morgankrey 9168df6260 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.

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

Luau

Luau is a fast, small, safe, gradually typed, embeddable scripting language derived from Lua. Luau was developed by Roblox and is available under the MIT license.

Luau language support in Zed is provided by the community-maintained Luau extension. Report issues to: https://github.com/4teapo/zed-luau/issues

Configuration

Configuration instructions are available in the Luau Zed Extension README.

Formatting

To support automatically formatting your code, you can use JohnnyMorganz/StyLua, a Lua code formatter.

Install with:

# macOS via Homebrew
brew install stylua
# Or via Cargo
cargo install stylua --features lua52,lua53,lua54,luau

Configure formatting in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}) under Languages > Luau, or add to your settings file:

  "languages": {
    "Luau": {
      "formatter": {
        "external": {
          "command": "stylua",
          "arguments": ["-"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
