Follow-up to the first deferred P2 finding in #616.

Point-only retained-row reuse previously assumed that absolute line numbering
leaves the current row's geometry unchanged. GNU try_cursor_movement instead
requires the frame-local lface definitions of line-number and
line-number-current-line to be equal, tolerating one level of direct
:inherit (src/xdisp.c:19912-19918, src/xfaces.c:4516-4594).

Changes:

• add lisp_faces_equal_in_frame, comparing every LFACE_ATTRS slot with
  GNU's direct, symbol-valued :inherit tolerance;
• use it for display-line-numbers modes other than relative/visual,
  including the default value when no buffer-local binding exists;
• decline the shortcut when the buffer remaps either face, because Neomacs
  realizes buffer-local face remappings on top of the frame lfaces;
• keep the existing relative/visual rejection.

Regression coverage:

• default relative/visual settings decline;
• default and buffer-local nil/t/absolute settings;
• GNU's (t :inherit line-number) definitions reuse, while a :height
  current-line face declines;
• warm retained rows reuse for default absolute numbering and requery when
  the current-line face differs.

Validation (rebased onto upstream/main at 689ff8c2a5):

• cargo nextest run -p neovm-core --lib -E 'test(emacs_core::xdisp) | test(emacs_core::xfaces)': 534 passed
• cargo nextest run -p neovm-core --lib 'line_number': 15 passed

The chrome half of the #616 follow-up is a separate PR.

Walkthrough

The change extends retained display-row reuse checks to account for point-dependent line-number rendering. It adds frame-local face comparison and tests for absolute numbering, face inheritance, and warm-row reuse.

Changes: Retained display-row reuse

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Frame-local face comparison crates/neovm-core/src/emacs_core/display/xfaces/mod.rs, crates/neovm-core/src/emacs_core/display/xdisp/tests/xdisp_test.rs	A new helper resolves frame-local face aliases and compares face attributes. Optional inheritance comparison accepts direct inheritance when other attributes match or are unspecified. Tests cover inheritance and differing attributes.
Line-number eligibility and row reuse crates/neovm-core/src/emacs_core/display/xdisp/mod.rs, crates/neovm-core/src/window/mod.rs, crates/neovm-core/src/emacs_core/display/xdisp/tests/xdisp_test.rs	The eligibility check receives a frame ID. Nil numbering remains eligible; relative and visual numbering do not. Absolute numbering qualifies when neither face is buffer-remapped and the frame-local face definitions compare equal. Tests check warm-row reuse and layout re-query behavior. The window method documentation now describes additional freshness conditions.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 11708

Retained rows are now reused after point movement only when line-number rendering is shown to be independent of point, and otherwise rows are re-queried. No merge-blocking behavior risk was identified. One test fixture could be tightened to better detect a wrong-buffer lookup.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: line-number face comparison for retained-row reuse in display code. It is specific and matches the summary (new lisp_faces_equal_in_frame check gating point-only reuse for absolute numbering). It is a conventional-commit style title under 72 characters, so it is clear to a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the purpose: a follow-up to a deferred P2 finding in #616 that makes point-only retained-row reuse compare line-number and line-number-current-line faces, with GNU behavior references. It lists the changes, the decline conditions for buffer remaps, the regression tests, and the validation runs. This matches the raw summary and the objectives.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 45.45% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 11 functions across 4 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Give the other buffer a truly opposite display-line-numbers value.

The comment says that the current buffer gets the opposite admission conditions. The goal is to prove that the gate reads the queried window's buffer. When reuse_after_move is true, this loop sets display-line-numbers to t in other_buffer. After this PR, t with equal line-number faces passes line_numbers_are_point_independent, so it is not an opposite condition.

As a result, the reuse cases in posn_at_point_reuses_warm_rows_for_default_absolute_numbers_after_point_moves cannot detect a gate that reads the wrong buffer for line numbering. Use relative for display-line-numbers when reuse_after_move is true. That value always rejects reuse.
