Problem: Since 48e2a736, prompt messages are handled by an actual
active cmdline, resulting in `State` no longer being equal
to `MODE_CONFIRM` which is used in some places. E.g. to
specify the current `mode()` or to re-emit a confirm message.
Solution: Replace `MODE_CONFIRM` with a new `MODE_CMDLINE` sub-mode when
`ccline.one_key/mouse_used` is set. Use it to avoid clearing
mouse_used prompt messages, and to re-emit one_key messages
(when ext_messages is inactive, for which this is unnecessary).
Problem:
- nvim_parse_cmd('copen', {}) returns count: 0, causing nvim_cmd to override default behavior
- nvim_cmd({cmd = 'copen', args = {10}}, {}) fails with "Wrong number of arguments"
Solution:
- Only include count field in parse result when explicitly provided or non-zero
- Interpret single numeric argument as count for count-only commands like copen
Problem: nvim_create_user_command() Lua callbacks were missing the documented nargs field in the options table passed to the callback function.
Solution: Add nargs field derivation from command argument type flags in nlua_do_ucmd(), using the same logic as nvim_parse_cmd().
Problem: [security]: Possible to open more windows into a closing
buffer without splitting, bypassing existing "b_locked_split"
checks and triggering use-after-free
Solution: Disallow switching to a closing buffer. Editing a closing
buffer (via ":edit", etc.) was fixed in v9.1.0764, but add an
error message and check just "b_locked_split", as "b_locked"
is necessary only when the buffer shouldn't be wiped, and may
be set for buffers that are in-use but not actually closing.

NEW BUILD SYSTEM!
This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary,
including cross-compilation for some targets.
As an example, you can build a aarch64-macos binary from
an x86-64-linux-gnu host, or vice versa
Add CI target for build.zig currently for functionaltests on linux
x86_64 only
Follow up items:
- praxis for version and dependency bumping
- windows 💀
- full integration of libintl and gettext (or a desicion not to)
- update help and API metadata files
- installation into a $PREFIX
- more tests and linters
Problem:
nvim_parse_cmd returns invalid 'range' field for cmd like `:bdelete`.
Solution:
Add the condtion `ea.add_count > 0` as required to put 'range'
into result.

Problem: When iterating in reverse with {start} > {end} in
`nvim_buf_get_extmarks()`, marks that overlap {start} and are
greater than {end} are included in the return value twice.
Marks that overlap {end} and do not overlap {start} are not
not included in the return value at all. Marks are not
actually returned in a meaningful "traversal order".
Solution: Rather than actually iterating in reverse, (also possible but
requires convoluted conditions and would require fetching
overlapping marks for both the {start} and {end} position,
while still ending up with non-traversal ordered marks),
iterate normally and reverse the return value.
Problem:
Default 'statusline' is implemented in C and not representable as
a statusline expression. This makes it hard for user configs/plugins to
extend it.
Solution:
- Change the default 'statusline' slightly to a statusline expression.
- Remove the C implementation.
Useful to e.g. limit the height to the window height, avoiding unnecessary
work. Or to find out how many buffer lines beyond "start_row" take up a
certain number of logical lines (returned in "end_row" and "end_vcol").
Problem: When `nvim_set_keymap` tries to overwrite a `<unique>` mapping,
it throws an error even when called in `pcall`.
Solution: src/nvim/mapping.c:buf_do_map no longer calls `semsg`. Its
callers now decide whether to ignore the error, or use
`semsg` (not caught)/`api_set_error` (caught by `pcall`).
When setting a keymap with "unique" that already exists the error
message contains the LHS of the keymap with termcodes replaced. In
particular this means that keys like <Tab> show as an actual tab
character, meaning the error message displays as "Mapping already exists
for ", which is hard to debug for users.
Instead, display the original LHS (without any simplification or parsed
termcodes). This rperesents exactly what the user passed to the `lhs`
argument of `nvim_set_keymap`, which makes it easier to find where the
offending keymap is.
Problem
Pasting a big string ("streamed paste" with multiple chunks) sets the '[
mark to the edit from the last chunk, instead of the start of the paste.
Solution:
Set the '[ mark where the paste started, not where the last chunk was
inserted.
Note: `startpos == nil` is not equal to `phase == 1` because there may
be some empty chunks pasted which won't arrive here (returned at code
before).
Problem: Reconfiguring a float window applies the global 'winborder'.
Solution:
- Ignore 'winborder' when reconfiguring a float window.
- Still apply 'winborder' when converting a split to a float window.
Problem: Sourcing buffer lines is too complicated.
Solution: Simplify the code. Make it possible to source Vim9 script lines.

This commit changes the behavior of sourcing buffer lines to always have
a script ID, although sourcing the same buffer always produces the same
script ID.
vim-patch:9.1.0372: Calling CLEAR_FIELD() on the same struct twice
Problem: Calling CLEAR_FIELD() on the same struct twice.
Solution: Remove the second CLEAR_FIELD(). Move the assignment of
cookie.sourceing_lnum (zeertzjq).

Problem: `get_option_value` returns caller owned `Object`s but the
corresponding C apis do not marked `FUNC_API_RET_ALLOC` properly.
Solution: add `FUNC_API_RET_ALLOC` to the C apis.
Problem: Combined highlighting was not applied to nvim_eval_statusline(),
and 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Solution: Add an additional `groups` element to the return value of
`nvim_eval_statusline()->highlights`. This is an array of stacked
highlight groups (highest priority last). Also resolve combined
highlights for the 'statuscolumn' sign segment/numhl highlights.
Expose/synchronize some drawline.c logic that is now mimicked in
three different places.
On master (and also before #31539) closing a window could cause the
used wininfo for a buffer to change. This is due to always removing the
previous NULL wininfo when deleting a window, even if that wininfo had
higher priority than the the deleted window's own wininfo.
Instead delete the wininfo with lowest priority. This retains the memory
saving efect while not affecting the effective value of window options
and so on.
Problem:
The `nvim_notify` API (note: unrelated to `vim.notify()` Lua API) was
not given any real motivation in https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/13843
There are, and were, idiomatic and ergonomic alternatives already.
Solution:
Deprecate `nvim_notify`.
Problem: We want to deprecate `nvim_err_write(ln)()` but there is no
obvious replacement (from Lua). Meanwhile we already have
`nvim_echo()` with an `opts` argument.
Solution: Add `err` argument to `nvim_echo()` that directly maps to
`:echoerr`.
Problem:
- `n.spawn()` is misleading because it also connects RPC, it's not just
"spawning" a process.
- It's confusing that `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_argv()` are separate.
Solution:
- Replace `n.spawn()`/`n.spawn_argv()` with a single function `n.new_session()`.
This name aligns with the existing functions `n.set_session`/`n.get_session`.
- Note: removes direct handling of `prepend_argv`, but I doubt that was
important or intentional. If callers want to control use of `prepend_argv`
then we should add a new flag to `test.session.Opts`.
- Move `keep` to first parameter of `n.new_session()`.
- Add a `merge` flag to `test.session.Opts`
- Mark `_new_argv()` as private. Test should use clear/new_session/spawn_wait
instead.
Problem:
`nvim__redraw()` doesn't clamp the lines in the `range` parameter before truncating to int. The resulting range may be empty when the original range contained buffer lines and vice versa.
E.g. for a buffer with 4 lines, these are the redrawn lines:
```lua
{ 2, 2 ^ 31 } -> none (should be { 2, 3 })
{ 2, 2 ^ 32 } -> none (should be { 2, 3 })
{ 2 ^ 32 - 1, 2 } -> { 0, 1 } (should be none)
```
Solution:
Clamp `range` values before truncating to int.
Problem:
`termopen` has long been a superficial wrapper around `jobstart`, and
has no real purpose. Also, `vim.system` and `nvim_open_term` presumably
will replace all features of `jobstart` and `termopen`, so centralizing
the logic will help with that.
Solution:
- Introduce `eval/deprecated.c`, where all deprecated eval funcs will live.
- Introduce "term" flag of `jobstart`.
- Deprecate `termopen`.
When a terminal application running inside the terminal emulator sets
the cursor shape or blink status of the cursor, update the cursor in the
parent terminal to match.
This removes the "virtual cursor" that has been in use by the terminal
emulator since the beginning. The original rationale for using the
virtual cursor was to avoid having to support additional UI methods to
change the cursor color for other (non-TUI) UIs, instead relying on the
TermCursor and TermCursorNC highlight groups.
The TermCursor highlight group is now used in the default 'guicursor'
value, which has a new entry for Terminal mode. However, the
TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported: since terminal
windows now use the real cursor, when the window is not focused there is
no cursor displayed in the window at all, so there is nothing to
highlight. Users can still use the StatusLineTermNC highlight group to
differentiate non-focused terminal windows.
BREAKING CHANGE: The TermCursorNC highlight group is no longer supported.
Problem:
- API functions using `try_start` directly, do not surface the
underlying error message, and instead show generic messages.
- Error-handling code is duplicated in the API impl.
- Failure modes are not tested.
Solution:
- Use `TRY_WRAP`.
- Add tests.
Problem:
- API functions using `try_start` directly instead of `TRY_WRAP`, do not
surface the underlying error message, and instead show generic things
like "Failed to set buffer".
- Error handling code is duplicated in the API impl, instead of
delegating to the vim buffer/window handling logic.
Solution:
- Use `TRY_WRAP`.
Problem:
Since e049c6e4c0, most statusline-like UI elements can combine
highlight attrs, except for sign/statuscolumn.
Solution:
Implement for sign/statuscolumn.
Problem: In an autocommand Lua callback whether `args.file` is expanded
depends on whether `expand('<afile>')` has been called.
Solution: Always use the unexpanded file name for `args.file`.
Related to #31306 and vim/vim#16106. This doesn't provide `sfname`, but
at least makes `args.file` have a consistent value.
Problem: Marks that are properly restored by the splice associated with
an undo edit, are unnecessarily pushed to the undo header. This
results in incorrect mark tracking in the "copy_only"
save/restore completion path.
Solution: Avoid pushing left gravity marks at the beginning of the range,
and right gravity marks at the end of the range to the undo
header.
