Anthony Eid 25400ab85c agent: Auto-select user model when there's no default (#54125)
Reimplements #36722 while fixing the race that required the revert in
#36932.

When no default model is configured, this picks an environment fallback
by authenticating all providers. It always prefers the Zed cloud
provider when it's authenticated, and waits for its models to load
before picking another provider as the fallback, so we don't flicker
from Zed models to Anthropic while sign-in is in flight.

The fallback is recomputed whenever provider state changes (via
`ProviderStateChanged`/`AddedProvider`/`RemovedProvider` events), so the
selection becomes correct as soon as cloud models arrive.

### What changed vs. the original PR

- `language_models::init` now owns `authenticate_all_providers`
(previously done in `LanguageModelPickerDelegate` and `agent`'s
`LanguageModels`).
- After all authentications settle, and on any subsequent provider state
change, `update_environment_fallback_model` recomputes the fallback.
- The fallback logic prefers Zed cloud: if the cloud provider is
authenticated, only use it (waiting for its models to load). Otherwise,
fall through to the first authenticated provider with a default or
recommended model.
- `LanguageModelRegistry::default_model()` falls back to
`environment_fallback_model` when no explicit default is set.
- Existing `Thread`s that are empty are updated to the new default when
`DefaultModelChanged` fires, so a blank thread started before sign-in
switches to Zed models once the user signs in.

Release Notes:

- agent: Automatically select a model when there's no selected model or configured default

Licensing

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
