Problem:
Only the stdio channel can "own" a server (self-exit on close). After
:restart the TUI reconnects over a socket, so the restarted server does
not have "self-exit" behavior when the channel closes (e.g. by UI
disconnect, host-terminal close, etc.), which leaves a dangling server.

Solution:
- Introduce `nvim_chan_set`. (`nvim_set_client_info` doesn't fit:
  exposing it to Lua would require a `channel` param, which is not
  backwards-compatible, plus it's awkward because it doesn't merge info.)
- Broadcast per-channel properties in the "restart" UI event as an
  opaque dict (a potentially useful pattern for other UI-events in the
  future).
  - UIs are expected to restore the channel properties on restart.
- `nvim_get_chan_info()` reports "detach".
- Remove `nvim__chan_set_detach()`.

<title>ci(lua): enable annotation and style checks</title>

Problem:

- annotation-usage-error and code-style-check are disabled.
- vim.inspect relies on a dummy self-assignment for docgen, and its help
  omits parameter and option details.
- LuaLS fallback types obscure iterator inference.
- Docgen hardcodes public function names and appends separately sorted
  files, leaving shared helpers under the inspector heading.

Solution:

- Enable annotation-usage-error and code-style-check, and fix misplaced
  annotations.
- Document vim.inspect's callable module directly, removing the dummy
  assignment. Describe its parameters, option defaults and process
  callback.
- Remove LuaLS iterator fallbacks, correct iterator signatures and check
  values that the improved inference identifies as optional.
- Parse callable modules, require bindings and parent module references.
  Derive public names and inherited function docs from these links,
  including missing help for vim.async.semaphore() and vim.version().
- Export vim.lsp.tagfunc directly with lazy loading and document its
  implementation instead of maintaining a wrapper.
- Group files in section_order, replacing append_only and merge_files.
  Merge declarations before sorting each section, placing shared helpers
  in the main vim section and keeping vim.inspect in alphabetical order.
- Add basic parser coverage for callable modules and module links.

Solution: Correct runtime annotations and calls, document local checker
workarounds, and enable the diagnostic.

Enable EmmyLua's assign-type-mismatch diagnostic after correcting the
runtime annotations and assignments it flags.

Correct option, tuple, and return types, and use separate locals when a
value changes representation. Add guards and narrow casts where needed
so the runtime passes the stricter check. Regenerate the affected docs.

Enable EmmyLua's need-check-nil diagnostic and resolve nullable values
through more precise types, explicit invariants, and guards for missing
runtime state. Keep analyzer-specific workarounds local and update the
affected API documentation.

Exclude the bundled re.lua from analysis so its nil-check warnings do
not fail CI.

Enable checks for unused code, deprecated calls, return types, and
annotations.

Fix the warnings and replace the deprecated highlight function. Keep
exceptions where old APIs are still needed or the checker gets it wrong.

Problem: LuaLS struggles with the generics used in Nvim's runtime,
requiring broad diagnostic suppressions. Indexing is also slow.

Solution: Use EmmyLua for type checks in the build and CI. It offers
more sophisticated type checking, substantially better support for
generics, and much better flow analysis.

Correct the affected annotations. Use `@internal`, supported directly by
EmmyLua, instead of `@nodoc` for shared internal declarations, and
support it in the help parser.

Problem: Nvim has many Lua APIs that start callback-driven work: timers,
jobs, libuv handles, and other event-loop tasks. Callers that need to
sequence or cancel that work have to build their own coroutine wrappers,
task bookkeeping, and cleanup rules. This makes async control flow hard
to share, test, and document.

Solution: Add `vim.async`, a structured-concurrency module vendored from
async.nvim. It provides task handles, await/pawait helpers,
sleep/timeout helpers, completion-order iteration, and semaphores on top
of Nvim's event loop.

The API follows the same broad model as Trio: async work has an owner,
tasks are awaited explicitly, and cancellation is cooperative. Include
generated vimdoc with an introductory overview and examples, a news
entry, and functional tests for the new module.

<title>fix(lua): blast radius of broken `_G.debug` #41507</title>

Problem:
`nlua_pcall()` references `_G.debug.traceback`. If user code deletes it
or breaks it some other way, various Lua features are broken.

    _G.debug = nil
    vim.schedule(function() end)
    vim.wait(100)

    E5113: Lua chunk: attempt to index a nil value
    stack traceback:
            [C]: in function 'loop_poll'
            [string "vim/_core/editor"]:176: in function 'wait'
            crash.lua:3: in main chunk
    PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (attempt to index a nil value)

Solution:
Check `_G.debug.traceback` before using it as errfunc. If it's broken,
omit the traceback and say so in the error message.

Note: We could cache `_G.debug` in LUA_REGISTRYINDEX on startup, but
that would prevent plugins from providing custom functionality there
(and we happen to do so in `tui_spec.lua` for example).</content>
