Problem:
When using the Nvim appimage, `~/.cache/nvim/luac` directory can grow to
250,000+ files.
Example of 2 identical files in `./luac/`:
%2ftmp%2f.mount_nvim.a65Rja0%2fusr%2fshare%2fnvim%2fruntime%2flua%2fvim%2ftreesitter.luac
%2ftmp%2f.mount_nvim.aNpxXgo%2fusr%2fshare%2fnvim%2fruntime%2flua%2fvim%2ftreesitter.luac
Analysis:
The `nvim.appimage` mounts nvim at a different temporary path each time
it is invoked. The naming scheme of these cache files is random, which
defats the purpose of the cache creates N new files on every launch of
nvim.
Steps to reproduce:
1. install `nvim.appimage`
2. `mv ~/.cache/nvim/luac ~/.cache/nvim/luac.backup`
3. `nvim`
4. Observe contents of `~/.cache/nvim/luac/`
5. Close nvim and run `nvim` again
6. Observe contents of `~/.cache/nvim/luac/` and see that new identical
files have been added with a different mount prefix
Solution:
When running from an appimage, trim the random part of the filepaths.
Problem:
After bc0635a9fc `vim.wait()` rejects floats
and NaN values.
Solution:
Restore the prior behavior, while still supporting `math.huge`. Update
tests to cover float case.
Problem:
Current options for powershell and pwsh had mistakes and rationale
behind them was not clear.
Solution:
Update the suggested options by splitting up powershell and pwsh, as
well as ensuring that all options work and rationale is documented and
discussed.
Problem: When exiting at the end of the more prompt (at the hit enter
prompt) by hitting q the recording mode will be started.
(Jakub Łuczyński)
Solution: Don't add the q key to the typeahead buffer
in the function wait_return (Bjoern Foersterling)

Problem: diff: missing diff size limit for xdiff
Solution: Impose file size limit for internal diff (xdiff)
(Yee Cheng Chin).
Git imposes a hard cap on file size for content that it passes to xdiff
(added to Git in dcd1742e56e, defined in xdiff-interface.h), due to
integer overflow concerns in xdiff. Vim doesn't specify such a limit
right now, which means it's possible for a user to diff a large file
(1GB+) and trigger these overflow issues.
Add the same size limit (1GB minus 1MB) to Vim and simply throws an
error when Vim encounters files larger than said limit. For now, reuse
the same error message regarding internal diff failures. There is no
need to add the same limit for external diff as it's up to each tool to
error check their input to decide what is appropriate or not.

Problem:
The execution of startup scripts in parent directories are too late
compared to scripts in current direcctory.
Solution:
Execute all startup scripts with `lua/_core/exrc.lua`.
closes: #35147
Problem:
`clint.py` is the last python in our codebase, and beyond that it needs
some cleanup. And it lacks tests, so modifying it can be painful.
Also, we need a way to add ad-hoc lint rules for *Lua*, so it will help
to have our ad-hoc rules for C in the same language (the scripts may
share functions/techniques): https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/28372
Solution:
- convert to `clint.lua` (mostly AI-generated, but it now has test
coverage, unlike `clint.py`)
- drop rules that are no longer needed:
- "readability/multiline_string"
- technially still relevant, but very uncommon so doesn't really matter.
- "--line-length"
- Not used in the old clint.py, nor the new clint.lua.
- "comment whitespace" check
- It is enforced by uncrustify.
- "TODO" check
- The `-google-readability-function-size` clang-tidy rule enforces
"TODO(user)" format. (It was already enabled long ago.)
Problem: :stag does not use 'swichtbuf' option, though the
documentation states differently
(Christian Brabandt)
Solution: Respect 'switchbuf' option (Yegappan Lakshmanan).

Problem:
Our LSP type system didnt have a concept of RegistrationMethods, this is where the method to dynamically register for a capability is sent to a different method endpoint then is used to call it. Eg `textDocument/semanticTokens` rather than the specific full/range/delta methods
Solution:
Extended generator to create `vim.lsp.protocol.Methods.Registration` with these registration methods. Also extend `_request_name_to_client_capability` to cover these methods. Adjust typing to suit
Problem:
Every CI log has a lot of noise at the end, which makes it harder to
find relevant test failures:

Solution:
- Skip logging in test-mode.
- This can be reverted later, when these logs are changed to "INFO"
level, per this TODO comment:
```
// TODO(bfredl): This is really ILOG but we want it in all builds.
// add to show_verbose_terminfo() without being too racy ????
WLOG("TUI: terminal mode %d unavailable, state %d", mode, state);
```
Problem:
If a `vim.lsp.config` explicitly sets `exit_timeout`, that indicates the
config wants that behavior for most usages of `:stop()`.
Solution:
Update `:stop()` to use `force=exit_timeout` if `force` was not
explicitly passed.
Problem: gewininfo() does not return if statusline is visible
Solution: Add status_height to the dict items returned by
getwininfo() (Hirohito Higashi)

Problem: Windows: Vim always adds the current directory to search path.
This should only happen when using cmd.exe as 'shell'. For
example, powershell won't run binaries from the current
directory.
Solution: Only add current directory to system path, when using cmd.exe
as 'shell'.

Also, don't start the timer at all when a previous shutdown failed, as
in this case a forced shutdown is used and no timer is needed.
This fixes most of the delays caused by #36750.
The delays caused by #36378 still seem to remain.
Problem:
Version check failed because of "equality" comparison, so a version
string of "123abc" would not match "123abcdef".
Solution:
- Adjust verison check.
- Improve bug-report formatting.
Allow the `request` parameter in `tokens_to_ranges` to be `nil` and
update version checking logic accordingly. This prevents errors when
the request is not present and improves robustness of semantic token
handling.
Problem:
The `flags` field calls its sub-fields "experimental".
But `exit_timeout` is now used for multiple purposes.
Solution:
Graduate `exit_timeout` to a top-level ClientConfig field.
Problem: filetype: Erlang lexical files are not recognized
Solution: Detect *.xrl files as leex filetype, include syntax and
filetype plugins (Jon Parise).
leex is the lexical analyzer generator for Erlang. Its input file format
follows a section-based structure and uses the `.xrl` file extension.
This initial work includes file detection, an ftplugin (which inherits
the Erlang configuration), and a syntax definition.

Problem: filetype: not all Erlang files are recognized
Solution: Detect *.app.src and rebar.config files as erlang filetype
(John Parise).
*.app.src files contain Erlang application definitions. (There are also
*.app files, which are similar but more often build artifacts, and that
file extension is too ambiguous to be recognized by default.)
Reference:
- https://www.erlang.org/doc/system/applications.html
Rebar is the Erlang build tool. rebar.config uses Erlang syntax.

Problem:
Nvim supports `textDocument/semanticTokens/full` and `…/full/delta`
already, but most servers don't support `…/full/delta` and Nvim will try
to request and process full semantic tokens response on every buffer
change. Even though the request is debounced, there is noticeable lag if
the token response is large (in a big file).
Solution:
Support `textDocument/semanticTokens/range`, which requests semantic
tokens for visible screen only.
