Problem:
The callback passed to `vim.wait` cannot return results directly, it
must set upvalues or globals.
local rv1, rv2, rv3
local ok = vim.wait(200, function()
rv1, rv2, rv3 = 'a', 42, { ok = { 'yes' } }
return true
end)
Solution:
Let the callback return values after the first "status" result.
local ok, rv1, rv2, rv3 = vim.wait(200, function()
return true, 'a', 42, { ok = { 'yes' } }
end)
Problem:
Neovim binaries are not provided for Windows ARM64.
GitHub Actions now offer native CI runners for Windows on ARM devices
(windows-11-arm), enabling automated builds and testing.
Solution:
- Modified CMake packaging to include packaging windows on arm binaries.
- Modified env script to install and initialize vs setup for arm64 arch.

Problem:
`msg_show` has "progress" info (title, status, percent) which is not presented
by default.
Solution:
Format TUI messages as `{title}: {msg}...{percent}%`. This also gets sent to UI.
- With specific formatting sent to UI we can remove the `progress` item from
`msg_show` event. It can be added if needed in the future. Also, having
a default presentation makes the feature more useful.
- For `vim._extui` we just need to implement the replace-msg-with-same-id
behavior.
- If any UI/plugin wants to do anything fancier, they can handle the `Progress`
event.

Problem: potential buffer overrun in bufwrite.c
Solution: Use a temporary variable (John Marriott)
In my Windows 11 Pro 64-bit build MAXPATHL is 1024 and IOSIZE is 1025.
In my Archlinux Linux 64-bit build MAXPATHL is 4096 and IOSIZE is 1025.
In funuction buf_write():
There is a check (line 713) that makes sure the length of fname is less
than MAXPATHL. There is a call to STRCPY() (line 1208) which copies the
string at fname into IObuff (which has size IOSIZE). For Unix builds
fname is set to sfname which may or may not be shorter. However, if
sfname is NULL sfname is set to fname.
Therefore, in builds where MAXPATHL > IOSIZE (eg in my linux build), it
is theoretically possible for the STRCPY() call to exceed the bounds of
IObuff.
This PR addresses this by copying fname into a local variable that has
the same maximum size as fname.
In addition:
Given that the filename is unconditionally overwritten in the for loop,
only copy the directory portion of fname. Move variable i closer to
where it is used.
