I'm ears-deep into a complex full-stack Rust app and I am YEARNING for facet-diff everywhere. Don't have time right now but.. it'll come.

It feels like the weakest point of the Zed agent is that models keep grepping for third-party types and getting zero results because, well... the definition is over in ~/.cargo
This _feels_ like an easy fix

I think I would kill for a tool that is not driven by cargo and is much faster than cargo-check and still catches like 50% of the issues.
I wonder if that's feasible at all or not.

I will ship cookies to the person who improve zed config file auto-completion to include the schema for rust-analyzer configuration.
(we can negotiate other pastries for other language servers)

Anybody know why cargo locks the entire target directory? There's no way it needs to lock the entire directory, right? What's blocking more granular locking?

ok it turns out using "clonetree" on a 95GB target folder takes 30 seconds so I guess I'm gonna do FSKit instead for copy-on-write Rust target folders???

does your tool spawn processes? then LOOK UP the absolute path of the process you're running first. if that fails, log that in great detail. if it succeeds, log the absolute path of the path you found. if the process fails, in the failure log, include the absolute path of the process that failed.
