MCP tool names can contain colons (e.g. `mcp:server:tool`), which broke
the `splitn(3, ':')` parsing of always-allow/always-deny pattern option
IDs. This switches to newline (`\n`) as the delimiter between tool name
and pattern, since newlines cannot appear in either component.
## Changes
- **Option ID format**: Changed from
`always_allow_pattern:{tool}:{pattern}` to
`always_allow_pattern:{tool}\n{pattern}`
- **Response parsing**: Replaced `splitn(3, ':')` with `strip_prefix` +
`split_once('\n')`
- **Error logging**: Added `log::error!` when pattern parsing fails
(previously silent)
- **Tests**: Updated test assertions in `agent` and `agent_ui` crates
No release notes because granular tool permissions are still
feature-flagged.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a

failed to satisfy license requirementsfor 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 theacceptedarray inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml. - Is
cargo-aboutunable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
