Problem: Installing plugin always pulls latest `version` changes
(usually from the default branch or "latest version tag"). It is more
robust to prefer initial installation to use the latest recorded
(i.e. "working") revision.
Solution: Prefer using revision from the lockfile (if present) during
install. The extra `update()` will pull the latest changes.
Problem: Running `update()` by default doesn't include not active
plugins, because there was no way to get relevant `version` to get
updates from. This might be a problem in presence of lazy loaded
plugins, i.e. ones that can be "not *yet* active" but still needed to
be updated.
Solution: Include not active plugins by default since their `version` is
tracked via lockfile.
Problem: The revision data is returned behind `opts.info` flag because
it required extra Git calls. With lockfile it is not the case.
Solution: Use lockfile to always set `rev` field in output of `get()`.
Problem: `get()` doesn't return `spec.version` about not-yet-active
plugins (because there was no way to know that without `add()`).
Solution: Use lockfile data to set `spec.version` of non-active plugins.
Problem: Some use cases require or benefit from persistent on disk
storage of plugin data (a.k.a. "lockfile"):
1. Allow `update()` to act on not-yet-active plugins. Currently if
`add()` is not yet called, then plugin's version is unknown
and `update()` can't decide where to look for changes.
2. Efficiently know plugin's dependencies without having to read
'pkg.json' files on every load for every plugin. This is for the
future, after there is `packspec` support (or other declaration of
dependencies on plugin's side).
3. Allow initial install to check out the exact latest "working" state
for a reproducible setup. Currently it pulls the latest available
`version.`
4. Ensure that all declared plugins are installed, even if lazy loaded.
So that later `add()` does not trigger auto-install (when there
might be no Internet connection, for example) and there is no issues
with knowing which plugins are used in the config (so even never
loaded rare plugins are still installed and can be updated).
5. Allow `add()` to detect if plugin's spec has changed between
Nvim sessions and act accordingly. I.e. either set new `src` as
origin or enforce `version.` This is not critical and can be done
during `update()`, but it might be nice to have.
Solution: Add lockfile in JSON format that tracks (adds, updtes,
removes) necessary data for described use cases. Here are the required
data that enables each point:
1. `name` -> `version` map.
2. `name` -> `dependencies` map.
3. `name` -> `rev` map. Probably also requires `name` -> `src` map
to ensure that commit comes from correct origin.
4. `name` -> `src` map. It would be good to also track the order,
but that might be too many complications and redundant together
with point 2.
5. Map from `name` to all relevant spec fields. I.e. `name` -> `src`
and `name` -> `version` for now. Storing data might be too much,
but can be discussed, of course.
This commit only adds lockfile tracking without implementing actual
use cases. It is stored in user's config directory and is suggested to
be tracked via version control.
Example of a lockfile:
```json
{
# Extra nesting to more future proof.
"plugins": {
"plug-a": {
"ref": "abcdef1"
"src": "https://github.com/user/plug-a",
# No `version` means it was `nil` (infer default branch later)
},
"plug-b": {
"dependencies": ["plugin-a", "plug-c"],
"src": "https://github.com/user/plug-b",
"ref": "bcdefg2",
# Enclose string `version` in quotes
"version": "'dev'"
},
"plug-c": {
"src": "https://github.com/user/plug-c",
"ref": "cdefgh3",
# Store `vim.version.Range` via its `tostring()` output
"version": ">=0.0.0",
}
}
}
```
Problem: completion: flicker when LSP server is slow
Solution: reinsert leader text before invoking user function
(Girish Palya)
Reference:
https://github.com/girishji/vimcomplete/issues/101#issuecomment-3343063245
In insert-mode completion, the leader text is temporarily removed while
searching for candidates. When the LSP server responds slowly, the
client may call `:sleep` to wait, which triggers `out_flush()`. This
causes the deleted text to disappear briefly before being redrawn,
resulting in visible flicker.
This commit reinserts the leader text before invoking the user function,
and removes it again afterward to eliminate flicker.

Problem: diff: w_topline may be invalidated
Solution: Update lnum in diff_set_topline()
(Yee Cheng Chin).
This can happen in ex_diffupdate() for certain edge cases which cause
the logic to now be wrong. This was also the root cause for vim/vim#18437 where
Vim would crash due to a null pointer dereferencing (said pointer would
not be null under normal circumstances).

Problem: filetype: Not all PKL files are recognized
Solution: Detect *.pcf as pkl filetype, detect using the pkl-lsp://
protocol as pkl filetype, include PKL syntax script
(Jan Claußen)
This adds basic syntax support for the new PKL language by Apple.
What works:
- Shebang support
- Comment support
- Integers (decimal, hex, octal and binary) support
- Floating point support including exponentials
- Basic datatype support
- Unicode escape delimiters
- Escape code support
- String interpolation
- Support up to five pounds for custom delimiters
- Folding of multi-line comments and blocks
What doesn't work:
The language heavily uses parameterized type declarations, which can get
very complex. It is very hard to highlight this properly. There is
official Tree-sitter support for this. Since it is hard to pull this off
in a vim syntax file, I opted for basic support of the data types.

Problem: completion: some issues with 'acl' when "preinsert" and
"longest" is in 'completeopt' (musonius, after v9.1.1638)
Solution: Fix various issues (see details below) (Girish Palya)
This commit addresses multiple issues in the 'autocompletedelay' behavior with
"preinsert" and "longest":
- Prevents spurious characters from being inserted.
- Ensures the completion menu is not shown until `autocompletedelay` has
expired.
- Shows the "preinsert" effect immediately.
- Keeps the "preinsert" effect visible even when a character is deleted.

Problem: Significant code duplication between the two command parsing functions
Solution: Extract shared parsing logic into helper functions while preserving original behavior
> The macOS 13 runner image will be retired by December 4th, 2025.
Update to the macos-15-intel runner.
It seems that runners ending with "large" require an enterprise plan, so
macos-15-intel is the only other available macOS Intel runner.
This commit changes `languagetree.lua` so that it creates a scratch
buffer under the hood when dealing with string parsers. This will make
it much easier to just use extmarks whenever we need to track injection
trees in `languagetree.lua`. This also allows us to remove the
`treesitter.c` code for parsing a string directly.
Note that the string parser's scratch buffer has `set noeol nofixeol` so
that the parsed source exactly matches the passed in string.

Problem: Vim tests are slow and flaky at the same time due to reliance
on timeouts which are unreliable.
Solution: improve Vim test performance and reduce flakiness
(Yee Cheng Chin)
A lot of Vim tests currently rely on waiting a specific amount of time
before asserting a condition. This is bad because 1) it is slow, as the
timeout is hardcoded, 2) it's unreliable as a resource-starved runner
may overshoot the timeout. Also, there are a lot of builtin sleep
commands in commonly used utilities like VerifyScreenDump and WaitFor()
which leads to a lot of unnecessary idle time.
Fix these issues by doing the following:
1. Make utilities like VerifyScreenDump and WaitFor use the lowest wait
time possible (1 ms). This essentially turns it into a spin wait. On
fast machines, these will finish very quickly. For existing tests
that had an implicit reliance on the old timeouts (e.g.
VerifyScreenDump had a 50ms wait before), fix the tests to wait that
specific amount explicitly.
2. Fix tests that sleep or wait for long amounts of time to instead
explicitly use a callback mechanism to be notified when a child
terminal job has finished. This allows the test to only take as much
time as possible instead of having to hard code an unreliable
timeout.
With these fixes, tests should 1) completely quickly on fast machines,
and 2) on slow machines they will still run to completion albeit slowly.
Note that previoulsy both were not true. The hardcoded timeouts meant
that on fast machines the tests were mostly idling wasting time, whereas
on slow machines, the timeouts often were not generous enough to allow
them to run to completion.

Part of shared.vim and test_crash.vim changes only.
Co-authored-by: Yee Cheng Chin <ychin.git@gmail.com>
Fixes#35884
Problem: Since `once_buf_loaded` might call a callback passed to it at a
later point (which is it's reason to exist) that callback might end up
referring to stale diagnostics in a handler's `show` function. For
example, if we first call `vim.diagnostic.set` for an unloaded buffer,
then call `vim.diagnostic.reset` and only then load the buffer, we might
still see diagnostics from `vim.diagnostic.set` call, which are stale at
this point.
Solution: only keep one autocommand from the most reset `show` call and
delete it when `hide` is called.
**Problem(?):** Buffers that (for whatever reason) aren't meant to have
a final newline are still parsed with a final newline in `treesitter.c`.
**Solution:** Don't add the newline to the last buffer line if it
shouldn't be there. (This more closely matches the approach of
`read_buffer_into()`.)
This allows us to, say, use a scratch buffer with `noeol` and `nofixeol`
behind the scenes in `get_string_parser()`.
...which would allow us to track injection trees with extmarks in that
case.
...which would allow us to not drop previous trees after reparsing a
different range with `get_parser():parse()`.
...which would prevent flickering when editing a buffer that has 2+
windows to it in view at a time.
...which would allow us to keep our sanity!!!
(one step at a time...)

The current description (especially the "unlimited width" part) is
inaccurate in several ways:
- The size of virtual text can depend on window width. In particular,
the size of "above" virtual text can be equal to window width.
- A double-width character that doesn't fit adds 1 to the virtual column
of the following characters.
- The size of 'showbreak' and 'breakindent' is counted.

Problem:
Autocmds in inline_completion Completor are not scoped to specific
buffers. When multiple buffers have inline completion enabled, events
(InsertEnter, CursorMovedI, TextChangedP, InsertLeave) in any buffer
trigger callbacks for all Completor instances, causing incorrect
behavior across buffers.
Solution:
Add `buffer = bufnr` parameter to nvim_create_autocmd() calls to make
them buffer-local. Each Completor instance now only responds to events
in its own buffer.
Problem: Marks are lost after `:bdelete` because `ignore_buf()` filters
out unlisted buffers during shada mark processing.
Solution: Revert to original buffer checks for mark operations, avoiding
`!buf->b_p_bl` condition that incorrectly ignores deleted buffers.
