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.
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.

Problem:
Linter missed backtick and double-quote keynames in the quasi-keyset of
the `nvim_create_user_command` docstring.
Solution:
Update the linter to check backtick-surrounded and quote-surrounded key
names.
Problem: Entering the pager fails if <ESC> is remapped to :fclose by user.
Solution: Avoid executing mappings with nvim_feedkeys() that closes expanded cmdline.
(cherry picked from commit 2b7a00746d)
Problem: `vim:`, etc. in cmdline are interpreted as modeline, causing error E518.
Solution: Set 'nomodeline' when creating the buffers.
(cherry picked from commit 0ea720f281)
Problem:
The argument to `:help` is normalized to fit the general tag format.
I.e. i^U-default, iCTRL-U-default and i_CTRL_U-default should all point
to the i_CTRL_U-default tag. Our normalization adds an underscore around
the CTRL keycode, e.g. iCTRL-GCTRL-J becomes i_CTRL-G_CTRL-J. That's not
necessary if the following part starts with a dash, like the case of
iCTRL-U-default.
Solution:
Do not insert an underscore if the following character is a dash/minus
(-).

fix(lsp): send didClose, didOpen when languageId changes
Problem:
If a buffer's filetype changes after the LSP client has already
attached (e.g. from json to jsonc via a modeline), but the client
supports both filetypes, it stays attached. It does not notify the
server of the new languageId, causing the server to incorrectly process
the file using the old languageId.
Solution:
Save the languageId used during textDocument/didOpen, and send
textDocument/didClose + textDocument/didOpen when buffer's languageId
changed.
Lsp spec:
0003fb53f1/_specifications/lsp/3.18/textDocument/didOpen.md (L5)
> If the language id of a document changes, the client
> needs to send a textDocument/didClose to the server followed by a
> textDocument/didOpen with the new language id if the server handles
> the new language id as well.

Problem:
Error when querying document symbols using python-lsp-server:
lsp/util.lua:1955: attempt to concatenate field 'containerName' (a userdata value)
Solution:
Check for `vim.NIL`.
(cherry picked from commit 1799aaebda)
Problem:
Can't expand treesitter-incremental-selection to the next and previous
sibling nodes.
Solution:
Pressing `]N` in visual mode will expand the selection to the next
sibling node, and `[N` will do the same with the previous node.

fix(ui2): ensure msg window is visible after closing tab
Problem: After closing a tabpage while the msg window is showing a
message, it is hidden while the msg window still contains a
message.
Solution: Unhide the msg window after entering a tabpage and it still
contains a message.

Problem: :restart leads to ERR/WRN logging on Windows with --listen.
Solution: Add a log_level flag to vim._with() and use it to suppress
logging from serverstart()/serverstop() during restart.
(cherry picked from commit 208951cbc0)
Problem:
On Windows, :restart cannot immediately reuse the canonical --listen
address because named pipe release is asynchronous.
Solution:
Start the new Nvim server on a temporary address; in the new Nvim,
retry serverstart() with the original ("canonical") address until it
succeeds.

Problem: Invalid check for non-typed key to dismiss expanded cmdline.
Unable to delay the timer that removes a message from the msg
window.
Solution: Check for empty string instead of nil to determine whether a
key is typed.
Restart the timer if it expires while the user is in the msg
window. Allow entering the msg window with a mouse click.
(cherry picked from commit faa7c15b5a)
Problem: Using `buf=0`/`win=0` context in `vim._with` should be
equivalent to using explicit buffer/window identifier respectively.
Solution: Explicitly adjust context in case of `buf=0` or `win=0`.
(cherry picked from commit 3a4cc5db0b)
Problem: - Paging keys in the dialog window consume input when the user
may not expect it. The dismissable title hint intended to
mitigate that results in having to press Escape twice to
abandon the prompt.
- Mimicked "msgsep" float border is taking up unnecessary
space when window takes up the entire screen.
Solution: - Use (conventional, albeit less convenient) keys intended
for scrolling to page the dialog window:
<(Mousewheel/Page)Up/Down>, <Home/End>.
- Only set the float top border when separation is actually
necessary, i.e. window does not reach the first row.

test: lint naming conventions
Problem:
Naming conventions are not automatically checked.
Solution:
Add a check to the doc generator. Eventually we should extract this
somehow, but that will require refactoring the doc generator...
Note: this also checks non-public functions, basically anything that
passes through `gen_eval_files.lua` and `gen_vimdoc.lua`. And that's
a good thing.
Replace the busted-based Lua test runner with a repo-local harness.
The new harness runs spec files directly under `nvim -ll`, ships its own
reporter and lightweight `luassert` shim, and keeps the helper/preload
flow used by the functional and unit test suites.
Keep the file boundary model shallow and busted-like by restoring `_G`,
`package.loaded`, `package.preload`, `arg`, and the process environment
between files, without carrying extra reset APIs or custom assertion
machinery.
Update the build and test entrypoints to use the new runner, add
black-box coverage for the harness itself, and drop the bundled
busted/luacheck dependency path.

(cherry picked from commit 55f9c2136e)
Problem: When messages are appended to an already expanded cmdline,
the spilled lines indicator is not updated.
Solution: Remove early return for updating virtual text while cmdline is
expanded, guard updating "msg" virt_text at callsite instead.

fix(ui2): flicker when entering pager from expanded cmdline #38639
Problem: 'showcmd' causes flickering when pressing "g<" to enter the
pager when the cmdline is expanded for messages.
Initial keypress for an incomplete mapping is not giving 'showcmd'
feedback while cmdline is expanded for messages (which is only
dismissed upon the vim.on_key callback after 'timeoutlen').
Solution: Delay dismissing expanded cmdline when vim.on_key() callback
receives "g".
Place 'showcmd' "last" virtual text during expanded cmdline.

Problem: Cmdline is not redrawn after an empty message clears it.
Remembered last drawn cursor position may be outdated but
equal to the current cmdline content with UI2.
Solution: Ensure cmdline is redrawn after an empty message clears it.
Compare wanted cursor position with actual cursor position.
(cherry picked from commit 1685ced335)
Problem: `vim._core.ui2.enable` requires passing an empty table for
default options, unlike other (native) Lua API.
Solution: Initialize `opts` with empty table if `nil` is passed.
(cherry picked from commit e508aa0fa8)
Problem: Mixing "buf" and "M.bufs.msg" in M.msg:start_timer().
Cannot run `require("vim._core.ui2").enable(nil)`.
Solution: Replace "M.bufs.msg" with "buf". Allow `opts == nil`.

fix(ui2): prevent <CR> from focusing pager in insert/terminal mode
Problem: <CR> in insert/terminal mode can focus pager unexpectedly.
Solution: Don't enter the pager when <CR> is pressed during expanded
cmdline in insert/terminal mode.
Problem: When entering the cmdline below expanded messages, those
messages are moved to the dialog window. The dialog window
supports paging but that is unexpected in this situation where
it just serves to keep (some of, exactly those that were
visible before the cmdline was entered) the messages visible.
Wrong highlight group for dialog "more" message.
Solution: Don't create the `vim.on_key()` dialog pager callback after
entering the cmdline below expanded messages.
Use the MsgMore highlight group for the paging hint title.
Problem: - With expanded messages exceeding cfg.msg.cmd.height, entering
the cmdline scrolls to the bottom and expands to the full "cmd"
buffer text height.
- Cursor in the pager is not always at the last message and at
the bottom of the window when appending to the pager.
- unreliable test: messages2_spec: "closed msg window timer removes
empty lines".
Solution: - Achieve separation of the cmdline and message text by moving
messages to the dialog window when entering the cmdline below
expanded messages.
- Set cursor to start of the first message only when first
entering the pager. Use `norm! zb` to position last message
at the bottom of the window (which shouldn't crash anymore
since 911337eb).
- Increase cfg.msg.msg.timeout used in the test file.
The `buffer` option remains functional but is now undocumented.
Providing both will raise an error. Since providing `buf` was disallowed
before, there is no code that will break due to using `buffer` alongside
`buf`.
Problem:
- Window height is set dynamically to match the text height,
making it difficult for the user to use a different height.
- Cmdwin is closed to enter the pager but still taken into
account for the pager position, and not restored when
the pager is closed.
- Dialog pager handler may unnecessarily consume <Esc>.
Solution:
- Add maximum height config fields for each of the UI2 windows,
where a number smaller than one is a fraction of 'lines',
absolute height otherwise (i.e. `cfg.msg.pager.height = 0.5`).
- If the cmdwin will be closed to enter the pager, don't try
to position the pager above it. Re-enter the cmdwin when the
pager is closed.
- Only add vim.on_key() handler for the dialog paging is actually
possible.
Problem
Unlike inlay hints, code lenses are closely related to running commands;
a significant number of code lenses are used to execute a command (such
as running tests). Therefore, it is necessary to provide a default
mapping for them.
Solution
Add a new default mapping "grx" (mnemonic: "eXecute", like "gx").
Problem: Entering the pager is scheduled to avoid errors while in the
cmdwin. Meanwhile the current window is used as a condition to
detect an active pager.
Solution: Keep track of when the user is in the pager (or entered the
cmdwin while the pager was open).
Problem: Windows are closed and re-opened after changing tabpage (and
might be removed from the current tabpage after 094b297a).
Solution: Ensure windows are on the current tabpage by moving them.
Problem:
No way to iterate configs. Users need to reach
for `vim.lsp.config._configs`, an internal interface.
Solution:
Provide vim.lsp.get_configs().
Also indirectly improves :lsp enable/disable completion
by discarding invalid configs from completion.
Problem:
When `to_vim_value[info.metatype](info, value)` is called, a list value
such as `{'eob:a'}` is treated like a map, which generates `1:eob:a`.
Note: commands like `:lua vim.opt.wildmode={'longest:full'}` are not an
issue because only cases harcoded in `key_value_options` have metatype `map`.
Solution:
Check for array type and use the same logic as in array metatypes.
Problem:
"[Process exited]" is implemented in C with anonymous namespace
and users have no way to hide it.
Solution:
- Handle "TermClose" event in Lua.
- User can delete the "nvim.terminal" augroup to avoid "[Process exited]".
