Problem:
`:lsp restart` detects when a client has exited by using the `LspDetach`
autocommand. This works correctly in common cases, but breaks when
restarting a client which is not attached to any buffer. It also breaks
if a client is detached in between `:lsp restart` and the actual
stopping of the client.
Solution:
Move restart logic into `vim/lsp/client.lua`, so it can hook in to
`_on_exit()`. The public `on_exit` callback cannot be used for this, as
`:lsp restart` needs to ensure the restart only happens once, even if
the command is run multiple times on the same client.
Problem:
We want to encourage implementing core features in Lua instead of C, but
it's clumsy because:
- Core Lua code (built into `nvim` so it is available even if VIMRUNTIME
is missing/invalid) requires manually updating CMakeLists.txt, or
stuffing it into `_editor.lua`.
- Core Lua modules are not organized similar to C modules, `_editor.lua`
is getting too big.
Solution:
- Introduce `_core/` where core Lua code can live. All Lua modules added
there will automatically be included as bytecode in the `nvim` binary.
- Move these core modules into `_core/*`:
```
_defaults.lua
_editor.lua
_options.lua
_system.lua
shared.lua
```
TODO:
- Move `_extui/ => _core/ui2/`
Problem:
The execution of startup scripts in parent directories are too late
compared to scripts in current direcctory.
Solution:
Execute all startup scripts with `lua/_core/exrc.lua`.
closes: #35147
Fixes issue on mac where it was constantly reloading buffers as paths
were not being normalized and resolved correctly (in relation to buffer
name).
Quickfix entry:
/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue
Buffer name:
/private/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue
/var was synlinked to /private/var and this was not being properly
handled.
Also added lazy redraw to avoid too many redraws when this happens in
future and added test for symlink handling.

Problem:
Built-in diff mode (nvim -d) does not support directory diffing
as required by git difftool -d. This makes it difficult to compare
entire directories, detect renames, and navigate changes efficiently.
Solution:
Add a DiffTool plugin and command that enables side-by-side diffing of
files and directories in Neovim. The plugin supports rename detection,
highlights changes in the quickfix list, and provides a user command for
easy invocation. This allows proper integration with git difftool -d for
directory comparison.
Example git config:
```ini
[diff]
tool = nvim_difftool
[difftool "nvim_difftool"]
cmd = nvim -c "packadd nvim.difftool" -c "DiffTool $LOCAL $REMOTE"
```
