"..." in edit_predictions.disabled_globs (#64540)
## Objective Let users and projects add edit prediction exclusion patterns without repeating defaults or inherited patterns. Part of #64399. ## Solution Extend the `"..."` convention from #62769, #64222, #64440, and #64484 to `edit_predictions.disabled_globs` using `SplicingVec`. Inherited patterns are inserted at `"..."`, and duplicates retain their first occurrence. Omitting the marker replaces the list, `[]` clears it, and omitting the setting preserves inheritance. Opening an absent setting now initializes it with `["..."]` instead of clearing inherited patterns, and the selection is located by parsing the JSON instead of a regex, so a commented-out or nested `"disabled_globs"` can no longer capture it. Cursor imports append `"..."` like the `files.exclude` import does, so Zed's sensitive-file defaults survive an import; empty lists and empty or literal `"..."` entries are dropped, matching `enabled_patterns`. ## Testing Tested on macOS with settings merge and loading tests, Cursor import tests, the UI settings update and selection path (including commented-out and nested decoy keys), the new `settings_json` key-path lookup, and Copilot integration coverage. To check manually, configure custom disabled patterns alongside `"..."` and confirm that both custom patterns and inherited sensitive-file patterns remain disabled. Repeat without `"..."` and with `[]` to verify replacement and clearing. Opening the setting when it is absent should preserve inherited patterns. ## 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 adheres to Zed’s UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable --- Release Notes: - Added support for `"..."` in `edit_predictions.disabled_globs` so custom patterns can extend inherited exclusions, and fixed "Configure Excluded Files" selecting the wrong list when a commented-out `disabled_globs` precedes it. --------- Co-authored-by: Kirill Bulatov <kirill@zed.dev>
