Problem:
Test sometimes fails on macos:
test/functional/terminal/channel_spec.lua:96: Expected objects to be the same.
Passed in:
(number) 3
Expected:
(number) 2
Solution:
Retry a few times.
Problem: When `vim._extui` is enabled, the default tabline shows an
incorrect window count (e.g., "2" when only 1 window is visible). This
happens because the extui pager window has `focusable=true` (needed for
user interaction) but `hide=true` (not visible by default).
Solution: Modify the window counting logic in `statusline.c` and
`ex_docmd.c:ex_tabs()` to also exclude hidden windows
(`wp->w_config.hide`), not just non-focusable windows.
Also updates test expectations in `cmdline2_spec.lua` which previously
expected the incorrect window count "2" when extui was enabled. The test
now correctly expects no window count indicator when only 1 visible
window exists.

Problem: Memory leak with :breakadd expr
Solution: Free debug_oldval and debug_newval before assigning to them.
Verify the existing (though confusing) :breakadd expr behavior
(zeertzjq).
It seems that :breakadd expr doesn't work as documented at all. This PR
only fixes the memory leak. The tests are for the existing behavior.

Problem:
MessagePack fixstr format supports string lengths 0-31, but mpack_str()
only used fixstr for lengths < 20. Strings of 20-31 bytes were
incorrectly encoded as str8 (2-byte header) instead of fixstr (1-byte
header).
Solution:
Change the condition from `len < 20` to `len < 32` to match the
MessagePack specification.
This fix affects message timing which exposed a pre-existing race
condition in the channels_spec PTY test. The test now uses a helper
function to accumulate partial PTY reads, making it more robust.

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.
Problem:
Currently we fetch a prebuilt xxd.exe from neovim/deps for Windows,
which is not ideal in terms of obviousness, misses updates, and is
clumsy to update.
Solution:
Similar to tee.c (#36363), vendor xxd.c from Vim and build it as part
of the Neovim build process. This makes the source obvious, enables
analyzer checks, and simplifies updates.
Fixes#36664
Problem: It is desirable for the default statusline to contain colored
diagnostics information. However, current `StatusLine` group is
purposefully defined as almost inverted `Normal` to "make current
window obvious". This makes diagnostic information from
`vim.diagnostic.status()` barely visible: it uses established
`DiagnosticSignXxx` groups which have colored foreground with
lightness close to `StatusLine` background.
Also the `StatusLineNC` group is fairly different from `Normal` in
order to both "makes window separators clear" and "be different from
`CursorLine`". But not as mush different as `StatusLine` because
"`StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC` should be clearly different".
Solution: Make both `StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC` be slightly closer
in lightness to `Normal`. This makes `StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC`
groups satisfy their conditions in the following way:
- `vim.diagnostic.count()` is readable on `StatusLine` - yes.
- `vim.diagnostic.count()` is readable on `StatusLineNC` - yes.
- `StatusLine` makes current window obvious - I'd say yes.
- `StatusLine` and `StatusLineNC` are clearly different - it depends
on the eyes and monitor. The current is clearly better, but the new
ones I'd say are still visibly different.
- `StatusLineNC` makes window separators clear - I'd say yes, but
depends on the eyes and monitor.
- `StatuslineNC` is different from `CursorLine` - NO, they are same.
Another approach to solve this would be to introduce dedicated
`DiagnosticStatuslineXxx` groups to use in `vim.diagnostics.status()`.
They can be defined using foreground colors from the same lightness as
`Normal`. This would make them readable in `StatusLine`. But not
`StatusLineNC`, though.
Problem: completion: 'completefuzzycollect' option is too obscure
Solution: Deprecate the option, but don't error out for existing scripts,
behave like 'completefuzzycollect' is set when fuzzy
completion is enabled (Girish Palya).

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.
Don't handle cindent in insert_check(). Instead, do that just before
returning from insert_execute() if required.
This also makes the in_cinkeys() change from #12894 unnecessary.
Problem:
nvim_get_commands does not return callbacks defined for
"preview", "complete", or the command itself.
Solution:
- Return Lua function as "callback" field in a Lua context.
- Return "preview" function in a Lua context.
- BREAKING: Return "complete" as a function instead of a boolean.
Problem:
`diagnostic.status()` is configured via `config.signs`, but users may
want diagnostics only in statusline, not in the gutter (signs).
Solution:
Add `config.status`.
Problem: apply_autocmds function can free both buf_T and win_T pointers
Solution: instead retain winids for WinResized and WinScrolled
autocmds and use curbuf pointer, which is consistent with other uses
of apply_autocmds function
Problem:
No way to detect at runtime if the build includes unibilium (or whatever
terminfo layer we swap it with later).
Solution:
Support `has('terminfo')`.
Problem: `extmark_splice()` was being called before `ml_replace()`,
which caused the on_bytes callback to be invoked with the old buffer
text instead of the new text.
Solution: store metadata for each match in a growing array, call
`ml_replace()` once to update the buffer, then call `extmark_splice()`
once per match.

Problem:
Trying to match the search highlight groups to the Normal highlight for
the window can fail when the message highlighting contains a fg/bg that
the Normal highlight doesn't (like an error message in cmd will have
ErrorMsg highlight instead of MsgArea - which is Normal in cmd.)
Solution:
Link the search highlight groups to an empty group in 'winhighlight'
thus disabling them instead of overriding them with Normal/MsgArea/etc.
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:
When running ":edit <url>", filetype detection is not triggered.
Solution:
Run the autocmds in the filetypedetect group after loading the content.
Problem:
After fetching remote content from a URL and adding it to the buffer,
the buffer is marked as modified. This is inconsistent with the original
netrw behavior, and it causes problems with `:e` to refresh or `:q` as
it prompts for saving the file even if the user hasn't touched the
content at all.
Solution:
Mark the buffer as unmodified right after adding the remote content to
the buffer.
Technically the current behavior does match documentation. However, the
keys following <Cmd>/K_LUA aren't normally received by vim.on_key()
callbacks either, so it does makes sense to discard them along with the
preceding key.
One may also argue that vim.on_key() callbacks should instead receive
the following keys together with the <Cmd>/K_LUA, but doing that may
cause some performance problems, and even in that case the keys should
still be discarded together.
fix(ui2): hide search highlights in msg window.
Problem: Search highlighting is shown in the msg (and dialog) window.
Solution: Hide search highlighting in all but the pager window.
Problem:
With the typescript LSes typescript-language-server and vtsls,
omnicompletion on partial tokens for certain types, such as array
methods, and functions that are attached as attributes to other
functions, either results in no entries populated in the completion menu
(typescript-language-server), or an unfiltered completion menu with all
array methods included, even if they don't share the same prefix as the
partial token being completed (vtsls).
Solution:
Enable insertReplaceSupport and uses the insert portion of the lsp
completion response in adjust_start_col if it's included in the
response.
Completion results are still filtered client side.
Problem: No way to customize completion order across multiple servers.
Solution: Add `cmp` function to `vim.lsp.completion.enable()` options
for custom sorting logic.
Problem: Cannot reuse same config with noautocmd for both window
creation and updates, even when value is unchanged.
Solution: Only reject noautocmd changes for existing windows.
Problem:
Users often jump and navigate through LSP windows to yank text.
Concealed markdown can make navigation through hyperlinks and code
blocks more difficult.
Solution:
Change 'concealcursor' from 'n' to '' to preserve clean display
while improving navigation and selection of the LSP response.
Closes#36537
Problem: unnecessary and deprecated diagnostics use their own highlight
groups (`DiagnosticUnnecessary` and `DiagnosticDeprecated`) which
override the typical severity-based highlight groups (like
`DiagnosticUnderlineWarn`).
This can be misleading, since diagnostics about unused variables which
are warnings or errors, are shown like comments, since then only the
`DiagnosticUnnecessary` highlight group is used. Users do not see the
more eye-catching red/yellow highlight.
Solution: Instead of overriding the highlight group to
`DiagnosticUnnecessary` or `DiagnosticDeprecated`, set them in addition
to the normal severity-based highlights.
Problem: `nvim://` scheme feels more like a generalized interface that
may be requested externally, and it acts like CLI args (roughly).
This is how `vscode://` works.
Anything that behaves like an "app" or a "protocol" deserves its own
scheme. For such Nvim-owned things they will be called `nvim-xx://`.
Solution: Use `nvim-pack://confirm#<bufnr>` template for confirmation
buffer name instead of `nvim://pack-confirm#<bufnr>`.
Problem: Lockfile can become out of sync with what is actually installed
on disk when user performs (somewhat reasonable) manual actions like:
- Delete lockfile and expect it to regenerate.
- Delete plugin directory without `vim.pack.del()`.
- Manually edit lock data in a bad way.
Solution: Synchronize lockfile data with installed plugins on every
lockfile read. In particular:
1. Install immediately all missing plugins with valid lock data.
This helps with "manually delete plugin directory" case by
prompting user to figure out how to properly delete a plugin.
2. Repair lock data for properly installed plugins.
This helps with "manually deleted lockfile", "manually edited
lockfile in an unexpected way", "installation terminated due to
timeout" cases.
3. Remove unrepairable corrupted lock data and their plugins. This
includes bad lock data for missing plugins and any lock data
for corrupted plugins (right now this only means that plugin
path is not a directory, but can be built upon).
Step 1 also improves usability in case there are lazy loaded plugins
that are rarely loaded (like on `FileType` event, for example):
- Previously starting with config+lockfile on a new machine only
installs rare `vim.pack.add()` plugin after it is called (while
an entry in lockfile would still be present). This could be
problematic if there is no Internet connection, for example.
- Now all plugins from the lockfile are installed before actually
executing the first `vim.pack.add()` call in 'init.lua'. And later
they are only loaded on a rare `vim.pack.add()` call.
---
Synchronizing lockfile on its every read makes it work more robustly
if other `vim.pack` functions are called without any `vim.pack.add()`.
---
Performance for a regular startup (good lockfile, everything is
installed) is not affected and usually even increased. The bottleneck
in this area is figuring out which plugins need to be installed.
Previously the check was done by `vim.uv.fs_stat()` for every plugin
in `vim.pack.add()`. Now it is replaced with a single `vim.fs.dir()`
traversal during lockfile sync while later using lockfile data to
figure out if plugin needs to be installed.
The single `vim.fs.dir` approach scales better than `vim.uv.fs_stat`,
but might be less performant if there are many plugins that will be
not loaded via `vim.pack.add()` during startup.
Rough estimate of how long the same steps (read lockfile and normalize
plugin array) take with a single `vim.pack.add()` filled with 43
plugins benchmarking:
- Before commit: ~700 ms
- After commit: ~550 ms
Problem: Currently it is possible to have plugin in a "partial install"
state when `git clone` was successfull but `git checkout` was not.
This was done to not checkout default branch by default in these
situations (for security reasons).
The problem is that it adds complexity when both dealing with lockfile
(plugin's `rev` might be `nil`) and in how `src` and `version` are
treated (wrong `src` - no plugin on disk; wrong `version` - "partial"
plugin on disk).
Solution: Treat plugin as "installed" if both `git clone` and
`git checkout` are successful, while ensuring that not installed
plugins are not on disk and in lockfile.
This also means that if in 'init.lua' there is a `vim.pack.add()` with
bad `version`, for first install there will be an informative error
about it BUT next session will also try to install it. The solution is
the same - adjust `version` beforehand.
Problem: Installation confirmation has several usability issues:
- Choosing "No" results in a `vim.pack.add()` error. This was by
design to ensure that all later code that *might* reference
presumably installed plugin will not get executed. However, this
is often too restrictive since there might be no such code (like
if plugin's effects are automated in its 'plugin/' directory).
Instead the potential code using not installed plugin will throw
an error.
No error on "No" will also be useful for planned lockfile repair.
- List of soon-to-be-installed plugins doesn't mention plugin names.
This might be confusing if plugins are installed under different
name.
Solution: Silently drop installation step if user chose "No" and show
plugin names in confirmation text (together with their pretty aligned
sources).
