Problem: none of the four presets defined an error_parser, so the
diagnostic infrastructure went unused out of the box.
Solution: add parsers for typst (file:line:col short format), latexmk
(pdflatex file-line-error + summary), and pandoc (parse errors, YAML
exceptions, generic errors). Enable machine-parseable output flags in
typst and latex args. Pandoc parser is shared between markdown and
github presets.
Problem: in toggle mode, each BufWritePost immediately spawned a new
compilation, killing any in-flight process. Rapid saves wasted cycles
on compilers like latexmk.
Solution: add a 500ms debounce timer per buffer. The BufWritePost
callback starts/restarts the timer instead of compiling immediately.
Timers are cleaned up on unwatch and BufWipeout.
Problem: no way to expose compiling/watching state to statusline
plugins like lualine or heirline without polling status() and
formatting it manually.
Solution: add `require('preview').statusline()` that returns
'compiling', 'watching', or '' for direct use in statusline components.
Problem: all presets hardcoded `open = { 'xdg-open' }`, making them
Linux-only. The compiler already handles `open = true` via
`vim.ui.open()`, which is cross-platform.
Solution: change all four presets to `open = true`.
Problem: after closing a viewer, there was no way to re-open the last
compiled output without recompiling.
Solution: track the most recent output file per buffer in a `last_output`
table that persists after compilation finishes. Add `compiler.open()`,
`M.open()`, and wire it into the command dispatch.
* refactor(config): replace array preset syntax with preset_name = true
Problem: setup() mixed array entries (preset names) and hash entries
(custom providers keyed by filetype), requiring verbose
vim.tbl_deep_extend boilerplate to override presets.
Solution: unify under a single key=value model. Keys are preset names
or filetypes; true registers the preset as-is, a table deep-merges
with the matching preset (or registers a custom provider if no preset
matches), and false is a no-op. Array entries are dropped. Also adds
-f gfm to presets.github args so pandoc parses input as GFM.
* ci: format
* fix(presets): parenthesize gsub output to suppress redundant-return-value
* ci: remove superfluous things
* refactor: remove PreviewWatch* events and clean up docs
Problem: PreviewWatchStarted/PreviewWatchStopped were redundant with
the status() API, and the doc had a wrong author, stale INSTALLATION
format, and "watch mode" language left over from the watch → toggle
rename.
Solution: Remove the events and their tests. Fix the doc author,
rename INSTALLATION → SETUP to match sibling plugins, replace "watch
mode" with "auto-compile" throughout, and drop the events from EVENTS.

* ci: format
* fix(presets): parenthesize gsub output to suppress redundant-return-value
Problem: :Preview watch only registered a BufWritePost autocmd without
compiling immediately, required boilerplate to open output files after
first compilation, and was misleadingly named.
Solution: Rename watch → toggle throughout. M.toggle now compiles
immediately on activation. Add an open field to ProviderConfig: true
calls vim.ui.open(), a string[] runs the command with the output path
appended, tracked per-buffer so the file opens only once. All presets
default to { 'xdg-open' }. Health check validates opener binaries.
Guard the async compile callback against invalid buffer ids.
