This week's release adds Telescope-style resizable pickers with file and text finder previews (resolving [a request](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/8279) with 860 👍s), including a new search modal that previews results live as you type, opened via the `text finder: toggle` action in the command palette, plus search in the Agent Panel.
