Ben Kunkle 90483395af project: Fix panic when an inlay hint response outlives its buffer version (#61747)
# Objective

Fix a nightly crash where Zed aborts on a bounds-check panic in the
inlay hint cache.

`LspStore::inlay_hints` captures a `RowChunk` before awaiting the
language server, then reads the hint cache with that chunk's id
afterwards. If the buffer shrank meanwhile, `latest_lsp_data` has
already rebuilt the cache with fewer chunks, so the stale id indexes out
of bounds. Chunks are 50 rows, so the reported crash only needed a
~150-250 line deletion, not a drastic edit.

Regressed in #61523. Nightly only; the regressing commit is in no
release tag, so this never reached preview or stable.

Fixes ZED-AGY
Fixes FR-142

## Solution

- Return an empty result when the buffer version no longer matches, so a
stale chunk id can never index the rebuilt cache. The stale *writes*
were already guarded by this version check; only the read sat outside
it.
- An empty result is already treated as "not fetched", so the chunk is
simply re-requested on the next refresh.

## Testing

`test_inlay_hint_response_after_buffer_shrinks` reproduces the abort
deterministically and passes with the fix. Note that it drives the race
through a fake language server rather than a real one.

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.
