fix(pack): ignore inherited GIT_INDEX_FILE #42114

2026-09-30T21:01:29+00:00

Problem:
An inherited Git index can leave a plugin checkout empty or prevent
updates.

Solution:
Clear GIT_INDEX_FILE for plugin Git commands. Verify installs and
updates preserve the caller environment and index.

fix(lua): enable param-type-mismatch diagnostic

2026-09-28T13:43:14+00:00

Problem: Argument type mismatches are excluded from EmmyLua checks.

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

fix(lua): enable assignment type checking in runtime code

2026-09-25T16:07:21+00:00

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.

fix(lua): enable nil-safety diagnostics in runtime code

2026-09-25T09:28:19+00:00

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.

docs(pack): mention `:checkhealth vim.pack` #41955

2026-09-18T08:59:23+00:00

Problem: No explicit recommendations about how to check for possible
  issues related to `vim.pack`.

Soltuion: Mention `:checkhealth vim.pack` explicitlye as a recipe.

fix(lua): add missing param annotations (#41911)

2026-09-15T13:14:21+00:00

build: enable more EmmyLua checks

2026-09-09T21:31:58+00:00

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.

fix(pack): read document links from the request buffer #41638

2026-09-02T20:58:26+00:00

Problem:
The `textDocument/documentLink` handler resolves the confirmation buffer
from the request URI and checks it for `nil`, then reads lines from
buffer `0`. When the confirmation buffer is not current, links are
computed from unrelated text and returned against the confirmation
buffer's line numbers, producing missing or misplaced links.

Solution:
Read lines from the resolved `bufnr`.

feat(pack): add support for sourcing manifest scripts

2026-07-31T16:20:34+00:00

Problem: No way for plugins to define hooks that would be executed
  during plugin lifecycle. Like after install/update or before
  update/delete.

Solution: Automatically source scripts defined in plugin manifest file
  (if any) after triggering corresponding `PackChanged{,Pre}` events.
  During sourcing make some termporary adjustments:
  - Current directory is set to plugin's root to simplify execution of
    CLI calls like `make build`.
  - Plugin's path is ensured to be inside 'runtimepath' to allow using
    `require('plugin-module')` inside manifest scripts.

  The reason to execute after triggering event is so that there is a
  possibility for users to execute code both before the script (exactly
  on event) and after the script (more-or-less via `vim.schedule` called
  on the event).

feat(pack): introduce plugin manifest support

2026-07-31T15:04:58+00:00

Problem: There is no agreed way for plugins to provide extra information
  about themselves. Like required Neovim version, install/update/delete
  hooks, and dependencies.

Solution: Introduce basic concept of plugin manifest file `pkg.json`
  based on https://packspec.org/.
