When --walker=follow is used, symlinks like Wine's z: -> / cause fzf to
traverse the entire root filesystem. fastwalk's built-in loop detection
only catches this on the second pass, but a single pass through / already
causes severe CPU and memory exhaustion.
This fix resolves each symlink-to-directory target to its absolute real
path and skips it if it is an ancestor of (or equal to) the walker root.
Close#4710
When --walker=follow is used, symlink following is now handled by
fastwalk's IgnoreDuplicateDirs adapter which tracks visited directories
by device+inode. This prevents the same directory from being entered
more than once, avoiding effectively infinite traversal when a symlink
points outside the walker root.

Separate item identity from cursor tracking:
- Add --id-nth=NTH to define item identity fields for cross-reload ops
- --track reverts to a simple boolean flag
- track-current action no longer accepts nth argument
- With --multi, selections are preserved across reload-sync by matching
identity keys in the reloaded list
Close#4718Close#4701Close#4483Close#4409Close#3460Close#2441
Allow --track to accept an optional nth expression for cross-reload
tracking. When a reload is triggered, fzf extracts a tracking key from
the current item using the nth expression, blocks the UI, and searches
for a matching item in the reloaded list.
- --track=.. tracks by entire line, --track=1 by first field, etc.
- --track without NTH retains existing index-based behavior
- UI is blocked during search (dimmed query, hidden cursor, +T*/+t*)
- reload unblocks eagerly on match; reload-sync waits for stream end
- Escape/Ctrl-C cancels blocked state without quitting
- track-current action accepts optional nth: track-current(1)
- Validate nth expression at parse time for both --track and track()
- Cache trackKeyFor results per item to avoid redundant computation
- Rename executeRegexp to argActionRegexp

Fix#4709
Use go-shellwords instead of strings.Fields to parse --with-shell,
so paths with spaces can be properly quoted.
ln -s /bin/bash "/tmp/ba sh"
fzf --with-shell='/tmp/ba\ sh -c' --preview 'echo hello world'
fzf --with-shell='"/tmp/ba sh" -c' --preview 'echo hello world'
When users define custom _fzf_compgen_path or _fzf_compgen_dir functions,
FZF_COMPLETION_PATH_OPTS and FZF_COMPLETION_DIR_OPTS were not applied
because the options were only computed inside the walker fallback branch.
Close#4592
This change provides the following improvements:
- Changes the view of the command history list, so that the script no longer depends on perl for performance.
- Enables syntax color highlighting on fish v4.3.3 and newer.
- Provides a preview window with the selected commands, and expanded view of the highlighted command if available.
- Improves the delete functionality, by successfully handling very large numbers of selected commands.
- Inserts commands in their formatted form with `<Alt-Enter>`.
---
* fish: Change history list view
The view of the command history is changed, so that no manipulation is
performed on the output of history command: The history item count
number is replaced by the Unix time of the command, multi-line display
is disabled and line wrapping is enabled by default. On fish v4.3.3
and newer, the use of ANSI color codes for syntax highlighting is now
possible, while the script no longer depends on perl for performance.
Fixes#4661
* fish: Reformat selected history commands with ALT-ENTER
* Add $FZF_WRAP environment variable
The variable is set when line wrapping is enabled. It has the value
`word` if word wrapping mode is set, otherwise it has the value `char`.
* fish: Add command history preview
The preview shows the highlighted command and any selected commands,
after first being formatted and colorized by fish_indent. The timestamp
of the highlighted command in the preview is converted to strftime
format "%F %a %T" if the date command is available.
The preview is hidden on start, and is displayed if more than 100
columns are available and one of the following conditions are met:
- The highlighted item doesn't completely fit in list view (line
wrapping is enabled for the preview and is now disabled for the list).
- The highlighted item contains newlines (multi-line commands or
strings).
- The highlighted item contains chained commands in a single line, that
can be broken down by the formatter for cleaner view.
- One or more commands are marked as selected.
* fish: Handle deletion of large number of selected history entries
* fish: Change wrapping options for the preview-window
Support double, curly, dotted, and dashed underline styles via --color
(e.g. underline-curly) and ANSI passthrough (SGR 4:N, 58, 59) with --ansi.

Thanks to @shtse8 for the test cases.
Motivation:
`--color base16` can be a better default than `dark` or `light`, since it uses
the colors defined by the current theme. This usually blends in more
naturally and works well in both light and dark modes.
However, some elements were previously hard-coded with white or black
foreground colors, which can cause rendering issues in certain terminal
themes.
