## Summary Extends #46011 to make folds survive tab close and workspace cleanup. - Adds `file_folds` table keyed by `(workspace_id, path)` instead of `editor_id` - Follows the `breakpoints` table pattern in `workspace/src/persistence.rs` - Includes backwards-compatible migration from `editor_folds` on first read cc @Veykril - you reviewed the original fold persistence PR, this extends it to handle the tab-close case. ## Problem Folds stored by `editor_id` get deleted when: 1. User closes a tab 2. Tab is removed from workspace serialization 3. On next Zed start, `cleanup()` deletes editor rows not in `loaded_items` 4. `ON DELETE CASCADE` wipes associated folds 5. User manually reopens file → folds gone This is especially painful for PKM/notes workflows where folds represent permanent document structure (collapsed sections, reference blocks, etc). ## Solution Store folds by file path, not editor ID. The `breakpoints` table already proves this pattern works in Zed - breakpoints persist across tab close because they're keyed by path. ## Migration The PR includes backwards-compatible migration: reads from `file_folds` first, falls back to `get_editor_folds()`, and migrates old data on first read. Happy to remove this if you'd prefer a clean break - I'd delete `get_editor_folds()`, remove the fallback logic in `read_metadata_from_db()`, and add a `DROP TABLE IF EXISTS editor_folds` migration. Users would lose any folds saved before the update. ## Test Plan - [x] Unit test for `file_folds` queries in `persistence.rs` - [x] Manual test: Open file → fold → close tab → quit Zed → reopen → manually open file → folds restored Release Notes: - N/A Co-authored-by: Hector <hector@cyberneticwilderness.com>
