Problem: Separation markers (%=) are ignored within item groups. This
lead to a regression when the C implementation of the statusline was
replaced with a default expression. When the user configured a custom
ruler expression with a %= and used the overloaded item group syntax to
set the ruler width, the separation marker worked in the ruler, but not
when the ruler was incorporated into the statusline where the item group
syntax was interpreted in the usual way.
Solution: Analogously to top-level behaviour, expand separation markers
evenly within item groups until `minwid` is reached (if set).

Problem: The recursion offset into the static `stl_items` was not taken
into account when adjusting the item count after truncation.
Steps to reproduce: first prepare `stl_items`:
set stl=%{%repeat('%#Error#',10)%}
then watch how the Error highlight leaks into the recursive call:
set stl=%l%l%l%{%nvim_eval_statusline('test%l%<',{'maxwidth':3,'highlights':1}).highlights%}

* fix(statusline): consistent truncation at multicell character
Problem 1: truncation of item groups at multicell character didn't take
into account that minwid can be specified as a negative number.
Problem 2: after truncation at top-level from the right at multicell
character, the returned width was always `maxwidth`, even though the
actual width was reduced. In vim, this can be observed as a statusline
that is not fully drawn until the edge of the screen:
vim --clean +"set ls=2 stl=%{%repeat('x',&columns-2)%}🙂x%<"
Problem 3: after truncation at top-level from the left at multicell
character, the resulting gap to reach `maxwidth` again was filled with
fillchars, but then the final NUL was not set correctly.
This can be seen in the following example, where the statuscolumn spills
into the editing area starting from line 10:
nvim --clean +"set number stc=%<x🙂%{repeat('x',43)}%l" +"norm yy10p"
Solution: fix the small errors and, at top-level, consistently reduce
the size instead of compensating with fillchars. In the case of the
statusline and the winbar, the remaining place is filled with the
configured fillchars in `win_redr_custom`, after `build_stl_str_hl` has
returned. In all other cases (title, icon, statuscol, tabline, ruler),
there seems to be no point in adding additional spaces at the end.
* feat(statusline)!: scope %< to item groups
Problem:
Previously, item groups were only truncated at the beginning, which is
often not desired. In the example
%.15(path: %f%)
the group's title/label is truncated away:
<th/to/file.txt
Truncation markers (%<) in item groups were processed at the top-level
in the end, which can be confusing. Only the first %< is used for the
whole string, and it is used even if the containing item group is
hidden. Additionally, in the case of hidden item groups, the marker's
position was not adapted. For example,
%(hidden%<%)%f
had the effect of truncating the path somewhere in the middle:
/path/<file.txt
Solution:
Make truncation consistent with top-level behaviour, which has a better
default of truncating at the first `Normal` item, i.e.
path: <file.txt
and allows for fine-grained control with truncation markers (%<). E.g.
%.15(path: %f%<%)
now yields
path: /path/to>
The original behaviour can be restored like so:
%.15(%<path: %f%)
BREAKING CHANGE: %< is no longer processed at top-level
- the default truncation behaviour has changed: now at first item
- truncation markers inside item groups don't affect truncation outside
of the item group anymore
- several truncation markers can now have an effect when separated with
item groups, whereas previously only the first one globally had

Problem: An autocommand that redraws may do so while curwin is
temporarily set for the autocommand scope. This can result in
flickering or unexpected state with UI components (statusline,
winbar, decor providers...) that depend on the current window.
Current workaround for statusline and winbar specifically
delays the redraw, which can itself be unexpected for the
autocommand.
Solution: If redrawing happens with a temporary autocmd current window,
temporarily restore the current window while redrawing.
Problem: `nvim_exec_autocmds({buf=...})` may temporarily switch curwin/curbuf
through `aucmd_prepbuf()`. Requested statuslines/winbars before
`aucmd_restbuf()` may erroneously see the target window as current.
Solution: Track `aucmd_prepbuf()` window-switch depth and leave statusline/winbar
redraws marked dirty until the original window is restored.
Problem:
Since 5181984d, `nvim_exec_autocmds({buf=…})` temporarily sets the
`buf`-window as current-window, and its statusline renders as
a "current-window statusline", regardless of the user's actual
current-window.
Solution:
Mark the statusline for redraw in `aucmd_restbuf()`, so it is redrawn
correctly after the event.

Problem: Cmdline ruler may be drawn for autocommand window.
Solution: Check that the current window is not an autocommand window
when deciding whether to draw the ruler.
Problem: When the 'ruler' is in the last line of the screen, it takes
local highlight definitions of the current window, tripping an
assert (since c1648cf8).
Solution: Don't use window-local highlight definitions when the ruler is
not part of a statusline.

Problem: When 'ruler' is in last line of the screen and the current
floating window is closed, the ruler is not cleared.
Solution: When closing the current floating window, redraw the cmdline
if that contained, and will no longer contain the 'ruler'.
Problem:
- Progress-events are filtered by "source". But "source" is not required by nvim_echo.
- Without "++nested" (force=false), nvim_echo in an event-handler does not trigger Progress events.
- vim.health does not declare a "source".
Solution:
- Make source mandatory for progress-messages
- Enable ++nested (force=true) by default when firing Progress event.
- Set "source" in vim.health module.
Problem:
Currently we are using
if 1 item then
{title}: {percent}%
else
Progress: {AVG}%({N})
dropping {title} and Progress text saves up space in statusline plus makes the format consistent, less jumping around.
Solution:
Use `{AVG}%({N})` for all cases.
Problem:
Currently same progress stat get's displayed on statusline of all
windows. This is repeatitive and noisy.
Solultion:
Only display progress-status on the focused window
Problem:
Currently, when multiple progress are on going we show it as Progress:
{N} items {percent}% format. It can be simplified sinnce items doesn't
really add enough value for the valuable space it takes in statusline
Solution:
Change format to Progress: {percent}%({N})
Problem:
Default statusline doesn't show progress status.
Solution:
- Provide `vim.ui.progress_status()`.
- Include it in the default 'statusline'.
How it works:
Status text summarizes "running" progress messages.
- If none: returns empty string
- If one running item: "title: percent%"
- If multiple running items: "Progress: N items avg-percent%"
Problem:
When a terminal process exits, "[Process Exited]" text is added
to the buffer contents.
Solution:
- Return `exitcode` field from `nvim_get_chan_info`.
- Show it in the default 'statusline'.
- Show exitcode as virtual text in the terminal buffer.
Problem: after #33036, an error from evaluating 'statusline' clears it and
doesn't draw the statusline. (causing glitchy redraws)
Solution: use the default value instead. If 'stl' is somehow ever empty, still
call redraw_custom_statusline to at least draw an empty statusline.
Ideally our default 'stl' shouldn't itself error too! :-)
Also adjust some prior screen:expect()s to avoid immediate success warnings.
**Problem:** No easy way to stack highlight groups #35806.
**Solution:** Add a way to specify a new statusline chunk with a
highlight group that inherits from previous highlight attributes.
Also applies to tabline, etc.
Problem:
When a window is redrawn, `draw_vsep_win`/`draw_hsep_win` paint plain
separator characters (`│`/`─`) along the window's entire edges,
including cells that are connector corners belonging to other windows.
Then `draw_sep_connectors_win` only fixes the corners of that same
window, not connectors in the middle of its edges that belong to
adjacent windows.
If the window that "owns" the connector corner isn't part of the redraw,
the connector is never repainted.
Solution:
Move connector drawing out of the per-window `win_update` and into a
separate pass in `update_screen` that runs after all windows have been
updated.
Problem: When creating floating window from existing window, the
window-local 'statusline' option is inherited, causing unwanted
statusline display. Additionally, with laststatus=3 (global statusline),
the early return skipped clearing wp->w_redr_status flag.
Solution: Clear inherited window-local 'statusline' in win_new_float
for style="minimal". Restructure win_redr_status to always clear the
flag before any early returns, and only render floating window statusline
when window-local 'statusline' is explicitly set. And respect 'laststatus'
option.
Limit the default truncation item to the current recursion range so
nested `nvim_eval_statusline()` calls don't reuse stale `stl_items`
pointers. Add a functional regression that evaluates a Lua statusline
helper which forces truncation to ensure the nested scenario stays
stable.

Fixes#36616
Problem: a horizontal separator may be added to a window that doesn't need one
if there is no room when moving a different window.
Solution: only restore a hsep in winframe_restore when the global statusline is
enabled.
This workarounds a bug likely in nvim__get_runtime, and fixes#35124
Though I'd argue it is more correct anyway as the point of
vim.SUBMODULE lazy loading is "only pay for what you use". If no one
has require'vim.diagnostic' yet in LSP or otherwise, there cannot
be any diagostics available and loading the lua module is wasteful.
Problem:
Default 'statusline' is implemented in C and not representable as
a statusline expression. This makes it hard for user configs/plugins to
extend it.
Solution:
- Change the default 'statusline' slightly to a statusline expression.
- Remove the C implementation.
Problem:
When an evaluation {-item calls `nvim_eval_statusline()`, that nested
call may overwrite the same memory used for `stl_items`.
Solution:
Make `curitem` static and use it to compute an offset to avoid
overwriting `stl_items` in nested calls to `build_stl_str_hl()`. Move
miscellaneous statusline tests into `describe()` block.
Before calling "attach" a screen object is just a dummy container for
(row, col) values whose purpose is to be sent as part of the "attach"
function call anyway.
Just create the screen in an attached state directly. Keep the complete
(row, col, options) config together. It is still completely valid to
later detach and re-attach as needed, including to another session.
Specifically, functions that are run in the context of the test runner
are put in module `test/testutil.lua` while the functions that are run
in the context of the test session are put in
`test/functional/testnvim.lua`.

This is the first installment of a multi-PR series significantly
refactoring how highlights are being specified.
The end goal is to have a base set of 20 ish most common highlights,
and then specific files only need to add more groups to that as needed.
As a complicating factor, we also want to migrate to the new default
color scheme eventually. But by sharing a base set, that future PR
will hopefully be a lot smaller since a lot of tests will be migrated
just simply by updating the base set in place.
As a first step, fix the anti-pattern than Screen defaults to ignoring
highlights. Highlights are integral part of the screen state, not
something "extra" which we only test "sometimes". For now, we still
allow opt-out via the intentionally ugly
screen._default_attr_ids = nil
The end goal is to get rid of all of these eventually (which will be
easier as part of the color scheme migration)
Problem: saving and restoring all frames to split-move is overkill now
that WinNewPre is not fired when split-moving.
Solution: defer the flattening of frames until win_split_ins begins
reorganising them, and attempt to restore the layout by
undoing our changes. (Sean Dewar)

Problem: The 'statusline'-format ui elements do not receive right
click events when "mousemodel" is "popup*"
Solution: Do not draw popupmenu and handle click event instead.
