This pull request is a significant overhaul of the assistant panel,
which now uses a simple `Buffer` as opposed to a `MultiBuffer` to show
messages. Specifically, we track the start of each message with an
anchor located right after the newline (or `Anchor::MIN` for the first
message). When the anchor becomes invalid (that is, the newline is
deleted), we merge the message with the preceding ones. Crucially,
messages don't actually get deleted so that, if the newline anchor
becomes valid again (such as when undoing/redoing), we can restore the
messages as well.
As part of this overhaul, we are also improving the scrolling behavior
to maintain the viewport stable only when editing or moving the cursor,
but otherwise leave the scroll position unchanged when manually
scrolling up or down.
Note that with these changes, we are limiting access to the assistant to
users on preview (and dev), as we want to polish the behavior a little
more before shipping to the general public. Users on stable will still
be able to see the default settings/keybindings of the assistant, but I
think that's okay, as they won't be able to do anything with them.
Release Notes:
- Added support for undo/redo in the assistant (preview-only)
- Improved the scrolling behavior of the assistant when it was
generating responses. Now Zed will keep the viewport stable only when
editing or moving the cursor, but otherwise leave the scroll position
unchanged when manually scrolling up or down (preview-only)
- Changed the icon of the assistant panel (preview-only)
**Note for @JosephTLyons: given that we're feature flagging this, let's
make sure things on stable look reasonable and work correctly. Things to
look out for: ensure a stock installation works, changing the settings
on stable works, changing the keybinding on stable works.**
Each message is represented as a multibuffer excerpt to allow for
fluid editing of the conversation transcript.
