Problem: Although patch 9.1.0990 fixed a real problem/inconsistency,
it also introduced new behavior that may break BWC and/or be
unexpected. Before 9.1.0990, window commands could make the
topframe smaller (without changing 'cmdheight'; quirk that is
now fixed), but did not allow extending the topframe beyond
the 'cmdheight' set by the user. After 9.1.0990, the user can
reduce the 'cmdheight' below the value they set explicitly,
through window commands, which may lead to confusion.
(aftere v9.1.0990)
Solution: Store the value explicitly set by the user and clamp the
'cmdheight' when resizing the topframe. This also applies to
dragging laststatus, which in contrast to window commands
_did_ allow reducing the 'cmdheight' to values below the one
set by the user. So with this patch there is still new
behavior, but I think in a way that is less surprising.
While at it, also fix a Coverity warning, introduced in
v9.1.0990 (Luuk van Baal)

Problem: open_floating_preview() may be hidden behind current window if
that is floating and has a higher zindex.
Solution: Open floating preview with zindex higher than current window.
Problem:
`nvim -es` (and `nvim -Es`) is the recommended way to non-interactively
run commands/vimscript. But it enables shada by default, which is
usually not wanted.
Solution:
- Disable shada by default for `nvim -es/-Es`. This can be overridden by
`-i foo` if needed.
- Do NOT change the 'loadplugins' default.
- User config + packages _should_ be enabled by default, for both `nvim
-es` and `nvim -l`. Else any Lua packages you have can't be accessed
without `-u path/to/config`, which is clumsy.
- Use-cases:
```
nvim --headless "+Lazy! sync" +qa
would become: nvim -es "+Lazy! sync"
nvim --headless +PlugInstall +qall
would become: nvim -es +PlugInstall
```
- Opt-out (`--clean` or `-u NONE`) is much easier than opt-in (`-u
path/to/config`).
- User config/packages are analogous to pip packages, which are
expected when doing `python -c ...`.

Problem:
If completeopt does not include "popup" flag, nvim__complete_set still
auto-creates a floating preview window.
Solution:
Fail if completeopt does not include the "popup" flag.
Problem: when popup preview buffer has filetype like markdown and ts
is enabled, the extmark clean and update not correct, if add the extmark
sync there has lots of duplicate codes like nvim_buf_set_lines.
Solution: use nvim_buf_set_lines api internally to set info to popup
preview buffer.
Problem: Inconsistent behavior when changing cmdheight by resizing the
topframe through wincmds and dragging laststatus. Changing
cmdheight by resizing the topframe does not trigger OptionSet.
Solution: Consolidate logic for changing the cmdheight, set the option
value to handle side-effects (Luuk van Baal)

vim-patch:9.0.0187: command line height changes when maximizing window height
Problem: Command line height changes when maximizing window height.
Solution: Do not change the command line height. (closesvim/vim#10885)

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:
Tests that need to check `nvim` CLI behavior (no RPC session) create
their own ad-hoc `system()` wrappers.
Solution:
- Use `n.spawn_wait` instead of `system()`.
- Bonus: this also improves the tests by explicitly checking for
`stdout` or `stderr`. And if a signal is raised, `ProcStream.status`
will reflect it.
Problem:
Can't use `n.clear()` to test non-RPC `nvim` invocations. So tests end
up creating ad-hoc wrappers around `system()` or `jobstart()`.
Solution:
- Introduce `n.spawn_wait()`
- TODO (followup PR): Rename `n.spawn()` and `n.spawn_wait()`.
It's misleading that `n.spawn()` returns a RPC session...
Problem: Message grid newline formatting based on `msg_col` is not
utilized with ext_messages.
Solution: Increment `msg_col` with the cell width of the chunk. Allowing
message code that uses `msg_col` to determine when to place a
newline to do so. E.g. when the message goes beyond `Columns`;
this is not necessarily where the ext_messages implementation
would want to place a newline, but it is a best guess. Message
parsing and manipulation is still possible.
Problem: filetype: 'jj' filetype is a bit imprecise

Problem: Prompts are emitted as messages events, where cmdline events
are more appropriate. The user input is also emitted as
message events in fast context, so cannot be displayed with
vim.ui_attach().
Solution: Prompt for user input through cmdline prompts.
We currently enable the OSC 52 clipboard provider by setting g:clipboard
when a list of conditions are met, one of which is that $SSH_TTY must be
set. We include this condition because often OSC 52 is not the best
clipboard provider, so if there are "local" providers available Nvim
should prefer those over OSC 52.
However, if no other providers are available, Nvim should use OSC 52
even when $SSH_TTY is not set. When a user is in an SSH session then the
checks for the other clipboard providers will still (typically) fail, so
OSC 52 continues to be enabled by default in SSH sessions.
This is marked as a breaking change because there are some cases where
OSC 52 wasn't enabled before and is now (or vice versa).
Allows to retrieve the configuration as it will be used by `lsp.enable`
- including the parts merged from `*` and rtp.
This is useful for explicit startup control
(`vim.lsp.start(vim.lsp.config[name])`)

Problem: GUI tests sometimes fail when setting 'scroll' options
Solution: decrease the 'scroll' and 'scrolljump' option value from 20 to
15, in case the Gui window is not large enough to handle 20.
tests: decrease the scroll and scrolljump values
the gui tests sometimes fail with:
```

Problem: There is currently no way to check if a given path is absolute or convert a relative path to an absolute path through the Lua stdlib. `vim.fs.joinpath` does not work when the path is absolute. There is also currently no way to resolve `C:foo\bar` style paths in Windows.
Solution: Add `vim.fs.abspath`, which allows converting any path to an absolute path. This also allows checking if current path is absolute by doing `vim.fs.abspath(path) == path`. It also has support for `C:foo\bar` style paths in Windows.
If root_dir is a function it is evaluated when the client is created to
determine the root directory.
This enables dynamically determining the root directory based on e.g.
project or directory structure (example: finding a parent Cargo.toml
file that contains "[workspace]" in a Rust project).

Problem: Currently, we use `switch_option_context` to temporarily switch the current option context before setting an option for a different buffer / window. This is not ideal because we already support getting and setting option values for non-current contexts in the underlying implementation.
Solution: Set option value for non-current context by passing the context directly to the lower level functions. Also introduce a new `OptCtx` struct to store option context information, this will scale much better if we add more option scopes and other context information in the future.
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.

Similar to how there is a `GDB` environment variable to let the nvim
test instances to be run under `gdbserver` this adds a `OSV_PORT`
variable to start nvim test instances with `osv` in blocking mode to let
a debug client attach to it for debugging of `exec_lua` code blocks.
