Problem: Storing the configured 'cmdheight' value is scheduled and
may happen after cmdline2_spec already entered block_mode.
Excessive wait time for expected screen state due to delayed
ruler after an error message.
Solution: Only schedule storing the user configured 'cmdheight' if
v:vim_did_enter is unset. Use regular message instead of error.

vim-patch:41ee98c: runtime(filetype): fix incorrect pattern and break early
- Using `\n` is incorrect, as result of getline() does not contain line
breaks and only uses `\n` for NUL bytes.
- Return when b:asmsyntax is set, like many other filetypes.

Problem: winborder option only supported predefined styles and lacked support for custom border characters.
Solution: implement parsing for comma-separated list format that allows specifying 8 individual border characters (topleft, top, topright, right, botright, bottom, botleft, left).
Problem: The message window is essentially a regular floating window
but does not use 'winborder'.
Still some "scratch" buffer options unset after it was removed
from its window.
Solution: Do not set the border when opening the window message.
Forego passing `scratch = true` when opening a buffer,
set the options manually when necessary.

Problem: An accidental key press can dismiss a routed message to be
shown in full before the user was able to read it.
'verbose' message routing based on an outdated condition results
in "last_set" messages being separated from its message pair.
Solution: Show a message to be shown in full in the cmdline window instead
of the pager. Keep it there and update the spill indicator when
the message is dismissed.
Remove the 'verbose' message routing.
Problem: completion: search completion match may differ in case
(techntools)
Solution: add "exacttext" to 'wildoptions' value (Girish Palya)
This flag does the following:
exacttext
When this flag is present, search pattern completion
(e.g., in |/|, |?|, |:s|, |:g|, |:v|, and |:vim|)
shows exact buffer text as menu items, without
preserving regex artifacts like position
anchors (e.g., |/\<|). This provides more intuitive
menu items that match the actual buffer text. However,
searches may be less accurate since the pattern is not
preserved exactly.
By default, Vim preserves the typed pattern (with
anchors) and appends the matched word. This preserves
search correctness, especially when using regular
expressions or with 'smartcase' enabled. However, the
case of the appended matched word may not exactly
match the case of the word in the buffer.

- Update vim_diff.txt
Problem: Health check floating window gets closed when pressing 'gO' to show TOC because LSP floating preview system auto-closes on BufEnter events triggered by :lopen.
Solution: Temporarily disable BufEnter event for the current window during TOC operations and adjust window layout to prevent overlap.

Problem:
Closes#31453
Solution:
Introduce `vim.lsp.Capability`, which may serve as the base class for
all LSP features that require caching data. it
- was created if there is at least one client that supports the specific method;
- was destroyed if all clients that support the method were detached.
- Apply the refactor for `folding_range.lua` and `semantic_tokens.lua`.
- Show active features in :checkhealth.
Future:
I found that these features that are expected to be refactored by
`vim.lsp.Capability` have one characteristic in common: they all send
LSP requests once the document is modified. The following code is
different, but they are all for this purpose.
- semantic tokens:
fb8dba413f/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/semantic_tokens.lua (L192-L198)
- inlay hints, folding ranges, document color
fb8dba413f/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/inlay_hint.lua (L250-L266)
I think I can sum up this characteristic as the need to keep certain
data synchronized with the latest version computed by the server.
I believe we can handle this at the `vim.lsp.Capability` level, and
I think it will be very useful.
Therefore, my next step is to implement LSP request sending and data
synchronization on `vim.lsp.Capability`, rather than limiting it to the
current create/destroy data approach.

Problem: completion: can only complete from keyword characters
Solution: remove this restriction, allow completion functions when
called from i_CTRL-N/i_CTRL-P to be triggered from non-keyword
characters (Girish Palya)
Previously, functions specified in the `'complete'` option were
restricted to starting completion only from keyword characters (as
introduced in PR 17065). This change removes that restriction.
With this change, user-defined functions (e.g., `omnifunc`, `userfunc`)
used in `'complete'` can now initiate completion even when triggered
from non-keyword characters. This makes it easier to reuse existing
functions alongside other sources without having to consider whether the
cursor is on a keyword or non-keyword character, or worry about where
the replacement should begin (i.e., the `findstart=1` return value).
The logic for both the “collection” and “filtering” phases now fully
respects each source’s specified start column. This also extends to
fuzzy matching, making completions more predictable.
Internally, this builds on previously merged infrastructure that tracks
per-source metadata. This PR focuses on applying that metadata to
compute the leader string and insertion text appropriately for each
match.
Also, a memory corruption has been fixed in prepare_cpt_compl_funcs().

Problem: 'wildchar' does not work in search contexts
Solution: implement search completion when 'wildchar' is typed
(Girish Palya).
This change enhances Vim's command-line completion by extending
'wildmode' behavior to search pattern contexts, including:
- '/' and '?' search commands
- ':s', ':g', ':v', and ':vim' commands
Completions preserve the exact regex pattern typed by the user,
appending the completed word directly to the original input. This
ensures that all regex elements — such as '<', '^', grouping brackets
'()', wildcards '\*', '.', and other special characters — remain intact
and in their original positions.
---
**Use Case**
While searching (using `/` or `?`) for lines containing a pattern like
`"foobar"`, you can now type a partial pattern (e.g., `/f`) followed by
a trigger key (`wildchar`) to open a **popup completion menu** showing
all matching words.
This offers two key benefits:
1. **Precision**: Select the exact word you're looking for without
typing it fully.
2. **Memory aid**: When you can’t recall a full function or variable
name, typing a few letters helps you visually identify and complete the
correct symbol.
---
**What’s New**
Completion is now supported in the following contexts:
- `/` and `?` search commands
- `:s`, `:g`, `:v`, and `:vimgrep` ex-commands
---
**Design Notes**
- While `'wildchar'` (usually `<Tab>`) triggers completion, you'll have
to use `<CTRL-V><Tab>` or "\t" to search for a literal tab.
- **Responsiveness**: Search remains responsive because it checks for
user input frequently.
---
**Try It Out**
Basic setup using the default `<Tab>` as the completion trigger:
```vim
set wim=noselect,full wop=pum wmnu
```
Now type:
```
/foo<Tab>
```
This opens a completion popup for matches containing "foo".
For matches beginning with "foo" type `/\<foo<Tab>`.
---
**Optional: Autocompletion**
For automatic popup menu completion as you type in search or `:`
commands, include this in your `.vimrc`:
```vim
vim9script
set wim=noselect:lastused,full wop=pum wcm=<C-@> wmnu
autocmd CmdlineChanged [:/?] CmdComplete()
def CmdComplete()
var [cmdline, curpos, cmdmode] = [getcmdline(), getcmdpos(),
expand('<afile>') == ':']
var trigger_char = '\%(\w\|[*/:.-]\)$'
var not_trigger_char = '^\%(\d\|,\|+\|-\)\+$' # Exclude numeric range
if getchar(1, {number: true}) == 0 # Typehead is empty, no more
pasted input
&& !wildmenumode() && curpos == cmdline->len() + 1
&& (!cmdmode || (cmdline =~ trigger_char && cmdline !~
not_trigger_char))
SkipCmdlineChanged()
feedkeys("\<C-@>", "t")
timer_start(0, (_) => getcmdline()->substitute('\%x00', '',
'ge')->setcmdline()) # Remove <C-@>
endif
enddef
def SkipCmdlineChanged(key = ''): string
set ei+=CmdlineChanged
timer_start(0, (_) => execute('set ei-=CmdlineChanged'))
return key == '' ? '' : ((wildmenumode() ? "\<C-E>" : '') .. key)
enddef
**Optional: Preserve history recall behavior**
cnoremap <expr> <Up> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<Up>")
cnoremap <expr> <Down> SkipCmdlineChanged("\<Down>")
**Optional: Customize popup height**
autocmd CmdlineEnter : set bo+=error | exec $'set ph={max([10,
winheight(0) - 4])}'
autocmd CmdlineEnter [/?] set bo+=error | set ph=8
autocmd CmdlineLeave [:/?] set bo-=error ph&

Make `vim.iter():take()` and `vim.iter():skip()`
optionally accept predicates to enable takewhile
and skipwhile patterns used in functional
programming.
Problem:
The previous fix in #34314 relies on copying the tree in `tree_root` to
ensure the `TSNode`'s tree cannot be mutated. But that causes the
problem where two calls to `tree_root` return nodes from different
copies of a tree, which do not compare as equal. This has broken at
least one plugin.
Solution:
Make all `TSTree`s on the Lua side always immutable, avoiding the need
to copy the tree in `tree_root`, and make the only mutation point,
`tree_edit`, copy the tree instead.
731e616a79 made it so passing `{env = nil, clear_env = true }` would
pass `{env = {}}` to `vim.uv.spawn`.
However this is not what `clear_env` is (arguably) supposed to do.
If `env=nil` then that implies the uses wants `vim.uv.spawn()` to use
the default environment. Adding `clear_env = true` simply prevents
`NVIM` (the base environment) from being added.
Fixes#34730
Problem: No way to compute intersection of two version ranges, which is
