test(harness): migrate away from magic globals

2026-07-21T11:22:39+00:00

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`.

fix(tests): use builtin default attributes in more places

fix(lua): use even safer and even better error() message conversion

2026-05-25T09:06:02+00:00

problem:
this crashes neovim:

ondska = setmetatable({}, {__tostring = error})
error(ondska)

solution:

make it not crash neovim

feat(messages): cleanup Lua error messages

2025-05-04T15:22:57+00:00

"Error" in error messages is redundant. Just provide the context, don't
say "Error ...".
