edit_prediction: Expose allow_data_collection in settings (#51389)
Closes #48394

Moves the data collection preference for Zed's Edit Predictions out of
the internal KV store and into `settings.json` as a proper
`allow_data_collection` setting under `edit_predictions`.

**Migration:** Existing users' choices are preserved. When
`allow_data_collection` is absent from `settings.json`, the resolved
value falls back to the legacy KV entry
(`zed_predict_data_collection_choice`). Once the user toggles the
setting or sets it explicitly, the new setting takes precedence and the
KV entry is ignored.

**Bug fixed:** The original implementation of `toggle_data_collection`
read the raw (unresolved) settings content to determine the current
state. When `allow_data_collection` was absent from `settings.json` but
the KV store held `"true"`, the raw read returned `None → false`,
causing the first toggle click to write `Some(true)` (re-enabling)
instead of `Some(false)` (disabling). The fix reads the resolved
`is_data_collection_enabled()` value before entering the
`update_settings_file` closure.

## Manual testing

**Setting takes effect:**
1. Open settings (`cmd+,`) and add `"allow_data_collection": true` under
`edit_predictions`. Save.
2. Open a file — the data collection indicator in the editor should
reflect the enabled state.
3. Flip to `false` and confirm it updates.

**Toggle correctly disables from KV-enabled state (migration bug fix):**
1. Remove `allow_data_collection` from `settings.json`.
2. Write the legacy KV entry directly:
   ```
   sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zed/db/0-dev/db.sqlite \
"INSERT OR REPLACE INTO kv_store(key,value)
VALUES('zed_predict_data_collection_choice','true');"
   ```
3. Restart Zed. The data collection toggle should show as **enabled**
(reading from KV store).
4. Click the toggle once to disable. `allow_data_collection` should
appear as `false` in `settings.json` — not `true`, which was the pre-fix
behaviour.

**Upsell modal still appears for new users:**
1. Clear both KV keys and restart:
   ```
   sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Zed/db/0-dev/db.sqlite \
"DELETE FROM kv_store WHERE key IN
('zed_predict_data_collection_choice','dismissed-edit-predict-upsell');"
   ```
2. Open any file so the status bar is visible.
3. Click the edit prediction button (bottom-right status bar) — it
should have a muted dot indicator.
4. The upsell modal should appear. Dismissing it should prevent it from
reappearing.

## Release Notes:

- `allow_data_collection` for Zed's Edit Predictions can now be set
explicitly in `settings.json` under `edit_predictions`. Existing
preferences stored in the internal database are preserved as a fallback.

Licensing

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.

Sponsorship

Zed is developed by Zed Industries, Inc., a for-profit company.

If youd like to financially support the project, you can do so via GitHub Sponsors. Sponsorships go directly to Zed Industries and are used as general company revenue. There are no perks or entitlements associated with sponsorship.
