morgankrey 6daa541e77 docs: Apply documentation standards across all docs (#49177)
## Summary

Comprehensive remediation of 146 documentation files to align with Zed's
documentation conventions and brand voice guidelines.

## Changes

### YAML Frontmatter
- Added `title` and `description` frontmatter to all docs missing it

### Settings UI Pattern
- Updated 48+ files to show Settings Editor before JSON examples
- Pattern: `Configure X in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}), or add to
your settings file:`
- Added `([how to edit](./configuring-zed.md#settings-files))` links for
JSON-only settings

### Brand Voice Fixes
- Removed exclamation points (command-palette, key-bindings, repl,
privacy-and-security, etc.)
- Simplified em dash chains to parentheticals (environment,
troubleshooting, agent-panel, etc.)
- Fixed marketing language (yarn.md intro, development/linux.md)

### Terminology Alignment
- `settings UI` -> `Settings Editor`
- `sidebar` -> specific panel names (Project Panel, Collab Panel)
- `directory` -> `folder` in non-technical contexts
- `workspace` -> `project` in non-LSP contexts
- `Command Palette` -> `command palette` (lowercase)

### Callout Standardization
- Converted various callout formats to standard `> **Note:**` pattern

## Related

Depends on conventions established in #49176.

Bash Configure Bash language support in Zed, including language servers, formatting, and debugging.

Bash

Bash language support in Zed is provided by the community-maintained Basher extension. Report issues to: https://github.com/d1y/bash.zed/issues

Configuration

When shellcheck is available bash-language-server will use it internally to provide diagnostics.

Install shellcheck:

brew install shellcheck             # macOS (HomeBrew)
apt-get install shellcheck          # Ubuntu/Debian
pacman -S shellcheck                # ArchLinux
dnf install shellcheck              # Fedora
yum install shellcheck              # CentOS/RHEL
zypper install shellcheck           # openSUSE
choco install shellcheck            # Windows (Chocolatey)

And verify it is available from your path:

which shellcheck
shellcheck --version

If you wish to customize the warnings/errors reported you just need to create a .shellcheckrc file. You can do this in the root of your project or in your home directory (~/.shellcheckrc). See: shellcheck documentation for more.
