Problem: oil sets buftype='acwrite' inside view.initialize(), which runs
in an async finish() callback after adapter.normalize_url(). BufEnter
fires before finish() completes, so user autocmds that check buftype on
oil buffers see an empty string instead of 'acwrite'.
Solution: set buftype='acwrite' early in load_oil_buffer() alongside the
existing early filetype='oil' assignment, before the async gap. The
redundant set in view.initialize() is harmless (idempotent).
Closes: stevearc/oil.nvim#710
Problem: when nvim-web-devicons returns no highlight for an unrecognized
file extension, the icon gets nil for its highlight group. Directories
have OilDirIcon as a targetable fallback, but files have nothing.
Solution: define OilFileIcon (linked to nil, matching OilFile) and use
it as the fallback in the devicons provider when get_icon returns a nil
highlight. The mini.icons provider already returns highlights for all
files so only the devicons path needs this.
Resolves: stevearc/oil.nvim#690
Problem: the rendering code constructs "OilExecutable" .. "Hidden" for
hidden executables, but that group was never defined. Hidden executables
silently lose all highlighting instead of being dimmed like every other
hidden entry type.
Solution: add OilExecutableHidden linked to OilHidden, consistent with
OilFileHidden, OilDirHidden, and all other hidden variants.
Based on: stevearc/oil.nvim#698
Problem: executable files were visually indistinguishable from regular
files in oil buffers.
Solution: add OilExecutable highlight group (linked to DiagnosticOk)
that detects executables via Unix permission bits (S_IXUSR|S_IXGRP|
S_IXOTH) and Windows executable extensions (.exe, .bat, .cmd, .com,
.ps1). Applied to both regular files and symlink targets.

Problem: the is_hidden_file and is_always_hidden config callbacks
only received (name, bufnr), making it impossible to filter by entry
type, permissions, or other metadata without reimplementing entry
lookup.
Solution: pass the full oil.Entry as a third argument to both
callbacks. Existing configs that only accept (name, bufnr) are
unaffected since Lua silently ignores extra arguments. The internal
should_display function signature changes from (name, bufnr) to
(bufnr, entry) to reflect its new contract.
Cherry-picked from: stevearc/oil.nvim#644
Problem: when close() is triggered from visual or operator-pending
mode (e.g. pressing q after d in an oil buffer), the buffer closes
instead of canceling the pending operation. This happens because
keymaps without an explicit mode default to "" which covers normal,
visual, select, and operator-pending modes.
Solution: check the current mode at the top of close() and send
<Esc> to cancel the mode instead of proceeding with the close. The
check covers all visual modes (v, V, CTRL-V), select modes (s, S,
CTRL-S), and operator-pending submodes (no, nov, noV, noCTRL-V).
Based on: stevearc/oil.nvim#495
Problem: the BufAdd autocmd that hijacks directory buffers was always
created, even when default_file_explorer was false. The guard inside
maybe_hijack_directory_buffer made it a no-op, but the autocmd still
fired on every BufAdd event.
Solution: wrap the BufAdd autocmd creation and initial buffer hijack
in a config.default_file_explorer conditional. The guard inside
maybe_hijack_directory_buffer is kept as defense-in-depth.
