feat(api): rename buffer to buf
Problem:
`:help dev-name-common` states that "buf" should be used instead of
"buffer" but there are cases where buffer is mentioned in the lua API.
Solution:
- Rename occurrences of "buffer" to "buf" for consistency with the
documentation.
- Support (but deprecate) "buffer" for backwards compatibility.

Problem:
Since 2f6d1d3c88, `apply_text_edits`
unconditionally sets `buflisted=true`, causing spurious BufDelete events
if plugins restore the original 'buflisted' state on unlisted buffers:
65ef6cec1c/src/nvim/option.c (L2159-L2169)
Solution:
- Don't set 'buflisted' in `apply_text_edits`. Set it more narrowly, in
`apply_workspace_edit` where the semantics requires affected buffers
to be visible to the user.
- Also skip setting 'buflisted' if it would not be changed, to avoid
redundant `OptionSet` events.

fix(health): misleading warnings re filetypes registered w/ vim.filetype.add() #38867
Problem:
`:checkhealth vim.lsp` validates configured filetypes against
`getcompletion('', 'filetype')`. This only reflects runtime support
files.
This causes false warnings in `:checkhealth vim.lsp` for configured
filetypes that are known to the Lua filetype registry, including
values added with `vim.filetype.add()` and built-in registry-only
filetypes.
Solution:
Build the healthcheck's known-filetype set from both
`getcompletion('', 'filetype')` and `vim.filetype.inspect()`.

Problem:
The current LSP diagnostic implementation can't differ between a pull
diagnostic with no identifier and a set of diagnostics provided via push
diagnostics.
"Anonymous pull providers" are expected by the protocol https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#diagnosticOptions
, depending on how the capability was registered:
- Dynamic registrations have an identifier.
- Static registrations will not.
Solution:
Restore the `is_pull` argument removed in
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/37938, keeping the identifier of
pull diagnostic collections.

Problem: `buf` is optional even though its needed to perform conversions
and the ordering of `(buf, row, col)` is not consistent.
Solution: make `buf` mandatory on `vim.range` and `vim.pos` and enforce
the `buf, row, col` ordering
(cherry picked from commit 01be30f638)
Problem:
The snippet preview is not being highlighted by treesitter for
completion items from servers which don't support
`completionItem/resolve` (like gopls). This was broken by #38428.
Solution:
Call `update_popup_window` after updating the completion item with the
snippet preview.
I've added assertions to the `selecting an item triggers
completionItem/resolve + (snippet) preview` test case which covers the
snippet preview being shown since no tests failed when I removed the
`nvim__complete_set` call which actually populates the preview on this
codepath.
Problem:
Using nested `vim.Pos` objects to represent each `vim.Range` object
requires 3 tables for each `vim.Range`, which may be undesirable in
performance critical code. Using key-value tables performs worse than
using array-like tables (lists).
Solution:
Use array-like indices for the internal fields of both `vim.Pos` and
`vim.Range` objects. Use a metatable to allow users to access them like
if they were key-value tables.
---
Problem:
The `vim.Pos` conversion interface for `extmark` indexing does not take
into account the difference in how a position on top of a newline is
represented in `vim.Pos` and `extmark`.
- `vim.Pos`: for a newline at the end of row `n`, `row` takes the value
`n + 1` and `col` takes the value `0`.
- `extmark`: for a newline at the end of for `n`, `row` takes the value
`n` and `col` takes the value `#row_text`.
Solution:
Handle this in the `extmark` interface.
---
Problem:
Not all `to_xxx` interfaces have wrapping objects like `to_lsp`.
Solution:
Return unwrapped values in `to_xxx` interfaces where it makes sense.
Accept unwrapped values in "from" interfaces where it makes sense.
---
Problem:
`start` and `end` positions have different semantics, so they can't be
compared. `vim.Range` relies on comparing the `end` and `start` of two
ranges to decide which one is greater, which doesn't work as expected
because this of the different semantics.
For example, for the ranges:
local a = {
start = { row = 0, col = 22, },
end_ = { row = 0, col = 24, },
}
local b = {
start = { row = 0, col = 17, },
end_ = { row = 0, col = 22, },
}
in this code:
local foo, bar = "foo", "bar"
-- |---||-|
-- b a
The range `b` is smaller than the range `a`, but the current
implementation compares `b._end` (`col = 22`) and `a.start` (`col = 22`)
and concludes that, since `b.col` is not smaller than `a.col`, `b`
should be greater than `a`.
Solution:
- Use a `to_inclusive_pos` to normalize end positions inside of
`vim.Range` whenever a comparison between a start and an end position
is necessary.
Problem:
When following this example from our docs the Copilot LSP won't attach.
Solution:
Add `init_options` as done by [`nvim-lspconfig`](1a6d692067/lsp/copilot.lua (L112-L121)).
Problem: clangd prepends a space/bullet indicator to label. With
labelDetailsSupport enabled, the signature moves to labelDetails,
making label shorter. This flips the length comparison in
get_completion_word, causing it to use item.label directly and
insert the indicator into the buffer.
Solution: only prefer filterText over label when label starts with non-keyword
character in get_completion_word fallback branch.
Problem: Generating snippet preview in get_doc() populated the
documentation field before resolve, so the resolve request was
never sent.
Solution: Move snippet preview logic into on_completechanged and
the resolve callback so it no longer blocks the resolve request.
Problem: Default swatch unicode character got lost.
Solution: Put it back where it belongs.

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:
f9b2189b28 started using namespaces
for pull diagnostics that look like this `<id>:<identifier>`.
`vim.lsp.buf.codeaction` passes `true` instead of an identifier
to `vim.lsp.diagnostic.get_namespace`, resulting in a namespace that
looks like `<id>:nil`. The end result is that none of the diagnostics are
passed to `textDocument/codeAction` request. Because of that server
might not send any code actions back. For example, eslint lsp responds
with an empty list of actions if it receives no diagnostics.
Solution:
use `_provider_foreach` to collect diagnostics from all `identifiers`
and use that identifier to get a namespace instead of `true`.
If a user accepts completion and immediately exits insert mode, it
could happen that `Context.cursor` was nil by the time the
`completion/resolve` response arrives, leading to an error.
Problem
The format of LSP log messages is inconsistent; some include underscores, while others are not logged at all.
Solution
Standardize log recording and unify the log message prefixes with the module names.
Problem:
The capability attach path for client/registerCapability can initialize a capability even when the capability was only registered in specific buffers
Solution:
Check supports_method() before attaching capabilities from the dynamic registration handler so unsupported registrations are ignored.
AI-assisted: OpenCode
- Add TODO comments for aggregating diagnostics from all pull namespaces
and for clearing diagnostics when an empty array is received, referencing
the LSP specification.
- Update diagnostics refresh logic to safely access previousResultId,
preventing potential nil errors.
Previously, resultId for diagnostics was keyed only by client_id, which
could cause issues when multiple identifiers are used by the same client.
This change introduces a composite key of client_id and identifier for
client_result_id, ensuring correct tracking of diagnostic results per
identifier. Updates all relevant logic to use the new keying scheme.
Previously, the LSP client assumed all providers had subcapabilities,
which could cause issues when a provider did not. This change adds a
check for the presence of subcapabilities before attempting to access
them, ensuring correct handling of both cases. This improves
compatibility with servers that register providers without additional
capabilities.
Update diagnostic refresh to request diagnostics from all provider
registrations using _provider_foreach. This ensures diagnostics are
fetched from every registered provider during a refresh.

Introduce _provider_foreach to iterate over all matching provider
capabilities for a given LSP method, handling both static and dynamic
registrations. Update diagnostic logic and tests to use the new
iteration approach, simplifying capability access and improving
consistency across features.
Problem:
`vim.lsp.document_color.color_presentation()` throws, due to incorrect use of the `vim.Range` API.
Solution:
Change `vim.Range.has(a, b)` call to `a:has(b)`.
Problem:
When code lens is enabled, `on_attach` is executed, but it does not trigger a redraw. Another event, eg, moving the cursor, is required to trigger a redraw and execute the decoration provider's `on_win`.
Solution:
Trigger a `redraw` after each request is completed.
Problem:
Completion preview always assumes plain text, ignoring LSP documentation "kind".
Solution:
Pass markup kind from completion item to info window, or fallback to PlainText.
Problem: `get_doc` throws error with "attempt to get length of a userdata
value" when `item.documentation` is truthy but not a string (e.g. vim.NIL
from a JSON null).
Solution: Check `type(item.documentation)` before taking its length.
refactor(lua): add integer coercion helpers
Add vim._tointeger() and vim._ensure_integer(), including optional base
support, and switch integer-only tonumber()/assert call sites in the Lua
runtime to use them.
This also cleans up related integer parsing in LSP, health, loader, URI,
tohtml, and Treesitter code.

Problem:
In autocmd examples, using "args" as the event-object name is vague and
may be confused with a user-command.
Solution:
Use "ev" as the conventional event-object name.
Problem:
No completionItem/resolve handler.
Solution:
If completeopt=popup is set, invoke completionItem/resolve when
a completion item is selected. Show resolved documentation in popup next
to the completion menu.
Problem
The logic that clears codelenses beyond the buffer also removes the codelenses on the last line.
Solution
Do not clear the codelens on the last line.
