The former used by users, the latter used by lisp programs like Info and mmm-mode. The former still considers the visible region part of the whole buffer, just temporarily narrowed for convenience, the latter wants to make everything thinks the visible region _is_ the whole buffer.

I think we've found that to be impossible in practice.

This way the parser can avoid unnecessary re-parse, and always provide the optimal information. We just need to modify tree-sitter functions to check for this narrowing and don’t return anything beyond the boundaries. It’s probably going to be a lot of hair, but should be doable, I think?

I don't understand where you see difficulties with that.  We have
already several features that widen the buffer momentarily, for
whatever reasons.  As long as the narrowing is restored after doing
whatever it needed to widen for, there's no reason to "pretend"
anything.
