Problem: Installing plugins during lockfile synchronization always
writes the lockfile, even though its content is used during install.
This might be a problem if the lockfile (itself or its parent
directory) is not writeable (can only be read).
Solution: Do not write the lockfile when installing directly from it.
This is okay since the `src` and `rev` are used directly from the
lockfile and don't change at this step. While potential change in
`version` (that must be written to the lockfile) is handled in other
code path.
Problem:
commit_chars_str() reads a 0x80-0xBF byte as a 2-byte lead, so
"\xA9x" makes "x" a commit character. nvim_get_hl() returns
a dict, so `#` on it is 0 whether or not the group exists
Solution:
use vim.str_utf_end() and drop entries that are not one whole
character. use next check dict length.
Problem:
Tree-sitter uses UINT32_MAX for full-document ranges, which becomes -1 on 32-bit platforms and reaches _foldupdate as an invalid end row.
Solution:
Treat negative changed-range end rows as unbounded and clamp them to the buffer line count. Add a regression test that simulates the 32-bit sentinel.

Problem:
Want `gQ` for _le multicursor_.
Solution:
- Don't use `gQ` for exmode.
- Introduce `:exmode`.
- Introduce `[count]q:` as an alias to `:exmode`.
Problem:
On NetBSD, `man -w open` can return the exact manpage path, but `:Man`
may still fail when man directories cannot be discovered from `manpath
-q`, bare `man -w`, or `$MANPATH`.
Solution:
Fall back to the direct manpage lookup when directory discovery fails.
Add a test for resolving `open(2)` through `goto_tag()` without manpath
data.
Problem:
POSIX-compatible Ex-mode requires special-cases all over the codebase to
match various quirks that don't actually matter to users.
- The main utility of *interactive* Ex-mode is its REPL behavior, and
that can be achieved with `cmdwin`, which also gains extra UX
benefits.
- The main utility of *non-interactive* `nvim -es` is for shell
scripting, where Ex-mode quirks are mostly unhelpful (e.g. the
"Entering Ex mode" message).
Solution:
- Reimplement *interactive* Ex-mode as a "persistent, insert-mode
cmdwin" in Lua.
- "nvim -e/-E" is simply an alias to "gQ".
- Reframe *non-interactive* Ex-mode (`nvim -es`) as "script mode".
- Drop POSIX Ex-mode quirks.
Improvements:
- "nvim -V1 -es" output ends with a final newline!
- "nvim -V1 -es" no longer shows the "Entering Ex mode" msg. (This was
pointless noise, unwanted for scripting purposes.)
- stdin is no longer typeahead. Scripts (":lua io.read()") can read
stdin as data.
- Empty line is a no-op: a stray blank line no longer moves the cursor
(deviates from POSIX ex "+1"), no longer exits 1 at EOF (E501).
Preserved behavior:
- cursor starts at "$"
- mode()=="cv" (for non-interactive)
- multiline commands (:append/:function/heredoc pull continuation lines)
- bare-range print
- :print=>stdout
- -V1=>stderr
- CRLF input
- continue-after-error and exit codes
Dropped (regressed) POSIX behavior (non-interactive):
- Event loop only ticks while/between commands, not while blocked
waiting for a stdin line.
- ":g/pat/visual...Q"
- input()/getchar()/":s/x/y/c" no longer consume stdin lines as
answers: Nvim stops at end-of-input, skipping the rest of the script,
exit 0. Use ":lua io.read()" instead.
- If users care about this they should use interactive Ex-mode (`gQ`).
- ":@r" stops at end of the register instead of continuing to read
cmdline input from stdin.
Lazy imports (PEP 810, to be released in Python 3.15) introduces a
`lazy` soft keyword that's recognized when it precedes a `from` or
`import` keyword.

Problem: s:SearchBracket()'s skip-expression matches syntax group
names ending in "Comment", "Todo", or "String" to decide
whether a candidate bracket is inside a string/comment
and should be skipped for indentation purposes. Byte and
raw-byte string literals (b"...", rb"...") are highlighted
via the pythonBytes/pythonRawBytes syntax groups, which
don't end in "String", so brackets inside them (e.g.
b"[") were never skipped and were counted as real,
unmatched brackets, producing incorrect indentation.
Solution: Add "Bytes" to the indent script's existing suffix match,
so pythonBytes/pythonRawBytes are recognized directly, the
same way pythonString/pythonFString/pythonRawString
already are.
This supersedes an earlier version of this fix that
renamed pythonBytes/pythonRawBytes to
pythonBytesString/pythonRawBytesString in
runtime/syntax/python.vim.

## Flicker cause
ui2's `check_targets()` function creates the hidden ui2 windows with this call chain:
```
nvim_open_win()
win_set_buf()
do_buffer()
set_curbuf()
enter_buffer()
```
and `enter_buffer()` sets `need_fileinfo`:
fdc09be03c/src/nvim/buffer.c (L1837-L1839)
This is then picked up by `normal_redraw`:
fdc09be03c/src/nvim/normal.c (L1381-L1385)
The fileinfo message then causes a ui2 window to appear to display it:
fdc09be03c/runtime/lua/vim/_core/ui2/messages.lua (L325-L330)
... which ends up calling `set_pos`, which registers an `on_key` handler:
fdc09be03c/runtime/lua/vim/_core/ui2/messages.lua (L726-L728)
This handler closes the ui2 window when the user presses, for example, `l` (because the user's not focusing said window).
The handler eventually calls `check_targets()`:
fdc09be03c/runtime/lua/vim/_core/ui2/messages.lua (L594-L595)
and `check_targets()` takes us back to the beginning, causing the ui2 window flicker
## Repro
```vim
=require("vim._core.ui2").enable()
set ch=0 shm-=F ve=all
e /tmp/x
```
Then hit `Ctrl-G` to show fileinfo (if not already shown) and hold `l`
## Fix
Effectively surround the ui2 window creating with `:silent`
Problem:
The code block query relied on a bug fixed in commit
7ed5609439, where a trailing newline was
not included in a node's text.
Solution:
Fix the query to expect the newline.
Problem:
After expanding tabs with the `expandtab` option, if the old indent
matches the requested one, `vim.text.indent()` returns the input
unchanged.
The optimization path assumes that if old_indent == size, the input
wouldn't be changed, which is not correct when old_indent is formed by
expanded tabs.
Solution:
Apply the optimization only when `expandtab` is not set.
'spellcapcheck' checks the first word in the file for a capital like any
sentence start: capcol is seeded to 0 for line 1 in spell_check_sblock().
This has been the case since the feature was added in v7.0100, so the note
that it "doesn't work for the first word in the file" is incorrect.

Problem: `:browse edit` (and variants) without an argument fails instead
of opening a browser.
Solution: Dispatch to dir.lua using the cwd as the implied directory.
Replace the inherited GUI-only documentation with the supported
behavior. Support vsplit, split, tabedit variants.
Problem: When a tagfunc returns a "cmd" that is neither a line number nor
a search pattern, the tag entry is corrupted: the "kind" field is
lost and taglist() returns a mangled "cmd".
Solution: Accept any Ex command in "cmd" as in a tags file, terminate a
generic command with a bar so the trailing fields are preserved,
and reject a value that cannot be stored in a tag line with E987

Problem: [security]: arbitrary Ex command execution during C
omni-completion (Threonine)
Solution: Match tags typeref literally to block Ex command injection
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
Escaping only "/" and "\" left the typeref able to break out of the
:vimgrep pattern without a "/": an unclosed "[" makes vimgrep's pattern
skipping fail, and the parser then treats a following "|" as a command
separator, so the tag value runs as Ex commands during C omni-completion.
Match the field literally with \V so no regex metacharacter can affect
pattern parsing.

Changes:
- Removed the blank line before the first healthcheck header.
- Fixed a bug where the entire "Terminal" section of `vim.health` would
not appear if the `infocmp` executable was not found.
- Fixed a typo in `vim.lsp` when displaying the LSP log level.
Problem:
Options parsing is still painful for dict-style options.
Solution:
schema-maxxing => better `opt:get()` (will be the basis for `vim.o()`),
unified (and more-detailed) err msgs.
- Drop bespoke structure-builder in `_core/options.lua`.
- Define `schema` for all non-primitive options (except 'guicursor' and
statusline-style options); generate reified keysets `OptKeyDict`).
- Generate 'fillchars' => `fcs_tab`, 'listchars' => `lcs_tab`.
- `nvim_set_option_value`:
- Return the improved structures. Also from `vim.opt.x:get()`.
- Eliminate api <=> lua roundtrip, centralize option structure
handling.
- Improve/unify errors.
- Bump ERR_BUFLEN 80 → 256 so the "one of" list isn't truncated.
- Eliminate old 'diffopt' order-dependence (`iwhiteall` before `iwhite`)
Error samples:
Typed-key path (opt_strings_check → diffopt/mousescroll/breakindentopt):
E474: Unknown item 'foo'
E474: 'context' requires a number
E474: 'ver' number is out of range
E474: 'algorithm' must be one of: myers, minimal, patience, histogram
E474: 'filler' does not take a value

- :get() returns `{ sbr = true, shift = '3' }` (reified-keyset) instead of `{'sbr', 'shift:3'}`
- Setting via table now works too. `object_as_optval_for` `is_map` now recognizes struct options.
- fix#30296
- instead of `E474: Invalid argument`, errors now look like:
```
E474: Invalid value 'x', expected one of: single, double: ambiwidth=x
E474: Unknown item 'foo': diffopt=foo
E474: 'context' requires a number: diffopt=context:x

Problem: [security]: code injection in netrw via bookmarks and history
(David Carliez)
Solution: Escape the '|' explicitly (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
The bookmark and history menu builders interpolate paths into :execute'd
:menu commands using g:netrw_menu_escape, which did not escape the Ex
command separator '|'. A crafted path could break out of the :menu command
and run arbitrary Ex/shell commands when the menu was built or triggered.
Add '|' to g:netrw_menu_escape for the menu names, escape the :e right-hand
side with fnameescape(), and quote the netrw#MakeTgt() argument with
string() instead of raw single-quote interpolation.

Problem:
The preview-window (:pedit, etc.) always uses a split, but it would be
useful as a floatwin (or "popup").
Solution:
Support Vim's 'previewpopup' option.
Problem: When the terminal reports no colors ("t_Co" is 0 or 1) the
insert mode completion popup menu is not shown at all, while
the command line completion popup menu ('wildoptions' contains
"pum") is shown. In 'wildmenu' completion the current match
cannot be told apart from the other matches (Maxim Kim)
Solution: Show the insert mode completion popup menu regardless of the
number of colors and add "term" attributes to the default
highlighting of Pmenu, PmenuSel and PmenuThumb. The wildmenu
is drawn with the attributes of the status line, which is
reversed, and on most terminals the standout mode is the same
as the reverse mode, thus use the underline mode for the
default highlighting of WildMenu (Hirohito Higashi).

Problem: filetype: .git-blame-ignore-revs file is not recognized
Solution: Detect .git-blame-ignore-revs file as gitrevlist filetype,
include syntax and filetype plugins (Fionn Fitzmaurice)
A Git revision list is
> a list of object names (i.e. one unabbreviated SHA-1 per line)...,
> comments (#), empty lines, and any leading and trailing whitespace are
> ignored.
(from Git's fsck.skipList documentation).
The default output of git rev-list will match this. It is also suitable
as input to git blame --ignore-revs-file.
This adds filetype detection matching .git-blame-ignore-revs files,
syntax highlighting and basic filetype settings.

Problem: Opening a file from a netrw listing throws
"E471: Argument required: keepj keepalt 2wincmd 1" when
g:netrw_chgwin equals winnr('$')+1, e.g. after opening
:Lexplore (which sets g:netrw_chgwin=2) and closing the
sidebar, then browsing with :Explore in the remaining window.
s:NetrwBrowseChgDir builds the window jump as
"g:netrw_chgwin wincmd curwin", passing the saved window
NUMBER where wincmd expects its single-letter argument.
Solution: Jump back to the saved window with "curwin wincmd w", as the
surrounding comment intends; the following statement then
performs the actual jump to g:netrw_chgwin.
The faulty line dates back to at least Vim 9.0
(runtime/autoload/netrw.vim:4976 at v9.0.0000).
Reported (against the since-archived netrw repo) in
saccarosium/netrw.vim#98 and neovim/neovim#34169.
Note: no test, because the error reproduces only in Neovim.
