This commit completes the migration from Packer to Lazy.nvim, bringing
improved performance, better lazy-loading capabilities, and a modern
plugin management experience.
## New Files
- lua/config/lazy.lua: Bootstrap code with auto-installation
- lua/plugins/*.lua: Organized plugin specs by category:
- ui.lua: Colorscheme, statusline, file explorer
- navigation.lua: Harpoon, Telescope, Neogit
- lsp.lua: Complete LSP suite (lsp-zero, Mason, nvim-cmp)
- treesitter.lua: Syntax parsing configuration
- utils.lua: Shared dependencies and utilities
- LAZY_MIGRATION_GUIDE.md: Comprehensive migration documentation
- lazy-lock.json: Plugin version lockfile
## Modified Files
- init.lua: Removed colorscheme config (now in lua/plugins/ui.lua)
- lua/nateemerson/init.lua: Load Lazy instead of Packer
- after/plugin/lsp.lua: Updated LSP server names
- lua/nateemerson/lsp/handlers.lua: Modern diagnostic signs API
- lua/nateemerson/lsp/mason.lua: Removed redundant server setup
## Key Improvements
- Fixed deprecations for Neovim 0.11:
- tsserver → ts_ls (TypeScript language server rename)
- volar → vue_ls (Vue language server rename)
- Diagnostic signs now use modern vim.diagnostic.config() API
- Removed deprecated require('lspconfig') direct access
- Better lazy-loading strategy:
- Plugins load on-demand (commands, events, filetypes)
- Colorscheme has priority=1000 for early loading
- Insert-mode plugins only load when entering insert mode
- Eliminated conflicts between lsp-zero and manual lspconfig setup
- Organized plugins by category for easier maintenance
- Added comprehensive migration guide with troubleshooting
## Testing
All LSP servers install and function correctly:
- ts_ls (TypeScript/JavaScript)
- eslint, rust_analyzer, lua_ls, gopls
- tailwindcss, astro, vue_ls, biome

Cleanup after migration to Lazy.nvim by removing old Packer files that are no longer needed: - lua/nateemerson/plugins.lua: Old Packer plugin configuration - plugin/packer_compiled.lua: Packer compilation cache These files have been replaced by the new Lazy.nvim setup in lua/config/lazy.lua and lua/plugins/*.lua. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
