Problem: Updating default color scheme produced some feedback.
Solution: Address the feedback.
Outline of the changes:
- Colors `Grey1` and `Grey2` are made a little bit more extreme (dark -
darker, light - lighter) to increase overall contrast.
- `gui` colors are treated as base with `cterm` colors falling back to
using 0-15 colors which come from terminal emulator.
- Update highlight group definition to not include attribute definition
if it is intended to staty uncolored.
- Tweak some specific highlight groups.
- Add a list of Neovim specific highlight groups which are now defined
differently in a breaking way.
- Minor tweaks in several other places related to default color scheme.
uv_close asserts that a handle is not already closing. We can guard
against this assertion failure by manually checking the handle's closing
status ourselves.
This is the command invoked repeatedly to make the changes:
:%s/^\(.*\)|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$\n\1|\%(\*\(\d\+\)\)\?$/\=submatch(1)..'|*'..(max([str2nr(submatch(2)),1])+max([str2nr(submatch(3)),1]))/g
Set 'notermguicolors' in tests which spawn a child Nvim process to force
existing tests to use 16 colors. Also refactor the child process
invocation to make things a little bit less messy.

Problem:
CI sometimes fails. Something is triggering an extra fsync().

Solution:
Relax the assertion.
Problem:
The test for 'nofsync' swapfile preservation on a deadly signal, does
not actually assert anything.
followup to 1fd29a2884
Solution:
Check that swapfile contents are present after getting SIGTERM.
TODO: this doesn't really verify that 'fsync' was called; it still
passes with this patch:

Solution:
Relax the assertion to `fsync >= 2` instead of exactly 2.
(Note this is not a behavior change: the next assertion has always
checked `fsync == 4`, it's just that the intermediate 3rd fsync was
never explicitly asserted.)
Problem: Default color scheme is suboptimal.
Solution: Start using new color scheme. Introduce new `vim` color scheme
for opt-in backward compatibility.
------
Main design ideas
- Be "Neovim branded".
- Be minimal for 256 colors with a bit more shades for true colors.
- Be accessible through high enough contrast ratios.
- Be suitable for dark and light backgrounds via exchange of dark and
light palettes.
------
Palettes
- Have dark and light variants. Implemented through exporeted
`NvimDark*` and `NvimLight*` hex colors.
- Palettes have 4 shades of grey for UI elements and 6 colors (red,
yellow, green, cyan, blue, magenta).
- Actual values are computed procedurally in Oklch color space based on
a handful of hyperparameters.
- Each color has a 256 colors variant with perceptually closest color.
------
Highlight groups
Use:
- Grey shades for general UI according to their design.
- Bold text for keywords (`Statement` highlight group). This is an
important choice to increase accessibility for people with color
deficiencies, as it doesn't rely on actual color.
- Green for strings, `DiffAdd` (as background), `DiagnosticOk`, and some
minor text UI elements.
- Cyan as main syntax color, i.e. for function usage (`Function`
highlight group), `DiffText`, `DiagnosticInfo`, and some minor text UI
elements.
- Red to generally mean high user attention, i.e. errors; in particular
for `ErrorMsg`, `DiffDelete`, `DiagnosticError`.
- Yellow very sparingly only with true colors to mean mild user
attention, i.e. warnings. That is, `DiagnosticWarn` and `WarningMsg`.
- Blue very sparingly only with true colors as `DiagnosticHint` and some
additional important syntax group (like `Identifier`).
- Magenta very carefully (if at all).
------
Notes
- To make tests work without relatively larege updates, each one is
prepended with an equivalent of the call `:colorscheme vim`.
Plus some tests which spawn new Neovim instances also now use 'vim'
color scheme.
In some cases tests are updated to fit new default color scheme.
Problem:
'nofsync' may lose data if the system has a hard shutdown. #9888
Solution:
Change default to 'fsync'. This may be revisited in the future when
'nofsync' can be made safer.
Using fnameescape() for the path argument of findfile() and finddir() is
wrong, as fnameescape() is intended to be used for parts of Ex commands,
not function arguments.
Problem:
On Windows, "gf" fails on a filepath that has a line:column suffix.
Example:
E447: Can't find file "src/app/core/services/identity/identity.service.ts:64:23"
Solution:
- Remove ":" from 'isfname' on Windows. Colon is not a valid filename
character (except for the drive-letter).
- Handle drive letters specially in file_name_in_line().
Fixes#25160
msg_puts_display was more complex than necessary in nvim, as in
nvim, it no longer talks directly with a terminal.
In particular we don't need to scroll the grid before emiting the last
char. The TUI already takes care of things like that, for terminals
where it matters.
Problem:
NVIM_APPNAME does not allow path separators in the name, so relative
paths can't be used:
NVIM_APPNAME="neovim-configs/first-config" nvim
NVIM_APPNAME="neovim-configs/second-config" nvim
Solution:
Let NVIM_APPNAME be a relative path. Absolute paths are not supported.

Problem:
helpers.tmpname() may create a local file, depending on circumstances.
Solution:
Only use helpers.tmpname() for its parent directory (the "temp root").
Use fs_mkdtemp() to actually get a unique name.
Problem:
`nvim -v` and `:version` prints system vimrc, fallback files, and compilation
info by default, which most people don't care about and just clutters up the
output.
Solution:
Omit extra info unless 'verbose' is set.
Problem:
Using "nvim -l args.lua" without passing extra script args, does not set `_G.arg[0]`.
Steps to reproduce:
```
cat > args.lua<<EOF
vim.print(_G.arg, '')
vim.print(vim.v.argv, '')
EOF
nvim --clean -l args.lua
```
Solution:
Fix condition in command_line_scan.
Using :CheckHealth invokes an error, and many of the features from :checkhealth
doesn't even work such as calling only a specific check. Users should use
:checkhealth instead.
The builtin cat was removed in 4bc9229ecb
as it is not used during runtime but only for tests. However, it is a
very small and useful utility program that we need for a lot of our
tests, so there's no harm in bundling it, and it helps us avoid
complicating our build system by having two versions of neovim (neovim
for users and neovim for testing).
Also skip tests if "grep" or "sleep" isn't available.
Problem:
If vim_tempdir mysteriously goes missing (typically by "antivirus" on
Windows), any plugins using tempname() will be broken for the rest of
the session. #1432#9833https://groups.google.com/g/vim_use/c/ef55jNm5czI
Steps:
mkdir foo
TMPDIR=./foo nvim
:echo tempname()
!rm -r foo
:echo tempname()
tempname() still uses the foo path even though it was deleted.
Solution:
- Don't assume that vim_tempdir exists.
- If it goes missing once, retry vim_mktempdir and log (silently) an error.
- If it goes missing again, retry vim_mktempdir and show an error.
Rejected in Vim for performance reasons:

But, logging shows that `vim_gettempdir` is not called frequently.
