Problem:
Some LSPs cause the following completion error (reformatted slightly):
Error executing vim.schedule lua callback:
.../runtime/lua/vim/lsp/completion.lua:373
attempt to index field 'range' (a nil value)
This is because an internal function assumes edits are either missing
or of type `TextEdit`, but there's a third [possibility][0] that's not
handled: the `InsertReplaceEdit`.
This was previously reported in at least two issues:
- https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/33142
- https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/33224
Solution:
Don't assume the edit is a `TextEdit`. This implicitly handles
`InsertReplaceEdit`s.
Also, add a test case for this, which previously caused an error.

Problem:
Stopping a language server and then calling vim.lsp.start() with the same name/root will return the old language server that's in the middle of shutting down. vim.lsp.start() won't return a new server until the old process has terminated.
Solution:
Introducing a client._is_stopping field that tracks the shutdown phase, preventing the client from being reused.
(cherry picked from commit 0862c1036a)
problem: Error notifications from LSP responses were difficult to read due to
inconsistent formatting and missing critical information like client name and error codes.
solution: Implemented a more structured error notification format using pipe separators to
clearly display client name, error code (when available), and error message.

**Problem:** For multiline diagnostics, the end column was improperly
calculated by checking the byte index of the character position on the
*start* line.
**Solution:** Calculate the byte index for end_col using the *end* line.

- sort fields alphabetically.
- in the `vim.lsp.Client` docs, reference `vim.lsp.ClientConfig` instead
of duplicating its docs.
- cleanup lots of redundant-yet-drifted field docs.
Problem:
In cases when the (in-process) LSP server responds to the request
immediately and calls `notify_reply_callback` the request will still be
marked as pending, because the code assumes that the response will occur
asynchronously. Then the request will be pending forever, because it was
already set as "completed" before we even set it as "pending".
A workaround is to wrap `notify_replay_callback` in `vim.shedule` ([like
so](https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/24338#issuecomment-2809568617)]
but that seems counterintuitive.
Solution:
Handle this case in Client:request().
(cherry picked from commit 8315697449)
Problem:
Some language servers do not work properly without a workspace folder.
Solution:
Add `workspace_required`, which skips starting the lsp client if no
workspace folder is found.

Problem:
`vim.lsp.buf.[implementation|definition|...]({ reuse_win = true })` does not
jump cursor to existing window if buffer is already open.
Steps to reproduce:
1. `nvim repro.lua`
2. Insert anything that lsp can read to open the library definition/implementation, e.g., `vim.keymap.set`
3. open `repro.lua` buffer and the library buffer side by side.
4. type `gd` over `set` to jump to the library definition.
The open buffer is scrolled to the target line, but cursor does not jump.
Solution:
Call nvim_set_current_win if necessary.
(cherry picked from commit 6926fc1615)
Problem: vim.lsp.buf.hover allows a bold border size which hasn't been
defined
Solution: Define the bold border size for vim.lsp.buf.hover
(cherry picked from commit f068386c9f)
Problem:
Nvim needlessly requests inlay_hints even if they are disabled for a given buffer.
Solution:
Add the missing `enabled` check in `on_refresh`.
Rest of the code has this check already so that's the only needed one to fix this.
(cherry picked from commit 49756ebc70)
Problem
When calling `:checkhealth vim.lsp` after the user has enabled a language
server with `vim.lsp.enable` that has no configuration a runtime error
is hit because the code expects for a configuration to exist.
Solution:
Check if a configuration was returned before parsing it, if it isn't
returned then warn the user that the server has been enabled but a
configuration was not found.
(cherry picked from commit 5554fcc286)
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.

Problem: `trigger` is a custom word not yet used in APIs.
Solution: Use `get` instead because the main effect is that the
completion candidates will be collected (and shown by default,
but follow-up commits are planned to add an `on_result` callback
that allows more general handling).

Problem: Augroup to close lsp preview hover window is not cleared after
the window is closed because of unmatched group name.
Solution: Delete the augroup before closing the preview window with
correct group name.
Problem: The current implementation creates a unique autocommand group for each floating preview window, which is inefficient and can lead to numerous autocommand groups.
Solution: Use a single shared autocommand group with improved window validation to properly clean up LSP floating preview windows.
Problem:
vim.lsp.completion with "autotrigger" enabled, does not send
completion context, even though it has all the necessary info.
Solution:
Include the context for "autotrigger".
trigger() also optionally accepts context when manually invoked.
Problem: After 47aaddfa the max_height option is no longer respected.
Hover documentation and Signature help windows take up the
entire text height.
Solution: Compare to window's current height and only modify the height
if it would reduce the height, not enlarge it.
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: Height of a (markdown) `vim.lsp.util.open_floating_preview()`
window can be reduced to account for concealed lines (after #31324).
Solution: Set the window height to the text height of the preview window.
Set 'concealcursor' to avoid unconcealing the cursorline when
entering the hover window.
Problem:
After https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/32377 selecting snippets
provided by luals inserted the multi-line text before accepting the
candidates. That's inconsistent with servers who provide `textEdit`
instead of `insertText` and having lines shift up/down while cycling
through the completion candidates is a bit irritating.
Solution:
Use the logic used for `textEdit` snippets also for `insertText`
`command` was already resolved via a `completionItem/resolve` request
but only if `additionalTextEdits` were also present, and the
`resolveSupport` capability wasn't listed.
Closes https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/32406
