- 2025-01-12: **Custom Tabline Function**: Implemented configurable custom tabline to replace Neovim's hardcoded path shortening (e.g., `a/p/file.txt`). Function in `lua/utils.lua` allows controlling: (1) number of full parent directories via `utils.tabline_full_parents` (default: 1), and (2) shortening length via `utils.tabline_shorten_length` (default: 3 characters). Example: with defaults, `/path/to/my/project/src/file.txt` becomes `pat/to/my/project/src/file.txt`. User preference for seeing enough context in shortened paths while keeping tab width manageable.

- 2025-12-06: Enable Markdown LSP = `marksman` (lightweight, good MD features).
- 2025-12-06: Use legacy `listchars` and `showbreak` values (preserve muscle memory).
