Problem: [security]: The netbeans defineAnnoType command passes typeName, fg and bg
unsanitized to coloncmd(), allowing a malicious server to inject
arbitrary Ex commands via '|'. Similarly, specialKeys does not
validate key tokens before building a map command.
Solution: Validate typeName, fg and bg against an allowlist of safe
characters before passing them to coloncmd()

Problem: channel: can bind to all network interfaces in ch_listen()
(after v9.2.0153)
Solution: Restrict to a valid hostname, do not allow to bind on all
network interfaces (Zdenek Dohnal).
This will prevent unintentional binding the process to public network
interfaces, and opening Vim to communication from outside network if
firewall allows it.

Problem: runtime(tar): some issues with lz4 support
Solution: Fix bugs (see below) (Aaron Burrow)
The tar plugin allows users to extract files from tar archives that are
compressed with lz4. But, tar#Extract() builds malformed extraction commands
for lz4-compressed tar archives. This commit fixes three issues in that code.
The first affects archives with a .tlz4 extension and the other two affect
archives with .tar.lz4 extension (but one of these is symmetric to the issue
that .tlz4 archives had).
(1) When trying to extract .tlz4 archives the command created by
tar#Extract looked like this:
tar -I lz4pxf foo.tlz4 foo
This isn't right. It should be something like this:
tar -I lz4 -pxf foo.tlz4 foo
This was happening because tar.plugin is just substituting on the
first - in "tar -pxf". This works fine if we just add a simple flag for
extraction (eg, z for .tgz), but for lz4 we need to add "-I lz4".
I don't believe that there is an obvious good way to fix this without
reworking the way the command is generated. Probably we should collect
the command and flags separately and the flags should be stored in a
set. Then put everything together into a string just before issuing it
as an extraction command. Unfortunately, this might break things for users
because they have access to tar_extractcmd.
This patch just makes the substitution a little bit more clever so that it
does the right thing when substituting on a string like "tar -pxf".
(2) .tar.lz4 extractions had the same issue, which my patch fixes in
the same way.
(3) .tar.lz4 extractions had another issue. There was a space missing
in the command generated by tar#Extract. This meant that commands
looked like this (notice the lack of space between the archive and output
file names):
tar -I lz4pxf foo.tar.lz4foo
This patch just puts a space where it should be.
Finally, I should note that ChatGPT 5.4 initially identified this issue
in the code and generated the test cases. I reviewed the test cases,
wrote the patch, and actually ran vim against the tests (both with and
without the patch).

Problem: dist#vim9#Open() fails to open files with spaces on Linux
because Launch() splits the command string. Also,
background GUI viewers (e.g., xdg-open) crash with SIGPIPE
when Vim destroys the default job_start() IO pipes.
Solution: Use job_start() with 'sh -c' to let the POSIX shell parse
the shellescaped quotes safely. Set 'in_io', 'out_io', and
'err_io' to 'null' to completely detach the background
process and prevent pipe crashes. Unify the Launch()
execution block across all operating systems.

Problem: Vim9: void function return value inconsistent between
script and :def
Solution: Make void built-in functions like bufload() return void
consistently (Hirohito Higashi)
In Vim9 script, calling a void built-in function (e.g. bufload()) at the
script level did not set rettv to VAR_VOID, making it appear to return
0. Inside :def it correctly returned VAR_VOID and raised E1031. Set
rettv to VAR_VOID after calling a ret_void built-in function in Vim9
script so the behavior is consistent.
Also fix the documentation for bufload() and ch_logfile() to correctly
state that the return type is void.

Explain how stdin/stdout/stderr are connected in term_start():
- On Unix, they default to pty; only "err_cb" switches stderr to a pipe,
which may cause output order differences due to buffering.
- On MS-Windows with ConPTY, they are always pipes and stdout/stderr
share the same pipe, so "err_cb" cannot separate them.

Problem: json_decode() accepted keywords case-insensitively, violating
RFC 7159. Both json_decode() and js_decode() silently accepted
lone surrogates, which are invalid Unicode.
Solution: Only allow lowercase keyword in json_decode(), reject lone
surrogates, improve encoding performance in write_string() and
blob byte serialization.
1. Fix surrogate pair range check (0xDFFF -> 0xDBFF) so only high
surrogates trigger pair decoding. Reject lone surrogates that do
not form a valid pair instead of producing invalid UTF-8.
2. Use case-sensitive matching for JSON keywords (true, false, null,
NaN, Infinity) in json_decode() per RFC 7159. js_decode() retains
case-insensitive behavior.
3. Replace double ga_append() calls for escape sequences with single
GA_CONCAT_LITERAL() calls, halving function call and buffer growth
check overhead.
4. Replace vim_snprintf_safelen() for blob byte encoding (0-255) with
direct digit conversion.

of function bodies for grouping commands too by enclosing
a delimited function body, e.g. "{" and "}", in a fold and
leaving its function header, e.g. "function f()", out of
