* ci(lua): enable annotation and style checksLewis Russell2026-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* build: replace LuaLS with EmmyLuaLewis Russell2026-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. AI-assisted

* test: lint EXX error codes #8155Justin M. Keyes2026-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | Problem: - Choosing a new EXX error code is tedious. - It's possible to accidentally use an EXX error code for different purposes. Solution: Add a lint check which requires EXX error codes to have a :help tag. This also avoids duplicates because `make doc` does `:helptags ++t doc` which fails if duplicates are found.

* build: ship "_core/*" as bytecode (built-into Nvim binary)Justin M. Keyes2025-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problem: We want to encourage implementing core features in Lua instead of C, but it's clumsy because: - Core Lua code (built into `nvim` so it is available even if VIMRUNTIME is missing/invalid) requires manually updating CMakeLists.txt, or stuffing it into `_editor.lua`. - Core Lua modules are not organized similar to C modules, `_editor.lua` is getting too big. Solution: - Introduce `_core/` where core Lua code can live. All Lua modules added there will automatically be included as bytecode in the `nvim` binary. - Move these core modules into `_core/*`: ``` _defaults.lua _editor.lua _options.lua _system.lua shared.lua ``` TODO: - Move `_extui/ => _core/ui2/`
