2211953266 fix(api): on_detach consistently before buf_freeall autocmds
Problem: on_detach may be called after buf_freeall and other important things,
plus its textlock restrictions are insufficient. This can cause issues such as
leaks, internal errors and crashes.

Solution: disable buffer updates in buf_freeall, before autocommands (like the
order after #35355 and when do_ecmd reloads a buffer). Don't do so in
free_buffer_stuff; it's not safe to run user code there, and buf_freeall already
runs before then; just free them to avoid leaks if buf_freeall autocommands
registered more for some reason.

Fixes #28084
Fixes #33967
Fixes #35116

285c04e2d0 fix(api,lsp): call on_detach before wiping out the buffer #35355
Problem:
Buffer-updates on_detach callback is invoked before buf_freeall(), which
deletes autocmds of the buffer (via apply_autocmds(EVENT_BUFWIPEOUT,
...)). Due to this, buffer-local autocmds executed in on_detach (e.g.,
LspDetach) are not actually invoked.

Solution:
Call buf_updates_unload() before buf_freeall().

577f9fa1be vim-patch:9.1.1640: Unicode has deprecated some code-points (#35358)
Problem:  Unicode has deprecated some code-points
Solution: Update the digraph tables to align with the Unicode v16
          release (David Friant)

This commit updates the digraphs Left-Pointing Angle Bracket '</'
and Right-Pointing Angle Bracket '/>' to account for the fact that
the old Unicode codepoints for them (2329 and 232A, respectively)
have been deprecated. As per the Miscellaneous Technical code chart
(https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2300.pdf), the old digraphs
have been reassigned to the CJK Left Angle Bracket and Right Angle
Bracket (3008 and 3009) with their declaration moved to the
appropriate block.

This commit also introduces the new digraphs '<[' and ']>' to
represent the Mathematical Left Angle Bracket and Mathematical
Right Angle Bracket (27E8 and 27E9) to replace the deprecated code
points in the Technical block.

Tests have been added and, I believe, the documentation has been
updated accordingly.

218ff601c4 fix(tui): do not emit resize screen sequence after host terminal is resized (#35335)
Some terminals support the CSI 8 t sequence to resize their own window
area. Neovim will emit this sequence when the TUI is resized
programatically, but it should not be emitted when the TUI is resized
because the host terminal was resized, as that results in an infinite
resize loop.

2619a749a5 vim-patch:9.1.1628: fuzzy.c has a few issues
Problem:  fuzzy.c has a few issues
Solution: Use Vims memory management, update style
          (glepnir)

Problem:
- Missing cleanup of lmatchpos lists causing memory leaks
- Missing error handling for list operations
- Use of malloc() instead of Vim's alloc() functions
- Inconsistent C-style comments
- Missing null pointer checks for memory allocation
- Incorrect use of vim_free() for list objects

Solution:
- Add proper cleanup of lmatchpos in done section using list_free()
- Set lmatchpos to NULL after successful transfer to avoid confusion
- Add error handling for list_append_tv() failures
- Replace malloc() with alloc() and add null pointer checks
- Convert C-style comments to C++ style for consistency
- Fix vim_free() calls to use list_free() for list objects

869000e7ce vim-patch:9.1.1627: fuzzy matching can be improved
Problem:  fuzzy-matching can be improved
Solution: Implement a better fuzzy matching algorithm
          (Girish Palya)

Replace fuzzy matching algorithm with improved fzy-based implementation

The
[current](https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/reverse_engineering_sublime_texts_fuzzy_match/)
fuzzy matching algorithm has several accuracy issues:

* It struggles with CamelCase
* It fails to prioritize matches at the beginning of strings, often
  ranking middle matches higher.

After evaluating alternatives (see my comments
[here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3112046897)
and
[here](https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/17531#issuecomment-3121593900)),
I chose to adopt the [fzy](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy) algorithm,
which:

* Resolves the aforementioned issues.
* Performs better.

Implementation details

This version is based on the original fzy
[algorithm](https://github.com/jhawthorn/fzy/blob/master/src/match.c),
with one key enhancement: **multibyte character support**.

* The original implementation supports only ASCII.
* This patch replaces ascii lookup tables with function calls, making it
  compatible with multibyte character sets.
* Core logic (`match_row()` and `match_positions()`) remains faithful to
  the original, but now operates on codepoints rather than single-byte
  characters.

Performance

Tested against a dataset of **90,000 Linux kernel filenames**. Results
(in milliseconds) show a **\~2x performance improvement** over the
current fuzzy matching algorithm.

    var tmp = matchfuzzy(haystack, needle)
    echom $'{needle}' (start->reltime()->reltimefloat() * 1000)

Additional changes

* Removed the "camelcase" option from both matchfuzzy() and
  matchfuzzypos(), as it's now obsolete with the improved algorithm.

50ceac4054 vim-patch:9.1.1625: Autocompletion slow with include- and tag-completion (#35318)
Problem:  Autocompletion slow with include- and tag-completion
Solution: Refactor ins_compl_interrupted() to also check for timeout,
          further refactor code to skip outputting message when
          performing autocompletion (Girish Palya).

Running `vim *` in `vim/src` was slower than expected when
'autocomplete' was enabled. Include-file and tag-file completion
sources were not subject to the timeout check, causing unnecessary
delays.

So apply the timeout check to these sources as well, improving
autocompletion responsiveness, refactor find_pattern_in_path() to take
an additional "silent" argument, to suppress any messages.

c7c3f9fc9c fix(api): fix crash in command preview with % #35228
Problem: parse_cmdline() sets eap->cmdlinep to address of local parameter,
causing invalid memory access when expand_filename() tries to modify it.
This leads to crashes when typing '%' in user commands with preview=true
and complete=file.

Solution: Change parse_cmdline() signature to accept char **cmdline,
allowing cmdlinep to point to caller's variable for safe reallocation.

5e1c35509e refactor(shada): A shada entry is a shada entry
problem: most shada entries use weird `PossiblyFreedShadaEntry` type
solution: delet it

Shada entries can either be allocated by shada.c when reading,
or be constructed to represent the state of the current instance,
with direct references to live instance data to avoid extra allocations.
shada.c needs to carefully only free memory allocated by the first case,
and not free memory owned by other subsystems.

In some part of the code, this is inferred by the context but in others
we are mixing entries from different sources and need to indicate
the provenance by a `can_free_entry` flag. However constantly
frontloading this distinction  in the name of the type and with
extra nesting levels, cause extra cognitive overhead when trying
to understand the code in any other aspects than the specific detail
of avoiding leaks/double frees.

As we always know if the memory is owned or not for any entry, we
can just put `can_free_entry` directly on the ShadaEntry struct.
That only one state is possible in a given context, is indicated
by this neat little syntactical construct called a constant field
initializer.

Problem:
During preview, the `input` still prompts the user to enter something

70bb7999f7 vim-patch:9.1.0748: :keep* commmands are sometimes misidentified as :k
Problem:  The :keep{alt,jumps,marks,patterns} commmands are sometimes
          misidentified as :k.
Solution: Make sure one_letter_cmd() only returns true for :k and not
          other :keep* commands (Doug Kearns).

This currently manifests as missing completion for :keep* commands and
incorrect results from fullcommand().

E.g., fullcommand("keepmarks") returns "k" rather than "keepmarks".

The correct command, however, is executed as command modifiers are
handled specially in do_one_cmd() rather than using find_ex_command().

Fix exists(':k') so that it returns 2 for a full match.

1969f685af vim-patch:9.1.1610: completion: hang or E684 when 'tagfunc' calls complete() (#35243)
Problem:  completion: hang (after 9.1.1471) or E684 (after 9.1.1410)
          when 'tagfunc' calls complete().
Solution: Check if complete() has been called immediately after getting
          matches instead of in the next loop iteration (zeertzjq).

This change actually isn't needed as Nvim doesn't call update_screen()
to redraw pum, but it doesn't hurt either.

b1679f0ab6 fix(tui): do not remove SIGWINCH handler when resize events are enabled (#35221)
When Nvim is started in one terminal emulator,
suspended, and later resumed in a different terminal emulator (as can
happen when using e.g. a multiplexer), the new terminal emulator will
not have all of the same modes enabled that the original terminal
emulator had. This is a problem in particular for in-band resize events
because we were disabling the SIGWINCH signal handler when we determined
that the terminal supported this mode.

However, if the new terminal does not support this mode then the
SIGWINCH handler remains disabled, and Neovim no longer properly
resizes. Instead of disabling the SIGWINCH handler, we track the state
of the resize events mode internally. If the mode is enabled then we
return early from the SIGWINCH handler before performing any ioctls or
other system calls. But if the mode is not enabled we proceed as normal.

53ac2ad20a vim-patch:9.1.1599: :bnext doesn't go to unlisted help buffers (#35216)
Problem:  :bnext doesn't go to unlisted help buffers when cycling
          through help buffers (after 9.1.0557).
Solution: Don't check if a help buffer is listed (zeertzjq).

From <https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/4478#issuecomment-498831057>:

> I think we should fix that, since once you get to a non-help buffer
> all unlisted buffers are skipped, thus you won't encounter another
> help buffer.

This implies that cycling through help buffers should work even if help
buffers are unlisted. Otherwise this part of :bnext isn't really useful,
as :h makes help buffers unlisted by default.

52c2519095 vim-patch:9.1.1600: using diff anchors with hidden buffers fails silently (#35218)
Problem:  diff: using diff anchors with hidden buffers fails silently
Solution: Give specific error message for diff anchors when using hidden
          buffers (Yee Cheng Chin).

Diff anchors currently will fail to parse if a buffer used for diff'ing
is hidden. Previously it would just fail as the code assumes it would
not happen normally, but this is actually possible to do if `closeoff`
and `hideoff` are not set in diffopt. Git's default diff tool "vimdiff3"
also takes advantage of this.

This fix this properly would require the `{address}` parser to be
smarter about whether a particular address relies on window position or
not (e.g. the `'.` address requires an active window, but `'a` or `1234`
do not). Since hidden diff buffers seem relatively niche, just provide a
better error message / documentation for now. This could be improved
later if there's a demand for it.
