vim-patch:9.2.0374: c_CTRL-{G,T} does not handle offset
Problem: c_CTRL-{G,T} does not handle offset, when cycling between
matches
Solution: Refactor parsing logic into parse_search_pattern_offset() and
handle offsets, note: highlighting does not handle offsets
yet (Barrett Ruth).

Problem: The "Scanning:" completion, bufwrite, and indent (there may be
more) messages which indicate progress can use the "progress" kind
for their msg_show event. Indent message does not have a kind.
Solution: Emit these messages with the "progress" kind. Set the message id
to the replaced kind so that a UI knows to replace it (and to provide
a migration path in case a UI was distinguishing these messages for
whatever reason).
Problem: fg_indexed/bg_indexed were dropped from nvim_get_hl output due
to a wrong short_keys guard. HL_FG_INDEXED also wasn't cleared in
hl_blend_attrs, and HLATTRS_DICT_SIZE was too small.
Solution: Remove the short_keys guard, clear HL_FG_INDEXED in
hl_blend_attrs, bump HLATTRS_DICT_SIZE to 24, and clarify docs that
these flags mean rgb is an approximation of the cterm palette index.
Problem:
- Unable to "pin" a window to prevent closing without specifically
being targeted.
- :fclose closes hidden windows (even before visible windows).
Solution:
- Add 'winpinned' window-local option. When set, window is skipped by
:fclose and :only. Pin the ui2 cmdline window (which should always be
visible), so that it is not closed by :only/fclose.
- Skip over hidden (and pinned) windows with :fclose.

Problem:
`api.nvim_buf_del_mark` already emits a `MarkSet` event with `col` and `line` set to 0. However, `:delmarks` currently emits no events.
Solution:
Change `:delmarks` to emit the same `col==line==0` event.
Problem:
No LuaLS types for event-data fields (ev.data). Types are only
documented ad hoc in scattered locations.
Solution:
Add runtime/lua/vim/_meta/events.lua defining vim.event.<name>.data
classes for events that provide ev.data. Reference the types from
each event's help in autocmd.txt, lsp.txt, and pack.txt.
Problem:
Too much boilerplate needed to use Lua to impl an excmd or f_xx
function.
Solution:
- Add `nlua_call_vimfn` which takes the args typval, executes
Lua, and returns a typval.
- refactor(excmd): lua impl for :log, :lsp
Problem:
- Builtin "Vimscript" functions (f_xx) are mostly implemented in C.
Partly that's because there is some boilerplate required to call out
to Lua.
- Calls to `vim.fn.foo()` always marshall over the Lua <=> Vimscript
("typval") bridge, even if `fn.foo()` is implemented entirely in Lua:
```
Lua => typval => Object => Lua => Object => typval => Lua.
```
Solution:
Functions declared in eval.lua with `func_lua` are implemented in
entirely in Lua (`_core/vimfn.lua`).
- `gen_eval.lua` wires `func_lua` entries to `lua_wrapper`, which handles
the typval conversion for Vimscript callers (slow path).
- `nlua_call()` detects `func_lua` functions and calls the Lua
implementation directly. This eliminates all conversion overhead for
Lua callers (fast path).
- Validate at build-time that `func`, `func_float`, and `func_lua` are
mutually exclusive.
- Migrate `hostname()` as a toy example, to show the idea.
Problem: Documentation based on patches is outdated.
Solution: Add changes to documentation in a patch.

Trailing space was removed in later patches.
Also fix a few more misplaced error numbers from #8155.

Problem:
Difficult for us to provide default handlers for functions like
`vim.lsp.buf.definition`. When users wanted to fine-tune the default behavior,
they don't know how.
Solution:
- Document an example providing `on_list` boilerplate to make it easier for
users to modify and override.
- Also, considering that the parameters of the previous
`on_list`(`vim.lsp.ListOpts.OnList`) are compatible with the parameters of
`setqflist`, remove that custom type in favor of passing
`vim.fn.setqflist.what`.
Problem:
- Choosing a new EXX error code is tedious.
- It's possible to accidentally use an EXX error code for different
purposes.
Solution:
Add a lint check which requires EXX error codes to have a :help tag.
This also avoids duplicates because `make doc` does `:helptags ++t doc`
which fails if duplicates are found.
Problem: Sometimes automatic lockfile synchronization after `:restart`
might fail, like due to bad/absent Internet connection. This would
remove failed to install entries from the lockfile (since they are not
on disk and lockfile is meant to lock the latest plugin version on
disk).
Solution: Document that this should be treated as an unwanted update and
use steps similar to "Revert plugin after an update" use case.
Problem: Using severity names (like "ERROR", "WARN") in functions like
`vim.diganostic.get()` and `vim.diagnostic.config()` is allowed and
tested for many years now. But documentation about it can be clearer.
Solution: Explicitly mention that severity names are allowed in some
situations. Ideally, it would also require updating typing for
`vim.diagnostic.SeverityFilter`, but that looks problematic to do
robustly.
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.

This commit renames positional parameters. This is only "cosmetic", but
is intended to make it extra clear which name is preferred, since people
often copy existing code despite the guidelines in `:help dev-naming`.
Problem:
To support `collapsedText`, which allows the LSP server to determine the
content of the foldtext, we provided `vim.lsp.foldtext()`. However, such
content does not have highlighting.
Solution
Treat the filetype of `collapsedText` as the filetype of the corresponding
buffer and use tree-sitter to highlight it.
In 3a4a66017b, 4d3a67cd62, df8d98173c we renamed "buffer" to "buf"
in dict parameters and return-values.

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.

Problem: The cursor shape is changed to indicate when it is behind an
unfocused floating window (since a2b92a5e). This behavior
cannot be controlled by a floating window that doesn't want
to dim the cursor.
Solution: Assign a zindex-offset of 50 to the zindex of the current
window. To not dim the cursor when creating a floating window
on top of the current window one can assign the zindex
accordingly.
Problem:
- Lots of redundant text in options docs for "not allowed in
a modeline", even though we already have a flag that indicates that.
- `deny_in_modelines` is an old vestigial flag only used by 'encoding'
(which never changes).
Solution:
- Generate docs based on the `secure` flag.
- Remove the `deny_in_modelines` flag (`kOptFlagNoML`).
Problem:
Neovim's Node.js provider does not support the Bun package manager.
PR #26829 attempted to add this but used a hardcoded path and was abandoned.
Solution:
- Use `bun pm bin -g` to dynamically locate the global binary directory.
- Update `health.lua` to recognize bun installations.
Problem:
If `'keywordprg'` begins with `:`, `3K` turns the count into an Ex
range. Commands that don't support that then fail. Vim passes the count
as the first arg (see #19436, vim/vim#10745).
Solution:
Pass `[count]` as the first arg for `'keywordprg'`.
Problem: hlgroup2dict passes &ns_id to ns_get_hl twice. The first call
(link=true) sets *ns_hl = 0 when link_global is set, so the second call
and the sg_cleared guard both see ns_id == 0 and bail out. The group is
silently dropped from the result.
Solution: use a temporary copy of ns_id for each ns_get_hl call so the
original value is preserved.
