Problem: fixed order of items in insert-mode completion menu
Solution: Introduce the 'completeitemalign' option with default
value "abbr,kind,menu" (glepnir).
Adding an new option `completeitemalign` abbr is `cia` to custom
the complete-item order in popupmenu.

Problem:
The `_watch.watch()` strategy may fail if the given path does not exist:
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: ENOENT: no such file or directory
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'assert'
…/vim/_watch.lua:101: in function <…/vim/_watch.lua:61>
[string "<nvim>"]:5: in main chunk
- `_watch.watch()` actively asserts any error returned by `handle:start()`.
- whereas `_watch.watchdirs()` just ignores the result of `root_handle:start()`.
Servers may send "client/registerCapability" with "workspace/didChangeWatchedFiles"
item(s) (`baseUri`) which do not actually exist on the filesystem:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/28058#issuecomment-2189929424

method = "client/registerCapability",
params = {
registrations = { {

watchers = { {
globPattern = {
baseUri = "file:///Users/does/not/exist",
pattern = "**/*.{ts,js,mts,mjs,cjs,cts,json,svelte}"
}
},
...
}
Solution:
- Remove the assert in `_watch.watch()`.
- Show a once-only message for both cases.
- More detailed logging is blocked until we have `nvim_log` / `vim.log`.

Solution:
Define a non-standard `@markup.heading.1.delimiter` group and
special-case it in `highlight_group.c`.

- fully driven by `vimdoc/highlights.scm` instead of using highlight
tricks (`guibg=bg guifg=bg guisp=fg`)
- better support of "cterm" ('notermguicolors')

**Problem:** `is_ancestor()` uses a slow, bottom-up parent lookup which
has performance pitfalls detailed in #28512.
**Solution:** Take `is_ancestor()` from $O(n^2)$ to $O(n)$ by
incorporating the use of the `child_containing_descendant()` function
Problem: When using nvim_paste in a mapping during a macro recording,
both the mapping and the paste are recorded, causing the paste
to be performed twice when replaying the macro.
Solution: Only record a paste when it is from RPC.
Unfortunately this means there is no way for a script to make a recorded
paste. A way to enable that can be discussed later if there is need.
Before this PR, the behavior of nvim_paste is:
- When vim.paste() returns false, return false to the client, but treat
following chunks normally (i.e. rely on the client cancelling the
paste as expected).
- When vim.paste() throws an error, still return true to the client, but
drain the following chunks in the stream without calling vim.paste().
There are two problems with such behavior:
- When vim.paste() errors, the client is still supposed to send the
remaining chunks of the stream, even though they do nothing.
- Having different code paths for two uncommon but similar situations
complicates maintenance.
This PR makes both the cancel case and the error case return false to
the client and drain the remaining chunks of the stream, which, apart
from sharing the same code path, is beneficial whether the client checks
the return value of nvim_paste or not:
- If the client checks the return value, it can avoid sending the
following chunks needlessly after an error.
- If the client doesn't check the return value, chunks following a
cancelled chunk won't be pasted on the server regardless, which leads
to less confusing behavior.
Problem:
`vim.fs.dirname([[C:\User\XXX\AppData\Local]])` returns "." on
mingw/msys2.
Solution:
- Check for "mingw" when deciding `iswin`.
- Use `has("win32")` where possible, it works in "fast" contexts since
b02eeb6a72.
In the api_info() output:
:new|put =map(filter(api_info().functions, '!has_key(v:val,''deprecated_since'')'), 'v:val')
...
{'return_type': 'ArrayOf(Integer, 2)', 'name': 'nvim_win_get_position', 'method': v:true, 'parameters': [['Window', 'window']], 'since': 1}
The `ArrayOf(Integer, 2)` return type didn't break clients when we added
it, which is evidence that clients don't use the `return_type` field,
thus renaming Dictionary => Dict in api_info() is not a breaking change.

Problem: incorrect internal diff with an empty file

Problem:
The default builtin UI client does not declare its client info. This
reduces discoverability and makes it difficult for plugins to identify
the UI.
Solution:
- Call nvim_set_client_info after attaching, as recommended by `:help dev-ui`.
- Also set the "pid" field.
- Also change `ui_active()` to return a count. Not directly relevant to
this commit, but will be useful later.

Problem: inconsistent case sensitive extension matching
Solution: unify case sensitive extension matching (Evgeni Chasnovski).
There are different approaches of how extensions are matched with
respect to case sensitivity. In particular, '\c' flag is used in pattern
whereas in most places case sensitive matching is guarded behind
`has("fname_case")` condition.
Replace all instances of '\c' with an explicit case sensitive pattern
variants guarded by `has("fname_case")`. Strictly speaking, this is a
breaking change because only two (most common and prevailingly tested)
variants are now matched: upper first letter and upper all letters.

Problem:
- "process" is often used as a verb (`multiqueue_process_events`), which
is ambiguous for cases where it's used as a topic.
- The documented naming convention for processes is "proc".
- `:help dev-name-common`
- Shorter is better, when it doesn't harm readability or
discoverability.
Solution:
Rename "process" => "proc" in all C symbols and module names.
This module is generally used by any tests that need the full Nvim TUI
instead of `screen.lua`. Thus it should live in `functional/` instead of
in `functional/terminal/`.

**Problem:** `vim.treesitter.get_parser` will throw an error if no parser
can be found.
- This means the caller is responsible for wrapping it in a `pcall`,
which is easy to forget
- It also makes it slightly harder to potentially memoize `get_parser`
in the future
- It's a bit unintuitive since many other `get_*` style functions
conventionally return `nil` if no object is found (e.g. `get_node`,
`get_lang`, `query.get`, etc.)
**Solution:** Return `nil` if no parser can be found or created
- This requires a function signature change, and some new assertions in
places where the parser will always (or should always) be found.
- This commit starts by making this change internally, since it is
breaking. Eventually it will be rolled out to the public API.

Problem:
floating windows did not correctly inherit the NormalFloat highlight
group from the global namespace when it was not defined in the window-specific

Updated the window highlight logic in update_window_hl() to handle the fallback.
This fix resolves issues with floating window backgrounds not displaying as expected
in certain namespace configurations.

- `alter_slashes` belongs in `testutil.lua`, not `testnvim.lua`.

Problem:
If $NVIM_APPNAME is a relative dir path, Nvim fails to start its
primary/default server, and `v:servername` is empty.
Root cause is d34c64e342, but this wasn't
noticed until 96128a5076 started reporting the error more loudly.
Solution:
- `server_address_new`: replace slashes "/" in the appname before using
it as a servername.
- `vim_mktempdir`: always prefer the system-wide top-level "nvim.user/"
directory. That isn't intended to be specific to NVIM_APPNAME; rather,
each *subdirectory* ("nvim.user/xxx") is owned by each Nvim instance.
Nvim "apps" can be identified by the server socket(s) stored in those
per-Nvim subdirs.

Problem: vim.tbl_deep_extend had an undocumented feature where arrays
(integer-indexed tables) were not merged but compared literally (used
for merging default and user config, where one list should overwrite the
other completely). Turns out this behavior was relied on in quite a
number of plugins (even though it wasn't a robust solution even for that
use case, since lists of tables (e.g., plugin specs) can be array-like
as well).
Solution: Revert the removal of this special feature. Check for
list-like (contiguous integer indices) instead, as this is closer to the
intent. Document this behavior.
Problem:
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR may be broken on WSL, which prevents starting (and even

Solution:
- When startup fails, mention the servername in the error message.

with an empty `v:servername`. It's only fatal if a user provides a bad
`--listen` or `$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS` address.

str_byteindex_enc could return an error if the index was longer than the

* Remove pcalls on str_byteindex_enc calls. No longer needed now that
str_byteindex_enc has a bounds check.

Cherry-pick code change from patch 8.2.3405.
Updated the `rpc.connect` function to support connecting to LSP servers
using hostnames, not just IP addresses. This change includes updates to
the documentation and additional test cases to verify the new
functionality.
- Modified `connect` function to resolve hostnames.
- Updated documentation to reflect the change.
- Added test case for connecting using hostname.
Added a TCP echo server utility function to the LSP test suite. This
server echoes the first message it receives and is used in tests to
verify LSP server connections via both IP address and hostname.
Refactored existing tests to use the new utility function.

Problem:
`nvim --listen` does not error on EADDRINUSE. #30123
Solution:
Now that `$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS` is deprecated and input *only* (instead
of the old, ambiguous situation where it was both an input *and* an
output), we can be fail fast instead of trying to "recover". This
reverts the "recovery" behavior of
704ba4151e, but that was basically
a workaround for the fragility of `$NVIM_LISTEN_ADDRESS`.
For context, see https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/24738. Before
that PR, Nvim did not correctly handle captures with quantifiers. That
PR made the correct behavior opt-in to minimize breaking changes, with
the intention that the correct behavior would eventually become the
default. Users can still opt-in to the old (incorrect) behavior for now,
but this option will eventually be removed completely.

Problem: inserting with a count is inefficient

Optimize insertion when using :normal 10000ix.
This patch optimizes the insertion with a large count (e.g. `:normal
