Problem:
Visual selection could end up in the wrong place after
nvim_buf_set_text or nvim_buf_set_lines. In some delete cases,
Visual.lnum was already clamped before the line shift happened, so the
adjustment got skipped.
Solution:
Split fix_cursor_cols into reusable fix_pos_col logic and reuse it
for Visual updates. Also adjust Visual.lnum before changed_lines so
the shift uses the original position before final clamping.

Problem:
During startup, we manually trigger a useless and misleading `OptionSet`
event, which doesn't set `v:option_*` values (this is a limitation of
`nvim_exec_autocmds`).
ad4bc2d90c/runtime/lua/vim/_core/defaults.lua (L939).
Solution:
The `nvim_exec_autocmds('OptionSet',…)` call does not serve any purpose
since 5cbb9d613b, so just drop it.
Problem:
After closing and reopening Neovim, ]' and [' fail with E92: Buffer 0
not found for marks restored from ShaDa. Direct jumps like 'a work
because mark_get_local() rewrites fnum before returning, but ]' uses
getnextmark() which does not, leaving fnum = 0.
Solution:
Set .fnum = buf->b_fnum when restoring local marks from ShaDa.

Problem:
When using prompt_appendbuf with multi-element list,

Problem: The four pointer-resolution loops in u_read_undo() lack
an i != j guard, so a header whose uh_next.seq equals
its own uh_seq resolves uh_next.ptr to itself. On
buffer close, u_freeheader() sees uhp->uh_next.ptr !=
NULL and skips updating b_u_oldhead, so u_blockfree()
dereferences the freed header on the next iteration.
The same pattern applies to uh_prev, uh_alt_next and
uh_alt_prev. A crafted .un~ file in the same directory
as a text file can trigger the use-after-free and
subsequent double-free when the buffer is closed.
(Daniel Cervera)
Solution: Add an i != j guard to each of the four resolution
loops, matching the guard already present in the
duplicate-detection loop above.

(cherry picked from commit ffe87d91f7)
Problem:
When `:!` writes shell output to a buffer, write_output() splits on `\r`, `\n`,
and `\r\n`, replacing the terminator byte with NUL. For a binary-mode buffer
this is wrong: `\r` should be preserved verbatim, not treated as a line
terminator. This wrong behavior causes a file like `\r\n` round-trips through
`:%!cat` to `\n`.
This was masked when 'shelltemp' was enabled, because output went through a temp
file and the regular file I/O path handled binary-mode correctly. Switching the
default to 'noshelltemp' exposed the bug, since output is now piped directly
into write_output().
Solution:
In `write_output()`, skip the `\r` and `\r\n` splits for a binary-mode buffer;
only split on `\n`.

feat(tui): restore 'ttyfast' to control tty requests
Problem:
When running nvim on a remote machine over SSH, if there is high ping,
then bg detection may not complete in time. This results in a warning
every time nvim is started. #38648
Solution:
Restore 'ttyfast' option and allow it to control whether or not bg
detection is performed. Because this is during startup and before any
user config or commands, we use the environment variable
`NVIM_NOTTYFAST` to allow disabling `ttyfast` during initialization.

Problem: read_compound() in spellfile.c computes the size of the regex
pattern buffer using signed-int arithmetic on the attacker
controlled SN_COMPOUND sectionlen. With sectionlen=0x40000008
and UTF-8 encoding active the multiplication wraps to 27 while
the per-byte loop writes up to ~1B bytes, overflowing the heap.
Reachable when loading a crafted .spl file (e.g. via 'set spell'
after a modeline sets 'spelllang'). The cp/ap/crp allocations
have the same int + 1 overflow class (Daniel Cervera)
Solution: Use type size_t as buffer size and reject values larger than
COMPOUND_MAX_LEN (100000). Apply the same size_t treatment to
the cp/ap/crp allocations.

Problem:
Linter missed backtick and double-quote keynames in the quasi-keyset of
the `nvim_create_user_command` docstring.
Solution:
Update the linter to check backtick-surrounded and quote-surrounded key
names.
Problem:
parser_gc() calls ts_parser_delete() but leaves the userdata pointer
pointing to freed memory. If the GC finalizer runs at an unexpected time
(e.g. inside nvim_buf_get_lines #39411), a stale pointer could cause a crash.
Solution:
- NULL out `*ud` after ts_parser_delete() in parser_gc()
- Update parser_check() to handle NULL with a clear error message,
guarding all parser methods against UAF

(cherry picked from commit 1fd82615b1)
Problem: When closing gvim with an unsaved unnamed buffer, choosing
"Yes" in the "Save changes?" dialog and then "Cancel" in the
file selection dialog either silently writes the buffer to a
file named "Untitled" (overwriting any existing file with
that name) or discards the buffer altogether
(vibs29, after v9.1.0265).
Solution: In dialog_changed(), if browse_save_fname() leaves the buffer
without a file name, treat it as a cancel and return without
saving. Also stop clearing the modified flag in the restore
path on write failure, so the unsaved changes are kept and
the caller (e.g. gui_shell_closed()) can also cancel the
close. Pre-fill the file dialog with "Untitled" to match
the preceding "Save changes to ..." prompt. Add a test for
the write-failure path (Hirohito Higashi).

(cherry picked from commit b06f8b174f)
Problem: When an error line in a file passed to :cfile / :cgetfile is
longer than IOSIZE, qf_parse_file_pfx() copies the tail
into the fixed-size IObuff with STRMOVE(), overflowing the heap buffer.
The same code path can also loop indefinitely because
qf_parse_file_pfx() always returns QF_MULTISCAN when a
tail is present, and qf_init_ext() unconditionally goes
to "restofline" without bounding the tail length (Nabih).
Solution: Remove the STRMOVE() into IObuff. In the QF_MULTISCAN
branch, alias linebuf into the tail directly and update
linelen, requiring strict progress (new length less than
the previous length) before retrying; otherwise ignore
the line.

fix(lsp): send didClose, didOpen when languageId changes
Problem:
If a buffer's filetype changes after the LSP client has already
attached (e.g. from json to jsonc via a modeline), but the client
supports both filetypes, it stays attached. It does not notify the
server of the new languageId, causing the server to incorrectly process
the file using the old languageId.
Solution:
Save the languageId used during textDocument/didOpen, and send
textDocument/didClose + textDocument/didOpen when buffer's languageId
changed.
Lsp spec:
0003fb53f1/_specifications/lsp/3.18/textDocument/didOpen.md (L5)
> If the language id of a document changes, the client
> needs to send a textDocument/didClose to the server followed by a
> textDocument/didOpen with the new language id if the server handles
> the new language id as well.

Problem:
`v:starttime`, `:uptime` use a monotonic high-resolution timer. This
only works as long as the timer keeps running (if the computer is
suspended the timer is paused). This is somewhat unintuitive, and
doesn't match the behavior of the `uptime` shell command.
Solution:
Implement `os_realtime` to get the real time since the
epoch in nanoseconds.
Spell decorations from other lines aren't relevant to the current line.
Also, decor_redraw_col() can only go forward, while spell navigation
needs to go both forward and backward.

markdown lists within a docstring).

Problem: missing bound-checks
Solution: Add defensive guards against potential buffer overflow
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Add bounds checking and integer overflow guards across multiple files
as a defensive measure. While these code paths are unlikely to be
exploitable in practice, the guards prevent undefined behavior in
edge cases.
- libvterm/vterm.c: use heap tmpbuffer instead of stack buffer in
vsprintf() fallback path
- channel.c: validate len in channel_consume() before mch_memmove()
- spell.c: use long instead of int for addlen to avoid signed overflow
in size_t subtraction
- alloc.c: add SIZE_MAX overflow check in ga_grow_inner() before
itemsize multiplication
- list.c: add overflow check before count * sizeof(listitem_T)
- popupwin.c: add overflow check before width * height allocation
- insexpand.c: add overflow check before compl_num_bests multiplication
- regexp_bt.c: replace sprintf() with vim_snprintf() in regprop()
- spellfile.c: use SIZE_MAX instead of LONG_MAX for allocation overflow
