Lavi SharmaandBennet Bo Fenner 36a291b0e9 agent: Add commit message project rules toggle (#56867)
This follows up on discussion #56551.

Right now, when Zed generates a commit message, it includes project
rules files like `AGENTS.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, and `.rules` in the prompt
alongside the git diff. That can add a lot of extra context for a task
that is really just summarizing the changes in a commit.

This PR adds an `include_project_rules` option to
`agent.commit_message_model`. When it is set to `false`, Zed skips
loading project rules when generating commit messages. If the option is
omitted, the current behavior stays the same.

Example:

```json
   {
     "agent": {
       "commit_message_model": {
         "provider": "anthropic",
         "model": "claude-3-5-haiku",
         "include_project_rules": false
       }
     }
   }
 ```

I also updated the settings plumbing so this option is only used for commit message generation and defaults to true when not specified.

Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

 Release Notes:

 - agent: Added setting to exclude project rules files from commit message generation prompts (`agent.commit_message_include_project_rules`)

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

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.
