### 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).

serde 1.0.221 introduced serde_core into the build graph, which should
render explicitly depending on serde_derive for faster build times an
obsolote method.
Besides, I'm not even sure if that worked for us. My hunch is that at
least one of our deps would have `serde` with derive feature enabled..
and then, most of the crates using `serde_derive` explicitly were also
depending on gpui, which depended on `serde`.. thus, we wouldn't have
gained anything from explicit dep on `serde_derive`

This commit introduces the `project_notifications` tool, which
proactively pushes notifications to the agent.
Unlike other tools, `Thread` automatically invokes this tool on every
turn, even when the LLM doesn't ask for it. When notifications are
available, the tool use and results are inserted into the thread,
simulating an LLM tool call.
As with other tools, users can disable `project_notifications` in
Profiles if they do not want them.
Currently, the tool only notifies users about stale files: that is,
files that have been edited by the user while the agent is also working
on them. In the future, notifications may be expanded to include
compiler diagnostics, long-running processes, and more.
Release Notes:
- Added `project_notifications` tool
When the user edits one of the tracked files, we used to notify the
agent by inserting a user message at the end of the thread. This was
causing a few problems:
- The agent would stop doing its work and start reading changed files
- The agent would write something like, "Thank you for letting me know
about these changed files."
This fix contains two parts:
1. Changing the prompt to indicate this is a service message
2. Moving the message higher in the conversation thread
This works, but it slightly hurts caching.
We may consider making these notification messages stick in history,
trading context tokens count for the cache.
This might be related to #30906

1. The `edit_file` tool tended to use `create_or_overwrite` a bit too
often, leading to corruption of long files. This change replaces the
boolean flag with an `EditFileMode` enum, which helps Agent make a more
deliberate choice when overwriting files.
With this change, the pass rate of the new eval increased from 10% to
100%.
2. eval: Added ability to run eval on top of an existing thread. Threads
can now be loaded from JSON files in the `SerializedThread` format,
which makes it easy to use real threads as starting points for
tests/evals.
3. Don't try to restore tool cards when running in headless or eval mode
-- we don't have a window to properly do this.
Release Notes:
- N/A
This is our first eval of the Minimal tool profile. Right now they're
all passing; the value of having it is to catch regressions in the
system prompt (which has special logic in it for the case where no tools
are enabled).

Release Notes:
- Fixed a bug that would prevent the agent from working over SSH.

WIP
- On macOS/Linux, run the command in bash instead of the user's shell
- Try to prevent the agent from running commands that expect interaction
Release Notes:
- Agent Beta: Switched to using `bash` (if available) instead of the
user's shell when calling the terminal tool.
- Agent Beta: Prevented the agent from hanging when trying to run
interactive commands.

This change:
1. Catches attempts to use missing tools. If this happens, we now send
Agent a message listing available tools, after which Agent can
gracefully recover. Prior behavior: thread would stop in a broken state.
Example of a hallucinated call and a message we send back:
2. Adds evals for hallucinated tool use and imagined edits
3. Adds ability to configure a profile name in evals.
Release Notes:
- N/A
I also introduced a new eval to prove the encouragement actually makes a
difference.
Release Notes:
- Improved agent behavior when streaming edits, encouraging it to
editing files as opposed to creating them from scratch
I saw a slice panic (for begin > end) in a debug build of the eval. This
should just be a failed assertion, not a panic that takes out the whole
eval run!
Release Notes:
- N/A
The `grep` tool used to include 4 lines of context around the match, but
the lines included would often be unhelpful. This PR improves this
behavior by using the range of the parent syntax node that contains the
full line(s) matched.
The match headers will also now include symbol breadcrumbs so that the
model can already gather code structure before/without reading files.

&right.commit_sha.to_string(),

This positively impacts the `add_arg_to_trait_method` eval example with
better diff output, fewer tool failures, and reduced total turns.
Note: We have some plans to use a an "elision" approach where we would
combine all matches for a given file, skipping lines between them while
keeping symbol declaration lines. The theory is that this would be map
more closely to the expected input for edits. For now, this PR is a
significant improvement.
Release Notes:
- Agent: Enrich `grep` tool output with syntax information
Interesting things about this example:
* It's a useful, non-trivial change I made with the agent in Tree-sitter
* It runs fast
* It frequently showcases edit file errors
* It occasionally completely errors out due to errors parsing tool call
input JSON
Release Notes:
- N/A
This PR significantly improves the quality of the initial file search
that occurs when the model doesn't yet know the full path to a file it
needs to read/edit.
Previously, the assertions in file_search often failed on main as the
model attempted to guess full file paths. On this branch, it reliably
calls `find_path` (previously `path_search`) before reading files.
After getting the model to find paths first, I noticed it would try
using `grep` instead of `path_search`. This motivated renaming
`path_search` to `find_path` (continuing the analogy to unix commands)
and adding system prompt instructions about proper tool selection.
Note: I know the command is just called `find`, but that seemed too
general.
In my eval runs, the `file_search` example improved from 40% ± 10% to
98% ± 2%. The only assertion I'm seeing occasionally fail is "glob
starts with `**` or project". We can probably add some instructions in
that regard.
