* lisp/erc/erc-networks.el
(erc-networks--copy-server-buffer-functions): New internal hook
through which modules can perform housekeeping when server buffers
belonging to the same network context are merged.
(erc-networks--copy-over-server-buffer-contents): Run new internal
hook `erc-networks--copy-server-buffer-functions'.
* lisp/erc/erc-track.el (erc-track-enable, erc-track-disable): Manage
membership in `erc-networks--copy-server-buffer-functions' hook.
(erc-track--replace-killed-buffer): New function to replace server
buffer being killed in `erc-modified-channels-alist'.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-base-association.el
(erc-scenarios-networks-merge-server-track): New test.
* test/lisp/erc/resources/networks/merge-server/track.eld: New test
data. (Bug#60560.)
* doc/misc/erc.texi: Add linkable note in Modules chapter about some
modules being required. Also tweak markup in auth-source section.
* etc/ERC-NEWS: Mention the special role of `networks'.
* lisp/erc/erc-backend.el (erc--server-post-connect-hook): Add
internal hook for core modules to perform post-network-process,
pre-protocol config validation even when they haven't been loaded.
(erc--register-connection): Run `erc--server-post-connect-hook'.
* lisp/erc/erc-networks.el (erc-networks--bouncer-targets,
erc-networks-on-MOTD-end): Fix comments and doc strings. Also change
former from constant to internal variable in case adjustment needed
between releases.
(erc-networks--warn-on-connect): New function to warn about the
`networks' module being absent from `erc-modules'. This could
probably run at any time up to and including when the logical IRC
connection is established, but doing so at the process/protocol
boundary seems ideal.
* lisp/erc/erc-sasl.el (erc--register-connection): Defer to base
method instead of calling `erc-login' explicitly.
* lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-generate-new-buffer-name): Don't reconcile
buffer names when networks module not in play.
(erc-format-target-and/or-network): Don't assume networks module
loaded.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-base-unstable.el:
(erc-scenarios-networks-no-module): New test.
* test/lisp/erc/resources/networks/no-module/basic.eld: New test data
file. (Bug#60331.)
* lisp/erc/erc-networks.el (erc-networks--determine): Return the
so-called "given" ID from a non-nil `:id' keyword arg passed to `erc'
or `erc-tls'.
(erc-networks--allow-unknown-network): Add internal variable to
allow IRC session to continue despite the network being unknown.
(erc-networks--set-name): Tell the user about falling back to a given
ID when the network can't be determined. When that's so, end the
session by destroying the connection unless
`erc-networks--allow-unknown-network' is enabled. (Bug#59976.)
(erc-networks--ensure-announced): Include the fallback announced
server name in the error message.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-networks-tests.el (erc-networks--set-name): Add
dummy server process and don't expect an error to be signaled.
* test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-misc.el
(erc-scenarios-networks-announced-missing): Don't expect an error to
be signaled.
* test/lisp/erc/resources/networks/announced-missing/foonet.eld:
Remove "mode" match pattern.

Add test cases for locking down fundamental client behavior, much of
it involving the relationship between buffers and connections. Also
add accompanying resources subdir containing canned dialog scripts and
common code needed by various tests. For test cases demoing the
problematic behavior originally described in the initial report, see
update #4 on the bug tracker thread for bug#48598. Most reside in a
file named test/lisp/erc/erc-scenarios-48598.el introduced by the
patch "Add user-oriented test scenarios for ERC".
