**Problem:**
`vim.filetype.match({ filename = 'a.sh' })` returns `nil` because
an invalid buffer ID is passed to `vim.api.nvim_buf_get_lines()`.
For filetypes like `csh`, `txt`, or any other extensions that call
`_getlines()` or `_getline()` to detect their filetypes, the same
issue occurs.
When only the `filename` argument is passed, an error is raised
inside a `pcall()` that wraps the filetype detection function,
causing it to return no value without showing any error message.
**Solution:**
Validate the `bufnr` value in `_getlines()` and `_getline()`.
Problem: When pumborder is set, the scrollbar still occupies
a column on the screen, wasting a 1 column of space.
Solution: Render the scrollbar on the right/left (rl mode) side
of the border when pumborder is set.
Problem: `PackChanged[Pre]` events with `kind=update` are triggered both
during plugin's initial installation and after already installed
plugin was updated.
It was a deliberate decision to allow writing only a single update
hook to act as a dedicated "build" entry point (like execute `make` or
`cargo build —release`). This mimics how other plugin managers have a
single "build" command.
This was a result of 'mini.deps' experience with the different
approach: "update" hooks are not run during install. This proved to be
confusing as it requires to write two hooks. But also the reason might
be that 'mini.deps' names it "checkout" hook instead of "update".
However, the `vim.pack` event approach makes it lower cost to handle
separate "update" and "install" events. Something like
`if ev.data.kind == 'install' or ev.data.kind == 'update' then`
instead of two autocommands.
Plus this makes clearer separation of events.
Solution: do not trigger `PackChanged[Pre] kind=update` event during
install.
Problem: Inside `PackChanged[Pre]` callbacks it might be useful to tell
if the affected plugin is active or not. It is already possible via
extra `vim.pack.get({ 'plug-name' })[1].active`, but it is not quite
user-friendly for something that might be needed frequently in real
world use cases.
Solution: Supply extra `active` event data field.
Problem: 'pack_spec.lua' test file's code can be improved.
Solution: Refactor some aspects. In particular:
- Rewrite `find_in_log` for finding event data in event log into a
generator function that from log list returns a finder function.
This allows it to take less arguments and be more concise.
- Consistently use `local function f()` instead of
`local f = function()`.
- Prefer to use `fn.readblob()` instead of `fn.readfile()` to assert
text from a file.
- Use `([[...]]):format()` approach to testing file content (instead
of array of strings). Should improve readability.
- Universally prefer using "assert" to mean "check if certain
expectation about the process holds up" (instead of occasional
"validate").
Problem: MS-Windows: Relative import in a script sourced from a buffer
doesn't work (Ernie Rael)
Solution: Set a filename, so that we are not trying to use
script-relative filename (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
When a script is sourced from a buffer, the file name is set to ":source
buffer=". In MS-Windows, the ":" is a path separator character (used
after a drive letter). This results in the code trying to use the ":"
prefix to import the script on MS-Windows. To fix this, when importing a
script from a script sourced from a buffer with nofile, don't use
a script relative path name.

Problem:
Border width calculations were scattered with repeated
`*p_pumborder != NUL ? 2 : 0` patterns. The "none" value was not
consistently checked, causing borders to appear when pumborder="none".
When "shadow" the info floating window have an extra cell of spacing.
Solution:
Add `pum_border_width()` helper that returns 0 when pumborder is unset
or "none" (opt_winborder_values[7]), returns 1 when pumborder is shadow,
otherwise return 2.
The processing of terminfo can be separated into two steps:
1. The initialization of terminfo, which includes trying to find $TERM
in a terminfo database file. As a fallback, common terminfo
definitions are compiled in. After this, we apply a lot of ad-hoc
patching to cover over limitations of terminfo.
2. While processing updates from nvim, actually using terminfo strings
and formatting them with runtime values. for this part, terminfo
essentially is a hyper-enhanced version of snprintf(), including
a sm0l stack based virtual machine which can manipulate the runtime
parameters.
This PR completely replaces libuniblium for step 2, with code
vendored from NetBSD's libtermkey which has been adapted to use typesafe
input parameters and to write into an output buffer in place.
The most immedatiate effects is a performance enhancement of
update_attrs() which is a very hot function when profiling the
TUI-process part of screen updates. In a stupid microbenchmark
(essentially calling nvim__screenshot over and over in a loop) this
leads to a speedup of ca 1.5x for redrawing the screen on the TUI-side.
What this means in practise when using nvim as a text editor is probably
no noticible effect at all, and when reabusing nvim as idk a full screen
RGB ASCII art rendrer maybe an increase from 72 to 75 FPS LMAO.
As nice side-effect, reduce the usage of unibilium to initialization only..
which will make it easier to remove, replace or make unibilium optional,
adressing #31989. Specifically, the builtin fallback doesn't use
unibilium at all, so a unibilium-free build is in principle possible
if the builtin definitions are good enough.
As a caveat, this PR doesn't touch libtermkey at all, which still has a
conditional dependency on unibilium. This will be investigated in a
follow-up PR
Note: the check of $TERMCOLOR was moved from tui/tui.c to
_defaults.lua in d7651b27d5 as we want to
skip the logic in _defaults.lua if the env var was set, but there
is no harm in TUI getting the right value when the TUI is trying to
initialize its terminfo shenanigans. Also this check is needed when
a TUI connects to a `--headless` server later, which will observe
a different $TERMCOLOR value than the nvim core process itself.
Problem: when create a hidden terminal job with `nvim_buf_call`+
`jobstart(…,{term=true})`, program like `lazygit` cannot figure out the
correct width and height.
Solution: `jobstart(…,{term=true})` accepts `width`/`height`
Problem: if pumblend >= 50, non-whitespace menu character gets italic,
bold, underline (or similar) attribute from the cell underneath, which
is not really useful and can't be "blended".
Solution: drop highlight combination for that special case (@zeertzjq
on #36133).

Problem:
If a client doesn't have a config then an error may be thrown.
Probably caused by: 2f78ff816b
Lua callback: …/lsp.lua:442: attempt to index local 'config' (a nil value)

Solution:
Not all clients necessarily have configs.
- Handle `config=nil` in `can_start`.
- If user "enables" an invalid name that happens to match a *client*
name, don't auto-detach the client.

fix(help): only set url for nvim-owned tags
Problem:
1. gx on |nonexistingtag| opens
https://neovim.io/doc/user/helptag.html?nonexistingtag.

2. Solution: clear namespace for buffer in b:undo_ftplugin.
Fixes issue on mac where it was constantly reloading buffers as paths
were not being normalized and resolved correctly (in relation to buffer
name).
Quickfix entry:
/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue
Buffer name:
/private/var/folders/pt/2s7dzyw12v36tsslrghfgpkr0000gn/T/git-difftool.m95lj8/right/app.vue
/var was synlinked to /private/var and this was not being properly
handled.
Also added lazy redraw to avoid too many redraws when this happens in
future and added test for symlink handling.

Problem
As part of https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/34373 a unit test was
added that executes the `write` command. This causes a file to be
created named `Xtestfile-functional-shada-buffers-2`. In general tests
should cleanup resources they create.
Solution
Remove the call to `write`, test functions correctly without it.
- Always open the right window to the right, regardless of 'splitright'
setting, ensuring the left window is always leftmost.
- Use `vim.fn.systemlist` for diffr output to avoid manual splitting.
- Add a test to verify window layout consistency with 'splitright' and
'nosplitright' options.
- Escape quotes in git difftool example properly.

Problem
In `vim.pack` the source of any errors is included in the `update`
buffer from lua's `pcall` method. Since the full path is known it is
replaced in the unit test by the string `VIM_PACK_RUNTIME`. The issue is
that `pcall` does not necessarily include the full path, it instead uses
the `lua_Debug` `short_src` value which can be truncated. This means
depending on where you've cloned the repo locally the test can fail.
Solution
Change the replacement pattern for the traceback to be more generic and
handle any path prefix, not just the value of `vim.env.VIMRUNTIME`.
Problem:
1. Setting `pumborder=+,+,+,+,+,+,+,+` failed to render the custom
border characters correctly. The issue occurred in `parse_winborder()`
where it incorrectly used `p_winborder` instead of the `border_opt`
parameter when the option value didn't contain commas.
2. In `pum_redraw()`, calling `parse_border_style()` directly with the
option string failed to parse comma-separated border characters.
3. Missing documentation for PmenuShadow and PmenuShadowThrough
highlight groups used by the shadow border style.
4. Coverity reports CID 631420: passing WinConfig (480 bytes) by value
in `grid_draw_border()`.
5. crash when using `shadow` value on pumborder.
Solution:
1. Fix `parse_winborder()` to use `border_opt` parameter consistently,
ensuring the correct option value is parsed regardless of which
option (winborder/pumborder) is being set.
2. Update `pum_redraw()` to call `parse_winborder()` instead of
`parse_border_style()`, properly handling both predefined styles
and custom comma-separated border characters.
3. Add documentation for PmenuShadow (blended shadow areas) and
PmenuShadowThrough (see-through corners) highlight groups.
4. Change `grid_draw_border()` to accept WinConfig by pointer.
5. When the "shadow" style is used, no additional row and column offset
is applied, and the border width is reduced.
Problem:
Built-in diff mode (nvim -d) does not support directory diffing
as required by git difftool -d. This makes it difficult to compare
entire directories, detect renames, and navigate changes efficiently.
Solution:
Add a DiffTool plugin and command that enables side-by-side diffing of
files and directories in Neovim. The plugin supports rename detection,
highlights changes in the quickfix list, and provides a user command for
easy invocation. This allows proper integration with git difftool -d for
directory comparison.
Example git config:
```ini
[diff]
tool = nvim_difftool
[difftool "nvim_difftool"]
cmd = nvim -c "packadd nvim.difftool" -c "DiffTool $LOCAL $REMOTE"
```

Problem: when splitkeep=screen, after enlarge float window with
nvim_win_set_height, lines("w$") return stale value
Solution: update in win_set_inner_size
Problem: :fclose may crash Nvim if autocommands close floats prematurely.
Alternatively, :fclose may call win_close for windows not in curtab if
autocommands change curtab or move windows between tab pages via
nvim_win_set_config (may not crash, but is wrong).
Solution: check win_valid before calling win_close.
Problem
Similar to https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/33257, but for the date
component. When timezone is behind UTC the epoch date of individual
components mismatch causing the test to fail.
Solution
The `epoch` variable is created using `os.date` with a `!`, which means
format the date in UTC instead of local timezone:
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-os.date.
Since the individual components like year, month, and day are expected
to match `epoch` they should all be created using a `!` as well.
Problem:
Popup menu cannot have a border.
Solution:
Support 'pumborder' option.
Generalize `win_redr_border` to `grid_redr_border`,
which redraws border for window grid and pum grid.
Problem: Window may have wrong height if resized from another tabpage.
Solution: Improve check for whether a tabline has been added (zeertzjq).
fixes: vim/vim#18518closes: vim/vim#18519bd3b958027
Problem: after #35601, nvim_open_win incorrectly attempts to set the size of a
split window to 0 if it wasn't specified.
Solution: only attempt to set the size again if it was actually specified. This has the effect of defaulting to half the size of the parent window (or it may be equalized with other windows to make room), like before.
Fix#36080
Problem: popup: there are some position logic bugs

- Split horizontal and vertical positioning into separate functions.
- Fixed missing truncation marker (e.g. `>`) when items were truncated
and `pummaxwidth` was not set.
- Fixed occasional extra space being added to menu items.
