59eadebe33 fix(runtime)!: move "tohtml" to pack/dist/opt/ #34557
Problem:
The "tohtml" plugin is loaded by default.

Solution:
- Move it to `pack/dist/opt/nvim.tohtml/`, it is an "opt-in" plugin now.
- Document guidelines.
- Also revert the `plugin/` locations of `spellfile.lua` and `net.lua`.
  That idea was not worth the trouble, it will be too much re-education
  for too little gain.

7ea148a1dc docs: use "ev" convention in event-handlers
Problem:
In autocmd examples, using "args" as the event-object name is vague and
may be confused with a user-command.

Solution:
Use "ev" as the conventional event-object name.

45b4bbac28 feat(difftool): replace old "nvim -d" automatically #38057
Problem:
"nvim -d" doesn't leverage nvim.difftool.

Solution:
If nvim.difftool was enabled via :packadd, automatically
handle "nvim -d" on startup.

    nvim -c "packadd nvim.difftool" -d dir1/ dir2/

c1e60f36f3 fix(difftool): don't reset quickfix list when closing quickfix window #38088
Closing the quickfix window previously triggered a WinClosed autocmd
that deleted all difftool autocmds and pushed an empty quickfix list,
making the difftool non-functional. Users who close the quickfix window
to gain screen real estate for viewing diffs had no way to continue
navigating entries.

Remove the qf_win tracking and its associated WinClosed autocmd so that
closing the quickfix window no longer tears down the difftool state.
Closing either diff window still performs full cleanup as before.

The BufWinEnter handler no longer passes with_qf to diff_files, so
navigating entries while the quickfix window is closed reuses the
existing diff layout without forcing a layout rebuild.

Fixes #37388

a88c7962a8 fix(difftool): handle "no differences found" #36671
Add an early exit in diff_dirs to notify the user and return when no
differences are detected between directories.
This prevents Vim:E42: No Errors exception message

d590644620 fix(difftool): silence :only command in setup_layout #36168
Suppresses output from the :only command by passing the { silent = true }
modifier to vim.cmd.only(). This prevents unnecessary messages when
setting up the diff layout.

Closes #36167

aaec3e5b0d fix(difftool): add check for window number when cleaning up layout #36161
- Move autocmd cleanup logic back to setup_layout as WinClosed autocmds
  were triggering for every closed window even when buf scoped, and when
  buf scoped, pattern filter did not work.
- Cleanup when quickfix window is closed as well to prevent state where
  on closing quickfix setup_layout will reset it after with empty
  content because of WinClosed autocmds triggering.

c6113da5a9 fix(difftool): fully resolve symlinks when comparing paths #36147
Fixes issue on mac where it was constantly reloading buffers as paths
were not being normalized and resolved correctly (in relation to buffer
name).

Quickfix entry:
/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue

Buffer name:
/private/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue

/var was synlinked to /private/var and this was not being properly
handled.

Also added lazy redraw to avoid too many redraws when this happens in
future and added test for symlink handling.

c9b74f8b7e fix(difftool): ensure split layout, use systemlist #36145
- Always open the right window to the right, regardless of 'splitright'
  setting, ensuring the left window is always leftmost.
- Use `vim.fn.systemlist` for diffr output to avoid manual splitting.
- Add a test to verify window layout consistency with 'splitright' and
  'nosplitright' options.
- Escape quotes in git difftool example properly.

fec02ae8e4 feat(plugins): nvim.difftool can compare directories #35448
Problem:
Built-in diff mode (nvim -d) does not support directory diffing
as required by git difftool -d. This makes it difficult to compare
entire directories, detect renames, and navigate changes efficiently.

Solution:
Add a DiffTool plugin and command that enables side-by-side diffing of
files and directories in Neovim. The plugin supports rename detection,
highlights changes in the quickfix list, and provides a user command for
easy invocation. This allows proper integration with git difftool -d for
directory comparison.

Example git config:

```ini
[diff]
    tool = nvim_difftool

[difftool "nvim_difftool"]
    cmd = nvim -c "packadd nvim.difftool" -c "DiffTool $LOCAL $REMOTE"
```
