Problem: After 'autocompletedelay' was made non-blocking, the deferred
popup can misbehave: a pending autocomplete survives leaving
Insert mode and then keeps waking the editor in Normal mode,
the deferral is recorded into registers while recording a
macro, the popup appears an extra 'updatetime' late when
'autocompletedelay' is larger and a CursorHoldI autocommand
exists, CursorHoldI can fire twice without an intervening
keypress, and an open balloon is dismissed (after v9.2.0739)
Solution: Treat the deferral like CursorHold: only keep it pending in
Insert mode and not while recording, with pending typeahead,
or when completion is already active; drop it when Insert mode
ends; measure the delay from when the user typed so a
CursorHold in between does not push the popup back; and do not
let the deferral re-enable CursorHoldI or dismiss the balloon.

Problem: With a non-zero 'autocompletedelay', Insert-mode autocommands
(TextChangedI, TextChangedP, CursorMovedI) are delayed, and
while typing faster than the delay they are dropped entirely,
because the delay blocks the main loop.
Solution: Make 'autocompletedelay' non-blocking: instead of busy-waiting
before showing the popup menu, defer it with an input-wait
timeout (K_COMPLETE_DELAY) modeled on CursorHoldI, so typing
stays responsive and the Insert-mode autocommands fire normally.
The delay timer coexists with 'updatetime': the main loop waits for the
sooner of the two and triggers the event whose deadline was reached, so
'autocompletedelay' no longer shadows CursorHold timing. Changing the
completion leader, for example with Backspace, updates the visible popup
immediately like a zero delay; only the first popup is deferred.
Update the 'autocompletedelay' screendumps for the non-blocking display.
One test opened the menu with CTRL-N right after the delay expired and
could race with the deferred popup, so it now waits a little longer than
the delay before sending the key.

Problem:
On Windows, `fnamemodify('//foo/C$', ':h')` incorrectly removes `C$`
as a regular file name and returns `//foo`. However, this is a valid
UNC path, `foo` is a server name and `C$` is a share name.
The correct result should be `//foo/C$`.
Solution:
Extend `os_fileinfo2` and `FileInfo` with `prefix_off`, `rest_off` to
identify path types and logical root boundaries. ':h' can use this info
to prevent traversing past the logical root.
Examples:
/foo => /
//foo => // (POSIX)
//foo/bar => //foo (POSIX)
//server/share/foo => //server/share/ (Windows)
C:/foo => C:/
//?/C:/foo => //?/C:/

Problem:
vim.fs.dir() and vim.fs.find() drop errors returned by uv.fs_scandir().
Solution:
- vim.fs.dir():
- Return root scan failures as a secondary return value.
- Propagate recursive scan failures through the iterator. This allows
callers to distinguish unreadable directories from empty ones.
- vim.fs.find(): Collect errors during search, and return the list as
a second retval.

- Replace newlines in the current cmdline with NULs when opening cmdwin,
and do the reverse when putting a cmdwin line back into the cmdline.
- Escape control characters with Ctrl-V when feeding cmdline.
Problem:
- If cmdwin window is split, ENTER in one does not close the others.
- If cmdwin is put into a different tabpage via <c-w>T, it stops working
(ENTER does not execute the cmd).
Solution:
- Close the buffer instead of the window.
- In the WinClosed handler, skip `M._cleanup()` unless this is the last
cmdwin window.
Problem: changed_lines got a hardcoded 0, so the changelist entry
and '. mark always recorded column 0 instead of where the edit
actually happened.
Solution: pass start_col instead. changelist now tracks the real
column.
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:
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:
- Lua<=>API roundtrips
- Although we prefer Lua for most business-logic code, doing this
conversion in C makes sense in this case because:
1. setting options is a hot path
2. most of the options logic lives in C
3. the current arrangement is MORE verbose and requires MORE code
Solution:
Move conversion to a C util.
- nvim_set_option_value passes the raw Object (scalar, Array, or Dict)
to `object_as_optval_for()` which flattens it to the canonical `:set`
string and validates the type.
- drop `convert_value_to_vim`, eliminate its roundtrip.
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: Crash when reading truncated spellfile (MarkLee131)
Solution: Set sl_sofo to TRUE in set_sofo() once sl_sal has been
converted to the soundfold layout.

Problem:
No lint for strtol().
Solution:
Add lint, and update existing usages.
Callers that previously got a (garbage) large positive value:
- `indent.c`: use getdigits() (intmax, no int truncation) with def=1 so
overflow/too-large values stay positive and fall through to the
existing "too big" check (E475).
- `file_search.c`: use getdigits() with def=255 so overflow/too-large
values keep the "max expand" (else) branch.
The other conversions (api/command.c, eval/window.c, highlight_group.c,
tui/tui.c) only diverge on pathological overflow inputs where strtol's
result was already garbage and the observable outcome is unchanged.
Problem:
`nvim_set_option_value` cannot "update" options similar to `:set opt=`,
`:set opt+=`, etc. The Lua impls of "vim.opt" / "vim.o" have incomplete,
bespoke reimplementations of those operations.
ref #38420
Solution:
- Add `operation` param to `nvim_set_option_value`, which may be "set",
"append", "prepend", or "remove".
- Use this feature to implement `vim.opt` / `vim.o`.
Problem:
`os.exit()` in `nvim -l` exits through normal teardown. But, as #39783 shows,
when it is called from a libuv callback, teardown polling the main loop
when inside `uv_run()` can trip the recursive poll guard and cause a crash.
Fast callbacks are not safe to teardown, so it's better to schedule an exit out
of a callback rather than convolutedly handle this as I tried before.
Solution:
Reject `os.exit()` from fast callbacks with `E5560` error.
Problem: due to totally async install/update/checkout there is no
guaranteed order of `PackChanged{Pre,}` events across different
plugins. This might lead to conflicts when callback for some "main"
plugin relies on features from "dependency" plugin: i.e. callback for
"main" plugin can trigger before installing/updating "dependency"
plugin. The installation order can be enforced by separate
vim.pack.add() calls, but update/checkout can not.
Solution: Trigger events in bulk independently of async execution:
- `PackChangedPre` before any action for all input plugins in order
they are supplied. It will also trigger even if an action will fail.
- `PackChanged` after all actions finished for all sucessfully
affected plugins in order they are supplied.
This also comes with a couple of side effect changes:
- `PackChangedPre kind=delete` is now also triggered even if the
delete won't be done. This makes it more aligned with `kind=install`
and `kind=update`.
- Force update (`:packupdate!`) and "udpate LSP action" now do two
async steps: download/compute updates and apply them. This also
results in two progress reports.
This is mostly a by-product of the implementation (there has to be
a pre-computation of target revision for all plugins before doing
`PackChangedPre` in bulk before possibly applying an update), but I
kind of like it more this way as it is more explicit of what's going
on. If absolutely not acceptable, there might be some hacks to
mitigate it at least in code action, but I'd keep it like this.
Problem:
dir.lua leaves previously-navigated directory buffers around.
This is fine by default, but users need a simple way to opt out.
Solution:
1. Respect `set hidden` (via `'bufhidden'`) as one way to make
previously-navigated dir buffers from showing up.
2. Document a one-liner to hide these buffers
Problem: plugin/shada.lua does not respect the `+` flag of 'cpoptions'
when writing a *.shada buffer into a different file.
Solution: Check the presence of `+` in 'cpoptions' and whether the
buffer is written to a different file in BufWriteCmd for
*.shada before resetting the 'modified' option of the buffer.
This little defect appeared after plugin/shada.vim was rewritten into
Lua in #34725.
Problem: Separation markers (%=) are ignored within item groups. This
lead to a regression when the C implementation of the statusline was
replaced with a default expression. When the user configured a custom
ruler expression with a %= and used the overloaded item group syntax to
set the ruler width, the separation marker worked in the ruler, but not
when the ruler was incorporated into the statusline where the item group
syntax was interpreted in the usual way.
Solution: Analogously to top-level behaviour, expand separation markers
evenly within item groups until `minwid` is reached (if set).

Problem: The recursion offset into the static `stl_items` was not taken
into account when adjusting the item count after truncation.
Steps to reproduce: first prepare `stl_items`:
set stl=%{%repeat('%#Error#',10)%}
then watch how the Error highlight leaks into the recursive call:
set stl=%l%l%l%{%nvim_eval_statusline('test%l%<',{'maxwidth':3,'highlights':1}).highlights%}
ref https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/32259
* fix(statusline): consistent truncation at multicell character
Problem 1: truncation of item groups at multicell character didn't take
into account that minwid can be specified as a negative number.
Problem 2: after truncation at top-level from the right at multicell
character, the returned width was always `maxwidth`, even though the
actual width was reduced. In vim, this can be observed as a statusline
that is not fully drawn until the edge of the screen:
vim --clean +"set ls=2 stl=%{%repeat('x',&columns-2)%}🙂x%<"
Problem 3: after truncation at top-level from the left at multicell
character, the resulting gap to reach `maxwidth` again was filled with
fillchars, but then the final NUL was not set correctly.
This can be seen in the following example, where the statuscolumn spills
into the editing area starting from line 10:
nvim --clean +"set number stc=%<x🙂%{repeat('x',43)}%l" +"norm yy10p"
Solution: fix the small errors and, at top-level, consistently reduce
the size instead of compensating with fillchars. In the case of the
statusline and the winbar, the remaining place is filled with the
configured fillchars in `win_redr_custom`, after `build_stl_str_hl` has
returned. In all other cases (title, icon, statuscol, tabline, ruler),
there seems to be no point in adding additional spaces at the end.
* feat(statusline)!: scope %< to item groups
Problem:
Previously, item groups were only truncated at the beginning, which is
often not desired. In the example
%.15(path: %f%)
the group's title/label is truncated away:
<th/to/file.txt
Truncation markers (%<) in item groups were processed at the top-level
in the end, which can be confusing. Only the first %< is used for the
whole string, and it is used even if the containing item group is
hidden. Additionally, in the case of hidden item groups, the marker's
position was not adapted. For example,
%(hidden%<%)%f
had the effect of truncating the path somewhere in the middle:
/path/<file.txt
Solution:
Make truncation consistent with top-level behaviour, which has a better
default of truncating at the first `Normal` item, i.e.
path: <file.txt
and allows for fine-grained control with truncation markers (%<). E.g.
%.15(path: %f%<%)
now yields
path: /path/to>
The original behaviour can be restored like so:
%.15(%<path: %f%)
BREAKING CHANGE: %< is no longer processed at top-level
- the default truncation behaviour has changed: now at first item
- truncation markers inside item groups don't affect truncation outside
of the item group anymore
- several truncation markers can now have an effect when separated with
item groups, whereas previously only the first one globally had

https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/40431#issuecomment-4811593353
'buflisted' useful for:
- "bufferline" style tablines, they usually show only listed buffers.
- some automatic actions can be conditioned on whether a buffer is
listed; 'buflisted' signals that the buffer is "important enough".
Solution:
Set 'buflisted'.
