Problem: Reconfiguring a float window applies the global 'winborder'.
Solution:
- Ignore 'winborder' when reconfiguring a float window.
- Still apply 'winborder' when converting a split to a float window.
Problem:
There is currently no global option to define the default border style for floating windows. This leads to repetitive code when developers need consistent styling across multiple floating windows.
Solution:
Introduce a global option winborder to specify the default border style for floating windows. When a floating window is created without explicitly specifying a border style, the value of the winborder option will be used. This simplifies configuration and ensures consistency in floating window appearance.

Always allow the following four events to be nested, as they may contain
important information, and are triggered on the event loop, which may be
processed by a blocking call inside another autocommand.
- ChanInfo
- ChanOpen
- TermRequest
- TermResponse
There are some other events that are triggered on the event loop, but
they are mostly triggered by user actions in a UI client, and therefore
not very likely to happen during another autocommand, so leave them
unchanged for now.
When a plugin registers a TermRequest handler there is currently no way
for the handler to know where the terminal's cursor position was when
the sequence was received. This is often useful information, e.g. for
OSC 133 sequences which are used to annotate shell prompts.
Modify the event data for the TermRequest autocommand to be a table
instead of just a string. The "sequence" field of the table contains the
sequence string and the "cursor" field contains the cursor
position when the sequence was received.
To maintain consistency between TermRequest and TermResponse (and to
future proof the latter), TermResponse's event data is also updated to
be a table with a "sequence" field.
BREAKING CHANGE: event data for TermRequest and TermResponse is now a
table
Problem:
Descriptions are somewhat vague. nvim_set_current_line modifies contents
but nvim_set_current_buf does not, etc.
Solution:
- Make it clear that these functions accept or return a winid/tabid by
linking to that concept in help.
- Only these few files use the term "handles", so replace them with the
more conventional terminology.
- Add a new help section for tab-ID. This concept is unique to neovim
because vim exposes tabnr, but not tab handles. This section is
modelled after `:h winid`.
Problem: When setting an option, mapping etc. from Lua without -V1, the
script ID is set to SID_LUA even if there already is a script
ID assigned by :source.
Solution: Don't set script ID to SID_LUA if it is already a Lua script.
Also add _editor.lua to ignorelist to make script context more
useful when using vim.cmd().
TSHighlighter now places marks for conceal_lines metadata. A new
internal decor provider callback _on_conceal_line was added that
instructs the highlighter to place conceal_lines marks whenever the
editor needs to know whether a line is concealed. The bundled markdown
queries use conceal_lines metadata to conceal code block fence lines.
Problem: When calling an API from Vimscript to set an option, mapping,
etc., :verbose shows that it's set from an API client.
Solution: Don't override current_sctx.sc_sid when calling an API from
Vimscript. Also fix the inverse case where API channel id is
not set when calling an API from RPC. Move channel id into
sctx_T to make saving and restoring easier.

Problem: setting title and/or footer without explicitly setting border
shows "title/footer/ requires border to be set" error.
At the same time, explicitly setting `border = "none"` (which is
default) shows expected no-border-no-title-no-footer window without
error.
Solution: allow setting title/footer without explicitly setting border.
Problem: `get_option_value` returns caller owned `Object`s but the
corresponding C apis do not marked `FUNC_API_RET_ALLOC` properly.
Solution: add `FUNC_API_RET_ALLOC` to the C apis.
Problem:
`AucmdExecutable` adds 2 layers of indirection. Although formalizing
a `union` is good practice for shared interfaces, this struct is mainly
for `autocmd_register` which is internal to this module.
Solution:
- Store the cmd/fn fields directly on the `AutoCmd` struct.
- Drop `AucmdExecutable` and related structures.
Problem:
`nvim_win_set_config` cannot set the title and footer independently.
When only one is given, the other is reset to the default of "left".
Solution:
Reuse existing title/footer value if not provided.
Problem: Right aligned virtual text can cover up buffer text if virtual
text is too long
Solution: An additional option for `virt_text_pos` called
`eol_right_align` has been added to truncate virtual text if it would
have otherwise covered up buffer text. This ensures the virtual text
extends no further left than EOL.
Problem: Combined highlighting was not applied to nvim_eval_statusline(),
and 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Solution: Add an additional `groups` element to the return value of
`nvim_eval_statusline()->highlights`. This is an array of stacked
highlight groups (highest priority last). Also resolve combined
highlights for the 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Expose/synchronize some drawline.c logic that is now mimicked in
three different places.
This has been possible in the "backend" for a while but
API was missing.
Followup: we will need a `details2=true` mode for `nvim_get_hl_id_by_name`
to return information in a way forward compatible with even further
enhancements.
This was kept for a while as it was a useful short hand and initially
matched what highlights what actually properly implemented. But now
|vim.hl.range()| is a better high-level shorthand with full support for
native multi-line ranges.
Problem: Anchoring a floating window to the tabline and laststatus is
cumbersome; requiring autocommands and looping over all
windows/tabpages.
Solution: Add new "tabline" and "laststatus" options to the `relative`
field of nvim_open_win() to place a window relative to.
Problem:
The `nvim_notify` API (note: unrelated to `vim.notify()` Lua API) was
not given any real motivation in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13843
There are, and were, idiomatic and ergonomic alternatives already.
Solution:
Deprecate `nvim_notify`.
Problem:
Deprecated API `nvim_get_option()` doesn't validate the option name,
which leads to an assertion failure.
Solution:
Validate option name in `nvim_get_option()`.

Problem: We want to deprecate `nvim_err_write(ln)()` but there is no
obvious replacement (from Lua). Meanwhile we already have
`nvim_echo()` with an `opts` argument.
Solution: Add `err` argument to `nvim_echo()` that directly maps to
`:echoerr`.
Problem: incorrect return type doc causes luals `Annotations specify that at most 0 return value(s) are required, found 1 returned here instead.` diagnosis
Solution: correct return type doc
Problem:
If completeopt does not include "popup" flag, nvim__complete_set still
auto-creates a floating preview window.
Solution:
Fail if completeopt does not include the "popup" flag.
