<title>feat(input)!: CmdAtom event #41297</title>

Problem:
There is no unified notion of a "user action".

Vim processes input by one-char-at-a-time, and mostly throws away any
hints it might gather about the user's action, with one exception: it
stores the last _edit_ action (the "redo buffer", encoded as
unstructured `["x][v][count]body` bytes).

Plugins can only observe individual keys (vim.on_key) and high-level
effects (TextChanged, CursorMoved).

Solution:
- Users can subscribe to `CmdAtom` events to handle any user action.
  - Event is deferred; handlers cannot cancel or interfere with user
    actions.
- Capture `CmdSpec` from the normal/insert/visual subsystems.
  - typeahead/readahead stay unstructured (`buffheader_T`): they are key
    streams, not commands.
  - the redo/record buffers become `StringBuilder`: fewer
    allocations/copies.
- Repurpose the input/redo engine to accept `CmdSpec` objects.

"atom": one repeatable unit of user input, as a resolved (post-mapping)
keysequence plus structured fields. Only user actions, not `:normal`,
API calls, or non-"t" `feedkeys`.

BREAKING: dot-repeat of an Insert session, replays the entire session
including cursor-moves (:help ins-repeat).

BREAKING: dot-repeat of a Visual operation, replays the selection
instead of operating on a fixed-size region.</content>

<title>test(harness): migrate away from magic globals</title>

Problem:
The magic globals `it`, `describe`, etc., are more trouble than they are
worth.

- Hooking into `after_each` requires `getfenv()` hacks.
- They confuse luals/emmylua, because the top-level `.luarc.json` isn't
  merged with `test/.luarc.json` (apparently a luals limitation?)
- They totally defeat discoverability because the user just has to
  "know" about the various magic symbols.

So they harm DX, which means they serve no purpose at all.

Solution:
- Expose the test API from `testutil`, so tests can call `t.it()`,
  `t.describe()`, etc., in the conventional way.
- Drop `getfenv()` hacks.
- Drop the `setfenv()` injection in `load_chunk`.
- Drop `test/_meta.lua`.

NEW BUILD SYSTEM!

This is a MVP implementation which supports building the "nvim" binary,
including cross-compilation for some targets.
As an example, you can build a aarch64-macos binary from
an x86-64-linux-gnu host, or vice versa

Add CI target for build.zig currently for functionaltests on linux
x86_64 only

Follow up items:

-  praxis for version and dependency bumping
-  windows 💀
-  full integration of libintl and gettext (or a desicion not to)
-  update help and API metadata files
-  installation into a $PREFIX
-  more tests and linters

<title>feat(comment): allow commentstring to be determined from node metadata</title>

**Problem:** Some weird languages have different comment syntax
depending on the location in the code, and we do not have a way to
determine the correct `commentstring` for these special cases.

**Solution:** Allow queries to specify `commentstring` values in
metadata, allowing users/`nvim-treesitter` to provide a better
commenting experience without hugely increasing the scope of the code in
core.

<title>fix(comment): fall back to using trimmed comment markers (#28938)</title>

Problem: Currently comment detection, addition, and removal are done
  by matching 'commentstring' exactly. This has the downside when users
  want to add comment markers with space (like with `-- %s`
  commentstring) but also be able to uncomment lines that do not contain
  space (like `--aaa`).

Solution: Use the following approach:
  - Line is commented if it matches 'commentstring' with trimmed parts.
  - Adding comment is 100% relying on 'commentstring' parts (as is now).
  - Removing comment is first trying exact 'commentstring' parts with
    fallback on trying its trimmed parts.</content>
