Why

This is a follow-up to #593. It fixes the Snacks close and the stop in owned.lua, the two close paths that #593 left open.

A job that was just started can still be a fork of Neovim until its child has run exec. A jobstop on it then ends Neovim with Caught deadly signal 'SIGHUP', or the buffer delete after it hangs. #593 documents the race, and #544 made the native close wait for the exec of a young job. The Snacks close and the stop in owned.lua still called jobstop at once, so a close within milliseconds of the start could kill Neovim.

Cause

pty_process_spawn forks the child, and init_child() runs setsid() and resets the signal handlers only after that. Until exec the child has Neovim's libuv handlers. When the pty master closes in that gap (a jobstop), the kernel sends SIGHUP to the child, libuv's handler in the child writes into the signal pipe that it shares with Neovim, and Neovim reads a SIGHUP of its own and exits. With the child held in the gap (see Evidence), a close right after the start killed Neovim in every run for the Snacks provider and for the stop in owned.lua, on 0.8.0 and 0.12.3. The native provider survived in every run.

Fix

The wait moves out of native.lua into owned.wait_for_exec(jobid), with owned.is_young(started_at) for the 10 s rule. The code is the same: it reads the names of Neovim and of the child from /proc/<pid>/comm (or nvim_get_proc where /proc is missing) and waits up to 1 s until the child has another name.

  • native.close calls it for a job younger than 10 s, as before.
  • snacks.M.open records term._cc.job_started_at where it already patches the instance. snacks.close reads it and calls the wait for a job younger than 10 s. A terminal that a reload adopted has no start time and is not waited for, as in native. Without the age rule, every Snacks close on macOS would pay about 200 ms for the two ps calls of the nvim_get_proc fallback.
  • owned.lua stop_buffer has no start time, so it calls it for every job. That path runs only after a reload or a provider switch, and the wait ends at the first look for a job that has run exec.

The wait runs scheduled callbacks while the job still runs. Two Codex findings on ea0fbfd6 were about that, and 12f1d45f fixes both:

  • snacks.close now clears the owned mark before the wait for every terminal, not only for an adopted one. An open() among the callbacks can no longer adopt the terminal that is closing by its mark.
  • stop_buffer reads the channel before the wait and checks nvim_buf_is_valid(buf) before jobstop. A callback that deleted the buffer during the wait no longer makes jobstop raise Invalid buffer id.

lua/claudecode/terminal/README.md and the verify-terminal-lifecycle skill describe the three places. The skill changed as follows:

  • The fact OwnedStopOtherStops reads M.wait_for_exec(channel) and the buffer check before jobstop.
  • The new fact SnacksCloseClearsMark reads the mark clear before the wait. The model has a switch of the same name in CloseBegin. The model counts a closing terminal as ended, so the fact breaks a rule only together with OwnedLiveSkipsEndedJob. check.sh --mutants has a row for the pair.
  • OwnedLiveSkipsEndedJob alone now breaks OpenShowsLiveClaude, not CloseNeverReuses, because the model clears the mark in every Snacks close.
  • The model still passes with 279492 distinct states.

CI on ea0fbfd6 and the fixes

Two checks failed on ea0fbfd6.

  1. The integration spec compiled its shim into a TMPDIR folder. CI's second pass runs with TMPDIR="$RUNNER_TEMP/odd tmp 50%". LD_PRELOAD splits its value at a space or a colon, so the shim was ignored, the child was never held, and the probe timed out. f910015b puts the shim into mktemp -d /tmp/claudecode.XXXXXX when the TMPDIR path holds a space or a colon.
  2. verify-diff-lifecycle also hashes terminal/{native,owned,snacks}.lua, so its covered.lock was stale. 3a1961a0 re-records the locks of verify-terminal-lifecycle and verify-diff-lifecycle.

Tests

  • tests/integration/terminal_close_young_job_spec.lua runs one Neovim per case with -u NONE (so minimal_init.lua does not wait for the exec and hide the race) and tests/helpers/hold_pty_child.c preloaded. The shim holds the child inside init_child() and creates a file when it does. The probe (tests/helpers/close_young_job_probe.lua) starts a Claude terminal job, waits for that file, and closes the job. Cases: a plain jobstop as the control (it must end Neovim with SIGHUP, so the other cases can fail), the native close, the Snacks close (with a stand-in for Snacks) and the owned.lua stop. The spec is pending without Linux, a C compiler and timeout. It puts the shim into a /tmp folder when TMPDIR holds a space or a colon, and tests/helpers/ld_preload_path.lua makes that choice.
  • tests/unit/ld_preload_path_spec.lua has three cases: a plain path, a path with a space and a path with a colon. Before it, a spec pattern without the colon half passed in every CI configuration.
  • tests/unit/terminal/owned_wait_for_exec_spec.lua covers the wait (names from /proc, from nvim_get_proc, the 1 s limit, a job with no pid, unreadable names), is_young, the order of the stop in owned.lua (wait, then jobstop, then delete) and "leaves a buffer alone that a callback deleted during the wait".
  • tests/unit/terminal/snacks_close_spec.lua covers the Snacks close: it waits before jobstop for a job that just started, not for a job older than 10 s, and not for a job that exited. The case "does not let an open during the wait adopt the terminal that is closing" covers the mark clear.
  • Five Snacks unit specs gain vim.loop.hrtime in their vim mock, and one gains vim.fn.getpid, because the provider now reads a clock and the wait reads the pid.
  • proof-pty-child-hangup.sh compiles the same shim instead of a copy of it. Under a TMPDIR with a percent sign it failed all three cases, on main too. With only a space or only a colon it failed one of three, and its wrapper case passed only because the shim was not loaded. Now d6019d13 puts its work folder into /tmp for such a path.
  • The header of hold_pty_child.c now says that the shim holds every fork of Neovim that calls signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_DFL), including the ps children that nvim_get_proc starts, not only the pty child.

Evidence

Builds: the official v0.8.0 release binary (NVIM v0.8.0-1210-gd367ed9b2, as in CI) and Neovim 0.12.3, scratch HOME and XDG dirs, on a shared host.

Run main plus the new tests this branch
integration spec, 10 runs per build 10 of 10 fail on both builds (the Snacks and owned.lua cases fail, the control and native pass) 0 of 10 fail on both builds
integration spec, 20 runs per build, plain TMPDIR not run 0 of 20 fail on 0.8.0 and on 0.12.3
integration spec, 20 runs per build, TMPDIR="odd tmp 50%" the spec of ea0fbfd6 times out in this TMPDIR, as in CI 0 of 20 fail on 0.8.0 and on 0.12.3
the unit specs of tests/unit/terminal plus native_terminal_toggle_spec, 20 runs not run 0 of 20 fail (374 successes each)

Mutants of the Lua files, one run each, on 89e74e31. The merge of main changed no terminal file and no terminal spec, so I did not rerun them on the merge commit. "Unit" counts the failing tests among 374 in tests/unit/terminal plus native_terminal_toggle_spec. "Integration" is the new spec on 0.8.0 and 0.12.3, with the same result on both. "Fact" is the verify-terminal-lifecycle fact that turns FALSE in a facts-only run of check.sh.

Mutant Unit Integration Fact
Snacks close does not wait 2 failures red SnacksCloseClearsMark
Snacks close always waits (no age rule) 1 failure green (the wait is harmless but slow) none
Snacks close never waits (age rule always false) 2 failures red none
Snacks does not record the start time 2 failures red none
Snacks clears the mark only for an adopted terminal (the form on ea0fbfd6) 1 error (the open adopts the closing terminal) green SnacksCloseClearsMark
Snacks clears the mark after the wait 1 error (same case) green SnacksCloseClearsMark
stop_buffer does not wait 2 failures red OwnedStopOtherStops
stop_buffer has no nvim_buf_is_valid(buf) check before jobstop 1 failure green OwnedStopOtherStops
stop_buffer re-reads the channel with no check (the form on ea0fbfd6) 1 failure green OwnedStopOtherStops
native close does not wait 3 failures red none
native close never counts a job as young 3 failures red none
wait_for_exec does not call vim.wait 6 failures red none
wait_for_exec stops while the names are equal 4 failures red none
wait_for_exec waits 0 ms 4 failures red none
wait_for_exec has no guard for an unreadable name of Neovim 4 failures green none
wait_for_exec calls jobpid without pcall (no guard for a job without a pid) 1 failure and 2 errors green none
is_young uses <= 2 failures green none
is_young reads a nil start time as young (no nil guard) 1 failure green none

The control mutant (no change) is green in every column, with 374 successes. I ran the facts-only check.sh on every row, and "none" means that every fact stayed TRUE. A mutant of tests/helpers/ld_preload_path.lua that drops the colon, and one that drops the space, each fail one case of ld_preload_path_spec.lua.

The model has its own mutants. check.sh --mutants removes each guard of the model in turn, and it ends with "every guard is caught" on the merge commit 191a3e24. The pair SnacksCloseClearsMark with OwnedLiveSkipsEndedJob is caught by CloseNeverReuses and OpenShowsLiveClaude.

Not covered

  • The Snacks case uses a stand-in for Snacks, because CI installs no snacks.nvim. The provider code under test is the real one, and the stand-in starts a real pty job with termopen.
  • The wait reads /proc or ps. Where neither gives a name, the close goes on to jobstop and the race stays open, as in native before this PR. A ps that hangs would hang the close for as long as it hangs. I did not reproduce that.
  • I tested the ps fallback only on Linux, with /proc hidden from Lua. I did not run it on macOS or BSD.
  • A jobstop that other code issues, for example :bwipeout of the terminal buffer by the user right after the start, is not covered.
  • Another PR that edits native.lua, snacks.lua, owned.lua or a covered.lock must be merged one at a time with this one, and re-record the lock after its merge.

…the owned stop

A job that was just started can still be a fork of Neovim until its child has
run exec. A jobstop on it then ends Neovim with SIGHUP, or the buffer delete
after it hangs. The native close has waited for the exec of a young job since
#544. The snacks close and the stop in owned.lua called jobstop at once.

The wait moves into owned.wait_for_exec, with owned.is_young for the 10 s
rule, and native.close uses them with no change. snacks.close records the
start time on the instance (_cc.job_started_at) and waits for a job younger
than 10 s, so a terminal that a reload adopted is not waited for, as in native.
owned.lua stop_buffer has no start time, so it waits for every job: that path
only runs after a reload or a provider switch, and the wait ends at the first
look for a job that has run exec.

The unit mocks of the snacks specs gain vim.loop.hrtime, and one gains
vim.fn.getpid, because the provider reads a clock and the wait reads the pid.

…d before exec

tests/helpers/hold_pty_child.c is an LD_PRELOAD shim that holds the child of a
pty job inside Neovim's init_child() and creates a file when it does. The new
integration spec runs a Neovim of its own (-u NONE, so that minimal_init.lua
does not wait for the exec and hide the race) per case, starts a Claude
terminal job, waits until the child is held and closes it. A plain jobstop is
the control and ends Neovim with SIGHUP in every run. The native close, the
snacks close (with a stand-in for Snacks) and the owned.lua stop keep Neovim
alive. On main the snacks and owned cases fail in 10 of 10 runs per build.

proof-pty-child-hangup.sh now compiles the same shim instead of a copy of it.

_Generated with xum • Model: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5-5 • Thinking: xhigh_
The wait for the exec of a job's child moved into owned.wait_for_exec, and
snacks.lua and owned.lua gained a call to it before jobstop. The model has no
processes and no fact reads the wait, so check.sh printed STALE with the model
passing (main: pass, 279492 distinct states) and every fact TRUE. The SKILL.md
bullet about the wait names the new places. Recorded with check.sh --record,
and check.sh then reports PASS.

… the exec wait

Review of the first head found two gaps in the wait that runs before jobstop.
The wait runs scheduled callbacks while the job still runs.

snacks.close cleared the mark of the terminal that it closes only for an
adopted one. An open() among the callbacks found a started terminal by its
mark and adopted the one that was closing, and the close then wiped it. The
mark now goes first for every terminal, as in native.close.

owned.lua stop_buffer read vim.bo[buf].channel again after the wait, and a
callback could have deleted the buffer. It now reads the channel first and
stops the job only when the buffer is still valid.

The unit specs gain one case for each. The OwnedStopOtherStops fact of
verify-terminal-lifecycle reads the new order (mark, wait for the exec,
jobstop, wait for TermClose, delete), and the SKILL.md notes say so.

_Generated with xum • Model: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5-5 • Thinking: xhigh_
CI runs the integration suite a second time under TMPDIR="odd tmp 50%". The
spec compiled the LD_PRELOAD shim into a folder of TMPDIR, and ld.so splits
LD_PRELOAD at spaces and colons, so it ignored the shim, the child was never
held, and the probe stopped after 5 s (the log shows "object '...odd' from
LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded"). The spec now compiles the shim into a
mktemp folder under /tmp when the TMPDIR-based path holds a space or a colon.

… and verify-diff-lifecycle

CI showed that verify-diff-lifecycle hashes lua/claudecode/terminal/native.lua,
owned.lua and snacks.lua too, and went STALE with only those three file lines
changed. The change cannot reach diff state, an openDiff answer, a disconnect
or a diff command: it adds an exec wait before jobstop in the snacks close and
the owned stop, and moves native's wait into owned.lua. check.sh of that skill
reports the model passing, so it is recorded as the SKILL.md allows.

verify-terminal-lifecycle: the OwnedStopOtherStops fact reads the new order,
check.sh --mutants reports that every guard is caught, and the record follows
the three file lines and the block hashes of snacks_close and owned_stop_buffer.

…k and the buffer check

The model counts a closing terminal as ended (JobEnded), so removing the mark
clear that snacks.close now runs before its exec wait left every fact TRUE,
and only a unit test caught it. A new fact SnacksCloseClearsMark reads the
order terminal = nil, the mark clear, owned.wait_for_exec and jobstop in
M.close. The model clears the mark in the snacks close as it does in native, and
the rule CloseNeverReuses breaks when this fact and OwnedLiveSkipsEndedJob are
both removed, as for NativeCloseClearsMark. The model has no wait before
jobstop, so the fact alone breaks no rule.

The OwnedStopOtherStops fact now also reads the buffer check that guards
jobstop in stop_buffer. SKILL.md names the check, adds the row for the new
fact, and says which facts read the wait (it said that none does).

_Generated with xum • Model: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5-5 • Thinking:
…space

The spec keeps the LD_PRELOAD shim out of a folder whose path holds a space or
a colon. CI runs a TMPDIR with a space, so dropping the colon from the pattern
kept every CI run green. The test is now a unit spec of
tests/helpers/ld_preload_path.lua, which the integration spec calls: a path
with a space, a path with a colon and a plain path. Dropping either half turns
that spec red (1 failure each).

_Generated with xum • Model: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5-5 • Thinking:
…SIGCHLD

The header said that the shim holds the child of a pty job. It holds every
forked child that calls signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_DFL) first, including libuv's
uv_spawn children such as each ps that nvim_get_proc starts where /proc is
missing. A test that times that path reads the hold as well.

_Generated with xum • Model: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5-5 • Thinking:
… colon or a percent sign

The script put its shim and probe into mktemp -d. LD_PRELOAD splits the shim path at a space or a colon, and luafile ends the name at a space and expands the percent sign. Under TMPDIR="odd tmp 50%" all three cases failed, on main too. The work folder now goes to /tmp when its path holds any other character than letters, digits and / . _ + -.

Generated with xum, Model: anthropic:claude-sonnet-5-5, Thinking: xhigh
…lone

The model now clears the mark in every snacks close, so a mutant of OwnedLiveSkipsEndedJob alone no longer breaks CloseNeverReuses. It breaks OpenShowsLiveClaude. check.sh --mutants printed NOT CAUGHT as expected for that row. SnacksCloseClearsMark joins the facts that pair with OwnedLiveSkipsEndedJob in SKILL.md.

Record before the merge of 191a3e24:

  • Both Codex threads are answered and resolved. Both are fixed in 12f1d45f.
  • The last verifier's style finding n4 (tests/helpers/ld_preload_path.lua is a module with one caller) is declined. The module exists so a unit spec can test the colon and space cases of the shim-folder choice, which no CI TMPDIR reaches, and the earlier verifier asked for exactly that testable shape. tests/helpers is where the repo keeps such helpers.
  • The other leftovers of both verifiers, and one README line that does not say the Snacks close clears the mark before the wait, are tracked in Deferred follow-ups from the 2026-11 fix run #603.

…s terminal and new-tab diffs are placed (coder#598)

## Summary

A `BufLeave` autocmd of the user's that enters another window no longer
makes Neovim load the Claude terminal into the user's window. The
terminal lands in the split that the plugin made for it. The providers
and the diff put the terminal into that split with a new helper,
`utils.win_set_buf_in_split`.

This PR replaces #518, which is closed. #518 repaired the swap after a
user's `BufLeave` autocmd had already redirected it, and each round of
verification found a new problem in that repair. This PR fires
`BufLeave` before the swap, so the autocmd cannot redirect it.

The helper fires `BufLeave` of the old buffer itself, in the split,
before the swap. It lets Neovim fire every other event of the swap, with
Neovim's own locks and in Neovim's own order. It fires no other event by
hand and it enters no other window to get them.

## Why

The providers make a split. The split shows the user's buffer. The
provider then calls `nvim_win_set_buf(split, terminal_buffer)`. Neovim
runs the `BufLeave` autocmds of the user's buffer inside that call. When
one of them enters another window (a window-switch autocmd, a session
plugin), Neovim loads the terminal into that window. The call named the
split, but the terminal lands in the window of the user's file, in two
windows, or in none.

Nine earlier versions of this fix broke other behavior, or left a
defect, and independent verifiers found each one:

- Version 1 fired `BufLeave`, `BufWinLeave` and `BufHidden` by hand
before the swap. It decided once, before the user's autocmds ran,
whether the buffer lost its last window. A hand-fired event also does
not lock the buffer.
- Version 2 let Neovim fire the events, but it moved the cursor to the
other window and back to do it. `BufLeave` then ran in the window of the
user's file, so a `BufLeave` autocmd that closes the window made Neovim
fire no `BufWinLeave` or `BufHidden` (an autosave did not run, and a
pending diff stayed pending with its proposal in no window). The extra
`WinEnter` ran a user's `startinsert` autocmd for terminal windows with
the terminal in the split. A `WinEnter` autocmd that closes the split
made `:ClaudeCodeOpen` fail. When `'eventignore'` listed the four window
events, the terminal's `BufWinEnter` autocmd did not run.
- Version 3 asked whether it ran inside an autocmd with a bare
`expand("<abuf>")`. Outside an autocmd that call raises E496 when
`'verbose'` is above 0 (`:verbose`, `nvim -V1`, `set verbose=1`), so
every placement that goes through the helper failed with that option
set: no new terminal, no hidden terminal shown, no terminal in a diff's
new tab. (The first start of a Snacks terminal does not go through the
helper, and it did not fail.) Under `:silent!` the call raises nothing
and sets `v:errmsg` to E496 instead. Version 4 left it there, and main
leaves it empty. The helper now gives `v:errmsg` back as it was. A
verifier found it. An earlier commit (7c525f6f) had removed the `pcall`
around the call, and its message said the call raises in no context. The
message was wrong. The `pcall` is back, and a spec runs the commands
with `'verbose'` at 1 and at 15 and under `:verbose`.
- Version 4 fixed version 3, and added a one-line warning for a closed
split. A verifier found defects in it: under `:silent!` with `'verbose'`
set the placement left E496 in `v:errmsg` (main leaves it empty), the
toggles logged an error after the warning, a wipe of the terminal's
buffer logged "closed the terminal's window" where no window closed, and
a guard (the cursor goes back to the window the show started in only
while that window exists) had no test.
- Version 5 fixed those. Its guard on the warning read the provider's
record of the buffer after a call that runs the user's autocmds. When a
`BufLeave` autocmd closed Claude (`:ClaudeCodeClose` or
`terminal.close()`), that record was nil, and the show raised E5108 in
16 of 16 native rows, where main raises nothing. A `BufLeave` autocmd
that wiped the buffer and started a new terminal drew a false message
the same way.
- Version 6 removed the warning and read the terminal's buffer into a
local before the autocmds of a show. A verifier found one gap in its
tests: a mutant that put `term.buf` back at the focused Snacks call
passed every spec, while it raised `Invalid 'buf'` in 12 of 12 rows of a
`WinNew` or `WinEnter` autocmd that closes Claude. My own mutant of that
line changed the focused and the unfocused call in one edit, so the
unfocused case killed it. Two comments in the toggles ("When it fails,
it has said why.") and one README sentence ("`:ClaudeCode` and
`:ClaudeCodeFocus` log what they log on main") were also false.
- Version 7 added those tests and fixed the comments of the toggles and
the shows. The readiness check of this PR then found a path that loses
text, which version 6 introduced in the helper. After `BufLeave`, a
user's autocmd can show another buffer X in the split. The helper then
swapped with `buffer!`, which skips the E37 check of a plain swap.
`buffer!` unloads or wipes X with its text when X is changed, no other
window shows it and its 'bufhidden' is `unload`, `delete` or `wipe`,
where a plain swap keeps X. In the probe of this path (two shapes: an
autocmd that creates X, and one that moves the user's unsaved file into
the split), version 7 lost the text in 24 of 40 pairs, and main in none.
- Version 8 refused the swap in that case: the helper returned false and
left the buffer in the split. A verifier found three problems. A new
native terminal raised E37, because a second swap after `termopen` tried
to put the terminal into the split that showed the buffer. A diff in a
new tab was built in another tab when the autocmd had entered a window
there. And in 28 of 40 probe pairs the terminal did not show where main
shows it, while main keeps the text.
- Version 9 replaced the refusal with a hide: the helper set the
'bufhidden' of a changed buffer to `hide` for the swap and gave it back.
A verifier then found that `buffer!` unloads or wipes a buffer with no
change too, when that buffer does not stay loaded on its own ('hidden'
off, or its 'bufhidden' is `unload`, `delete` or `wipe`). A terminal
with a running job lost its job, a scratch buffer lost its text, and a
normal file lost its undo history, its marks and its buffer-local
options, where main keeps the buffer loaded. In the verifier's probe of
that path version 9 unloaded or wiped the buffer in 42 of 80 pairs (main
in none), and 84 rows on 0.12.3 and 56 on v0.8.0 of its caller matrix
with a terminal or a scratch buffer as X were worse than main.

Version 9 replaced the refusal of version 8 with a hide for a changed
buffer, and this version (10) hides every buffer that a plain swap would
leave loaded and that `buffer!` would unload or wipe (see How, item 2).
The helper gives its 'bufhidden' back. The diff enters the new tab again
when the helper returns false. Version 7 had added the tests that
version 6 lacked and fixed two comments and the README sentence. The
code of the two shows is still the code of version 6, and only their
comments changed: the comments of the toggles and of the two shows now
say that a false return can also mean that the terminal's buffer is
gone, when a `BufLeave` autocmd wiped it or closed Claude. The comments
of the toggles also say that the next toggle then starts a new terminal.
Version 6 removed the warning: the show logs what main logs. It reads
the terminal's buffer into a local before the autocmds that a show runs.
The `:silent!` fix and the cursor guard stay. The failure of version 5
is gone: a `BufLeave` autocmd that closes Claude during a show raises no
error in 24 of 24 rows of the verifier's probe (main raises in the 8
Snacks rows), and a `WinNew` or `WinEnter` autocmd of the show's own
split that closes Claude raises no error in 8 of 8 rows (main raises in
all 8).

## How

`utils.win_set_buf_in_split(win, buf, opts?)` does this, when it can:

1. It fires `BufLeave` for the buffer that `win` shows, with `:doautocmd
<nomodeline> BufLeave`, in `win`, while that buffer still shows there.
`:doautocmd` passes on the error of a raising autocmd, as a plain swap
does.
2. The buffer that `win` shows now can differ from the old one: an
autocmd of that `BufLeave` showed another buffer X there (a terminal
with a running job, a scratch buffer, a changed or an unchanged file),
or closed the other window of the old one. A plain swap leaves X loaded
and hidden, but `buffer!` unloads or wipes X when X is not kept by
'hidden' and no other window shows it. A changed buffer loses its text
only when its 'bufhidden' is `unload`, `delete` or `wipe`. Otherwise a
terminal loses its job, a scratch buffer its text, and an unchanged file
its undo history (a wipe also loses its marks). The helper then sets X's
'bufhidden' to `hide` for the swap, with `:noautocmd` so that no
`OptionSet` autocmd runs, and sets the old value again after the swap,
also when the swap raises. The old buffer, when it is still the buffer
in the split, gets the same only when it is changed and an autocmd
closed its other window: a plain swap decided before that autocmd ran,
and then unloads or wipes it with its text when its 'bufhidden' says so
(d1, below). An old buffer with no change is left as it is, because a
plain swap unloads or wipes it in the same way. The helper does not use
`:buffer` without `!`, because that raises E37 or opens the 'confirm'
dialog.
3. When an autocmd of that `BufLeave` moved the cursor, it puts the
cursor back in `win` under `:noautocmd`, with no event.
4. It swaps with `buffer!` under `:noautocmd`. For the swap,
`'eventignore'` holds the caller's value plus `BufLeave` (it ran
already) and `OptionSet` (so setting the option is silent). `:noautocmd`
sets the caller's value again afterwards, also when the swap fails, with
no `OptionSet`.
5. Neovim then fires `BufWinLeave`, `BufHidden` and `BufUnload` for a
buffer that lost its last window (also when a `BufLeave` autocmd closed
the other window of it), `BufEnter` and `BufWinEnter`. They run after
the `BufLeave` autocmds are done, with the locks that Neovim holds.

The helper makes the plain `nvim_win_set_buf` instead when it runs
inside an autocmd (it asks with `pcall(vim.fn.expand, "<abuf>")`, and an
error of that call means "outside an autocmd"), when `win` is not the
current window, when `win` shows the buffer already, in the command-line
window, with `'winfixbuf'`, and when a plain swap could refuse to leave
the old buffer (it is changed, not hidden and shown in no other window).

When a `BufLeave` autocmd closes the split, the helper shows nothing and
returns false. The providers then leave the terminal hidden, as for any
hidden terminal, and the next `:ClaudeCodeOpen` shows it. The show logs
nothing about it, and neither do `:ClaudeCode` and `:ClaudeCodeFocus`.
Without focus, the show puts the cursor back in the window it started
in, when that window still exists (the autocmd can have closed it too).
When a `BufLeave` autocmd wipes the terminal's buffer, no window closed
and nothing is left to show. The helper shows nothing and returns false,
and the show logs nothing, as on main. Both providers read the
terminal's buffer number into a local before the split and the swap,
because a user's autocmd of either can close Claude, which clears the
provider's record of the buffer. A plain swap loads the terminal into
the window that the cursor ends in.

`opts.ignore_bufenter` adds `BufEnter` to the ignored events, as before,
for the unfocused Snacks show and the diff.

Call sites: the new terminal, the swap after `termopen`, and the hidden
terminal in `terminal/native.lua`. The re-shown split, focused and
unfocused, in `terminal/snacks.lua`. The terminal in a diff's new tab in
`diff.lua`.

## What a user's autocmd sees, compared with main

1. `BufLeave` for the old buffer runs in the split, as on main. The
events and their order are a plain swap's: the sequence of events is
equal to main's in 27 of 27 shapes on Neovim 0.12.3 and 21 of 21 on
v0.8.0. In 21 and 18 of them the trace is exactly equal, and in the
other 6 and 3 (the shapes that ignore `BufEnter`: the diff in a new tab,
the unfocused Snacks show) main also fires `OptionSet` for
`'eventignore'` twice and this branch fires none (the shapes: no
redirect, defaults, `'nohidden'`, an unsaved file. The paths: native
new, hidden and repaired, focused and unfocused, Snacks hidden, and
`openDiff` in a new tab). No extra `WinLeave` or `WinEnter` runs.
2. A `BufLeave` autocmd that closes the other window of the file (the
`BufHidden` autosave shape), and one that closes the window that the
pending diff's proposal is in, make Neovim fire `BufWinLeave` and
`BufHidden` after the autocmd returns, as on main. The autosave runs and
the diff is answered, nested or not.
3. A `WinEnter term://*` autocmd that runs `startinsert` leaves the user
in Normal mode after a diff in a new tab, as on main.
4. A raising `BufLeave` autocmd fails the command with its error and
shows no terminal, as on main. The message has more frames around it
than on main.
5. When `'eventignore'` lists `WinLeave`, `BufLeave`, `WinEnter` and
`BufEnter`, the `BufWinEnter` autocmd for terminal buffers still runs,
because Neovim fires it.

Differences from main that remain, all measured:

- **No `OptionSet` event runs while the swap runs.** This includes the
`OptionSet` events for options that a `BufEnter` or `BufWinEnter`
autocmd of the user's sets during the swap. The helper adds `OptionSet`
to `'eventignore'` so that setting the option fires no event of its own.
- **A change of `'eventignore'` that an autocmd makes during the swap is
undone afterwards**, because `:noautocmd` sets the caller's value again.
- **A `BufLeave` autocmd that closes the split leaves the terminal
hidden.** The helper returns false and the providers keep the terminal
hidden (a new terminal starts and runs, a hidden one stays hidden, a
diff in a new tab opens with no terminal). On main the terminal lands in
the window that the cursor ends in. A pending diff then shows the
difference: on main the terminal replaces the proposal in the user's
window, the proposal is hidden and the diff is rejected. Here the
proposal stays on screen and the diff stays pending, 20 of 44 pairs of
Opus's handler repro (close the current window by `nvim_win_close(0)`,
`:close` or `:hide`, nested or not). The 24 pairs of the other handlers
(`:enew`, `:edit`, `:buffer`, `wincmd p`, no-op, and the moves with no
terminal) have the same outcome as main. In 12 of them (`:enew`,
`:edit`, `:bprevious`, both focus modes, both builds) main fires
`BufWinLeave` and `BufHidden` for the proposal while another window
still shows it, and this branch does not.
- **A `BufLeave` autocmd that shows another buffer X in the split.** The
terminal shows as on main, and X stays loaded with its text, its running
job and its 'bufhidden' as it was, whatever X is: a changed or an
unchanged file, a terminal with a running job or an exited one, a
scratch buffer, a help or a quickfix buffer, a buffer that a float or a
window of another tab also shows. The helper hides X for the swap, and
the probe sees no `OptionSet` run, as on main. Two differences remain.
Neovim fires `BufWinLeave` and `BufHidden` for X when the swap leaves it
(240 of the 288 pairs of the verifier's probe over 12 kinds of X, the
pairs where X leaves its last window). Main fires none for X, and fires
them for the user's file A instead, while A still shows in another
window and X is the current buffer. And a `BufHidden` autocmd of X sees
`hide` as its 'bufhidden' while the swap runs, when the helper hid X. In
the verifier's probe of 12 kinds of X, 288 of 288 pairs equal main's in
every field that the probe prints, and in the 80 pairs of the probe of
version 9 (the unloaded or wiped X) 80 of 80 equal main's. In the
lost-text probe all 40 pairs equal main's.
- **A show without focus, when the autocmd entered a third window before
it closed the split:** the cursor goes back to the window it was in, as
after any show without focus (in version 3 it stayed in the third
window). The show logs nothing, and neither do `:ClaudeCode` and
`:ClaudeCodeFocus`. A new terminal that starts in this shape logs
nothing either, and the cursor ends in the window it was in, with focus
as well. When a hidden terminal is shown with focus, the cursor stays
where the autocmd put it. On main the terminal lands over the third
window's buffer, and with focus the call raises `Invalid window id`.
- **`'eventignore'` holds `BufLeave` for the whole swap**, because it
cannot name the old buffer. A `++nested` `BufEnter` or `BufWinEnter`
autocmd that leaves a buffer during the swap gets no `BufLeave`
(`autocmd BufWinEnter term://* ++nested wincmd p`). The layout and the
mode are equal to main's. I did not fix this: a fix needs another
mechanism, which the stop rule of this work forbids. The README and the
helper's comment say it.
- **A `BufLeave` autocmd that shows another buffer X in the split, the
events.** Neovim fires `BufWinLeave` and `BufHidden` for X, the buffer
it put there and left, whatever X is. On main the swap fires them for
the user's file A instead, which still shows in another window while X
is the current buffer, and fires none for X. A spec pins it.
- **Limits that follow from X really leaving the split. The user's own
autocmd causes each one.** Because the swap hides X, the user's
`BufWinLeave` and `BufHidden` autocmds of X run, and each does what it
was written to do. I found no way to remove them without a new
mechanism. `'eventignore'` cannot name X, so ignoring the two events
would also drop them for the user's own file (the autosave and
diff-answer specs pin them), and the verifier's trial of that change
differed from main in 64 other pairs.
- **m1: an autosave autocmd on `BufHidden` or `BufWinLeave` that writes
the buffer of the event writes X's typed text to disk.** 32 of 32 rows,
main 0. No work is lost. On main a curbuf-style autosave (`:write` when
`&modified`) writes X too, because X is the current buffer when main
fires the events for A.
- **m2: a `BufWinLeave` or `BufHidden` autocmd of X that raises makes
the placement raise.** 128 rows (the four kinds of X, both builds). The
split keeps X, and its 'bufhidden' is back. Main raises nothing. The
same autocmd raises on any hide of X.
- **m3: a user `BufHidden` autocmd that cleans up the hidden buffer
removes X.** 96 rows: 64 with a scheduled `bwipeout!` (a terminal's job
ends in 16 of them) and 32 with `nvim_buf_delete`. Main 0. The user's
autocmd asks for the removal. Version 9 unloaded or wiped X by itself in
the same shapes, and now the user's autocmd decides.
- **m5 (v0.8.0 only): a user `BufWinEnter` autocmd of the terminal that
runs `bwipeout! X` wipes X as asked.** 32 pairs. Main on v0.8.0 keeps X,
because it leaves X with a stale window count (`:ls` shows X as active
with no window). Main on 0.12.3 wipes X like this branch.
- **d1 (better than main): a `BufLeave` autocmd closes the other window
of a changed old buffer whose 'bufhidden' is `unload`, `delete` or
`wipe`.** A plain swap decided before the autocmd ran, so main unloads
or wipes the buffer with its text (12 of 16 pairs, 'hidden' on and off,
both builds). The helper hides it for the swap and keeps it (16 of 16).
- **Session shape of gpt's round-5 repro** (`'hidden'` off, a `BufLeave`
autocmd that enters the first window, a `WinEnter` autocmd that swaps
the plugin's own buffer into it): the unsaved text stays and the job
runs on both trees. On this branch the user's file shows in no window,
because the session plugin's own swap replaced it in the first window,
while the terminal is in the split. On main the file shows in one
window. In 3 more rows per build of Opus's matrix (a hidden show without
focus, with `'nohidden'`, `'bufhidden'` unload or wipe), the user's own
options unload (2 rows) or wipe (1 row) the unmodified file when the
user's window swaps it out. Main keeps the file in a window but leaves
the terminal in none. No text, write or job is lost in any of these
rows.
- **Rows where this branch lacks an event that main fires**: 179 of 1189
on 0.12.3 and 164 of 825 on 0.8.0 lack a `BufWinLeave`, `BufHidden` or
`BufUnload` of the user's file by my count. The verifier's rerun with
its own script counts 174 and 166. I did not find out why the two counts
differ by 5 and 2 rows. They are the shapes where main loads the
terminal over the user's file (the redirect: a `BufLeave` autocmd that
enters another window, another tab or a float, or closes the split), so
the file loses its window on main and keeps it here. The verifier found
that in 161 and 154 of its rows this branch keeps the file in its
window, so no event is owed there (I did not count that again). In 12
rows on 0.12.3 and 9 on 0.8.0 the file ends in no window on this branch
with no event, and in 3 more rows per build (by the verifier's rerun)
the user's own options unload or wipe it, see the session shape above: a
`WinEnter` autocmd of the user's swaps a buffer into the user's window
while the terminal is shown without focus. Neovim fires no event for a
window change inside a non-nested autocmd. On main the redirect hid the
file first.

## Evidence

Labels such as F1, N1, m4, m9, P1 and P2 name findings from the
independent verifiers' reports on earlier versions. Opus and gpt are the
two models that ran verification lanes. Real Neovim 0.12.3 and v0.8.0,
headless, a stub `sleep` as the Claude job, no real `claude`. Snacks
runs on 0.12.3 only, from a clone in my scratch directory (Snacks is not
a test dependency). The large matrices (Opus's, gpt's, my swap and edge
matrices) ran on `4097d8da`. Since then this branch changed `lua/` in
`utils.lua` (the `pcall` around `expand` removed, put back, and
`v:errmsg` given back), and later the 'bufhidden' hide of the swap
(`f7dc2d87`, `9e0ed389`, `d3484a9c`), in `diff.lua` (the new-tab
re-entry, `507e671a`), in `native.lua` and `snacks.lua` (the
closed-split branch of a hidden show: the cursor and its guard, and the
buffer number read into a local) and in docs. The large matrices never
ran against the 'bufhidden' hide or the re-entry. The merges of main
brought in changes in `diff.lua`, `diff_inline.lua`, `cwd.lua`,
`terminal.lua`, `selection.lua`, `init.lua` and others. The large
matrices did not run again on those. These ran again in iteration 6, on
`c4951459` and on main `692b460c`: the handler matrix, the F1 repro,
real Snacks with `'verbose'`, and the probes of the verifiers of
iterations 4 and 5 (the closed split with the user's window closed too,
a wipe of the terminal's buffer, `:silent!`, `:ClaudeCode` and
`:ClaudeCodeFocus`, a `BufLeave` autocmd that closes Claude, and a
`WinNew` autocmd that does). The verifier of iteration 7 ran them again
on `1ba631b9` and on main `d05b0101`, and got the same counts. "Main" is
`9bfc39c9` for the large matrices, and `692b460c` for everything that
ran in iteration 6. The current main, `d21f310a`, has #536 and #602
among later commits, and #602 changed terminal files that this PR also
touches. An independent verifier reran the caller, handler and restore
matrices and the 12-kinds probe on the merged head `ef27d623` and on
main `d21f310a`: no row is worse than main, and the head's rows equal
its earlier run apart from file paths in error text.

events differ as listed above (the `BufLeave` of m1, the `OptionSet`
events of main, the events of main's redirect) and in the two nested
rows (`autocmd BufWinEnter term://* ++nested wincmd p`). In the focused
nested row this branch fires 12 events and main fires 9: four more and
one fewer. The four more: after the nested `wincmd p`, the provider's
focus step enters the split again (`BufLeave` and `WinLeave` of the
file, then `WinEnter` and `BufEnter` of the terminal), where main's API
swap had restored the window with no events. The one fewer is the
`BufLeave` of the terminal that main fires for the nested `wincmd p`
(the `'eventignore'` limit above). In the unfocused nested row main
fires 13 events and this branch fires 8. Main fires five more: two
`BufLeave` of the terminal, and a second `WinLeave` of the terminal,
`WinEnter` and `BufEnter` of the file. The counts are the same on both
builds. I did not find out why main fires that set. The final layout and
mode are equal on both builds. I did not change this: a change needs a
mechanism beyond this one |

raised, and this branch ends in the mode that the focus asks for (the
verifier's list). Run again in iteration 6 against main `692b460c`: the
same counts, and every row has the same result as in the run of
iteration 5 (0 of 912 and 0 of 708 differ). The verifier of iteration 7
ran it on `1ba631b9` against main `d05b0101`: the same counts, and the

## Not covered

- **`Snacks.terminal.open` for a terminal that Snacks creates for the
first time.** Snacks makes that window itself, so a `BufLeave` autocmd
still redirects it, as on main. It is 4 of the 12 Snacks rows.
- **`WinNew` autocmd that opens and enters its own window during the
provider's `:vsplit`.** The terminal replaces that window's buffer, on
main and here (12 of 12 rows). I did not change it.
- **Callers inside an autocmd.** The helper makes the plain swap there,
so an autocmd that calls `:ClaudeCode` from a nested `BufEnter` still
redirects, as on main. A spec pins that the plain swap fires `BufLeave`
once.
- **An unsaved file that no other window shows, with `'hidden'` off.** A
plain swap raises E37 there, and the helper makes the plain swap, so it
raises E37 too, as on main.
- **Neovim 0.10 and 0.11.** I ran 0.12.3, v0.9.5 (the four placement and
diff specs only) and v0.8.0. Snacks ran on 0.12.3 only, and has no
integration spec, because snacks.nvim is not a test dependency. The
Snacks sites have unit specs with a fake window model, and the Snacks
rows above ran against a real clone.
- **The large matrices after `4097d8da`.** Later commits of this branch
change `lua/` in `utils.lua`, `native.lua`, `snacks.lua` and `diff.lua`
(see Evidence), and main's merges changed other files. The unit and
integration specs, the handler matrix, the F1 repro, the N1 and orders
probes, and the closed-split and nested rows of `own_probe` ran again
(on `c4951459`, before the 'bufhidden' hide, the diff's re-entry of the
new tab and main's #536 and #602. The caller, handler, restore and
12-kinds matrices ran again on `ef27d623`). The handler matrix ran again
on `8b28b377`. Opus's, gpt's and my swap and edge matrices did not.
- A user's `BufHidden` autocmd on X that closes Claude now runs during
the swap, and it closes Claude. Nothing is lost.
- **Follow-up (m9, from iteration 3, not worse than main): a `BufLeave`
autocmd that runs `:ClaudeCodeOpen` or `:ClaudeCode` while a hidden
terminal is shown.** This branch shows the terminal in two windows (the
split and the nested split). Main shows it in the nested split only and
leaves the split with the user's file. Each tree ends with one extra
window, and neither raises. I did not change it.
- **Follow-up (P1, pre-existing, not worse than main): a `BufLeave`
autocmd that closes the window a native show started in, while the split
survives.** The show without focus ends with
`nvim_set_current_win(original_win)` (`native.lua:500` at `ef27d623`)
and raises `Invalid window id`, on main and on this branch (the same row
on 0.12.3 and v0.8.0, 12 of 12 rows equal in the verifier's probe).
Snacks does not raise. I did not change it.
- **Follow-up (P2, pre-existing, not worse than main): a `BufEnter` or
`BufWinEnter` autocmd of the terminal that closes Claude during a
show.** The autocmd runs inside the swap, after the terminal is in the
split. The show then enters the window that the close removed and raises
`Invalid window id` (`native.lua:494` at `ef27d623` in the focused
native show, and `snacks.lua:438`, the full-height `nvim_win_set_height`
step of the Snacks show). 38 of 48 rows raise on main and on this
branch, and the 48 pairs are equal. I did not change it. AGENTS.md says
not to add a check of the split after the swap for a close that a user
autocmd made.
- **The swap after `termopen` in a native start** is a plain swap when
the split then shows a changed buffer that a plain swap can refuse to
leave, as on main. The verifier of version 10 probed it: a `TermOpen`
autocmd that shows another buffer in the split never reaches that swap
(`nvim_buf_call` puts the terminal buffer back into the split when it
returns), and a `BufWinEnter` autocmd of the first placement does reach
it. 96 of 96 pairs equal main's for each.
- **No integration spec runs Snacks** (snacks.nvim is not a test
dependency). The `'verbose'` integration spec covers the native provider
and the diff. The Snacks sites have unit cases with a fake window model
and a fake `expand`, and I ran real Snacks with `'verbose'` by hand (4
of 4 ok, in the Evidence table).

## Tests

- `tests/integration/terminal_placement_contract_spec.lua` (21 cases)
and `terminal_placement_diff_answers_spec.lua` (16 cases): what a plain
swap gives in shapes where it already works. They use the public
commands and `openDiff`, so they pass on main: 37 of 37 on Neovim 0.12.3
and v0.8.0. They failed 30 of 37 on iteration 2 of this PR. A shared
runner, `tests/helpers/placement_child.lua`, starts one headless Neovim
for each case, so a crash or a hang fails one case.
- `tests/integration/terminal_placement_spec.lua` (114 cases) and
`terminal_placement_shapes_spec.lua` (13 cases): the redirect, the
events of the swap against a plain swap, the closed split (the cursor
after a hidden terminal's show and that the show logs nothing, the
user's window closed too, `:ClaudeCode` and `:ClaudeCodeFocus`, a wipe
of the terminal's buffer), Claude closed by a `BufLeave` autocmd
(`:ClaudeCodeClose` or `terminal.close()`, through each of the four
entry points) or by a `WinNew` or `WinEnter` autocmd of the show's own
split (each through the four entry points, with and without focus), the
buffer that an autocmd showed in the split (two shapes of a changed
buffer with each 'bufhidden' value, for the helper and for each caller:
a new native terminal, a native show with and without focus, the Snacks
show with and without focus, and the diff in a new tab; and, for the
helper, a scratch buffer, a terminal with a running job and an unchanged
file with 'hidden' off and each 'bufhidden' value), the `'eventignore'`
value, the shapes where the helper makes a plain swap, and the diff in a
new tab. Red on main `692b460c`, counted when the placement spec had 102
cases (it now has 114): raw, 61 of 102 placement cases and 12 of 13
shapes cases fail on 0.12.3 (60 and 12 on 0.8.0), and most of them fail
for lack of the helper. With a plain-swap alias for the helper in a copy
of main (it honors `ignore_bufenter`), 31 of 102 on 0.12.3 and 32 on
0.8.0, and 12 of 13 shapes cases, fail, and they fail for the behavior.
On iteration 5 (`bdd389db`), 37 of 102 and 2 of 13 fail on both builds,
and 17 of the 74 unit cases of the helper and the Snacks show fail. On
version 8 (`8b28b377`), 17 of 102 and 2 of 13 fail on both builds, and
10 of the 74 unit cases fail: the cases of a changed buffer in the split
for each caller, and the diff case of an autocmd that enters the first
tab. On version 6 (`64c43323`) all 33 pass, because its Lua is right:
only a mutant shows the gap.
- `tests/integration/terminal_placement_verbose_spec.lua` (8 cases): the
native new terminal with `'verbose'` at 1 and at 15, under `:verbose
ClaudeCodeOpen` and under `:silent!`, the hidden terminal at 1, under
the modifier and under `:silent!`, and `openDiff` in a new tab at 1.
Each case also asserts that `v:errmsg` is empty. It goes through the
public commands, so it passes on main (8 of 8 on both builds). On
iteration 3 (`aaeb33c8`) it fails 6 of 6 of the cases that existed then,
and on iteration 4 the 2 `:silent!` cases fail. On this head it passes 8
of 8.
- `tests/unit/utils_win_set_buf_spec.lua` (44 cases, a fake that logs
the calls in order, with a fake `expand` that raises outside an autocmd
when `'verbose'` is set, or sets `v:errmsg` under `:silent!`), and
`tests/unit/terminal/snacks_unfocused_show_spec.lua` (35 cases: the
Snacks unfocused show through the real helper, with the same fake
`expand`, a fake `nvim_set_current_win` that raises for an invalid
window as Neovim does, a fake `nvim_buf_is_valid` that raises for a nil
buffer as Neovim does, the closed split with the cursor and nothing
logged, the user's window closed too, a wipe, and Claude closed by a
`BufLeave` autocmd or by an autocmd of the split, each with and without
focus). The fake has no 'buftype', so it cannot tell a file from a
scratch buffer: the integration cases pin the unchanged file. The other
provider specs fake a window model with no buffer options, so they use
`tests/helpers/plain_placement.lua`, a plain swap for the helper.
- Mutants of the helper and its call sites: 100 mutants, each one text
edit of `utils.lua`, `native.lua`, `snacks.lua` or `diff.lua`, with a
syntax check of the result before it runs. They are my mutants of the
earlier rounds (a guard dropped or inverted, an event not fired or not
ignored, the swap by API or without `!`, a validity check dropped, a
call site back on a plain swap, `v:errmsg` not given back, the toggles'
error back), the 13 of the verifier of iteration 4 (V1 to V13), and 7
for this round: the helper's call sites that read the module's record of
the buffer (`bufnr`, `term.buf`) after the split or the swap, and the
warning put back with and without that read (L1 to L7). All 100 fail at
least one spec: 74 fail the unit specs, and 26 fail only the integration
specs, on Neovim 0.12.3. The unmutated control passed in each of the 3
workers. V6 and V10, the two mutants that drop
`nvim_win_is_valid(original_win)` in the native and the Snacks
closed-split branch, survived every test of iteration 4. V6 fails the
integration case with the user's window closed too, and V10 fails the
matching Snacks unit case. These 100 ran on `c4951459`. They had no
mutant at the focused Snacks call on its own (my L2 changed both Snacks
calls in one edit), and the focused call had no test, which the verifier
of iteration 6 found (his mutant Lk). On `1ba631b9` my run of the
verifier's 19 mutants and an unmutated control gave: all 19 die (9 by
the unit specs, 10 by the integration specs only), and the control is
clean on both builds. The verifier of iteration 7 ran 25 (those 19 and 6
new ones, for example the local read moved after the split): all 25 die,
and his control stays green. I ran the verifier's 19 mutants again on
this head: all 19 die with the same split (9 by the unit specs, 10 by
the integration specs only), and the control is clean on both builds.
For the helper that hides the buffer for the swap and the fix of the
diff I ran 16 mutants of my own: the restore of 'bufhidden' dropped, the
hiding dropped, the restore without its validity check, no `pcall`
around the swap, the error re-raised with a position, the old value not
restored, the condition inverted or dropped, the option set by
assignment (which runs `OptionSet` autocmds) for the hide and for the
restore, the check of the buffer without its 'hidden', other-window or
changed leg, and the three changes of the diff's re-entering of the new
tab. All 16 die. The 13 mutants of the helper die by the unit specs, and
10 of them by the integration specs too. The restore without its
validity check dies by the unit case only, because `setbufvar` on a
wiped buffer does nothing on both builds, and the check is a guard after
user autocmds. The error re-raised with a position survived my first
run, because the unit case compared the error without its position, and
it dies now. The three mutants of the diff die by the integration specs
only. Lk dies by the new Snacks case with focus, and Lk2 (the unfocused
call) by its twin. For `d3484a9c` I ran 33 more mutants of the helper
and the diff (the new condition and each clause of it, `old` read after
the autocmds, the hide and the restore, the guards of the plain swap,
and the diff's re-entry of the new tab): 30 die by the unit specs, and
the 3 of the diff die by the integration specs. The 15 mutants of the
verifier of version 9 that apply (H1 to H5, H7 to H11, H13, H14, K2a to
K2c) die. The verifier of version 10 ran V1 to V10 on the condition. V10
(skip the hide for an unchanged buffer with an empty 'buftype', a normal
file) survived every unit and integration spec until the 4 cases of an
unchanged file were added. Those 4 fail under V10 on both builds.
- `verify-terminal-lifecycle`: the facts of the native start read
`utils.win_set_buf_in_split` instead of `nvim_win_set_buf`. `check.sh`
passes and `covered.lock` is recorded. In iteration 6 I read the model
for `show_hidden` and `cc_show` before I recorded: it describes the show
of a hidden terminal as "a window shows the terminal" and does not model
the closed-split branch. The change removes the warning there, keeps the
cursor return, reads the buffer number into a local, and adds no tracked
state (`winid`, `term.win`, the job). `verify-diff-lifecycle`:
`check.sh` passes, and `covered.lock` has only file hash changes (no
block of the model changed).

## Gate

On `ef27d623` (this branch with main `d21f310a` merged), with GNU
`timeout` first on `PATH`, a stub `claude` after it (no real `claude`)
and a scratch `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`:

1. `mise run clean && mise run all` exits 0. treefmt changes no file.
Lint: 0 warnings and 0 errors in 213 files. Busted: 2013 successes, 0
failures, 0 errors, 43 pending.
2. The CI steps for the integration job, run locally
(`scripts/run_integration_tests_individually.sh`): Neovim 0.12.3, 1041
successes, 0 failures, 0 errors, in a plain run and in a run under a
`TMPDIR` with a space and a `%`. Neovim v0.8.0: 1037 successes, 0
failures, 0 errors, in both runs. No `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/nvim` appears (the
real-cache check). The runs include the contract, diff-answers, verbose,
shapes and placement specs.
3. All five `check.sh` pass (`verify-diff-lifecycle`,
`verify-terminal-lifecycle`, `verify-mention-queue`,
`verify-selection-tracking`, `verify-ws-connection`). Since version 9
the change in `utils.lua` is the condition of the hide and comments. The
helper adds no tracked state (`winid`, `term.win`, the job, the active
diffs) and no new caller path. No fact reads FALSE, and I changed no
fact. Both `covered.lock` files were recorded again after the last merge
(main's #602 had taken the terminal lock first), after I read the diff.
`check.sh --mutants` passed on iteration 4's head (`31bd8931`), and I
did not run it again.
4. The mutants are in Tests: 33 of mine on the condition and the diff
die, the verifier's 15 of version 9 that apply die, and V1 to V10 of the
verifier of version 10 die, V10 only since the 4 cases of an unchanged
file.
5. The handler matrix (912 rows on 0.12.3 and 708 on v0.8.0), the caller
matrices (280 and 200 rows with a changed X, 560 and 400 with a terminal
or a scratch buffer as X) and the probes of the unloaded or wiped X (80
pairs), of 12 kinds of X (288 pairs) and of the restore (960 pairs) ran
on `d3484a9c`, and the verifier of version 10 ran them on it too: 0 rows
worse than main in every one. Since `d3484a9c` this PR changed `lua/`
only in comments of `utils.lua` (checked by hash of the file without its
comment lines) and in the README of `terminal/`. The other changes of
`lua/` since then (`server/tcp.lua`, `diff.lua`, `terminal/native.lua`,
`terminal/owned.lua`, `terminal/snacks.lua` and READMEs) came with
main's merges.

The verifier of version 10 ran `mise run all` on `d3484a9c` and on a
merge of it with main `f28eba7d`: rc 0 and 1958 successes, 0 failures, 0
errors, 41 pending.

Main moved since `bcf1f084` by eight commits (skills, the format check,
the CI workflow spec, the integration runner, #536 and #602), and I
merged them. The last merge took #602 after it had recorded the terminal
lock.

No item failed on any complete run of this head.
