Problem:
A `--listen` path longer than the system socket path limit (~104 bytes on
macOS, 108 on Linux) is silently truncated by `uv_pipe_bind()`. Nvim either
serves a socket at a different path than `v:servername` reports, or fails with
an error that blames the full untruncated path (confusing):
nvim: Failed to --listen: address already in use: "<full path>"
Steps to reproduce:
$ nvim --listen /var/folders/g7/9y_ydbnj2fs_fvp8xf44p8gc0000gn/T//nvim/-Users-rpatterson-Projects-src-github.com-neovide-neovide --embed -p

Solution:
Bind with `uv_pipe_bind2()` and `UV_PIPE_NO_TRUNCATE` (libuv 1.46+), so
a too-long path fails up front with the actual reason:

Problem:
Clearing a register via `:let @a = ""` doesn't persist in shada.
Solution:
Follows the precedent of ee56daebb6 .
Namely, when the live register is empty and *at least as recent* as the copy
that is on disk, drop it instead of writing it back.

Problem:
`:let @/ = ""` doesn't stick after restart (the old search pattern comes back).
Solution:
When the current session cleared the pattern more-recently than stored
shada entry, drop the shada entry instead of restoring it.
Note: similar timestamp-based suppression was used for deleted
marks: ee56daebb6

Problem:
Session files specified at startup `-S [file]`, logically conflict
with `:restart`.
Solution:
Remove `-S [file]` from `v:argv` when doing :restart.
Also for the "bang" variant `:restart!`, just because it's
simpler (if anyone reports a use-case later, we can revisit).
(cherry picked from commit 47958bb4db)
Problem:
`:restart` does not preserve window layout, etc.
Solution:
- Change `:restart` to save/restore a session automatically.
- Introduce "bang" variant `:restart!` to restart *without* session
save/restore.
- Introduce `v:startreason`.
- `ZR` maps to `:restart!`.

Problem:
- Transient mutation of the parent env is visible to any concurrent
code. Or at least just kinda sloppy.
- Latent bug:`channel_job_start` queues the spawn and returns before
`uv_spawn` runs, so the prior `os_unsetenv` immediately after the call
could in principle race with the deferred spawn.
Solution:
Pass `env` to the channel.
(cherry picked from commit a1da5d1f14)
Problem:
It's clumsy for scripts to handle a "restart", without custom mappings or
global vars.
Solution:
Introduce `v:startreason`

The added test shows the context, one expected a JSON field
to be a Object but it was a null value
pros: shows `vim.NIL` instead of `a userdata`
cons: the context `field 'foo'` is lost. I think this is generated
with internal magic which is hard to replicate.

Problem:
On Windows, channel jobs inherit Nvim's stdio, so a background job
writing to CON (e.g. gutentags) draws onto the TUI and stays until
redraw.
Solution:
Give Windows job stdin/stderr libuv-created pipes (UV_CREATE_PIPE)
instead of inherited fds, so libuv spawns the child with
CREATE_NO_WINDOW and CON writes no longer leak onto the TUI.

Problem: No message kind and multiple events for :recover and
(non-prompt) swapfile attention messages.
Solution: Assign these the "list_cmd" and "wmsg" kind.
Problem: The "Scanning:" completion, bufwrite, and indent (there may be
more) messages which indicate progress can use the "progress" kind
for their msg_show event. Indent message does not have a kind.
Solution: Emit these messages with the "progress" kind. Set the message id
to the replaced kind so that a UI knows to replace it (and to provide
a migration path in case a UI was distinguishing these messages for
whatever reason).
Problem:
A colored (guisp) underline showing through a 'winblend' float
lost its special color and followed the foreground instead.
Solution:
In the blend-through case, blend the underline's special color
only when the cell below sets sp explicitly; otherwise clear it.

close#38987
(cherry picked from commit ebc69b387c)
Problem:
All (tested by me) terminals (xterm, st, ghostty, vte, foot, wezterm, konsole) do support `\x1b[0 q` as "reset cursor to default", but at least konsole and wezterm only understands `\x1b[0 q` as "reset to default", but have different behaviour on `\x1b[ q` (konsole sets "steady block", and wezterm does nothing (do not change cursor shape).
Solution:
Use `\x1b[0 q` would be more widely compatible "reset" sequence than `\x1b[ q`
P.S. actually, `xterm`, `ghostty` and `st` (with default config.h) sets "steady block" for both sequence, but still here `[0` behaves the same as `[`

`huntype` parses the address column by repeatedly left-shifting
`want_off` (a signed `long`) by 4 bits per hex digit. After 16 hex
digits the value occupies all 64 bits; the next shift moves a non-zero
bit into the sign bit -- signed overflow, i.e. undefined behavior.
This happens on the Zig build because it enables UBSAN. The bug was
pre-existing, but 966e7a98f5 added a test that exercises it.
Solution
Shift through `unsigned long` and cast back to `long`, making the
overflow well-defined wrap-around.

Problem:
Various out-of-bounds writes inherited from vim (examples assume MAXPATHL==4096):
- truncated item groups where minwid>maxwid:
nvim --clean +"set stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-11)%}%50.5(12🙂345%)"
leads to fillchars spilling over the end of the group/buffer while trying to
compensate for truncating at a multicell character because minwid<=maxwid is assumed
- left-aligned item groups with multi-byte fillchar:
nvim --clean +"set fillchars+=stl:∙ stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-3)%}%-2(X%)"
wrongly leads to padding at the end of the statusline and `out_p-out==4097`
because the bounds check assumes a 1-byte fillchar
- right-aligned item groups with 1-byte fillchar:
nvim --clean +"set stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-4)%}%4(XY%)"
leads to "YX" instead of "XY" at the end of the statusline
because `memmove` is done before adjusting the offset
- right-aligned item groups with multi-byte fillchar:
nvim --clean +"set fillchars+=stl:∙ stl=%5(X%)"
leads to "∙∙∙∙<e2>", i.e. the fillchar is being written over the group contents
and eventually being overwritten itself at the second byte with the final NUL,
because the padding counter assumes a 1-byte fillchar; to crash Neovim,
nvim --clean +"set fillchars+=stl:∙ stl=%<%{%repeat('x',4096-149)%}%50(X%)"

Problem:
stdpath() may return a DOS 8.3 "shortened" filename, because Windows
truncates some long usernames into `6ch~N` names. Then features such
as `nvim_get_runtime_file` fail to find the file.
Analysis:
When expanding an 8.3 filename path like `C:/Users/ADMINI~1/AppData/*`,
we treat `~` as a special character and first check whether a directory
named `ADMINI~1` exists under `Users`. Since no such directory actually
exists, the expansion fails.
Solution:
Treat `~` as a literal character in `do_path_expand`. Since the `~/`
case is already handled in `gen_expand_wildcards`, any remaining `~` is
just a literal character and will later be escaped to `\~` by
`file_pat_to_reg_pat` if needed.

Problem: completion: cannot complete user cmd :K with 'ignorecase'
(rendcrx)
Solution: Skip the short-circuit when 'ignorecase' is set
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
The set_cmd_index() short-circuit for the :k command treats ":k<X>" as
":k {X}" (mark argument), which makes ":kz<Tab>" never reach the
command-name expansion path. With 'ignorecase' the same prefix on other
letters (":gz<Tab>") completes a user command like :Gz, so the result is
inconsistent. Skip the short-circuit when 'ignorecase' is set; default
behaviour is preserved so the existing :k tests still pass.

Problem:
When mouse=n is set
- Dragging the mouse enters visual mode, and then stops listening for
mouse events.
- Double/Triple/Quad clicking performs selections.
- Clicking in visual mode moves the cursor (though not through the TUI).
Solution:
Explicitly gate mouse actions that affect visual mode with a check for
MOUSE_VISUAL. This matches the behavior described in :help mouse.
> If enabled for "v" (Visual mode) then double-click selects word-wise,
> triple-click makes it line-wise, and quadruple-click makes it
> rectangular block-wise.
(cherry picked from commit 24f7182390)
Problem:
Visual selection could end up in the wrong place after
nvim_buf_set_text or nvim_buf_set_lines. In some delete cases,
Visual.lnum was already clamped before the line shift happened, so the
adjustment got skipped.
Solution:
Split fix_cursor_cols into reusable fix_pos_col logic and reuse it
for Visual updates. Also adjust Visual.lnum before changed_lines so
the shift uses the original position before final clamping.
(cherry picked from commit 450ba41436)
Problem:
During startup, we manually trigger a useless and misleading `OptionSet`
event, which doesn't set `v:option_*` values (this is a limitation of
`nvim_exec_autocmds`).
ad4bc2d90c/runtime/lua/vim/_core/defaults.lua (L939).
Solution:
The `nvim_exec_autocmds('OptionSet',…)` call does not serve any purpose
since 5cbb9d613b, so just drop it.
Problem:
After closing and reopening Neovim, ]' and [' fail with E92: Buffer 0

Problem: The four pointer-resolution loops in u_read_undo() lack
an i != j guard, so a header whose uh_next.seq equals
its own uh_seq resolves uh_next.ptr to itself. On
buffer close, u_freeheader() sees uhp->uh_next.ptr !=
NULL and skips updating b_u_oldhead, so u_blockfree()
dereferences the freed header on the next iteration.
The same pattern applies to uh_prev, uh_alt_next and
uh_alt_prev. A crafted .un~ file in the same directory
as a text file can trigger the use-after-free and
subsequent double-free when the buffer is closed.
(Daniel Cervera)
Solution: Add an i != j guard to each of the four resolution
loops, matching the guard already present in the
duplicate-detection loop above.

(cherry picked from commit ffe87d91f7)
Problem:
When `:!` writes shell output to a buffer, write_output() splits on `\r`, `\n`,
and `\r\n`, replacing the terminator byte with NUL. For a binary-mode buffer
this is wrong: `\r` should be preserved verbatim, not treated as a line
terminator. This wrong behavior causes a file like `\r\n` round-trips through
`:%!cat` to `\n`.
This was masked when 'shelltemp' was enabled, because output went through a temp
file and the regular file I/O path handled binary-mode correctly. Switching the
default to 'noshelltemp' exposed the bug, since output is now piped directly
into write_output().
Solution:
In `write_output()`, skip the `\r` and `\r\n` splits for a binary-mode buffer;
only split on `\n`.

feat(tui): restore 'ttyfast' to control tty requests
Problem:
When running nvim on a remote machine over SSH, if there is high ping,
then bg detection may not complete in time. This results in a warning
every time nvim is started. #38648
Solution:
Restore 'ttyfast' option and allow it to control whether or not bg
detection is performed. Because this is during startup and before any
user config or commands, we use the environment variable
`NVIM_NOTTYFAST` to allow disabling `ttyfast` during initialization.
