Fixed

• Table escaped pipes — cells containing escaped pipes (\|) no longer corrupt cell boundaries during navigation, text object operations, or embedded cell editing write-back. All pipe-boundary detection across 7 files now uses shared escape-aware utilities (findUnescapedPipes() / splitCellsEscapeAware()) in table-utils.ts. Escaped pipes (\|) are treated as cell content; \\| (escaped backslash + real pipe) is correctly treated as a boundary via backslash-parity checking.
  • Plugin: src/vim/table-utils.ts (new: findUnescapedPipes(), splitCellsEscapeAware(), countPrecedingBackslashes()), src/vim/table-render-widget.ts, src/vim/table-operations.ts, src/vim/table-auto-format.ts, src/vim/table-nav-controller.ts, src/text-objects/table-cell.ts, src/motions/tables.ts (all updated to use shared utilities)
• Vimrc file I/O timing — readVimrcFile() now uses stat() as a readiness probe before read(), distinguishing genuinely empty files (stat.size === 0, no retry) from timing-empty reads (stat.size > 0, retry with extended backoff 50/100/200/400ms). fileExists() uses stat() instead of a full read(). On retry exhaustion, a user-facing Notice is shown. The vimrcLoading flag is now wrapped in try/finally so a failed loadVimrc() call no longer permanently blocks future retry attempts. The same stat()+retry pattern is applied to readLuaFile() in the Lua config loader.
  • Plugin: src/vimrc/loader.ts (readVimrcFile, fileExists), src/lua/loader.ts (readLuaFile), src/main.ts (try/finally around vimrc loading)
• Oil which-key labels not appearing — getCommandLabels() in OilKeybindingManager returned empty when oil bindings were not yet applied (the if (!this.applied) return [] guard prevented labels from being registered during rebuildWhichKey()). Labels are now always returned — they are static metadata from OIL_MAPPINGS, valid regardless of whether the vim mappings are currently active.
  • Plugin: src/oil/keybindings.ts (removed applied guard from getCommandLabels())
• Live grep UI blocking on large vaults — the live grep picker source now uses chunked async iteration (50 files per chunk) with event loop yields between chunks, preventing UI freezes during searches on vaults with many files. Functionally identical results.
  • Plugin: src/picker/sources/live-grep.ts (chunked iteration with window.setTimeout(0) yields)

Changed

• Oil g? help uses VimInfoModal — g? in Oil now opens a modal dialog (Key/Action table) instead of a custom DOM overlay. This follows the same pattern used by :marks, :buffers, and :registers when the picker is disabled. Dismissible via Escape.
  • Plugin: src/oil/keybindings.ts (showOilHelp rewritten to use VimInfoModal), styles.css (removed .vim-motions-oil-help* CSS)

Tests

• 5 e2e tests in test/specs/table-escaped-pipes.e2e.ts (new): di| with \| content, \\| as real pipe boundary, ]| navigation skipping \|, yi| yanking cell with \|, :tablerealign preserving \| cell content

Documentation

• KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md: Table escaped pipes → Fixed; g? oil help command → Fixed (was listed as "planned but not yet implemented"); oil which-key integration → Fixed; surround ys dot-repeat with tag/function → clarified as working at runtime (test infrastructure limitation only); vimrc timing section updated with improved retry mechanism
• KNOWN_LIMITATIONS.md: Added two new Oil limitations — which-key/g? not working in non-editor context (no prior editor leaf), and which-key "all" mode intercepting multi-key Oil bindings (g?, g., gs, gf)
