Problem:
TUI does not support several standard SGR text attributes:
- dim/faint (SGR 2)
- blink (SGR 5)
- conceal (SGR 8)
- overline (SGR 53)
This means that when a program running in the embedded terminal emits
one of these escape codes, we drop it and don't surface it to the
outer terminal.
Solution:
- Add support for those attributes.
- Also add corresponding flags to `nvim_set_hl` opts, so users can set
these attributes in highlight groups.
- refactor(highlight): widen `HlAttrFlags` from `int16_t` to `int32_t`
Widen the `rgb_ae_attr` and `cterm_ae_attr` fields in HlAttrs from
int16_t to int32_t to make room for new highlight attribute flags,
since there was only one spare bit left.
- The C flag is named HL_CONCEALED to avoid colliding with the
existing HL_CONCEAL in syntax.h (which is a syntax group flag, not
an SGR attribute).
- Also note that libvterm doesn't currently support the dim and overline
attributes, so e.g. `printf '\e[2mThis should be dim\n'` and `printf
'\e[53mThis should have an overline\n'` are still not rendered
correctly when run from the embedded terminal.
Problem: filetype: sh filetype used for env files
Solution: Detect *.env and .env.* files as env filetype,
detect .envrc and .envrc.* as sh filetype,
include a simple env syntax script (DuckAfire)
Previously, .env files were handled by the shell syntax. While
functional, this limited the ability to support specific .env
implementations, such as CodeIgniter4 which allows dots in keys
(e.g., "foo.bar=0").
The new dedicated 'env' filetype and syntax script improves legibility
and prevents highlighting from breaking when encountering spaces.
Currently, the syntax does not support indentation; fields, variables,
and comments must start at the beginning of the line.

Problem: If buffer has attached LSP servers and none of them supports
`textDocument/documentLink` method, typing `gx` results in a warning
about that.
Solution: Explicitly check that at least one server supports the target
method before making the LSP request.
Problem:
Some UI clients break if space follows the comma in 'guifont' items.
Also the new 'guifont' default may cause problems if none of the fonts are found.
Solution:
Remove trailing whitespace.
Add a "monospace" fallback which `fontconfig` can resolve on *nix systems.
Problem: Implicitly setting message target when 'cmdheight' changes.
Solution: Just use the user configured target. Support "cmd" target
with 'cmdheight' set to 0.
Problem: Paging keys being consumed without obvious indicator
in the dialog window can be surprising.
Solution: Display a hint with paging keys in the dialog window title
when paging is active. Recognize <Esc> as mapping to stop
paging.
Problem: vim.on_key() called for each message while cmdline is open.
Cursor is on a seemingly random column when pager is entered.
Entering the pager while the cmdline is expanded can be more
convenient than pressing "g<".
Pager window is unnecessarily clamped to half the shell height.
Setting 'laststatus' while pager is open does not adjust its
dimensions.
Solution: Only call vim.on_key() once when dialog window is opened.
Ensure cursor is at the start of the first message when
entering the pager.
Enter the pager window when "<CR>" is pressed while the
cmdline is expanded.
Don't clamp the pager window height.
Set message windows dimensions when 'laststatus' changes.
Problem: items() does not work for Blobs
Solution: Extend items() to support Blob
(Yegappan Lakshmanan).

**Problem:** No easy way to stack highlight groups #35806.
**Solution:** Add a way to specify a new statusline chunk with a
highlight group that inherits from previous highlight attributes.
Also applies to tabline, etc.
The [spec for `workspace/configuration`](https://microsoft.github.io/language-server-protocol/specifications/lsp/3.17/specification/#workspace_configuration)
marks the `section` property of each item in `items` optional.
Therefore, I believe it violates the spec to skip over items without
a section, because then the length of the results won't match the length
of a valid `items` input. The spec does not elaborate on _what_ to
return in this case, but I don't think it would be controversial to say
that returning the full configuration, as done for an empty string, is
the most natural interpretation.
That empty string case, by the way, was initially [added in
response](5da124fc82)
to a real world implementation requesting it. I don't have a similar
real world implementation to point to for the omitted `section`, but
I would note that `getConfiguration()` from `vscode-languageserver-node`
[defaults to a request with no section](d859bb14d1/server/src/common/configuration.ts (L24-L26))
when called with no arguments. I surmise that this is intended as a way
to retrieve the full configuration.
Problem:
When quitting Nvim, LSP servers will not be force-stopped, even if
ClientConfig.exit_timeout is set to an integer.
pkill emmylua_ls; VIMRUNTIME=runtime/ nvim --clean -u repro.lua repro.lua ; waitpid $(pgrep emmylua_ls)
vim.lsp.config('foo', { cmd = { 'emmylua_ls' }, exit_timeout = 1000 })
vim.lsp.enable('foo')
vim.defer_fn(vim.cmd.quit, 500)
Solution:
On VimExit, wait up to `exit_timeout:integer` milliseconds for servers
to exit. Do this with an explicit `vim.wait()`, because the actual
force-stop is deferred, and won't be attempted if Nvim exits before
then.

- Refactor LSP client to use unified provider-based capability lookup for
diagnostics and other features.
- Introduce `_provider_value_get` to abstract capability retrieval,
supporting both static and dynamic registrations.
- Update diagnostic handling and protocol mappings to leverage
provider-centric logic.
Problem: Executing `nvim_buf_delete()` does not guarantee that the
window which shows the buffer is going to close after `:write` or
`:quit`. In particular, if there is no listed buffer present.
Solution: Explicitly close the window that was created for confirmation
buffer. Use `pcall` to catch cases when the window was already closed
or when it is the last window.
Problem:
`vim.diagnostic.fromqflist` ignores lines that are `item.valid == 0` (see
`getqflist`). Many qflists have messages that span multiple lines, which look
like this:
collection/src/Modelling/CdOd/Central.hs|496 col 80| error: [GHC-83865]
|| • Couldn't match expected type: InstanceWithForm
|| (FilePath
|| -> SelectValidCdInstWithForm
...
calling `vim.diagnostic.fromqflist(vim.fn.getqflist)` gets a diagnostic message
like this:
error: [GHC-83865]
only the first line is kept, but often, the remaing lines are useful as well.
Solution:
Introduce `merge_lines` option, which "squashes" lines from invalid qflist items
into the error message of the previous valid item, so that we get this
diagnostic message instead:
error: [GHC-83865]
• Couldn't match expected type: InstanceWithForm
(FilePath
-> SelectValidCdInstWithForm
Problem:
- ~200 line function of hard-to-maintain C code.
- Local Addition section looks messy because of the varying description
formats.
Solution:
- Move code to Lua.
- Have a best-effort approach where short descriptions are right
aligned, giving a cleaner look. Long descriptions are untouched.
Problem:
Iter:peek() only works if the iterator is a |list-iterator| (internally, an `ArrayIter`).
However, it is possible to implement :peek() support for any iterator.
Solution:
- add `_peeked` buffer for lookahead without actually consuming values
- `peek()` now works for function, pairs(), and array iterators
- `skip(predicate)` stops at the first non matching element without consuming it
- keep existing optimized behavior for `ArrayIter` to maintain backward compatibility
- use `pack`/`unpack` to support iterators that return multiple values
fix(treesitter): more distinctive highlight for EditQuery captures
Problem: EditQuery shows captures in the source buffer using the Title
highlight group, which could be too similar to Normal.
Solution: Use a virtual text diagnostic highlight group: they are
displayed in a similar manner to the query captures so we can assume
that the color scheme should have appropriate styling applied to make
them visible.
Problem:
`vim.json.decode()` could not parse JSONC (JSON with Comments)
extension, which is commonly used in configuration files.
Solution:
Introduce an `skip_comments` option, which is disabled by default. When
enabled, allows JavaScript-style comments within JSON data.
Problem:
Escaping logic for {subject} in ex cmd `:help {subject}` is done in a
messy 200+ lines C function which is hard to maintain and improve.
Solution:
Rewrite in Lua. Use `string.gsub()` instead of looping over characters
to improve clarity and add many more tests to be able to confidently
improve current code later on.
Problem: cterm field in Dict(highlight) is declared as Union(Integer, String)
but it actually expects a Dict(highlight_cterm).
Solution: change cterm type to DictAs(highlight__cterm) and simplify the
handling in dict2hlattrs since type validation and empty array compat are
already handled by api_dict_to_keydict.
In particular, also mention the difference between the regex atom \k and
what Vim considers for a word character.

Problem:
After eaacdc9, complete with emmylua_ls error with:
runtime/lua/vim/lsp/completion.lua:586: attempt to get length of field
'items' (a nil value)
Solution:
Result can be CompletionItem[] according the spec:
> If a `CompletionItem[]` is provided, it is interpreted to be complete,
> so it is the same as `{ isIncomplete: false, items }`
Problem:
Empty response affects server start boundary computed before.
Solution:
Ignore empty responses. This is mostly micro-optimization that avoids
extending existing results with empty responses.
Problem: Code lenses currently display as virtual text on the same line
and after the relevant item. While the spec does not say how lenses
should be rendered, above the line is most typical. For longer lines,
lenses rendered as virtual text can run off the side of the screen.
Solution: Display lenses as virtual lines above the text.

Problem: The following strchar functions have incorrect types:
strcharlen() - Currently any. Always returns an integer, including on
error
strcharpart() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid. These inputs are required for vimscript usage. The current
return type is any, even though the function returns an empty string
on error
strchars() - The skipcc annotation does not specify that 0 and 1 are
valid
Solution: Update the problem types.
Problem: In eval.lua, setcharsearch() has an incorrect param type,
causing Lua_Ls to display an error when a valid table is passed.
While getcharsearch correctly states that it returns a table, the type
is non-specific about the contents.
Solution: Update eval.lua with the correct types.
