code

The editor's code panel: the file the Files panel opens on a double-click, in a code editor with line numbers, folding for Luau, syntax colour from modules.highlight, the LSP's diagnostics under the lines they name, and a Save button. The same panel shows a diff (openDiff) — the change an agent made, hunk by hunk with both line-number gutters.

Save writes the file's source in play as in edit: the saved text reloads into the running play session and is still the file's text after Stop.

The code panel is the user's own editor. An agent that wants the user to read a file opens it in a panel of its own with the show toolbox: show.file for a file, folder or asset, show.text for text the agent wrote.

Reading a symbol

In a Luau file the pointer over an identifier shows what it is where it stands. lsp.symbolAt(path, line, col, name, chain) runs the same typed pass a check of the file runs — the API surface, the globals the file's context injects, and the module every require names — so a local bound to a required module shows that module's exports, and a value reached through it shows the type the module declared. The hover leads with a header in code: function entity.spawnSynced(name: string) -> entityProxy, local total: number, (parameter) n: number, (field) crate.component: { 12 members }, namespace entity: { 41 members }, module Highlight: { 6 members }. Under it comes the documentation — the comment block above a declaration the file makes, the header comment of a required module, or the API page filed under the access path — then the parameters it documents, its examples as code, then a table's members by name. A word in a comment or a string is no reference, so nothing shows for it, and a file that is not Luau shows nothing at all.

A secondary click on an identifier opens a menu on it:

• Go to Definition puts the caret on the declaring line and scrolls it into view (revealLine + revealEpoch on the editor), when the file introduced the name; an API global has no line to go to and the item is dimmed.
• Inspect puts the hover's header on the toolbar's status line.

Exports

The panel record carries openFile(path), openDiff(title, files), pathHealth(path) and healthEpoch() for the panels that reach it through edui.shell.panel("code").
