SchemaLock for Zed

Schema-pinned validation, completion, and hover for Kubernetes-style YAML in the Zed editor, backed by the SchemaLock CDN.

What it does

Registers the schemalock language server for YAML files. In a project rooted at a schemalock.yaml, owned resources (e.g. a VMCluster) get completion, hover, and diagnostics from the schema pinned by the nearest schemalock.yaml. Unowned YAML is transparently proxied to yaml-language-server.

This is a thin client. The actual language server is the schemalock binary; the extension downloads the pinned per-platform build (currently v0.3.2) from the public SchemaLock CDN (cdn.schemalock.dev/bin/<tag>/) on first use and caches it.

Not available: the schema-version status-bar picker shipped in the VS Code and JetBrains clients is not present here — Zed extensions have no custom-UI API.

Requirements

• Network access on first use (to download the binary from cdn.schemalock.dev).
• A supported platform: macOS (arm64/x64), Linux (arm64/x64), Windows (x64).

YAML language-server coexistence

If you see duplicate diagnostics or completions, Zed's built-in YAML language server is running alongside SchemaLock. SchemaLock already proxies to yaml-language-server internally, so make it the sole YAML server in your Zed settings:

{
  "languages": {
    "YAML": {
      "language_servers": ["schemalock", "!yaml-language-server"]
    }
  }
}

Development

rustup target add wasm32-wasip2                 # the target Zed compiles extensions for
cargo build --release --target wasm32-wasip2    # verify it compiles
cargo test -p schemalock-zed-core               # run unit tests

Then in Zed: command palette → zed: install dev extension → select this directory. Zed builds the extension itself for wasm32-wasip2 using a rustup-managed toolchain, so that target must be installed (the command above adds it).
