## master (unreleased)

### New features

- [#4156](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4156): Add `cider-form-targeting`: when set to `smart`, the `last-sexp` commands (`cider-eval-last-sexp`, `cider-macroexpand-1`, `cider-inspect-last-sexp`, etc.) resolve their target form from the cursor position (on a delimiter, inside a form) instead of requiring point to sit right after it; the default `preceding` keeps the classic behavior.
- [#4142](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4142): Bring CIDER's dynamic font-locking (highlighting REPL-defined macros, functions, vars and deprecated/instrumented/traced symbols) to `clojure-ts-mode` buffers via tree-sitter; previously it only worked under `clojure-mode`.
- [#4145](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4145): Add `cider-preferred-clojure-mode` (default `auto`) controlling which Clojure major mode CIDER uses to font-lock the code it renders (REPL input/results, doc examples, overlays, xref labels, etc.); when set to (or auto-detecting) `clojure-ts-mode`, those snippets get tree-sitter highlighting instead of `clojure-mode`'s.
- [#4146](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4146): Have CIDER's own Clojure display buffers (macroexpansion, evaluation results, tracing) honor `cider-preferred-clojure-mode` too, so they open in `clojure-ts-mode` when that's your preference instead of always `clojure-mode`.
- [#4143](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4143): Highlight the `#break`/`#dbg`/`#light` debugging reader tags in `clojure-ts-mode` buffers too.
- [#4117](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4117): Add `cider-use-completing-read-for-symbol` (off by default): when enabled, symbol prompts (e.g. `cider-doc`, `cider-find-var`) read through `completing-read` over a lazy, runtime-backed collection, so they work with `completing-read` UIs (Vertico, Ivy, Helm) and annotate candidates with their type and namespace.
- [#4129](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4129): Render completion annotations as an aligned type/namespace column (via an `affixation-function`) in UIs that support it, such as the built-in `*Completions*`, Corfu and Vertico.

### Changes

- [#4149](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4149): Make the nREPL message log easier to reach: add "Show nREPL messages" to the nREPL menu, reflect the logging toggle's on/off state there, and have `nrepl-show-messages` offer to enable logging when it's off instead of erroring.

### Bugs fixed

- [#4152](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4152): Stop the dynamic font-lock locals scanner from treating the default expressions in an `:or` destructuring clause (e.g. `{:keys [x] :or {x (some-default)}}`) as local variables, so references there keep their normal highlighting.
- [#4150](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4150): Stop dropping stray output from long-lived background processes (e.g. a `core.async` go-loop still printing under a finished eval's id): once that id is evicted from the completed-requests cache, its `out`/`err` is now routed to the REPL instead of being discarded with a "No response handler with id N found" warning.
- [#4140](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4140): Fix `cider-eval-dwim` (and defun evaluation) not descending into a `(comment ...)` form in `clojure-ts-mode` buffers: it now binds `clojure-ts-toplevel-inside-comment-form` alongside the `clojure-mode` variable.
- [#4139](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4139): Fix source-based find-usages (`M-?`) missing alias- and namespace-qualified references (e.g. `m/foo`), so a var used through its alias from other namespaces is now found, not just the bare occurrences in its defining namespace.
- [#4136](https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/4136): Fix a custom ClojureScript REPL init form being sent unwrapped when it starts with a call like `(dorun ...)` or `(doseq ...)`, which the previous `(do` prefix check mistook for an existing `do` block.
