liam bb021d2004 workspace: Skip closed items that cannot be reopened (#56299)
Resolves https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/55600

This diff fixes `pane::ReopenClosedItem` getting stuck when the
closed-item stack contains entries that cannot be reopened, such as
Project Search, untitled buffers, or Default Settings. Previously,
`Workspace::navigate_history_impl` would pop the newest closed entry and
stop if that item was no longer present in the pane and had no path
recorded for reopening. That made `cmd- shift-t` appear to do nothing
until enough attempts had consumed those unreopenable entries.

With this change, closed-item navigation keeps scanning when it
encounters an entry that cannot be activated or reopened by path. This
preserves the current path-based reopening behavior for normal files,
while avoiding no-op shortcuts caused by non-file items in the closed
stack.

This made me wonder whether or not we'd eventually want full reopen
support for non-traditional items like Project Search or bundled
settings editors. Supporting that properly would require storing
item-specific restoration state, such as search query/options for
Project Search or a bundled-file descriptor for Default Settings, and
teaching closed-item navigation how to recreate those items from that
state. Something definitely out of scope for this PR.

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.
