Fixes#23347
Release Notes:
- Implemented the `zed --wait` flag so that it works when opening a
directory. The command will block until the window is closed.
Closes#40067
Release Notes:
- The `--user-data-dir` flag now works on Windows and Linux, as well as
macOS if you pass `--foreground`.

This fixes running `zed <path>` inside nixos wsl instances. We're
copying the approach used elsewhere which is to try using `--exec`
first, and if that fails use an actual shell which should cover the
nixos case because it only puts binaries on your PATH inside the
`/etc/profile` script which is sourced on shell startup.

Changes are made to `parse_path_with_position`:
we try to get the canonical, existing parts of
a path, then append the non-existing parts.
Closes#4441
Release Notes:
- Added the possibility to open a non-existing path using `zed` CLI
```
zed path/to/non/existing/file.txt

Thread stacks in rust by default have 2 megabytes of stack which for
sumtrees (or ropes in this case) can easily be exceeded depending on the
workload.
Release Notes:
- Fixed stack overflows when constructing large ropes
We only use it a handful of times and the default amount of threads
(logical cpu core number) its spawns is overkill for this. This also
gives the threads names oppose to being labeled `<unknown>`

[discussion](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/37983)
Release Notes:
- Added: `--reuse` (`-r`) CLI flag to replace the workspace in an
existing window instead of opening a new one
This PR adds a new `--reuse` (`-r`) CLI flag that allows users to
replace the workspace in an existing Zed window instead of opening a new
one or adding files to the current workspace.
### What it does
The `--reuse` flag finds an available local workspace window and
replaces its workspace with the newly specified paths. This provides a
third workspace opening mode alongside the existing `--add` and `--new`
flags.
### Implementation Details
- **CLI Flag**: Added `--reuse` (`-r`) flag with proper mutual exclusion
with `--add` and `--new`
- **Window Replacement**: Uses the existing `replace_window` option in
`workspace::OpenOptions`
- **Window Selection**: Reuses the first available local workspace
window
- **Fallback Behavior**: When no existing windows are found, creates a
new window
- **Test Coverage**: Added comprehensive test for the reuse
functionality
### Behavior
- `zed -r file.txt` - Replaces the workspace in an available window with
`file.txt`
- If no windows are open, creates a new window (same as default
behavior)
- Mutually exclusive with `-a/--add` and `-n/--new` flags
- Works with multiple files and directories
### Files Changed
- `crates/cli/src/cli.rs` - Added `reuse` field to `CliRequest::Open`
- `crates/cli/src/main.rs` - Added CLI argument definition and parsing
- `crates/zed/src/zed/open_listener.rs` - Implemented reuse logic and
added tests
- `crates/zed/src/zed/windows_only_instance.rs` - Updated for Windows
compatibility
### Testing
- ✅ Unit tests pass
- ✅ Manual testing confirms expected behavior:
- Works when no windows are open
- Replaces workspace in existing window
- Maintains compatibility with existing `-a` and `-n` flags
- Proper help text display
## Manual testing
#### In this first video we do a couple of tests:
* **1**: What happens if we use the -r flag when there are no windows
open?
- works as expected. It opens the files in a new window.
* **2**: Does it work as expected if there is already a window open.
Does it overrides the workspace?
- yes it does. When opening a different file it overrides the current
window instead of creating a new one.
* **3**: Does the -n flag still works as expected?
- yes, it creates the project in a new window
* **4**: What about the -a flag?
- yes, on the last accessed page
* **5**: we do the replace command. It overrides the first opened
window, do we want this behavior?
- It is good enough that it overrides one of the opened windows with the
new project. It still makes the user automatically go to the window with
the specified files
* **6**: we use the -r command again replacing the workspace with a new
one.
- this indeed worked as expected

#### In here the we check how the --help flag now displays the new
command. (Description was later updated)

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#34393
Currently, we’re using `zed.exe --askpass` kind of like an `nc`
substitute, it prints out the SSH password to stdout with something like
`println!("user-pwd")`. `ssh.exe` then reads the password from stdout so
it can establish the connection.
The problem is that in release builds we set `subsystem=windows` to
avoid Windows spawning a black console window by default. The side
effect is that `zed.exe` no longer has a stdout, so `ssh.exe` can’t read
the password.
Through testing, I confirmed that neither allocating a new console for
`zed.exe` nor attaching it to the parent process’s stdout resolves the
issue. As a result, this PR updates the implementation to use `cli.exe
--askpass` instead.

- [ ] Check that the `cli` path is correct on macOS

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.

This PR contains a set of changes for improving FreeBSD support (#15309,
#29550) and is a kind of follow up to the PR #20480 which added an
initial support for FreeBSD.
A summary of changes is as follows:
- Add some more freebsd conditionals which seem missing in the previous
PR.
- Implement `anonymous_fd()` and `current_path()` functions for FreeBSD.
- Improve detection of FreeBSD in telemetry and GPU detection.
- Temporarily disable LiveKit/WebRTC support to make build succeed.
- Remove support for flatpak since it is Linux-only packaging format.
Adding `RUSTFLAGS="-C link-dead-code"` does not seem necessary anymore.
It builds fine without the flag.
Known issues:
- Integrated terminal is painfully laggy and virtually unusable in my
environment. This might be specific to my setup.
- I cannot input Japanese using IME. When I type characters, they appear
on the screen. But when I hit return key, they disappears. Seems the
same issue as #15409.
My environment is MATE desktop on X11 on FreeBSD 14.2 on Intel Core
i5-7260U integrated graphics.
P.S. For those who might be interested, a work-in-progress FreeBSD port
and binary packages are available at
https://github.com/tagattie/FreeBSD-Zed

In #31331, I made a change that prevents Zed from running with root

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!(...));`

This PR introduces support for a `--user-data-dir` CLI flag to override
Zed's data directory and proposes renaming `support_dir` to `data_dir`
for better cross-platform clarity. It builds on the discussion in #25349
about custom data directories, aiming to provide a flexible
cross-platform solution.
### Changes
The PR is split into two commits:
1. **[feat(cli): add --user-data-dir to override data
directory](28e8889105)**
2. **[refactor(paths): rename support_dir to data_dir for cross-platform
clarity](affd2fc606)**
### Context
Inspired by the need for custom data directories discussed in #25349,
this PR provides an immediate implementation in the first commit, while
the second commit suggests a naming improvement for broader appeal.
@mikayla-maki, I’d appreciate your feedback, especially on the rename
proposal, given your involvement in the original discussion!
### Testing
- `cargo build `
- `./target/debug/zed --user-data-dir ~/custom-data-dir`
Release Notes:
- Added --user-data-dir CLI flag

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
