This major refactor enhances marksman.nvim's robustness, performance, and maintainability while preserving full backward compatibility. The plugin now provides enterprise-grade error handling, memory management, and user experience improvements.

Key Improvements

Robustness & Error Handling

  • Comprehensive error handling with graceful fallbacks
  • Automatic backup/restore for corrupted storage files
  • Atomic file operations with validation
  • Enhanced input validation with clear error messages

Performance & Memory

  • Debounced save operations (configurable 100-5000ms)
  • Lazy module loading with cleanup functions
  • Project root caching with smart expiration
  • Memory usage monitoring via get_memory_usage()

Code Quality & Documentation

  • JSDoc-style documentation with @param/@return annotations
  • Modular design with clear separation of concerns
  • Comprehensive CONTRIBUTING.md for community development
  • Linting configuration with .luacheckrc

API Improvements

  • Standardized return values: {success, message, data}
  • Configuration schema validation with constraints
  • Enhanced mark validation and sanitization
  • Expanded language support for smart naming

User Experience

  • Better error feedback and notifications
  • Enhanced UI with dynamic sizing and error handling
  • Improved search functionality across multiple fields
  • Statistics and diagnostics commands

New Configuration Options

  • debounce_ms: Configurable save debouncing (500ms default)
  • Enhanced validation for max_marks (1-1000 range)
  • Backward-compatible configuration schema

Breaking Changes

None - all changes maintain full backward compatibility.

The codebase is now community-ready with comprehensive documentation, robust error handling, and optimized performance while maintaining the focused, single-purpose design philosophy.
