Problem:
- No UI for listing extmarks.
- `:marks` doesn't support cmdline-completion.
Solution:
- Add completion and extmarks support to `:marks`.
- Update `get_buf_local_marks` to include the ":" (prompt-buffer) mark.
Problem:
This functions are most likely never used in the wild.
- They are redundant with `nvim_get_context` + `nvim_load_context`.
- The "context" concept was never fully developed and hasn't gained
traction.
Solution:
Drop these vimscript aliases, they are just extra cruft.
Problem:
Continue separators normalization, and try to keep it at the
nvim <-> external boundary, e.g., `fn.xxx`, `api.xxx`, `:xxx`
Solution:
some key changes
- normalize `$HOME-windows`
- normalize entry points of changing directory
- `nvim_set_current_dir()`, `chdir()`
- normalize the named pipe
- `--listen` arg, `--server` arg, `:restart`
- `serverstart()`, `sockconnect()`, `serverstop()`
- make `expand()` respect 'shellslash' again
- clean up `did_set_shellslash`
- replace `forward_slash` with `TO_SLASH`
- remove obsolete `TMP_PATHSEPSTR`
- remove `slash_adjust` in `do_autocmd_dirchanged`?
- make `fnamemodify()` always return `/` (except when substituting
separators via `:s`, `:gs` ?)
Note:
- these funcs still apply `slash_adjust` on return, as before:
`:pwd`, `chdir()`, `exepath()`, `getcwd()`
- these funcs alwarys return `/`, unlike before the normalization PRs
- `getcompletion()`, `finddir()`, `findfile()`
Also
- clean up code, comments, formatting and tests
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_chdir` to `changedir_func`
- move `TO_SLASH` from `f_bufadd` to `buflist_new`

Problem:
`vim.filetype.match()` needs a cheap way to recognize directory buffers
without doing filesystem stat work.
Solution:
Ensure full buffer names for directories end in a trailing slash. Now
directory buffers can proceed through the normal 'filetype' path.
Note side-effects: session and ShaDa buffer-list restore behavior must
be compatible, so those + corresponding tests must be updated.
Problem:
`vim.fs` does not provide a directory creation helper matching its
filesystem API shape.
Solution:
Add `vim.fs.mkdir()` as a thin wrapper around `vim.fn.mkdir()`, with
`parents` and `mode` options.
Problem: Keys valid in CTRL-X mode are never mapped while insert
completion is active, so <C-N> and <C-P> cannot be remapped
for completion started by complete().
Solution: Do not disable mappings in CTRL_X_EVAL mode. In this mode a
mapping cannot interfere with selecting the completion
method, which is what the no-mapping rule exists for.

Problem: docs say {str} is capped at 256 and longer returns an empty list.
Solution: it's 1024, and {str} plus each candidate are just truncated to

Problem:
This doc on `vim.lsp.completion.get()`:
--- Used by the default LSP |omnicompletion| provider |vim.lsp.omnifunc()|, thus |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|
--- invokes this in LSP-enabled buffers. Use CTRL-Y to select an item from the completion menu.
--- |complete_CTRL-Y|
...makes two wrong claims:
1. "Used by the default LSP omnicompletion provider vim.lsp.omnifunc()"
- `_omnifunc` does not call `M.get()`, it calls the internal `trigger()` directly.
2. "thus |i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O| invokes this in LSP-enabled buffers"
- The two paths use different client sets:
- `M.get()` reads `buf_handles[bufnr].clients` (clients
explicitly registered via `vim.lsp.completion.enable(true, ...)`).
- `_omnifunc` reads `lsp.get_clients({method='textDocument/completion'})` (every
completion client, regardless of `enable()`).
Solution:
Update docs.

Problem: Several Vim9 keywords lack EX_WHOLE and can be shortened in
Vim9 script, inconsistent with endif/enddef/endfor/endwhile/
endtry which already have it. The error from :endd in a
nested function also hardcodes "enddef" instead of reporting
what the user typed. fullcommand("ho") returns "horizontal"
even though :ho is below the documented 3-char minimum.
Solution: Add EX_WHOLE to :class, :def, :endclass, :endinterface,
:endenum, :public and :static. In get_function_body() pass
the user-typed command to the error message. Force :ho to
CMD_SIZE in find_ex_command() so fullcommand() reflects the
modifier minimum. Extend tests and documentation accordingly
(Peter Kenny).

Problem:
2d795face6 added support for tab-local options ('cmdheight')
to `nvim_get_option_value`, but not to:
nvim_get_option_info2()
nvim_set_option_value(…, { tab = … })
gettabwinvar()
Solution:
- Update `options.lua` to model tab-local options. Introduce `kOptScopeTab`.
- Handle tab scope in the options layer so it works for all options APIs.
Note:
- No change to `gettabvar()`. Not sure if needed/wanted.

Problem:
When showing the :connect menu, it is useful to know which servers
are most-recently active. But we don't have a good way to detect that.
Solution:
- Introduce `v:useractive`.
- Include this timestamp in `serverlist({info=true})`.

Problem:
UI tools and orchestration engines need more context than just raw
socket addresses from serverlist(). Without knowing if a server belongs
to the current instance or knowing its PID, UIs cannot display
meaningful options to users.
Solution:
- Added the `info=v:true` option to `serverlist()`.
- When `info` is requested, it implies `peer=true` and returns a list of
dictionaries (defined as `vim.ServerInfo`) with `addr`, `pid` and
`own`.
- Uses an RPC request to `getpid()` across the socket to fetch the
peer's actual process ID.

Problem:
- Builtin "Vimscript" functions (f_xx) are mostly implemented in C.
Partly that's because there is some boilerplate required to call out
to Lua.
- Calls to `vim.fn.foo()` always marshall over the Lua <=> Vimscript
("typval") bridge, even if `fn.foo()` is implemented entirely in Lua:
```
Lua => typval => Object => Lua => Object => typval => Lua.
```
Solution:
Functions declared in eval.lua with `func_lua` are implemented in
entirely in Lua (`_core/vimfn.lua`).
- `gen_eval.lua` wires `func_lua` entries to `lua_wrapper`, which handles
the typval conversion for Vimscript callers (slow path).
- `nlua_call()` detects `func_lua` functions and calls the Lua
implementation directly. This eliminates all conversion overhead for
Lua callers (fast path).
- Validate at build-time that `func`, `func_float`, and `func_lua` are
mutually exclusive.
- Migrate `hostname()` as a toy example, to show the idea.
Problem: Documentation based on patches is outdated.
Solution: Add changes to documentation in a patch.

Problem:
Currently, we recommend always inserting text above prompt-line in
prompt-buffer. This can be done using the `:` mark. However, although
we recommend it this way it can sometimes get confusing how to do it
best.
Solution:
Provide an api to append text to prompt buffer. This is a common
use-case for things using prompt-buffer.
Problem:
The 'android' and 'termux' feature flags have been shipped in the
downstream neovim/neovim-nightly package for 5+ years but were never
properly documented in the downstream patch.
Solution:
Upstream the 'android' and 'termux' feature flags into Neovim as
decoupled feature flags, this enables the 'android' feature in
particular to be available independently of the 'termux' feature
for builds of Neovim against the Android NDK, but not including
the Termux NDK patchset.

Problem:
TUI does not support several standard SGR text attributes:
- dim/faint (SGR 2)
- blink (SGR 5)
- conceal (SGR 8)
- overline (SGR 53)
This means that when a program running in the embedded terminal emits
one of these escape codes, we drop it and don't surface it to the
outer terminal.
Solution:
- Add support for those attributes.
- Also add corresponding flags to `nvim_set_hl` opts, so users can set
these attributes in highlight groups.
- refactor(highlight): widen `HlAttrFlags` from `int16_t` to `int32_t`
Widen the `rgb_ae_attr` and `cterm_ae_attr` fields in HlAttrs from
int16_t to int32_t to make room for new highlight attribute flags,
since there was only one spare bit left.
- The C flag is named HL_CONCEALED to avoid colliding with the
existing HL_CONCEAL in syntax.h (which is a syntax group flag, not
an SGR attribute).
- Also note that libvterm doesn't currently support the dim and overline
attributes, so e.g. `printf '\e[2mThis should be dim\n'` and `printf
'\e[53mThis should have an overline\n'` are still not rendered
correctly when run from the embedded terminal.

Problem: The following strchar functions have incorrect types:
strcharlen() - Currently any. Always returns an integer, including on
error
strcharpart() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid. These inputs are required for vimscript usage. The current
return type is any, even though the function returns an empty string
on error
strchars() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid
Solution: Update the problem types.
Problem: In eval.lua, setcharsearch() has an incorrect param type,
causing Lua_Ls to display an error when a valid table is passed.
While getcharsearch correctly states that it returns a table, the type
is non-specific about the contents.
Solution: Update eval.lua with the correct types.
Add documentation notes explaining that visual marks '< and '> have
different behaviors in getpos() and setpos().
Also fix a small typo.

Problem: Windows: Vim always adds the current directory to search path.

as 'shell'.

Problem: completion: complete_match() Vim script function and
'isexpand' option are not that useful and confusing
(after v9.1.1341)
Solution: Remove function and option and clean up code and documentation
(Girish Palya).
complete_match() and 'isexpand' add no real functionality to Vim. They
duplicate what `strridx()` already does, yet pretend to be part of the
completion system. They have nothing to do with the completion mechanism.
* `f_complete_match()` in `insexpand.c` does not call any completion code.
It’s just a `STRNCMP()` wrapper with fluff logic.
* `'isexpand'` exists only as a proxy argument to that function.
It does nothing on its own and amounts to misuse of a new option.
The following Vim script function can be used to implement the same
functionality:
```vim
func CompleteMatch(triggers, sep=',')
let line = getline('.')->strpart(0, col('.') - 1)
let result = []
for trig in split(a:triggers, a:sep)
let idx = strridx(line, trig)
if l:idx >= 0
call add(result, [idx + 1, trig])
endif
endfor
return result
endfunc
```
