v1.22.0

This week's release includes BYOK support for GPT-6.1 Sol, on-the-fly model selection for new subagents, automatic subagent compaction, a unified/split toggle for diffs opened from the command line, and dynamically fetched OpenCode models.

## Features

### AI

- Added an optional `model` parameter to `spawn_agent` to choose a model for that spawn instead of using the configured subagent model or inheriting the parent model, with the active model shown in its card. ([#64498](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64498); thanks [itsfuad](https://github.com/itsfuad))

## Breaking Changes and Notices

- Removed Stop controls from external-agent-managed terminals, which are controlled by the agent rather than a local process. ([#64544](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64544))
- Changed Threads Sidebar settings to `agent.threads_sidebar.position`, `agent.threads_sidebar.default_width`, and `agent.threads_sidebar.auto_open`, grouped together in the Settings Editor. Existing settings are migrated automatically. ([#64395](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64395); thanks [joshkent94](https://github.com/joshkent94))
- Changed the shortcut for closing the active dock from `cmd-w` (macOS) or `ctrl-w` (Linux/Windows) to `ctrl-alt-w` on all platforms. ([#64515](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64515))
- Changed `terminal.path_hyperlink_regexes` so a top-level `"..."` entry now inserts inherited regexes. To retain the previous three-character regex, replace that entry with `["..."]`. ([#64552](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64552); thanks [porada](https://github.com/porada))
- Stopped importing VS Code’s `files.watcherInclude` as `file_scan_inclusions`; watch roots are not Git-ignore overrides. ([#64440](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/64440); thanks [porada](https://github.com/porada))
