Uses the undocumented "error_exit" UI event for a different purpose:
When :detach is used on the server, send an "error_exit" with 0 `status`
to indicate that the server shouldn't wait for client exit.
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
fix(api): ensure win_get_config() is reciprocal
Problem: win_get_config() does not include a 'none' border field,
causing nvim_open_win() to apply the 'winborder' value.
Solution: Include a 'none' border field in the returned config,
such that it can be used reciprocally in nvim_open_win()
to yield the same window layout.
Problem: "win" is cleared in float config after 96330843, even with
unchanged "relative".
Solution: Don't clear "win". Avoid erroring for deleted "win" by setting
the parent win to curwin directly when "win" is zero or not
present in config.
Problem: Unable to change the "relative" of a flag after its target
"win" no longer exists.
Solution: Unset target window if it is not present in config and
reconfigured "relative" no longer expects a target window.
Problem:
Developing/troubleshooting plugins has friction because "restarting"
Nvim requires quitting and manually starting again. #32484
Solution:
- Implement a `:restart` command which emits `restart` UI event.
- Handle the `restart` UI event in the builtin TUI client: stop the
`nvim --embed` server, start a new one, and attach to it.
Problem: Unable to emit a message with arbitrary kind.
Solution: Add a "kind" opts field to nvim_echo().
Use it to set the "list_cmd" kind for vim.show_pos().
Problem: Consecutive "msg_show" events stemming from an `:echon`
command are supposed to be appended without a newline, this
information is not encoded in the "msg_show" event.
Solution: Add an "append" parameter to the "msg_show" event that is set
to true to indicate the message should not start on a new line.
Considered alternative: Emit a newline for the common case instead at the
start of a new message. That way UIs can more closely follow the logic
as it is implemented for the message grid currently. This would be a
breaking change. The "append" parameter seems OK.
Problem: UIs implementing ext_cmdline/message must also implement
ext_popupmenu in order to get cmdline completion with
wildoptions+=pum.
Solution: Allow marking a window as the ext_cmdline window through
nvim_open_win(), including prompt offset. Anchor the cmdline-
completion popupmenu to this window.
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:
Cursor is visible in "hidden" floating window.
Solution:
Hide cursor when curwin is a hidden floating window.
Show cursor after returning to a normal (non-hidden) window.
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.
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: 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:
There is currently no global option to define the default border style for floating windows. This leads to repetitive code when developers need consistent styling across multiple floating windows.
Solution:
Introduce a global option winborder to specify the default border style for floating windows. When a floating window is created without explicitly specifying a border style, the value of the winborder option will be used. This simplifies configuration and ensures consistency in floating window appearance.

Always allow the following four events to be nested, as they may contain
important information, and are triggered on the event loop, which may be
processed by a blocking call inside another autocommand.
- ChanInfo
- ChanOpen
- TermRequest
- TermResponse
There are some other events that are triggered on the event loop, but
they are mostly triggered by user actions in a UI client, and therefore
not very likely to happen during another autocommand, so leave them
unchanged for now.
When a plugin registers a TermRequest handler there is currently no way
for the handler to know where the terminal's cursor position was when
the sequence was received. This is often useful information, e.g. for
OSC 133 sequences which are used to annotate shell prompts.
Modify the event data for the TermRequest autocommand to be a table
instead of just a string. The "sequence" field of the table contains the
sequence string and the "cursor" field contains the cursor
position when the sequence was received.
To maintain consistency between TermRequest and TermResponse (and to
future proof the latter), TermResponse's event data is also updated to
be a table with a "sequence" field.
BREAKING CHANGE: event data for TermRequest and TermResponse is now a
table
Problem:
Descriptions are somewhat vague. nvim_set_current_line modifies contents
but nvim_set_current_buf does not, etc.
Solution:
- Make it clear that these functions accept or return a winid/tabid by
linking to that concept in help.
- Only these few files use the term "handles", so replace them with the
more conventional terminology.
- Add a new help section for tab-ID. This concept is unique to neovim
because vim exposes tabnr, but not tab handles. This section is
modelled after `:h winid`.
Problem: When setting an option, mapping etc. from Lua without -V1, the
script ID is set to SID_LUA even if there already is a script
ID assigned by :source.
Solution: Don't set script ID to SID_LUA if it is already a Lua script.
Also add _editor.lua to ignorelist to make script context more
useful when using vim.cmd().
TSHighlighter now places marks for conceal_lines metadata. A new
internal decor provider callback _on_conceal_line was added that
instructs the highlighter to place conceal_lines marks whenever the
editor needs to know whether a line is concealed. The bundled markdown
queries use conceal_lines metadata to conceal code block fence lines.
Problem: When calling an API from Vimscript to set an option, mapping,
etc., :verbose shows that it's set from an API client.
Solution: Don't override current_sctx.sc_sid when calling an API from
Vimscript. Also fix the inverse case where API channel id is
not set when calling an API from RPC. Move channel id into
sctx_T to make saving and restoring easier.

Problem: setting title and/or footer without explicitly setting border
shows "title/footer/ requires border to be set" error.
At the same time, explicitly setting `border = "none"` (which is
default) shows expected no-border-no-title-no-footer window without
error.
Solution: allow setting title/footer without explicitly setting border.
