Inline comments:
In `@engine/Library.lua`:
- Around line 134-135: Update the type annotations for table.foreachi to
preserve the list element type: declare separate generics for the element and
callback result, type list as an array of the element generic, and use that
generic for the callback value while returning the result generic. Keep the
existing function behavior unchanged.
In `@lua-ls-addon/class-support.lua`:
- Around line 106-113: Update findPrecedingName to validate the token preceding
the scanned identifier and return nil for dotted targets such as Foo.Bar and
multi-assignment targets such as A, B. Preserve valid standalone identifier
detection so stripWrappers does not insert synthetic statements at unsupported
targets.
In `@lua-ls-addon/export-env.lua`:
- Around line 177-186: Update both exportEnv.scan and
exportEnv.rewriteReferences to recognize bare # as a line-comment marker and
skip through the next newline before processing strings or other syntax. Ensure
plugin.lua applies the same handling consistently to the raw text passed to both
operations, preventing apostrophes inside # comments from entering string
parsing.
- Around line 230-241: Update the function-declaration handling in
exportEnv.scan so local function declarations capture the declared name after
localList is cleared, including local function Name(...). Ensure
localOrParamNames records Name so rewriteReferences does not rewrite it as a
top-level export, while preserving existing handling for non-local function
declarations.
In `@lua-ls-addon/hash-comments.lua`:
- Around line 75-81: Update the scanners so # comments skip through the next
newline before tokenization can inspect their bodies: in
lua-ls-addon/hash-comments.lua lines 75-81, replace the single-character
increment after the -- diff with advancement past the line; in
lua-ls-addon/table-hints.lua line 45, add a # dispatch branch with the same
behavior; and in lua-ls-addon/for-in-pairs.lua lines 109-110, add it to both the
main loop and the inner expression loop that searches for do.
In `@lua-ls-addon/plugin.lua`:
- Around line 190-203: Update the scan aggregation around exportEnv.scan to
return and collect each part’s raw shadowing-name set, then intersect the
combined allExports set with the union of shadowing names after processing every
part. Remove the per-part unsafeNames check so names exported by one part but
shadowed in another are marked unsafe.
- Around line 103-113: Update the merge logic around the `merged` construction
to emit pure insertions (`finish < start`, such as the module header) before
replacement text at the same `start`, so the generated output preserves the
top-level export instead of commenting it out. Keep existing ordering and
range-merging behavior unchanged for other groups.
- Around line 231-329: The hook registration path around hookIndex must
immediately reprocess targetUri after newly registering uri, so targets analyzed
before their hooks do not remain stale. Use the existing supported
OnSetText/reprocessing mechanism at this shared registration site, while
avoiding redundant reprocessing when the hook was already registered.

🌐 Web query:
According to the official LuaLS annotation documentation, verify that ---@Generic V, R, ---@PARAM list V[], and ---@PARAM callback fun(key: integer, value: V):R|nil preserve callback element types.
💡 Result:
According to the official LuaLS documentation and community discussions, the behavior regarding the use of ---@generic, ---@param list V[], and ---@param callback fun(key: integer, value: V):R|nil for preserving callback element types is limited and known to have inconsistencies [1][2]. While LuaLS supports generic type parameters for classes and functions [3][4], the implementation of generic type propagation through nested callback parameters (such as fun(key: integer, value: V):R|nil) is not explicitly documented as a supported feature for preserving the generic type V in the way standard static type systems (like TypeScript) would [5][1]. Key findings from official documentation and developer discussions include: 1. Generic Capture Limitations: The ---@generic annotation primarily uses backticks (e.g., ---@param arg T``) to capture literal string values from arguments to infer class/type names [3][1][4]. This system is focused on return type inference rather than propagating generic constraints through function parameters in complex callback signatures [1][2]. 2. Callback Inference: LuaLS has ongoing work regarding function parameter inference. While recent updates (e.g., Lua.type.inferParamType) improve how local functions used as call arguments are inferred, there is no official guarantee or established mechanism in the annotation syntax that ensures a generic `V` defined in one parameter will correctly bind to the `value: V` parameter within a `callback` function parameter [6]. 3. Community/Maintenance Status: Developers have noted that using generics in anything other than `@return` tags often results in incomplete type narrowing [2]. The documentation explicitly states that generics are still a "work in progress" [3][4]. If you are attempting to use this pattern, you may encounter scenarios where the type `V` is not correctly narrowed or identified within the callback signature, as the language server's current generic engine does not consistently support deep propagation through function types [1][2].

🌐 Web query:
site:luals.github.io/wiki/annotations LuaLS generic function parameter callback V[]
💡 Result:
In LuaLS, you can define a generic function parameter that utilizes a callback with an array of a generic type by using the @generic annotation combined with a function type definition. To define a generic type T and an array of that type (T[]), you use the @generic annotation to declare the type placeholder and then reference it in your parameters or return types [1][2]. For callbacks, LuaLS supports inline generic function type definitions using the fun syntax [2]. Here is an example of how to combine these concepts: ---@Generic T ---@PARAM callback fun(items: T[]) ---@PARAM data T[] local function process(callback, data) callback(data) end -- Usage process(function(items) -- items is inferred as string[] print(items[1]) end, {"a", "b", "c"}) In this example: 1. The @generic T annotation creates a placeholder for a type [1][2]. 2. The callback parameter is defined using the fun(items: T[]) syntax, where T[] specifies an array containing elements of the generic type T [1][2]. 3. When the function is called, LuaLS infers the specific type (e.g., string) based on the provided arguments, allowing it to correctly type-check the callback and the data array [1][2].
Citations:
Preserve the list element type in table.foreachi.
list: any erases the element type before callback receives it, so LuaLS cannot provide type diagnostics or completion for value. Use separate generics for the list element and callback result:
---@generic V, R
---@param list V[]
---@param callback fun(key: integer, value: V):R|nil
---@return R|nil🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Reject dotted and multi-assignment targets in findPrecedingName.
findPrecedingName scans identifier characters but does not validate the preceding token. For Foo.Bar = ClassFn(Base) {} or A, B = ClassFn(X) {}, it returns Bar or B. stripWrappers then inserts synthetic statements at that identifier, which can produce invalid Lua such as Foo.---@class Bar or Foo.local _ = Base.

Record names declared by local function Name(...).
exportEnv.scan clears localList after function, so it records function but not Name in localOrParamNames. If a bare top-level export also uses Name, rewriteReferences treats the local declaration as a safe export and inserts M., producing invalid local function M.Name(...).

Emit pure insertion text before replacement text at the same start.
The three localization files beginning with # also contain top-level exports. stripHashComments emits { start = 1, finish = 1, text = '--' }, while the module header emits { start = 1, finish = 0 }. The current merge produces --local M = {}\n, which comments out the module declaration and leaves the remainder of the first banner line as code.

Compute unsafe names across the union of parts, not per part.
exportEnv.scan intersects shadowing names with that text's own exports before returning unsafeNames (export-env.lua lines 319-324). This loop then reads unsafeNames[name] only for the same part's exports.
If the target file exports Name and the hook file declares a local, parameter, or loop variable named Name, the hook's scan never reports Name, because the hook does not export it. Name stays in safeNames, and line 320 rewrites its bare occurrences inside the hook's shadowing scope to M.Name. That is the wrong rewrite the unsafe-name design prevents for single files.
To close this, expose the raw shadowing-name set from exportEnv.scan as a fifth return value and intersect the union of exports with the union of shadowing names after the part loop.

Reprocess targetUri when registering a new hook. If the target runs OnSetText first, it is analyzed without the hook. Lines 255–264 only update hookIndex; they do not invoke OnSetText again. The target remains stale until it is reopened or edited, so imports can miss hook exports. Arrange a supported reprocess at this shared registration site instead of relying on a later refresh.
