill Bulatov <mail4score@gmail.com>
