Research direction

Start with lua/cmp_buffer/source.lua at line 34, where the traceback identifies the deprecated vim.validate call. Compare it with the replacement signature shown in the warning, then run checkhealth to confirm the warning no longer appears.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have following stack when running checkhealth:

- ⚠️ WARNING vim.validate is deprecated. Feature will be removed in Nvim 1.0
  - ADVICE:
    - use vim.validate(name, value, validator, optional_or_msg) instead.
    - stack traceback:
