# Objective
Bevy seems to want to standardize on "American English" spellings. Not
sure if this is laid out anywhere in writing, but see also #15947.
While perusing the docs for `typos`, I noticed that it has a `locale`
config option and tried it out.
## Solution
Switch to `en-us` locale in the `typos` config and run `typos -w`
## Migration Guide
The following methods or fields have been renamed from `*dependants*` to
`*dependents*`.
- `ProcessorAssetInfo::dependants`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::add_dependant`
- `ProcessorAssetInfos::non_existent_dependants`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_load`
- `AssetInfo::dependants_waiting_on_recursive_dep_load`
- `AssetInfos::loader_dependants`
- `AssetInfos::remove_dependants_and_labels`
# Objective
Currently, is is very painful to wait for an asset to load from the
context of an `async` task. While bevy's `AssetServer` is asynchronous
at its core, the public API is mainly focused on being used from
synchronous contexts such as bevy systems. Currently, the best way of
waiting for an asset handle to finish loading is to have a system that
runs every frame, and either listens for `AssetEvents` or manually polls
the asset server. While this is an acceptable interface for bevy
systems, it is extremely awkward to do this in a way that integrates
well with the `async` task system. At my work we had to create our own
(inefficient) abstraction that encapsulated the boilerplate of checking
an asset's load status and waking up a task when it's done.
## Solution
Add the method `AssetServer::wait_for_asset`, which returns a future
that suspends until the asset associated with a given `Handle` either
finishes loading or fails to load.
## Testing
- CI
## Notes
This is an adoption of #14431, the above description is directly from
that original PR.

# Objective
The type `AssetLoadError` has `PartialEq` and `Eq` impls, which is
problematic due to the fact that the `AssetLoaderError` and
`AddAsyncError` variants lie in their impls: they will return `true` for
any `Box<dyn Error>` with the same `TypeId`, even if the actual value is
different. This can lead to subtle bugs if a user relies on the equality
comparison to ensure that two values are equal.
The same is true for `DependencyLoadState`,
`RecursiveDependencyLoadState`.
More generally, it is an anti-pattern for large error types involving
dynamic dispatch, such as `AssetLoadError`, to have equality
comparisons. Directly comparing two errors for equality is usually not
desired -- if some logic needs to branch based on the value of an error,
it is usually more correct to check for specific variants and inspect
their fields.
As far as I can tell, the only reason these errors have equality
comparisons is because the `LoadState` enum wraps `AssetLoadError` for
its `Failed` variant. This equality comparison is only used to check for
`== LoadState::Loaded`, which we can easily replace with an `is_loaded`
method.
## Solution
Remove the `{Partial}Eq` impls from `LoadState`, which also allows us to
remove it from the error types.
## Migration Guide
The types `bevy_asset::AssetLoadError` and `bevy_asset::LoadState` no
longer support equality comparisons. If you need to check for an asset's
load state, consider checking for a specific variant using
`LoadState::is_loaded` or the `matches!` macro. Similarly, consider
using the `matches!` macro to check for specific variants of the
`AssetLoadError` type if you need to inspect the value of an asset load
error in your code.
`DependencyLoadState` and `RecursiveDependencyLoadState` are not
released yet, so no migration needed,

# Objective
The `NestedLoader` API as it stands right now is somewhat lacking:
- It consists of several types `NestedLoader`, `UntypedNestedLoader`,
`DirectNestedLoader`, and `UntypedDirectNestedLoader`, where a typestate
pattern on `NestedLoader` would be make it more obvious what it does,
and allow centralising the documentation
- The term "untyped" in the asset loader code is overloaded. It can mean
either:
- we have literally no idea what the type of this asset will be when we
load it (I dub this "unknown type")
- we know what type of asset it will be, but we don't know it statically
- we only have a TypeId (I dub this "dynamic type" / "erased")
- There is no way to get an `UntypedHandle` (erased) given a `TypeId`
## Solution
Changes `NestedLoader` into a type-state pattern, adding two type
params:
- `T` determines the typing
- `StaticTyped`, the default, where you pass in `A` statically into `fn
load<A>() -> ..`
- `DynamicTyped`, where you give a `TypeId`, giving you a
`UntypedHandle`
- `UnknownTyped`, where you have literally no idea what type of asset
you're loading, giving you a `Handle<LoadedUntypedAsset>`
- `M` determines the "mode" (bikeshedding TBD, I couldn't come up with a
better name)
- `Deferred`, the default, won't load the asset when you call `load`,
but it does give you a `Handle` to it (this is nice since it can be a
sync fn)
- `Immediate` will load the asset as soon as you call it, and give you
access to it, but you must be in an async context to call it
Changes some naming of internals in `AssetServer` to fit the new
definitions of "dynamic type" and "unknown type". Note that I didn't do
a full pass over this code to keep the diff small. That can probably be
done in a new PR - I think the definiton I laid out of unknown type vs.
erased makes it pretty clear where each one applies.
<details>
<summary>Old issue</summary>
The only real problem I have with this PR is the requirement to pass in
`type_name` (from `core::any::type_name`) into Erased. Users might not
have that type name, only the ID, and it just seems sort of weird to
*have* to give an asset type name. However, the reason we need it is
because of this:
```rs
pub(crate) fn get_or_create_path_handle_erased(
&mut self,
path: AssetPath<'static>,
type_id: TypeId,
type_name: &str,
loading_mode: HandleLoadingMode,
meta_transform: Option<MetaTransform>,
) -> (UntypedHandle, bool) {
let result = self.get_or_create_path_handle_internal(
path,
Some(type_id),
loading_mode,
meta_transform,
);
// it is ok to unwrap because TypeId was specified above
unwrap_with_context(result, type_name).unwrap()
}
pub(crate) fn unwrap_with_context<T>(
result: Result<T, GetOrCreateHandleInternalError>,
type_name: &str,
) -> Option<T> {
match result {
Ok(value) => Some(value),
Err(GetOrCreateHandleInternalError::HandleMissingButTypeIdNotSpecified) => None,
Err(GetOrCreateHandleInternalError::MissingHandleProviderError(_)) => {
panic!("Cannot allocate an Asset Handle of type '{type_name}' because the asset type has not been initialized. \
Make sure you have called app.init_asset::<{type_name}>()")
}
}
}
```
This `unwrap_with_context` is literally the only reason we need the
`type_name`. Potentially, this can be turned into an `impl
Into<Option<&str>>`, and output a different error message if the type
name is missing. Since if we are loading an asset where we only know the
type ID, by definition we can't output that error message, since we
don't have the type name. I'm open to suggestions on this.
</details>
## Testing
Not sure how to test this, since I kept most of the actual NestedLoader
logic the same. The only new API is loading an `UntypedHandle` when in
the `DynamicTyped, Immediate` state.
## Migration Guide
Code which uses `bevy_asset`'s `LoadContext::loader` / `NestedLoader`
will see some naming changes:
- `untyped` is replaced by `with_unknown_type`
- `with_asset_type` is replaced by `with_static_type`
- `with_asset_type_id` is replaced by `with_dynamic_type`
- `direct` is replaced by `immediate` (the opposite of "immediate" is
"deferred")
# Objective
Fixes#15541
A bunch of lifetimes were added during the Assets V2 rework, but after
moving to async traits in #12550 they can be elided. That PR mentions
that this might be the case, but apparently it wasn't followed up on at
the time.
~~I ended up grepping for `<'a` and finding a similar case in
`bevy_reflect` which I also fixed.~~ (edit: that one was needed
apparently)
Note that elided lifetimes are unstable in `impl Trait`. If that gets
stabilized then we can elide even more.
## Solution
Remove the extra lifetimes.
## Testing
Everything still compiles. If I have messed something up there is a
small risk that some user code stops compiling, but all the examples
still work at least.
---
## Migration Guide
The traits `AssetLoader`, `AssetSaver` and `Process` traits from
`bevy_asset` now use elided lifetimes. If you implement these then
remove the named lifetime.
# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

The logic in PR #14808 broke `bevy_asset_loader`, because calling
`AssetServer::load_untyped()` initiates a load of an asset of type
`LoadedUntypedAsset`, which doesn't match any asset loaders and
therefore fails. I reverted the lines that were causing the problem. The
resulting code seems to work, but I'm not sure if this was the correct
fix.
# Objective
> Rust 1.81 released the #[expect(...)] attribute, which works like
#[allow(...)] but throws a warning if the lint isn't raised. This is
preferred to #[allow(...)] because it tells us when it can be removed.
- Adopts the parts of #15118 that are complete, and updates the branch
so it can be merged.
- There were a few conflicts, let me know if I misjudged any of 'em.
Alice's
[recommendation](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/15059#issuecomment-2349263900)

# Objective
Bevy's asset system is powerful and generally well-designed but very
opaque.
Beginners struggle to discover how to do simple tasks and grok the
fundamental data models, while more advanced users trip over the
assorted traits and their relation to each other.
Reverts #15054 ;)
## Solution
This PR adds module documentation to `bevy_assets`, tweaking the
associated documentation on the items as needed to provide further
details and bread crumbs.
If you have ideas for other important, hard-to-discover patterns or
functionality in this crate, please let me know.
That said, I've left out a section on asset preprocessing which *should*
eventually go here. That is substantially more uncertain, and requires
both more time to investigate and more expertise to review.

# Objective
- There's one occurence of `CowArc::Borrow` that wraps '&'static str`
## Solution
- Replaces it with `CowArc::Static`. I don't think this change is
important but I can't unsee it:)
## Testing
- `cargo check` compiles fine
# Objective
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14975
## Solution
- Replace usages of `bevy_utils::CowArc` with `atomicow::CowArc`
- Remove bevy_utils::CowArc
## Testing
- `bevy_asset` test suite continues to pass.
---
## Migration Guide
`bevy_utils::CowArc` has moved to a new crate called
[atomicow](https://crates.io/crates/atomicow).
# Objective
when handles for loading assets are dropped, we currently wait until
load is completed before dropping the handle. drop asset-load tasks
immediately
## Solution
- track tasks for loading assets and drop them immediately when all
handles are dropped.
~~- use `join_all` in `gltf_loader.rs` to allow it to yield and be
dropped.~~
doesn't cover all the load apis - for those it doesn't cover the task
will still be detached and will still complete before the result is
discarded.
separated out from #13170
# Objective
Fixes#14782
## Solution
Enable the lint and fix all upcoming hints (`--fix`). Also tried to
figure out the false-positive (see review comment). Maybe split this PR
up into multiple parts where only the last one enables the lint, so some
can already be merged resulting in less many files touched / less
potential for merge conflicts?
Currently, there are some cases where it might be easier to read the
code with the qualifier, so perhaps remove the import of it and adapt
its cases? In the current stage it's just a plain adoption of the
suggestions in order to have a base to discuss.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo run -p ci` are happy.
# Objective
currently if an asset loader panics, the asset is left in a perpetual
`Loading` state. this can occur with external crates (eg the image crate
panics on bad data). catch this panic and resolve the asset to `Failed`
## Solution
`AssertUnwindSafe(loader.load).catch_unwind()` and map the panic to an
`AssetLoadError`
separated out from #13170
# Objective
- Fixes#14517.
## Solution
- Replace two instances of `map()` with `inspect()`.
- `#[allow(dead_code)]` on `Bundle` derive macro tests.
## Testing
You need to install the beta toolchain, since these lints are not stable
yet.
```bash
cargo +beta clippy --workspace
cargo +beta test --workspace
```
# Objective
This PR fixes a crash that happens when an asset failure event is
processed after the asset has already been dropped.

```
## Solution
- Update `process_asset_fail` to match the graceful behavior in
`process_asset_load` (it does not assume the state still exists).
---
## Changelog
- Fixed a rare crash that happens when an asset failed event is
processed after the asset has been dropped.
# Objective
The `AssetReader` trait allows customizing the behavior of fetching
bytes for an `AssetPath`, and expects implementors to return `dyn
AsyncRead + AsyncSeek`. This gives implementors of `AssetLoader` great
flexibility to tightly integrate their asset loading behavior with the
asynchronous task system.
However, almost all implementors of `AssetLoader` don't use the async
functionality at all, and just call `AsyncReadExt::read_to_end(&mut
Vec<u8>)`. This is incredibly inefficient, as this method repeatedly
calls `poll_read` on the trait object, filling the vector 32 bytes at a
time. At my work we have assets that are hundreds of megabytes which
makes this a meaningful overhead.
## Solution
Turn the `Reader` type alias into an actual trait, with a provided
method `read_to_end`. This provided method should be more efficient than
the existing extension method, as the compiler will know the underlying
type of `Reader` when generating this function, which removes the
repeated dynamic dispatches and allows the compiler to make further
optimizations after inlining. Individual implementors are able to
override the provided implementation -- for simple asset readers that
just copy bytes from one buffer to another, this allows removing a large
amount of overhead from the provided implementation.
Now that `Reader` is an actual trait, I also improved the ergonomics for
implementing `AssetReader`. Currently, implementors are expected to box
their reader and return it as a trait object, which adds unnecessary
boilerplate to implementations. This PR changes that trait method to
return a pseudo trait alias, which allows implementors to return `impl
Reader` instead of `Box<dyn Reader>`. Now, the boilerplate for boxing
occurs in `ErasedAssetReader`.
## Testing
I made identical changes to my company's fork of bevy. Our app, which
makes heavy use of `read_to_end` for asset loading, still worked
properly after this. I am not aware if we have a more systematic way of
testing asset loading for correctness.
---
## Migration Guide
The trait method `bevy_asset::io::AssetReader::read` (and `read_meta`)
now return an opaque type instead of a boxed trait object. Implementors
of these methods should change the type signatures appropriately
```rust
impl AssetReader for MyReader {
// Before
async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<Box<Reader<'a>>, AssetReaderError> {
let reader = // construct a reader
Box::new(reader) as Box<Reader<'a>>
}
// After
async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<impl Reader + 'a, AssetReaderError> {
// create a reader
}
}
```
`bevy::asset::io::Reader` is now a trait, rather than a type alias for a
trait object. Implementors of `AssetLoader::load` will need to adjust
the method signature accordingly
```rust
impl AssetLoader for MyLoader {
async fn load<'a>(
&'a self,
// Before:
reader: &'a mut bevy::asset::io::Reader,
// After:
reader: &'a mut dyn bevy::asset::io::Reader,
_: &'a Self::Settings,
load_context: &'a mut LoadContext<'_>,
) -> Result<Self::Asset, Self::Error> {
}
```
Additionally, implementors of `AssetReader` that return a type
implementing `futures_io::AsyncRead` and `AsyncSeek` might need to
explicitly implement `bevy::asset::io::Reader` for that type.
```rust
impl bevy::asset::io::Reader for MyAsyncReadAndSeek {}
```
# Objective
The method `AssetServer::add_async` (added in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/13700) requires a future that
returns an `AssetLoadError` error, which was a bit of an oversight on my
part, as that type of error only really makes sense in the context of
bevy's own asset loader -- returning it from user-defined futures isn't
very useful.
## Solution
Allow passing custom error types to `add_async`, which get cast into a
trait object matching the form of `AssetLoader::load`. If merged before
the next release this will not be a breaking change
# Objective
Currently, bevy supports custom asset loading via `AssetServer:;add`,
which allows you to add arbitrary assets to the asset system and returns
a handle to it. However this only works for assets that have already
been fully loaded. If your loading logic involves any async, you need to
wait until the asset is done loading before adding it to the server.
This is problematic, as the `Handle` does not get allocated until the
very end, which makes it very difficult to use and defeats the value of
having handles for asynchronously-loaded assets.
## Solution
Add the method `AssetServer::add_async`. This has the same behavior as
`AssetServer::add`, only it accepts a future instead of a fully loaded
asset.
## Testing
I added an identical method to my company's fork of bevy, which works in
our app. I'm not quite sure how to go about adding an actual unit test
for asset loading behvior, but I will note that `AssetServer::add` also
does not appear to have any tests.
---
## Changelog
+ Added `AssetServer::add_async`, which allows adding assets with custom
asynchronous loading behavior to the `AssetServer`
# Objective
- Fixes#10820.
## Solution
- Check that the asset ID to be inserted is still being managed.
- Since this route is only used by `AssetServer`-tracked handles, if the
`infos` map no longer contains the asset ID, all handles must have been
dropped. In this case, since nobody can be watching for the result,
we're safe to bail out. This avoids the panic when inserting the asset,
because when the handles are dropped, its slot in `Assets<A>` is
poisoned.
- Someone may be waiting for a labelled asset rather than the main
asset, these are handled with separate calls to `process_asset_load`, so
shouldn't cause any issues.
- Removed the workaround keeping asset info alive after the handle has
died, since we should no longer be trying to operate on any assets once
their handles have been dropped.
## Testing
- I added a `break` in `handle_internal_asset_events`
(`crates/bevy_asset/src/server/mod.rs` on line 1152). I don't believe
this should affect correctness, only efficiency, since it is effectively
only allowing one asset event to be handled per frame. This causes
examples like `animated_fox` to produce the issue fairly frequently.
- I wrote a small program which called `AssetServer::reload` and could
trigger it too.
---
## Changelog
- Fixed an issue which could cause a panic when loading an asset which
was no longer referenced.
---
## Remaining Work
~This needs more testing. I don't yet have a complete project that
reliably crashes without changes to bevy.~ We have at least one vote of
confidence so far from @Testare who had a project broken by this bug.
@cart, (sorry for the ping), I believe you added the code which delays
`remove_dropped`. Was there any other reason `track_assets` needed to
keep the dropped assets alive?
# Objective
- Fixes#13192 .
- It is not possible to specify the path of the file and the subasset in
it in one string slice, if there is a hash in the file name, because
hash is separator between filename and subasset, so they must be
separated explicitly
## Solution
- Improved documentation for AssetServer::load.
---------
Co-authored-by: BD103 <59022059+BD103@users.noreply.github.com>
# Objective
Supercedes #12881 . Added a simple implementation that allows the user
to react to multiple asset loads both synchronously and asynchronously.
## Solution
Added `load_acquire`, that holds an item and drops it when loading is
finished or failed.
When used synchronously
Hold an `Arc<()>`, check for `Arc::strong_count() == 1` when all loading
completed.
When used asynchronously
Hold a `SemaphoreGuard`, await on `acquire_all` for completion.
This implementation has more freedom than the original in my opinion.

# Objective
As described in #12467, Bevy does not have any spans for any of the
tasks scheduled onto the IO and async compute task pools.
## Solution
Instrument all asset loads and asset processing. Since this change is
restricted to asset tasks, it does not completely solve #12467, but it
does mean we can record the asset path in the trace.
---
## Changelog
Tracing will now include spans for asset loading and asset processing.
# Objective
- Fixes#12976
## Solution
This one is a doozy.
- Run `cargo +beta clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features` and
fix all issues
- This includes:
- Moving inner attributes to be outer attributes, when the item in
question has both inner and outer attributes
- Use `ptr::from_ref` in more scenarios
- Extend the valid idents list used by `clippy:doc_markdown` with more
names
- Use `Clone::clone_from` when possible
- Remove redundant `ron` import
- Add backticks to **so many** identifiers and items
- I'm sorry whoever has to review this
---
## Changelog
- Added links to more identifiers in documentation.
# Objective
get_asset_paths tries to check whether a folder is empty, and if so
delete it. However rather than checking whether any subfolder contains
files it checks whether _all_ subfolders have files.
Also cleanup various BoxedFutures in async recursive functions like
these, rust 1.77 now allows recursive async functions (albeit still by
boxing), hurray! This is a followup to #12550 (sorta). More BoxedFuture
stuff can be removed now that rust 1.77 is out, which can use async
recursive functions! This is mainly just cleaner code wise - the
recursion still boxes the future so not much to win there.
PR is mainly whitespace changes so do disable whitespace diffs for
easier review.
# Objective
Fix Pr CI failing over dead code in tests and main branch CI failing
over a missing semicolon. Fixes#12620.
## Solution
Add dead_code annotations and a semicolon.
# Objective
Simplify implementing some asset traits without Box::pin(async move{})
shenanigans.
Fixes (in part) https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11308
## Solution
Use async-fn in traits when possible in all traits. Traits with return
position impl trait are not object safe however, and as AssetReader and
AssetWriter are both used with dynamic dispatch, you need a Boxed
version of these futures anyway.
In the future, Rust is [adding
](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/12/21/async-fn-rpit-in-traits.html)proc
macros to generate these traits automatically, and at some point in the
future dyn traits should 'just work'. Until then.... this seemed liked
the right approach given more ErasedXXX already exist, but, no clue if
there's plans here! Especially since these are public now, it's a bit of
an unfortunate API, and means this is a breaking change.
In theory this saves some performance when these traits are used with
static dispatch, but, seems like most code paths go through dynamic
dispatch, which boxes anyway.
I also suspect a bunch of the lifetime annotations on these function
could be simplified now as the BoxedFuture was often the only thing
returned which needed a lifetime annotation, but I'm not touching that
for now as traits + lifetimes can be so tricky.
This is a revival of
[pull/11362](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11362) after a
spectacular merge f*ckup, with updates to the latest Bevy. Just to recap
some discussion:
- Overall this seems like a win for code quality, especially when
implementing these traits, but a loss for having to deal with ErasedXXX
variants.
- `ConditionalSend` was the preferred name for the trait that might be
Send, to deal with wasm platforms.
- When reviewing be sure to disable whitespace difference, as that's 95%
of the PR.
## Changelog
- AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader, AssetSaver and Process now use
async-fn in traits rather than boxed futures.
## Migration Guide
- Custom implementations of AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader,
AssetSaver and Process should switch to async fn rather than returning a
bevy_utils::BoxedFuture.
- Simultaniously, to use dynamic dispatch on these traits you should
instead use dyn ErasedXXX.
# Objective
`bevy_utils::Entry` is only useful when using
`BuildHasherDefault<AHasher>`. It would be great if we didn't have to
write out `bevy_utils::hashbrown::hash_map::Entry` whenever we want to
use a different `BuildHasher`, such as when working with
`bevy_utils::TypeIdMap`.
## Solution
Give `bevy_utils::Entry` a new optional type parameter for defining a
custom `BuildHasher`, such as `NoOpHash`. This parameter defaults to
`BuildHasherDefault<AHasher>`— the `BuildHasher` used by
`bevy_utils::HashMap`.
---
## Changelog
- Added an optional third type parameter to `bevy_utils::Entry` to
specify a custom `BuildHasher`
# Objective
Fixes#11298. Make the use of bevy_log vs bevy_utils::tracing more
consistent.
## Solution
Replace all uses of bevy_log's logging macros with the reexport from
bevy_utils. Remove bevy_log as a dependency where it's no longer needed
anymore.
Ideally we should just be using tracing directly, but given that all of
these crates are already using bevy_utils, this likely isn't that great
of a loss right now.
# Objective
Memory usage optimisation
## Solution
`HashMap` and `HashSet`'s keys are immutable. So using mutable types
like `String`, `Vec<T>`, or `PathBuf` as a key is a waste of memory:
they have an extra `usize` for their capacity and may have spare
capacity.
This PR replaces these types by their immutable equivalents `Box<str>`,
`Box<[T]>`, and `Box<Path>`.
For more context, I recommend watching the [Use Arc Instead of
Vec](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cKi7PTJSs) video.

# Objective
- Sometimes, it is useful to get a `Handle<T>` from an `AssetId<T>`. For
example, when iterating `Assets` to find a specific asset. So much so
that it's possible to do so with `AssetServer::get_id_handle`
- However, `AssetServer::get_id_handle` doesn't work with assets
directly added to `Assets` using `Assets::add`.
- Fixes#12087
## Solution
- Add `Assets::get_strong_handle` to convert an `AssetId` into an
`Handle`
- Document `AssetServer::get_id_handle` to explain its limitation and
point to `get_strong_handle`.
- Add a test for `get_strong_handle`
- Add a `duplicate_handles` field to `Assets` to avoid dropping assets
with a live handle generated by `get_strong_handle` (more reference
counting yay…)
- Fix typos in `Assets` docs
---
## Changelog
- Add `Assets::get_strong_handle` to convert an `AssetId` into an
`Handle`
# Objective
When registering and preregistering asset loaders, there would be a
`warn!` if multiple asset loaders use a given extension, and an `info!`
if multiple asset loaders load the same asset type. Since both of these
situations are individually fine, it was decided that these messages
should be removed.
## Solution
Replace both of these messages with a new `warn!` that notes that if
multiple asset loaders share the same asset type _and_ share extensions,
that the loader must be specified in the `.meta` file for those assets
in order to solve the ambiguity. This is a more useful message, since it
notes when a user must take special action / consideration.
# Objective
- Fixes#11638
- See
[here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11638#issuecomment-1920508465)
for details on the cause of this issue.
## Solution
- Modified `AssetLoaders` to capture possibility of multiple
`AssetLoader` registrations operating on the same `Asset` type, but
different extensions.
- Added an algorithm which will attempt to resolve via `AssetLoader`
name, then `Asset` type, then by extension. If at any point multiple
loaders fit a particular criteria, the next criteria is used as a tie
breaker.
Use `TypeIdMap<T>` instead of `HashMap<TypeId, T>`
- ~~`TypeIdMap` was in `bevy_ecs`. I've kept it there because of
#11478~~
- ~~I haven't swapped `bevy_reflect` over because it doesn't depend on
`bevy_ecs`, but I'd also be happy with moving `TypeIdMap` to
`bevy_utils` and then adding a dependency to that~~
- ~~this is a slight change in the public API of
`DrawFunctionsInternal`, does this need to go in the changelog?~~
## Changelog
- moved `TypeIdMap` to `bevy_utils`
- changed `DrawFunctionsInternal::indices` to `TypeIdMap`
## Migration Guide
- `TypeIdMap` now lives in `bevy_utils`
- `DrawFunctionsInternal::indices` now uses a `TypeIdMap`.

# Objective
- Addresses **Support processing and loading files without extensions**
from #9714
- Addresses **More runtime loading configuration** from #9714
- Fixes#367
- Fixes#10703
## Solution
`AssetServer::load::<A>` and `AssetServer::load_with_settings::<A>` can
now use the `Asset` type parameter `A` to select a registered
`AssetLoader` without inspecting the provided `AssetPath`. This change
cascades onto `LoadContext::load` and `LoadContext::load_with_settings`.
This allows the loading of assets which have incorrect or ambiguous file
extensions.
```rust
// Allow the type to be inferred by context
let handle = asset_server.load("data/asset_no_extension");
// Hint the type through the handle
let handle: Handle<CustomAsset> = asset_server.load("data/asset_no_extension");
// Explicit through turbofish
let handle = asset_server.load::<CustomAsset>("data/asset_no_extension");
```
Since a single `AssetPath` no longer maps 1:1 with an `Asset`, I've also
modified how assets are loaded to permit multiple asset types to be
loaded from a single path. This allows for two different `AssetLoaders`
(which return different types of assets) to both load a single path (if
requested).
```rust
// Uses GltfLoader
let model = asset_server.load::<Gltf>("cube.gltf");
// Hypothetical Blob loader for data transmission (for example)
let blob = asset_server.load::<Blob>("cube.gltf");
```
As these changes are reflected in the `LoadContext` as well as the
`AssetServer`, custom `AssetLoaders` can also take advantage of this
behaviour to create more complex assets.
---
## Change Log
- Updated `custom_asset` example to demonstrate extension-less assets.
- Added `AssetServer::get_handles_untyped` and Added
`AssetServer::get_path_ids`
## Notes
As a part of that refactor, I chose to store `AssetLoader`s (within
`AssetLoaders`) using a `HashMap<TypeId, ...>` instead of a `Vec<...>`.
My reasoning for this was I needed to add a relationship between `Asset`
`TypeId`s and the `AssetLoader`, so instead of having a `Vec` and a
`HashMap`, I combined the two, removing the `usize` index from the
adjacent maps.

# Objective
- Closes#11490.
- Allow retrieving the current asset watch behavior from the
`AssetServer`.
## Solution
- Add the corresponding getter. (also fixes some trailing whitespace).
A corresponding helper could also be added on the `AssetPlugin` struct
(returning `self.watch_for_changes_override.unwrap_or(cfg!(feature =
"watch"))`), but it seems it isn't a current practice to have actual
methods on the plugin structs appart from the `Plugin` impl.
---
## Changelog
### Added
Added `watching_for_changes` getter on `AssetServer`.
