      <description>
        <p>This week's release includes file finder search that matches terms in any order, "Focus Follows Mouse" for editor and terminal panes, and search support in the markdown preview.</p>
        <p>## Shipped by the Zed Guild 🛡️</p>
        <ul>
          <li>--</li>
        </ul>
        <p>*Learn about the [Zed Guild](https://zed.dev/community/zed-guild).*</p>
        <p>## Features</p>
        <p>### AI</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Added a max-width to the thread view for better readability, particularly when the panel is zoomed in. [#52730]</li>
          <li>Added a setting to control whether or not the button to resolve merge conflicts with the agent should be displayed. [#53033]</li>
        </ul>
        <p>### Git</p>
        <p>### Languages</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Added the option for highlights from languages to specify fallbacks. That means that if you have a pattern with the captures <code>@second.capture @first.capture</code>, Zed will first try resolving a highlight from your theme for the code fragment using the first capture, then look for the second capture if no match for the first capture could be found. [#52575]</li>
        </ul>
        <p>### Collaboration</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Added persistence to the <code>Show Occupied Channels</code> collab toggle. [#53029]</li>
        </ul>
        <p>### Other</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Added controls to the settings UI for whether the terminal and agent panels use flexible width. [#52946]</li>
          <li>Improved keyboard navigation for the recent projects modal. [#52866]</li>
          <li>Improved the display of the sign in state in the title bar, by namely showing "Signing in" when in an active process of signing in. [#53255]</li>
          <li>Improved the recent projects picker to show the currently active project in the "This Window" section with a checkmark indicator. [#53302]</li>
          <li>Improved the flexibility of settings profiles by offering a way for profiles to lay atop of Zed defaults, skipping user settings altogether. [#52456]</li>
          <li>Git: Improved how we surface the affordance to resolve codebase-wide merge conflicts with the agent in the UI. [#53033]</li>
        </ul>
        <p>## Bug Fixes</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Fixed navigation within the rules library making it so hovering the sidebar doesn't activate the visible rule. [#53264]</li>
          <li>Agent: Fixed an issue where sometimes you couldn't scroll all the way to the bottom of the thread even though there's visibly more content below the fold. [#53017]</li>
          <li>Git: Fixed display of the main worktree name in the worktree picker. [#53351]</li>
          <li>Fixed a crash when searching archived threads whose titles contain emoji or other non-ASCII characters. [#53114]</li>
          <li>Fixed a tooltip memory leak. [#52853]</li>
          <li>Fixed ESLint not reporting diagnostics in some cases for projects that use flat-config, legacy-config, and monorepo projects across ESLint 8, 9, and 10. [#52886]</li>
          <li>Fixed horizontal rules and blockquotes not being visible in the Markdown preview. [#53223]</li>
          <li>Fixed occasional crashes when viewing a screen share. [#53088]</li>
          <li>Fixed settings text inputs losing user data when blurring focus. [#53036]</li>
          <li>Agent: Fixed image mention labels by persisting the file name after submitting the prompt. [#52995]</li>
          <li>Agent: Fixed directory mentions being incorrectly parsed as files when pasting into prompt editor. [#52995]</li>
          <li>Gemini: Fixed an issue with MCP servers specifying tools with specific schemas. [#53834]</li>
          <li>Fixed terminal tabs losing keyboard focus after switching tabs on Linux X11. [#53618]</li>
          <li>Fixed a panic that could occur in the project symbol search picker. [#53563]</li>
        </ul>
        <p>## Breaking Changes and Notices</p>
        <ul>
          <li>Removed the notification panel from Zed. [#50204]</li>
          <li>Changed <code>zed -n</code> to only open a new window for folders that don't already exist as a workspace root in some window. If the appropriate window already exists, <code>-n</code> will activate it instead. [#53346]</li>
        </ul>
