Discussed with @danilo-leal and we're going with the "it's checked in
both places" design!
Closes#40910
Release Notes:
- Recommended AI models now still appear in their normal category in
addition to "Recommended:"
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/37087
This PR adds an icon button to the footer of the message editor enabling
to trigger and interact with the @-mention completions menu with the
mouse. This is a first step towards making other types of context you
can add in Zed's agent panel more discoverable. Next, I want to improve
the discoverability of images and selections, given that you wouldn't
necessarily know they work in Zed without a clear way to see them. But I
think that for now, this is enough to close the issue above, which had
lots of productive comments and discussion!

Release Notes:
- agent: Added an icon button in the agent panel that allows to trigger
the @-mention menu (for adding context) now also with the mouse.
This PR also adds items within the "Add Agent" menu to:
1. Add more agent servers from extensions, opening up the extensions
page with "Agent Servers" already filtered
2. Go to the agent server + ACP docs to learn more about them
I feel like having them there is a nice way to promote this knowledge
from within the product and have users learn more about them.

Release Notes:
- agent: Enabled uninstalled agent servers from the agent panel's
settings view.
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/42312
The issue here was that we assumed that context servers provided by
extensions would always need a config in the settings to be present when
actually the opposite was the case - context servers provided by
extensions are the only context servers that do not need a config to be
in place in order to be available in the UI.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where context servers provided by extensions could not
be uninstalled if they were previously unconfigured.
This PR creates a dedicated function for the agent panel message
editor's placeholder text so that we can wait for the agent
initialization to capture whether they support slash commands or not. On
the one (nice) hand, this allow us to stop matching agents by name and
make this a bit more generic. On the other (bad) hand, the "/ for
commands" bit should take a little second to show up because we can only
know whether an agent supports it after it is initialized.
This is particularly relevant now that we have agents coming from
extensions and for them, we would obviously not be able to match by
name.
Release Notes:
- agent: Fixed agent panel message editor's placeholder text by making
it more accurate as to whether agents support slash commands,
particularly those coming from extensions.
Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/42356
This PR fixes the history view losing focus by simply always displaying
the search editor. I don't think it's too weird to not have it when it's
empty, and it also ends up matching how regular pickers work.
Release Notes:
- agent: Fixed a bug where navigating the agent panel with the keyboard
wouldn't work if you visited the history view and it was empty/had no
entries.
Closes#42178
Now it's consistent with the DateAndTime path which already does
timezone conversion.
- **Future Work**
Happy to tackle the TODO in `time_format.rs` about implementing native
Windows APIs for proper localized formatting (similar to macOS's
`CFDateFormatter`) as a follow-up.
Release Notes:
- agent: Fixed the thread history item timestamp, which was being shown
in GMT instead of in the user's local timezone on Windows.
We can always include symbols, since we either include a ResourceLink to
the symbol (when `PromptCapabilities::embedded_context = false`) or a
Resource (when `PromptCapabilities::embedded_context = true`)
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where symbols could not be included when using specific
ACP agents
Agents running in extensions need to have a root directory of the
extension's dir for installation and authentication, but *not* for the
conversation itself - otherwise the agent is running things like
terminal commands in the wrong dir.
Release Notes:
- Fixed Agent Server extensions having the current working directory of
the extension rather than the project
Now that agent servers are a thing, this is the primary and easiest way
to quickly add more agents to Zed, without touching any settings JSON
file. :)
Release Notes:
- N/A
This makes it possible to do login via things like `cmd: "node", args:
["my-node-file.js", "login"]`
Also, that command will now use Zed's managed `node` instance.
Release Notes:
- ACP extensions can now run terminal login commands using relative
paths
This PR changes the loading/generating indicator when in the "waiting
for tool call confirmation" state so that's a bit more visible and
discernible as needing your attention, as opposed to a regular
generating state.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/88adbf97-20fb-49c4-9c77-b0a3a22aa14e"
/>
Release Notes:
- agent: Improved the "waiting for confirmation" state visibility so
that you more rapidly know the agent is waiting for you to act.
Mostly just removing "thread" from all external agent menu items; I
think we can do without it and it already becomes much better/cleaner.
Release Notes:
- N/A
As discussed with @benbrandt and @mikayla-maki:
* We now tell ACP clients we support the nonstandard `terminal-auth`
`_meta` field for terminal-based authentication
* In the future, we anticipate ACP itself supporting *some* form of
terminal-based authentication, but that hasn't been designed yet or gone
through the RFD process
* For now, this unblocks terminal-based auth
Release Notes:
- Added experimental terminal-based authentication to ACP support
This has been possible in the inline assistant for ages now and maybe
you didn't know because we didn't say anything about it! This PR fixes
that by including that you can @-mention context on it the same you can
in the agent panel.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Making the profile management modal accessible through the agent panel
additional options menu as well. And in the process, adjusting the menu
keybinding that was getting conflicted with something else.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR makes the agent panel's configuration view use the icon from an
external agent that comes directly from the extension, as well as some
other clean ups.
Release Notes:
- N/A
Noticed this whilst testing the Docker debugger. I randomly scrolled the
console off screen and was confused briefly as to why this was the case.
Release Notes:
- The debugger query console will no longer needlessly overscroll.
The button could not be clicked whenever the editor was currently not
focused. This PR fixes this and also registers the action on a more
global level, similar to how this is done for all the other agent
actions.
Release Notes:
- Fixed an issue where the `Expand message editor` button would not work
in agent threads if the message editor was not focused.
Escape special characters (&, <, >, ", ') in the title attribute of
TextThreadContext's XML output to prevent malformed XML when titles
contain these characters.
Resolves TODO at context.rs:629

This PR makes it clearer that you can click on the file path to open the
corresponding file in the agent panel's "edit bar", which is the element
that shows up in the panel as soon as agent-made edits happen.
Release Notes:
- agent panel: Improved the "go to file" affordance in the edit bar.
When we introduced the ACP-based agent panel, the condition that the
"review" | "reject" | "keep" buttons observed to be displayed got
mismatched between the panel and the pane (when in the single file
review scenario). In the panel, the buttons appear as soon as there are
changed buffers, whereas in the pane, they appear when response
generation is done.
I believe that making them appear at the same time, observing the same
condition, is the desired behavior. Thus, I think the panel behavior is
more correct, because there are loads of times where agent response
generation isn't technically done (e.g., when there's a command waiting
for permission to be run) but the _file edit_ has already been performed
and is in a good state to be already accepted or rejected.
So, this is what this PR is doing; effectively removing the "generating"
state from the agent diff, and switching to `EditorState::Reviewing`
when there are changed buffers.
Release Notes:
- Improved agent edit single file reviews by making the "reject" and
"accept" buttons appear at the same time.
Release Notes:
- N/A

Previously, agent markdown rendering used hardcoded font sizes
(TextSize::Default and TextSize::Small) which ignored the
agent_ui_font_size and agent_buffer_font_size settings. This updates the
markdown style to respect these settings.
This pull request adds support for customizing the font size of code
blocks in agent responses, making it possible to set a distinct font
size for code within the agent panel. The changes ensure that if the new
setting is not specified, the font size will fall back to the agent UI
font size, maintaining consistent appearance.
(I am a frontend developer without any Rust knowledge so this is
co-authored with Claude Code)
**Theme settings extension:**
* Added a new `agent_buffer_code_font_size` setting to
`ThemeSettingsContent`, `ThemeSettings`, and the default settings JSON,
allowing users to specify the font size for code blocks in agent
responses.

* Updated the VSCode import logic to recognize and import the new
`agent_buffer_code_font_size` setting.
**Font size application in agent UI:**
* Modified the agent UI rendering logic in `thread_view.rs` to use the
new `agent_buffer_code_font_size` for code blocks, and to fall back to
the agent UI font size if unset.

* Implemented a helper method in `ThemeSettings` to retrieve the code
block font size, with fallback logic to ensure a value is always used.
* Updated the settings application logic to propagate the new code block
font size setting throughout the theme system.

Currently Zed only displays agent notifications (e.g. when the agent
completes a task) if the user has switched apps and Zed is not in the
foreground. This adds PR supports the scenario where the agent finishes
a long-running task and the user is busy coding within Zed on something
else.
Releases Note:
- If agent notifications are turned on, they will now also be displayed
when the agent panel is hidden, in complement to them showing when the
Zed window is in the background.

Closes#41458
Dynamically position mode selector tooltip to prevent clipping.
Position tooltip on the right when panel is docked left, otherwise on
the left. This ensures the tooltip remains visible regardless of panel
position.
**Note:** The tooltip currently vertically aligns with the bottom of the
menu rather than individual items. Would be great if it can be aligned
with the option it explains. But this doesn't seem trivial to me to
implement and not sure if it's important enough atm?

Release Notes:
- Improved the agent panel's mode selector by preventing it to go
off-screen in case the panel is docked to the left.
Update the behavior of the `zed_actions::agent::AddSelectionToThread`
action so that, after the selecitons are added to the current thread,
the editor automatically scrolls to the cursor's position, fixing an
issue where the inserted selection's UI component could wrap the cursor
to the next line below, leaving it outside the viewable area.
Closes#39694
Release Notes:
- Improved the `agent: add selection to thread` action so as to
automatically scroll to the cursor's position after selections are
inserted
Closes#41125
Release Notes:
- Fixed `SwitchToHelixNormalMode` to keep selection
- Added default keybinds for `SwitchToHelixNormalMode` when in Helix
mode
