This PR puts the `zed: open account settings` action behind the
`zed-pro` feature flag, as it isn't supposed to be visible to users yet.
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/17010.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR updates the `zed_extension_api` to v0.1.0 for the extensions
that live in this repo.
The changes in that version of additive, so none of the extensions need
to change their usage in order to upgrade.
Release Notes:

***Update**: after rebasing on top of
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/16915/ (that also changed how
search worked), the results are still good, but not 10x. Instead of
going from 10s to 500ms, it goes from 10s to 3s.*
This improves the performance of project-wide search by an order of
magnitude.
After digging in, @as-cii and I found that opening buffers was the
bottleneck for project-wide search (since Zed opens, parses, ... buffers
when finding them, which is something VS Code doesn't do, for example).
So this PR improves the performance of opening multiple buffers at once.
It does this by doing two things:
- It batches scan-requests in the worktree. When we search, we search
files in chunks of 64. Previously we'd handle all 64 scan requests
separately. The new code checks if the scan requests can be batched and
if so it, it does that.
- It batches `git status` calls when reloading the project entries for
the opened buffers. Instead of calling `git status` for each file, it
calls `git status` for a batch of files, and then extracts the status
for each file.
(It has to be said that I think the slow performance on `main` has been
a regression introduced over the last few months with the changes made
to project/worktree/git. I don't think it was this slow ~5 months ago.
But I also don't think it was this fast ~5 months ago.)
## Benchmarks
| Search | Before | After (without
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/16915) | After (with
https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/16915)

3.0s<br>2.9s<br>2.89s | 489ms<br>517ms<br>476ms | n/a |
| `zed.dev` at `2b2a501192e78e`, searching for `:` (`25886+` results) |

(All results recorded after doing a warm-up run that would start
language servers etc.)
Release Notes:
- Performance of project-wide search has been improved by up to 10x.

Bumps blade to `b37a9a994709d256f4634efd29281c78ba89071a` which
importantly includes a fix for leaking memory from Vulkan objects when
creating and destroying the context.
https://github.com/kvark/blade/pull/162
This improves https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/13346, but I
think there are still some improvements to be made.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Temporarily revert #16700 to deal with this error:
`error: manifest path `../crates/docs_preprocessor/Cargo.toml` does not
exist` as it was causing the docs-preprocessor not to run, meaning
unexpanded templates were showing up in the public docs.
Reverts zed-industries/zed#16700
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR adds a mdbook preprocessor for supporting Zed's docs.
This initial version adds the following custom commands:
**Keybinding**
`{#kb prefix::action_name}` (e.g. `{#kb zed::OpenSettings}`)
Outputs a keybinding template like `<kbd
class="keybinding">{macos_keybinding}|{linux_keybinding}</kbd>`. This
template is processed on the client side through `mdbook` to show the
correct keybinding for the user's platform.
**Action**
`{#action prefix::action_name}` (e.g. `{#action zed::OpenSettings}`)
For now, simply outputs the action name in a readable manner. (e.g.
zed::OpenSettings -> zed: open settings)
In the future we'll add additional modes for this template, like create
a standard way to render `{action} ({keybinding})`.
## Example Usage
```
To open the assistant panel, toggle the right dock by using the {#action workspace::ToggleRightDock} action in the command palette or by using the
{#kb workspace::ToggleRightDock} shortcut.
```
Release Notes:
- N/A
Follow-up https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/16085 that fixes
the search deploy to be actually a part of the terminal-related
bindings.
Part of https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/16839
Also
* fixes few other bindings to use `shift` and avoid conflicts with the
existing key bindings.
* adds terminal inline assist to the context menu and makes both the
menu and the button to dynamically adjust to `assist.enabled` settings
change
It is still unclear to me, why certain labels for certain bindings are
wrong (it's still showing `ctrl-w` for closing the terminal tab, and
`shift-insert` instead of `ctrl-shift-v` for Paste, while Insert is near
and has a `ctrl-shift-c` binding shown) but at least the keys work now.
Release notes:
- Improved Linux terminal keymap and context menu
Prototypes a way to display new entities in the outline panel, making it
less outline.
The design is not final and might be adjusted, but the workflow seems to
be solid enough to keep and iron it out.
* Now, when any project search buffer is activated (multi buffer mode),
or buffer search is open (singleton buffer mode, but is available for
search usages multi buffer too — in that case buffer search overrides
multi buffer's contents display), outline panel displays all search
matches instead of the outline items.
Outline items are not displayed at all during those cases, unless the
buffer search is closed, or a new buffer gets opened, of an active
buffer search matches zero items.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4a3e4faa-7f75-4522-96bb-3761872c753a
* For the multi buffer mode, search matches are grouped under
directories and files, same as outline items
* For buffer search , search matches are displayed one under another
For both cases, the entire match line is taken and rendered, with the
hover tooltip showing the line number.
So far it does not look very bad, but I am certain there are bad cases
with long lines and bad indents where it looks not optimal — this part
most probably will be redesigned after some trial.
Or, maybe, it's ok to leave the current state if the horizontal
scrollbar is added?
Clicking the item navigates to the item's position in the editor.
Search item lines are also possible to filter with the outline panel's
filter input.
* Inline panel is now possible to "pin" to track a currently active
editor, to display outlines/search results for that editor even if
another item is activated afterwards:
This is useful in combination with project search results display: now
it's possible to leave the search results pinned in the outline panel
and jump to every search result and back.
If the item the panel was pinned to gets closed, the panel gets back to
its regular state, showing outlines/search results for a currently
active editor.
Release Notes:
- Added a way to display buffer/project search entries in the outline
panel

Fixes:
- [x] an issue where directories would only match by prefix, causing
both a directory and a file to be matched if in the same directory
- [x] An issue where you could not continue a file completion when
selecting a directory, as `tab` on a file would always run the command.
This effectively disabled directory sub queries.
- [x] Inconsistent rendering of files and directories in the slash
command

This commit proposes the addition of "context serveres" and the
underlying protocol (model context protocol). Context servers allow
simple definition of slash commands in another language and running
local on the user machines. This aims to quickly prototype new commands,
and provide a way to add personal (or company wide) customizations to
the assistant panel, without having to maintain an extension. We can
use this to reuse our existing codebase, with authenticators, etc and
easily have it provide context into the assistant panel.
As such it occupies a different design space as extensions, which I
think are
more aimed towards long-term, well maintained pieces of code that can be
easily distributed.
It's implemented as a central crate for easy reusability across the
codebase
and to easily hook into the assistant panel at all points.
Design wise there are a few pieces:
1. client.rs: A simple JSON-RPC client talking over stdio to a spawned
server. This is
very close to how LSP work and likely there could be a combined client
down the line.
2. types.rs: Serialization and deserialization client for the underlying
model context protocol.
3. protocol.rs: Handling the session between client and server.
4. manager.rs: Manages settings and adding and deleting servers from a
central pool.
A server can be defined in the settings.json as:
```
"context_servers": [
{"id": "test", "executable": "python", "args": ["-m", "context_server"]
]
```
## Quick Example
A quick example of how a theoretical backend site can look like. With
roughly 100 lines
of code (nicely generated by Claude) and a bit of decorator magic (200
lines in total), one
can come up with a framework that makes it as easy as:
```python
@context_server.slash_command(name="rot13", description="Perform a rot13 transformation")
@context_server.argument(name="input", type=str, help="String to rot13")
async def rot13(input: str) -> str:
return ''.join(chr((ord(c) - 97 + 13) % 26 + 97) if c.isalpha() else c for c in echo.lower())
```
to define a new slash_command.
## Todo:
- Allow context servers to be defined in workspace settings.
- Allow passing env variables to context_servers
