Problem:
The existing `showmode` overlay can immediately cover messages emitted while
Visual mode is active, including the `g CTRL-G` word count.
Solution:
Protect Visual mode messages with the existing message delay and temporarily
hide the previous last-line overlay until it is restored.

Solution:
Retry instead of hardcoding sleep(50).
Problem:
LSP hover erroneously drops blank lines before a 4-space-indented
codeblock, which is not valid Markdown. This causes incorrect parsing
and wrong display.
Solution:
Fix `split_lines` so that it doesn't drop the blank line just before
a 4-space-indented codeblock.

Problem:
A floating preview window (hover, signature help) converted to a normal
window (e.g. with CTRL-W_H or nvim_win_set_config()) is still closed by
the open_floating_preview() autocommands, and a later preview may focus
or close it as if it were still a float.
Solution:
When the preview window is no longer floating, remove its auto-close
autocommands and stop tracking it as the buffer's floating preview.
Closes#36659
Problems:
On Windows, `:w somedir` (where somedir is an existing directory
in pwd) shows the misleading `E13: File exists (add ! to override)`
instead of `E17: "somedir" is a directory`.
Solution:
drop unnecessary `#ifdef` guard.
Problem:
Mysterious Windows CI failure points to resource exhaustion, but we have
no visibility/instrumentation:

Solution:
Append the child exit-code and signal to the "EOF … crashed" message.
Example:
Nvim EOF (crash?) exit code: 42 (0x0000002A)
On the next failing Windows run, the first crash line will classify the failure:
- 0xC0000005 → access violation (nvim bug)
- 0xC0000374 → heap corruption (nvim bug)
- spawn/resource error or "clean" exit-code → system resource exhaustion
Problem:
nvim_create_autocmd() isn't |api-fast|, so modules that create autocmds
(e.g. vim.treesitter.query) can't be require()d in a fast event context.
Solution:
Mark it |api-fast|. Compile autocmd patterns with RE_NOBREAK so
aucmd_next() won't os_breakcheck() mid-iteration, where a fast
nvim_create_autocmd() could realloc the autocmds vector and dangle the
caller's AutoPat/AutoCmd.
RE_NOBREAK is low-risk because:
- aucmd_next()'s loop checks CTRL-C: `(for (… i < apc->ausize && !got_int; …)`.
- `line_breakcheck()` (`autocmd.c:1912`) runs once per matched autocmd.
- Each autocmd _execution_ runs through `do_cmdline`, which has its own
breakchecks.
However this does admit risk of a pathological case:
a catastrophic-backtracking glob matched against a very long `User`
event-pattern.

Float border highlight groups (FloatBorder, FloatTitle and FloatFooter)
fall back to Normal background highlight if no background color set.
Solution:
Combine border colors with window-local Normal highlight.
Fix#38330
Problems:
1. Can't get individual parts of a key-chord separately: modifiers, key.
2. Can't separate a key-combo into individual key-chords.
Solution:
Enhance `vim.keycode()` to optionally return a structured parse result
as a list of key-chords:
- `key_raw` the key-chord (problem 2)
- `mod` the modifiers of `key_raw` (problem 1)
- `key_orig` the key part of the key-chord, only here if differing from `key`
(this doesn't solve any of the above mentioned problems, but it may provide
useful and it's (in terms of code) free)
- `key` a normalized version of `key_orig` (solving problem 1), example(the
first is `key_orig` and second is `key`): `lt` and `<`, `Bar` and `|` (in
`<C-Bar>`)

Analysis:
The bell was asserted via the UI 'bell' event (screen.bell), but
vim_beep() rate-limits that to 3 per 500ms. These tests share one
long-lived session, so beeps from earlier tests could exhaust the window
and drop the asserted beep.
Solution:
Use assert_beeps()/assert_nobeep(), which check called_vim_beep (set
before the rate-limit gate).
Problem:
Sampling a transient busy=1 pulse is racy under load.
Solution:
Set a long debounce, assert the stable state, then use a short debounce
to let the reload clear it.
Problem: values from completionList.itemDefaults always replace the
item's own commitCharacters and data. Since 3.18 a server can ask for
them to be merged instead.
Solution: Handle CompletionList.applyKind and advertise applyKindSupport.
Drop itemDefaults once folded into the items: get_items() runs twice on
the same result and a Merge isn't idempotent.

Problem:
`nvim__ui_detach` was added in 85e0559d46 in order to implement
`detach_others` from Lua. Using Lua in this case is doing more harm than
good.
Solution:
Extract `ui_detach_channel`, which also allows it to be used for the
"self detach" path from `ex_detach`.
Bonus: the old MSWIN path always called `os_swap_to_hidden_console()`;
now `ui_detach_channel` only does so for a stdio channel. For the common
stdio TUI this is identical; for a socket UI it's more correct (no
parent console to swap).
Problem:
Expanding an unknown ~user path falls back to the shell. In a fast event,
this re-enters the event loop and aborts Nvim.
Solution:
Leave unknown users unexpanded when the system account lookup fails.
Problem:
Third-party directory browsers do not have a documented way to take over local
directory buffers from nvim.dir.
Solution:
Document deleting the nvim.dir augroup and handling FileType directory as the
after-startup handoff, and avoid installing the built-in buffer-local "-" mapping
when "-" is already mapped.
The poke_eventloop() and screen:expect() sometimes don't run the test
runner's event loop long enough for the data to arrive at the reading
end of the pipe. Use a screen:expect_unchanged() so that the event loop
can run a bit longer.

Problem: #40731 may still crash if close_buffer autocmds reinsert the float's
grid. Plus removing the grid (and posting win_close) is unneeded if
win_close_othertab refuses to close the window later, which is possible.
Solution: do the stuff before freeing the window, like win_close.
Problem: LSP completion commitCharacters are not handled. Typing a
commit character (e.g. `.`, `(`, `;`) while a completion item is
selected does not accept the item first.
Solution: Store commit characters as a flat string in complete-items.
Check it before completion stops, accept the match and let
the character be inserted normally.
Problem: Closing a floating window from a non-current tab frees its grid
without removing it from the compositor's `layers` table, so the next
`ui_comp_put_grid()` walks a dangling pointer (UAF).
Solution: Call `ui_comp_remove_grid()` (and `ui_call_win_close()` for
multigrid UIs) before `win_free_mem()`, matching `win_close()` since
PR #21551.
Problem:
- No UI for listing extmarks.
- `:marks` doesn't support cmdline-completion.
Solution:
- Add completion and extmarks support to `:marks`.
- Update `get_buf_local_marks` to include the ":" (prompt-buffer) mark.
Problem:
Vimscript ftplugins that inherit a base ftplugin often use explicit
`runtime! ftplugin/foo.vim` patterns. This skips corresponding Lua
ftplugins, unlike top-level ftplugin loading.
Solution:
Use the existing `{vim,lua}` patterns for bang runtime imports while
preserving each call's current lookup breadth.
Problem:
This functions are most likely never used in the wild.
- They are redundant with `nvim_get_context` + `nvim_load_context`.
- The "context" concept was never fully developed and hasn't gained
traction.
Solution:
Drop these vimscript aliases, they are just extra cruft.
Problem:
`FileType directory` fires *before* the `BufEnter` path where `dir.lua`
populates the buffer, in order to allow a 3P dir-browser plugin to handle the
event and (optionally) rename the buffer to e.g. `example:///tmp/foo/`.
But currently, `open_buffer()` continues after `filetypedetect BufRead` as if
the original directory buffer is *still* current and valid, which may fall
through to the built-in `nvim.dir` path after a 3P plugin ALREADY handled the
directory.
Solution:
Keep a buf ref around the early `filetypedetect BufRead` call for directory
buffers.
If the `FileType directory` handler switches away from/deletes the original
directory buffer, stop the open path instead of continuing into the built-in
`nvim.dir` flow.
Problem:
After 25439dad7e, `opts` is optional, but not params that follow it.
Solution:
- Update `gen_api_dispatch.lua`, docs, tests.
- Enhance the `nvim_get_api_info()` api-metadata to include a boolean
flag indicating whether a parameter is optional:
```
[type, name, optional]
```
Note: Currently, optional params are assumed to be Dict/Array. Since we
don't yet have any use-cases of optional params following `opts`, the
build just checks this assumption and we can deal with it later if we
ever care to:
nvim_get_hl: optional param "foo" has type "Integer" but (currently)
we assume Dict/Array

Problem:
|api-contract| allows adding an optional trailing `opts` parameter, but
the dispatch generator still requires every parameter, so `opts` cannot
be omitted.
Solution:
Treat a trailing `Dict(...) *opts` parameter as optional in the generated
RPC and Lua dispatch wrappers.

Problem:
A successful `BufReadCmd` can leave an existing `filetype` without
rerunning its `FileType` setup, so state cleared during reload may not
be restored.
This also causes `:edit`/reload syntax `directoryDirectory` groups to
not be reapplied.
Solution:
After `BufReadCmd` handles a read, trigger `FileType` for the existing
`filetype` if no `FileType` event fired during the read.
