GetLine and LineColToByteOffset fetched each line's last byte (a piece
lookup, an allocation and a cache write) to see whether it was a newline;
the line index already says so: every line but the last ends at one.
LineColToByteOffset runs on every insert. RebuildLineIndex scans with
memchr instead of byte by byte.
Removed, having no callers: OptimizedSearch (built only into its own
test), UndoNodePool.h, SwapManager::RecordSplit/RecordJoin (replay still
reads SPLIT/JOIN), PieceTable::Reserve/Capacity and its capacity
constructor, Buffer's write-only render column, Editor's mode, no-kill,
dirtyex and repeatable flags and the UCount getter, and
RetryPolicy::Conservative.

- PCRE2: compile with the ANYCRLF newline convention and DOLLAR_ENDONLY,
as ECMAScript reads '.' and '$'. With PCRE2's default (LF only) '.'
matched the CR of a CRLF line, so regex replace-all deleted CRs.
- Replacement $0 is the whole match, two digits are read greedily and a
group the pattern lacks expands to nothing, as std::regex_replace
(libstdc++) does; these cases are now compared in the tests.
- Plain search visits overlapping matches going forward too, and counts
them, as the backward search found them ('aa' in 'aaa' read 2/1).
- The recovery prompt's replayed content is used on 'y' only if the
journal is unchanged since; otherwise it is replayed again.
- A version 1 journal continued after recovery is rewritten as a
compacted version 2 journal when it needs a chunked checkpoint,
instead of receiving records an older kte would skip. (The version is
read through a separate descriptor: the journal fd is write-only.)

- A checkpoint larger than one record (16 MiB) is written as CHKPT_BEGIN
[size u64, CRC-32], CHKPT_DATA chunks and CHKPT_END. Replay assembles it
and applies it only when complete with the size and CRC matching; an
unfinished one is a torn tail (valid_bytes stops before it). Buffers
over 16 MiB could not be checkpointed before: a lost record left their
journal behind for good, and they were never compacted. Records are
written as segments straight from the snapshot. Header version 2;
version 1 journals are still read.
- Checkpoint thresholds scale with the buffer size (edits of half its
size; the timer only after a sixteenth; compaction at twice its size;
gap retries spaced by size), and a checkpoint that would compact is
written straight into the compacted journal instead of being appended
and then copied.
- The recovery prompt keeps the content it replayed for its preview and
installs it on 'y', instead of replaying the journal a second time.
- A base file over 64 MiB gets its CRC from the writer thread before it
creates the journal (it had none, so touching such a file made its
journal unusable for recovery).
- kte_tests takes optional name substrings to run a subset of tests.

- OpenFromFile builds the new content in a separate PieceTable and
swaps it in only when complete. A reload that ran out of memory used
to leave the buffer empty (filename, journal and dirty state intact),
and the next save truncated the file.
- Editor::ProcessPendingOpens catches exceptions from opening (it runs
in every frontend's loop, outside command dispatch, so bad_alloc on a
huge file ended the editor); the terminal draw is guarded too.
- The hard-link save copy uses a unique mkstemp name, so a leftover
copy no longer blocks every later save; if no copy can be created the
file is still written in place.
- When no temp file can be created in the directory (file writable,
directory not), an existing regular file is written in place instead
of the save failing.

- Recovery works when another named buffer is current. On that path
OpenFile's NotifyFilenameChanged deleted the journal (old path ==
new path) that was about to be replayed; the swap was lost and the
file opened without the edits (pre-existing).
- After recovering from a journal with a torn final record, the torn
bytes are truncated before the session appends to it (ReplayFile now
reports the valid prefix length). A journal that recovers nothing is
removed instead of appended to.
- Reload restarts the journal; recovery used to replay the edits the
reload discarded.
- Opening a file that is already open switches to its buffer (in
OpenFile and before the recovery check). Two buffers for one file
interleaved records in one journal, and closing either unlinked it.
- Swap file names escape '!' and '%', so distinct paths no longer
share a journal ('/x/a!b' vs '/x/a/b'). Swap files for paths that
contain those characters get new names.
- The gap flag is cleared when the journal restarts, and a gap that
cannot be closed (buffer too large to checkpoint) is reported once.
- crc32's table is initialised thread-safely; writer-thread error
reports identify the buffer by journal path instead of racing on
Buffer::Filename(); Close() no longer retries on EINTR (the fd is
already released and may have been reused).

A secondary GUI window shared the primary's buffer vector but attached
buffers through its own SwapManager. Closing the window destroyed that
manager while buffers still held its recorders, so the next edit called
into freed memory; Rehome through the wrong manager also dropped
journaling for the primary's buffers.

Multi-window:
- Per-window ImGui contexts (fixes input, scroll, and rendering isolation)
- Per-instance scroll and mouse state in ImGuiRenderer (no more statics)
- Proper GL context activation during window destruction
- ValidateBufferIndex guards against stale curbuf_ across shared buffers
- Editor methods (CurrentBuffer, SwitchTo, CloseBuffer, etc.) use Buffers()
accessor to respect shared buffer lists
- New windows open with an untitled buffer
- Scratch buffer reuse works in secondary windows
- CMD-w on macOS closes only the focused window
- Deferred new-window creation to avoid mid-frame ImGui context corruption
Swap file cleanup:
- SaveAs prompt handler now calls ResetJournal
- cmd_save_and_quit now calls ResetJournal
- Editor::Reset detaches all buffers before clearing
- Tests for save-and-quit and editor-reset swap cleanup
