We've been considering removing workspace-hack for a couple reasons:
- Lukas ran into a situation where its build script seemed to be causing
spurious rebuilds. This seems more likely to be a cargo bug than an
issue with workspace-hack itself (given that it has an empty build
script), but we don't necessarily want to take the time to hunt that
down right now.
- Marshall mentioned hakari interacts poorly with automated crate
updates (in our case provided by rennovate) because you'd need to have
`cargo hakari generate && cargo hakari manage-deps` after their changes
and we prefer to not have actions that make commits.
Currently removing workspace-hack causes our workspace to grow from
~1700 to ~2000 crates being built (depending on platform), which is
mainly a problem when you're building the whole workspace or running
tests across the the normal and remote binaries (which is where
feature-unification nets us the most sharing). It doesn't impact
incremental times noticeably when you're just iterating on `-p zed`, and
we'll hopefully get these savings back in the future when
rust-lang/cargo#14774 (which re-implements the functionality of hakari)
is finished.

Closes#39614
The `ShellKind` struct is built on Windows' side, meaning that when
connecting to remotes, we fall back to PowerShell construction, even if
the shell program we are spawning is a unix program.
This broke tasks creation since we are using the shell kind to construct
args:
d04ac864b8/crates/project/src/terminals.rs (L149)
In normal terminals this only affected activation scripts (only place
where shell kind is used)
I don't have a Windows machine to test it, so I would appreciate any
help with testing!
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where tasks could not be executed in Windows WSL

In the ACP changes, we changed how terminals are created for the agent,
and so the system prompt was putting in the system shell instead of the
default one, potentially causing confusion for the model.
These are now in sync, so this will hopefully alleviate issues people
were seeing, as well as use a more standard shell to increase the
likelihood of successful model tool calls.
Release Notes:
- agent: Align default shell path in system prompt with the actual path
it is given
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/38690Closes#37353
### Background
On Windows, paths are normally separated by `\`, unlike mac and linux
where they are separated by `/`. When editing code in a project that
uses a different path style than your local system (e.g. remoting from
Windows to Linux, using WSL, and collaboration between windows and unix
users), the correct separator for a path may differ from the "native"
separator.
Previously, to work around this, Zed converted paths' separators in
numerous places. This was applied to both absolute and relative paths,
leading to incorrect conversions in some cases.
### Solution
Many code paths in Zed use paths that are *relative* to either a
worktree root or a git repository. This PR introduces a dedicated type
for these paths called `RelPath`, which stores the path in the same way
regardless of host platform, and offers `Path`-like manipulation APIs.
RelPath supports *displaying* the path using either separator, so that
we can display paths in a style that is determined at runtime based on
the current project.
The representation of absolute paths is left untouched, for now.
Absolute paths are different from relative paths because (except in
contexts where we know that the path refers to the local filesystem)
they should generally be treated as opaque strings. Currently we use a
mix of types for these paths (std::path::Path, String, SanitizedPath).

This removes around 900 unnecessary clones, ranging from cloning a few
ints all the way to large data structures and images.
A lot of these were fixed using `cargo clippy --fix --workspace
--all-targets`, however it often breaks other lints and needs to be run
again. This was then followed up with some manual fixing.
I understand this is a large diff, but all the changes are pretty
trivial. Rust is doing some heavy lifting here for us. Once I get it up
to speed with main, I'd appreciate this getting merged rather sooner
than later.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Some MCP servers expose tools that take absolute paths as arguments. To
interact with these, the agent needs to know the absolute path to the
project directories, not just their names. This PR changes the system
prompt to include the full path to each worktree, and updates some tool
descriptions to reflect this.
Todo:
* [x] Run evals, make sure assistant still understand how to specify
paths for tools, now that we include abs paths in the system prompt.
Release Notes:
- Improved the agent's ability to use MPC tools that require absolute
paths to files and directories in the project.

https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/30972 brought up another
case where our context is not enough to track the actual source of the
issue: we get a general top-level error without inner error.
The reason for this was `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("failed to read HEAD
SHA"))?; ` on the top level.
The PR finally reworks the way we use anyhow to reduce such issues (or
at least make it simpler to bubble them up later in a fix).
On top of that, uses a few more anyhow methods for better readability.
* `.ok_or_else(|| anyhow!("..."))`, `map_err` and other similar error
conversion/option reporting cases are replaced with `context` and
`with_context` calls
* in addition to that, various `anyhow!("failed to do ...")` are
stripped with `.context("Doing ...")` messages instead to remove the
parasitic `failed to` text
* `anyhow::ensure!` is used instead of `if ... { return Err(...); }`
calls
* `anyhow::bail!` is used instead of `return Err(anyhow!(...));`
Release Notes:

This PR removes the code for the "Suggest Edits" functionality from
Assistant1.

This change updates the system prompt to conditionally include
`grep`-related instructions based on whether the `grep` tool is enabled.
Implementation details:
1. Add a `has_tool` handlebars helper.
2. Pass the `model` to all locations where the prompt is built.
3. Use `{{#if has_tool "grep"}}` in the system prompt to gate
`grep`-specific instructions.
Testing:
- Unit tests for the `hasTool` helper.
- Unit tests to verify that `grep`-related instructions are included /
omitted from the prompt as appropriate.
- Manual agent evaluation:
- Setup: Asked the Agent "List all impls of MyTrait in the project"
using a custom "No tools" profile (all tools disabled).
- Before the change: The Agent attempted to call `grep`, encountered an
error, then realized the tool was unavailable.
- After the change: The Agent immediately asked to enable a search tool.
Note: in principle, `grep`/`read_file` tool descriptions alone might be
enough, but to confirm this we need more evaluation. If it turns out to
be true, we'll be able to remove grep-specific instructions from the
system prompt and undo this change.
Release Notes:
- N/A
When using the agent with a project shared by a collaborator, rules file
loading didn't work as it was trying to read from the client's
filesystem
Release Notes:
- Fixed rules file loading when using the agent with a project shared by
a collaborator.
Simplifies the data structures involved in agent context by removing
caching and limiting the use of ContextId:
* `AssistantContext` enum is now like an ID / handle to context that
does not need to be updated. `ContextId` still exists but is only used
for generating unique `ElementId`.
* `ContextStore` has a `IndexMap<ContextSetEntry>`. Only need to keep a
`HashSet<ThreadId>` consistent with it. `ContextSetEntry` is a newtype
wrapper around `AssistantContext` which implements eq / hash on a subset
of fields.
* Thread `Message` directly stores its context.
Fixes the following bugs:
* If a context entry is removed from the strip and added again, it was
reincluded in the next message.
* Clicking file context in the thread that has been removed from the
context strip didn't jump to the file.
* Refresh of directory context didn't reflect added / removed files.
* Deleted directories would remain in the message editor context strip.
* Token counting requests didn't include image context.
* File, directory, and symbol context deduplication relied on
`ProjectPath` for identity, and so didn't handle renames.
* Symbol context line numbers didn't update when shifted
Known bugs (not fixed):
* Deleting a directory causes it to disappear from messages in threads.
Fixing this in a nice way is tricky. One easy fix is to store the
original path and show that on deletion. It's weird that deletion would
cause the name to "revert", though. Another possibility would be to
snapshot context metadata on add (ala `AddedContext`), and keep that
around despite deletion.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Now that we've established a proper eval in tree, this PR is reboots of
our agent loop back to a set of minimal tools and simpler prompts. We
should aim to get this branch feeling subjectively competitive with
what's on main and then merge it, and build from there.
Let's invest in our eval and use it to drive better performance of the
agent loop. How you can help: Pick an example, and then make the outcome
faster or better. It's fine to even use your own subjective judgment, as
our evaluation criteria likely need tuning as well at this point. Focus
on making the agent work better in your own subjective experience first.
Let's focus on simple/practical improvements to make this thing work
better, then determine how we can craft our judgment criteria to lock
those improvements in.

Related to #28490.
- Default prompts from the prompt library are now included as "user
rules" in the system prompt.
- Presence of these user rules is shown at the beginning of the thread
in the UI.
_ Now uses an `Entity<PromptStore>` instead of an `Arc<PromptStore>`.
Motivation for this is emitting a `PromptsUpdatedEvent`.
- Now disallows concurrent reloading of the system prompt. Before this
change it was possible for reloads to race.
Release Notes:
- agent: Added support for including default prompts from the Prompt
Library as "user rules" in the system prompt.

This adds a "workspace-hack" crate, see
[mozilla's](https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/3a265fdc9f33e5946f0ca0a04af73acd7e6d1a39/build/workspace-hack/Cargo.toml#l7)
for a concise explanation of why this is useful. For us in practice this
means that if I were to run all the tests (`cargo nextest r
--workspace`) and then `cargo r`, all the deps from the previous cargo
command will be reused. Before this PR it would rebuild many deps due to
resolving different sets of features for them. For me this frequently
caused long rebuilds when things "should" already be cached.
To avoid manually maintaining our workspace-hack crate, we will use
[cargo hakari](https://docs.rs/cargo-hakari) to update the build files
when there's a necessary change. I've added a step to CI that checks
whether the workspace-hack crate is up to date, and instructs you to
re-run `script/update-workspace-hack` when it fails.
Finally, to make sure that people can still depend on crates in our
workspace without pulling in all the workspace deps, we use a `[patch]`
section following [hakari's
instructions](https://docs.rs/cargo-hakari/0.9.36/cargo_hakari/patch_directive/index.html)
One possible followup task would be making guppy use our
`rust-toolchain.toml` instead of having to duplicate that list in its
config, I opened an issue for that upstream: guppy-rs/guppy#481.
TODO:
- [x] Fix the extension test failure
- [x] Ensure the dev dependencies aren't being unified by Hakari into
the main dependencies
- [x] Ensure that the remote-server binary continues to not depend on
LibSSL
