# Objective
- Fixes#14974
## Solution
- Replace all* instances of `NonZero*` with `NonZero<*>`
## Testing
- CI passed locally.
---
## Notes
Within the `bevy_reflect` implementations for `std` types,
`impl_reflect_value!()` will continue to use the type aliases instead,
as it inappropriately parses the concrete type parameter as a generic
argument. If the `ZeroablePrimitive` trait was stable, or the macro
could be modified to accept a finite list of types, then we could fully
migrate.
# Objective
- Follow-up on some changes in #11498
- Unblock using `Identifier` to replace `ComponentId` internals.
## Solution
- Implement the same `Reflect` impls from `Entity` onto `Identifier` as
they share same/similar purposes,
## Testing
- No compile errors. Currently `Identifier` has no serialization impls,
so there's no need to test a serialization/deserialization roundtrip to
ensure correctness.

## Changelog
### Added
- Reflection implementations on `Identifier`.
# 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
The purpose of this PR is to begin putting together a unified identifier
structure that can be used by entities and later components (as
entities) as well as relationship pairs for relations, to enable all of
these to be able to use the same storages. For the moment, to keep
things small and focused, only `Entity` is being changed to make use of
the new `Identifier` type, keeping `Entity`'s API and
serialization/deserialization the same. Further changes are for
follow-up PRs.
## Solution
`Identifier` is a wrapper around `u64` split into two `u32` segments
with the idea of being generalised to not impose restrictions on
variants. That is for `Entity` to do. Instead, it is a general API for
taking bits to then merge and map into a `u64` integer. It exposes
low/high methods to return the two value portions as `u32` integers,
with then the MSB masked for usage as a type flag, enabling entity kind
discrimination and future activation/deactivation semantics.
The layout in this PR for `Identifier` is described as below, going from
MSB -> LSB.
```
|F| High value | Low value |
|_|_______________________________|________________________________|
|1| 31 | 32 |
F = Bit Flags
```
The high component in this implementation has only 31 bits, but that
still leaves 2^31 or 2,147,483,648 values that can be stored still, more
than enough for any generation/relation kinds/etc usage. The low part is
a full 32-bit index. The flags allow for 1 bit to be used for
entity/pair discrimination, as these have different usages for the
low/high portions of the `Identifier`. More bits can be reserved for
more variants or activation/deactivation purposes, but this currently
has no use in bevy.
More bits could be reserved for future features at the cost of bits for
the high component, so how much to reserve is up for discussion. Also,
naming of the struct and methods are also subject to further
bikeshedding and feedback.
Also, because IDs can have different variants, I wonder if
`Entity::from_bits` needs to return a `Result` instead of potentially
panicking on receiving an invalid ID.
PR is provided as an early WIP to obtain feedback and notes on whether
this approach is viable.

## Changelog
### Added
New `Identifier` struct for unifying IDs.
### Changed
`Entity` changed to use new `Identifier`/`IdentifierMask` as the
underlying ID logic.
