Make the ObservedBy component useful to public consumers (#19591)
# Objective

As raised by @Jondolf, this type is `pub`, and useful for various
consumers to ensure cleanup or debugging.

However, it doesn't offer any way to actually view the data.

## Solution

- Add a read-only view of the data.
- Don't add any (easy) way to mutate the data, as this presents a huge
footgun.
- Implement Reflect and register the component so you can see it in
inspectors nicely.

Rename Trigger to On (#19596)
# Objective

Currently, the observer API looks like this:

```rust
app.add_observer(|trigger: Trigger<Explode>| {
    info!("Entity {} exploded!", trigger.target());
});
```

Future plans for observers also include "multi-event observers" with a
trigger that looks like this (see [Cart's
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14649#issuecomment-2960402508)):

```rust
trigger: Trigger<(
    OnAdd<Pressed>,
    OnRemove<Pressed>,
    OnAdd<InteractionDisabled>,
    OnRemove<InteractionDisabled>,
    OnInsert<Hovered>,
)>,
```

In scenarios like this, there is a lot of repetition of `On`. These are
expected to be very high-traffic APIs especially in UI contexts, so
ergonomics and readability are critical.

By renaming `Trigger` to `On`, we can make these APIs read more cleanly
and get rid of the repetition:

```rust
app.add_observer(|trigger: On<Explode>| {
    info!("Entity {} exploded!", trigger.target());
});
```

```rust
trigger: On<(
    Add<Pressed>,
    Remove<Pressed>,
    Add<InteractionDisabled>,
    Remove<InteractionDisabled>,
    Insert<Hovered>,
)>,
```

Names like `On<Add<Pressed>>` emphasize the actual event listener nature
more than `Trigger<OnAdd<Pressed>>`, and look cleaner. This *also* frees
up the `Trigger` name if we want to use it for the observer event type,
splitting them out from buffered events (bikeshedding this is out of
scope for this PR though).

For prior art:
[`bevy_eventlistener`](https://github.com/aevyrie/bevy_eventlistener)
used
[`On`](https://docs.rs/bevy_eventlistener/latest/bevy_eventlistener/event_listener/struct.On.html)
for its event listener type. Though in our case, the observer is the
event listener, and `On` is just a type containing information about the
triggered event.

## Solution

Steal from `bevy_event_listener` by @aevyrie and use `On`.

- Rename `Trigger` to `On`
- Rename `OnAdd` to `Add`
- Rename `OnInsert` to `Insert`
- Rename `OnReplace` to `Replace`
- Rename `OnRemove` to `Remove`
- Rename `OnDespawn` to `Despawn`

## Discussion

### Naming Conflicts??

Using a name like `Add` might initially feel like a very bad idea, since
it risks conflict with `core::ops::Add`. However, I don't expect this to
be a big problem in practice.

- You rarely need to actually implement the `Add` trait, especially in
modules that would use the Bevy ECS.
- In the rare cases where you *do* get a conflict, it is very easy to
fix by just disambiguating, for example using `ops::Add`.
- The `Add` event is a struct while the `Add` trait is a trait (duh), so
the compiler error should be very obvious.

For the record, renaming `OnAdd` to `Add`, I got exactly *zero* errors
or conflicts within Bevy itself. But this is of course not entirely
representative of actual projects *using* Bevy.

You might then wonder, why not use `Added`? This would conflict with the
`Added` query filter, so it wouldn't work. Additionally, the current
naming convention for observer events does not use past tense.

### Documentation

This does make documentation slightly more awkward when referring to
`On` or its methods. Previous docs often referred to `Trigger::target`
or "sends a `Trigger`" (which is... a bit strange anyway), which would
now be `On::target` and "sends an observer `Event`".

You can see the diff in this PR to see some of the effects. I think it
should be fine though, we may just need to reword more documentation to
read better.

Thoroughly document the current state of observers (#19590)
# Objective

The documentation for observers is not very good. This poses a problem
to users, but *also* causes serious problems for engine devs, as they
attempt to improve assorted issues surrounding observers.

This PR:

- Fixes #14084.
- Fixes #14726.
- Fixes #16538.
- Closes #18914, by attempting to solve the same issue.

To keep this PR at all reviewable, I've opted to simply note the various
limitations (some may call them bugs!) in place, rather than attempting
to fix them. There is a huge amount of cleanup work to be done here: see
https://github.com/orgs/bevyengine/projects/17.

## Solution

- Write good module docs for observers, offering bread crumbs to the
most common methods and techniques and comparing-and-contrasting as
needed.
- Fix any actively misleading documentation.
- Try to explain how the various bits of the (public?!) internals are
related.

Component lifecycle reorganization and documentation (#19543)
# Objective

I set out with one simple goal: clearly document the differences between
each of the component lifecycle events via module docs.

Unfortunately, no such module existed: the various lifecycle code was
scattered to the wind.
Without a unified module, it's very hard to discover the related types,
and there's nowhere good to put my shiny new documentation.

## Solution

1. Unify the assorted types into a single
`bevy_ecs::component_lifecycle` module.
2. Write docs.
3. Write a migration guide.

## Testing

Thanks CI!

## Follow-up

1. The lifecycle event names are pretty confusing, especially
`OnReplace`. We should consider renaming those. No bikeshedding in my PR
though!
2. Observers need real module docs too :(
3. Any additional functional changes should be done elsewhere; this is a
simple docs and re-org PR.

Remove entity placeholder from observers (#19440)
# Objective

`Entity::PLACEHOLDER` acts as a magic number that will *probably* never
really exist, but it certainly could. And, `Entity` has a niche, so the
only reason to use `PLACEHOLDER` is as an alternative to `MaybeUninit`
that trades safety risks for logic risks.

As a result, bevy has generally advised against using `PLACEHOLDER`, but
we still use if for a lot internally. This pr starts removing internal
uses of it, starting from observers.

## Solution

Change all trigger target related types from `Entity` to
`Option<Entity>`

Small migration guide to come.

## Testing

CI

## Future Work

This turned a lot of code from 

```rust
trigger.target()
```

to 

```rust
trigger.target().unwrap()
```

The extra panic is no worse than before; it's just earlier than
panicking after passing the placeholder to something else.

But this is kinda annoying. 

I would like to add a `TriggerMode` or something to `Event` that would
restrict what kinds of targets can be used for that event. Many events
like `Removed` etc, are always triggered with a target. We can make
those have a way to assume Some, etc. But I wanted to save that for a
future pr.

Hot patching systems with subsecond (#19309)
# Objective

- Enable hot patching systems with subsecond
- Fixes #19296 

## Solution

- First commit is the naive thin layer
- Second commit only check the jump table when the code is hot patched
instead of on every system execution
- Depends on https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/pull/4153 for a nicer
API, but could be done without
- Everything in second commit is feature gated, it has no impact when
the feature is not enabled

## Testing

- Check dependencies without the feature enabled: nothing dioxus in tree
- Run the new example: text and color can be changed

Remove ArchetypeComponentId and archetype_component_access (#19143)
# Objective

Remove `ArchetypeComponentId` and `archetype_component_access`.
Following #16885, they are no longer used by the engine, so we can stop
spending time calculating them or space storing them.

## Solution

Remove `ArchetypeComponentId` and everything that touches it.  

The `System::update_archetype_component_access` method no longer needs
to update `archetype_component_access`. We do still need to update query
caches, but we no longer need to do so *before* running the system. We'd
have to touch every caller anyway if we gave the method a better name,
so just remove `System::update_archetype_component_access` and
`SystemParam::new_archetype` entirely, and update the query cache in
`Query::get_param`.

The `Single` and `Populated` params also need their query caches updated
in `SystemParam::validate_param`, so change `validate_param` to take
`&mut Self::State` instead of `&Self::State`.

Per world error handler (#18810)
# Objective

[see original
comment](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18801#issuecomment-2796981745)
> Alternately, could we store it on the World instead of a global? I
think we have a World nearby whenever we call default_error_handler().
That would avoid the need for atomics or locks, since we could do
ordinary reads and writes to the World.

Global error handlers don't actually need to be global – per world is
enough. This allows using different handlers for different worlds and
also removes the restrictions on changing the handler only once.

## Solution

Each `World` can now store its own error handler in a resource.

For convenience, you can also set the default error handler for an
`App`, which applies it to the worlds of all `SubApp`s. The old behavior
of only being able to set the error handler once is kept for apps.

We also don't need the `configurable_error_handler` feature anymore now.

## Testing

New/adjusted tests for failing schedule systems & observers.

---

## Showcase

```rust
App::new()
    .set_error_handler(info)
    …

Make entity::index non max (#18704)
# Objective

There are two problems this aims to solve. 

First, `Entity::index` is currently a `u32`. That means there are
`u32::MAX + 1` possible entities. Not only is that awkward, but it also
make `Entity` allocation more difficult. I discovered this while working
on remote entity reservation, but even on main, `Entities` doesn't
handle the `u32::MAX + 1` entity very well. It can not be batch reserved
because that iterator uses exclusive ranges, which has a maximum upper
bound of `u32::MAX - 1`. In other words, having `u32::MAX` as a valid
index can be thought of as a bug right now. We either need to make that
invalid (this PR), which makes Entity allocation cleaner and makes
remote reservation easier (because the length only needs to be u32
instead of u64, which, in atomics is a big deal), or we need to take
another pass at `Entities` to make it handle the `u32::MAX` index
properly.

Second, `TableRow`, `ArchetypeRow` and `EntityIndex` (a type alias for
u32) all have `u32` as the underlying type. That means using these as
the index type in a `SparseSet` uses 64 bits for the sparse list because
it stores `Option<IndexType>`. By using `NonMaxU32` here, we cut the
memory of that list in half. To my knowledge, `EntityIndex` is the only
thing that would really benefit from this niche. `TableRow` and
`ArchetypeRow` I think are not stored in an `Option` in bulk. But if
they ever are, this would help. Additionally this ensures
`TableRow::INVALID` and `ArchetypeRow::INVALID` never conflict with an
actual row, which in a nice bonus.

As a related note, if we do components as entities where `ComponentId`
becomes `Entity`, the the `SparseSet<ComponentId>` will see a similar
memory improvement too.

## Solution

Create a new type `EntityRow` that wraps `NonMaxU32`, similar to
`TableRow` and `ArchetypeRow`.
Change `Entity::index` to this type.

## Downsides

`NonMax` is implemented as a `NonZero` with a binary inversion. That
means accessing and storing the value takes one more instruction. I
don't think that's a big deal, but it's worth mentioning.

As a consequence, `to_bits` uses `transmute` to skip the inversion which
keeps it a nop. But that also means that ordering has now flipped. In
other words, higher indices are considered less than lower indices. I
don't think that's a problem, but it's also worth mentioning.

## Alternatives

We could keep the index as a u32 type and just document that `u32::MAX`
is invalid, modifying `Entities` to ensure it never gets handed out.
(But that's not enforced by the type system.) We could still take
advantage of the niche here in `ComponentSparseSet`. We'd just need some
unsafe manual conversions, which is probably fine, but opens up the
possibility for correctness problems later.

We could change `Entities` to fully support the `u32::MAX` index. (But
that makes `Entities` more complex and potentially slightly slower.)

## Testing

- CI
- A few tests were changed because they depend on different ordering and
`to_bits` values.

## Future Work

- It might be worth removing the niche on `Entity::generation` since
there is now a different niche.
- We could move `Entity::generation` into it's own type too for clarity.
- We should change `ComponentSparseSet` to take advantage of the new
niche. (This PR doesn't change that yet.)
- Consider removing or updating `Identifier`. This is only used for
`Entity`, so it might be worth combining since `Entity` is now more
unique.

Merge ObserverState and Observer into single component (#18728)
# Objective

- bevy removed `Observe` type parameters in #15151 ,it enables merging
`Observer` and `ObserverState ` into a single component. with this
consolidation ,we can improve efficiency while reducing boilerplate.

## Solution

- remove `ObserverState `and merge it  into `Observer`

## Testing

40%~60% performance win due to removal of redundant look up.

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/eb1d46cb-cca3-4c2b-948c-bf4ecb617de9)

This also improves ergonomics when using dynamic observer
```rust
// previously 
world.spawn(ObserverState {
            // SAFETY: we registered `event_a` above and it matches the type of EventA
            descriptor: unsafe { ObserverDescriptor::default().with_events(vec![event_a]) },
            runner: |mut world, _trigger, _ptr, _propagate| {
                world.resource_mut::<Order>().observed("event_a");
            },
            ..Default::default()
        });

// now
let observe = unsafe {
    Observer::with_dynamic_runner(|mut world, _trigger, _ptr, _propagate| {
        world.resource_mut::<Order>().observed("event_a");
    })
    .with_event(event_a)
};
world.spawn(observe);

Prevent exclusive systems from being used as observers (#19033)
# Objective

Prevent using exclusive systems as observers. Allowing them is unsound,
because observers are only expected to have `DeferredWorld` access, and
the observer infrastructure will keep pointers that are invalidated by
the creation of `&mut World`.

See
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/actions/runs/14778342801/job/41491517847?pr=19011
for a MIRI failure in a recent PR caused by an exclusive system being
used as an observer in a test.

## Solution

Have `Observer::new` panic if `System::is_exclusive()` is true. Document
that method, and methods that call it, as panicking.

(It should be possible to express this in the type system so that the
calls won't even compile, but I did not want to attempt that.)

## Testing

Added a unit test that calls `World::add_observer` with an exclusive
system.

Rename bevy_platform_support to bevy_platform (#18813)
# Objective

The goal of `bevy_platform_support` is to provide a set of platform
agnostic APIs, alongside platform-specific functionality. This is a high
traffic crate (providing things like HashMap and Instant). Especially in
light of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/18799, it
deserves a friendlier / shorter name.

Given that it hasn't had a full release yet, getting this change in
before Bevy 0.16 makes sense.

## Solution

- Rename `bevy_platform_support` to `bevy_platform`.

Change with_related to work with a Bundle and added with_relationships method (#18699)
# Objective

Fixes #18678

## Solution

Moved the current `with_related` method to `with_relationships` and
added a new `with_related` that uses a bundle.

I'm not entirely sold on the name just yet, if anyone has any ideas let
me know.

## Testing

I wasn't able to test these changes because it crashed my computer every
time I tried (fun). But there don't seem to be any tests that use the
old `with_related` method so it should be fine, hopefully

## Showcase

```rust
commands.spawn_empty()
    .with_related::<Relationship>(Name::new("Related thingy"))
    .with_relationships(|rel| {
        rel.spawn(Name::new("Second related thingy"));
    });

reexport entity set collections in entity module (#18413)
# Objective

Unlike for their helper typers, the import paths for
`unique_array::UniqueEntityArray`, `unique_slice::UniqueEntitySlice`,
`unique_vec::UniqueEntityVec`, `hash_set::EntityHashSet`,
`hash_map::EntityHashMap`, `index_set::EntityIndexSet`,
`index_map::EntityIndexMap` are quite redundant.

When looking at the structure of `hashbrown`, we can also see that while
both `HashSet` and `HashMap` have their own modules, the main types
themselves are re-exported to the crate level.

## Solution

Re-export the types in their shared `entity` parent module, and simplify
the imports where they're used.

Fix run_system for adapter systems wrapping exclusive systems (#18406)
# Objective

Fix panic in `run_system` when running an exclusive system wrapped in a
`PipeSystem` or `AdapterSystem`.

#18076 introduced a `System::run_without_applying_deferred` method. It
normally calls `System::run_unsafe`, but
`ExclusiveFunctionSystem::run_unsafe` panics, so it was overridden for
that type. Unfortunately, `PipeSystem::run_without_applying_deferred`
still calls `PipeSystem::run_unsafe`, which can then call
`ExclusiveFunctionSystem::run_unsafe` and panic.

## Solution

Make `ExclusiveFunctionSystem::run_unsafe` work instead of panicking.
Clarify the safety requirements that make this sound.

The alternative is to override `run_without_applying_deferred` in
`PipeSystem`, `CombinatorSystem`, `AdapterSystem`,
`InfallibleSystemWrapper`, and `InfallibleObserverWrapper`. That seems
like a lot of extra code just to preserve a confusing special case!

Remove some implementations of `System::run` that are no longer
necessary with this change. This slightly changes the behavior of
`PipeSystem` and `CombinatorSystem`: Currently `run` will call
`apply_deferred` on the first system before running the second, but
after this change it will only call it after *both* systems have run.
The new behavior is consistent with `run_unsafe` and
`run_without_applying_deferred`, and restores the behavior prior to
#11823.

The panic was originally necessary because [`run_unsafe` took
`&World`](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/6083/files#diff-708dfc60ec5eef432b20a6f471357a7ea9bfb254dc2f918d5ed4a66deb0e85baR90).
Now that it takes `UnsafeWorldCell`, it is possible to make it work. See
also Cart's concerns at
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4166#discussion_r979140356,
although those also predate `UnsafeWorldCell`.

Define system param validation on a per-system parameter basis (#18504)
# Objective

When introduced, `Single` was intended to simply be silently skipped,
allowing for graceful and efficient handling of systems during invalid
game states (such as when the player is dead).

However, this also caused missing resources to *also* be silently
skipped, leading to confusing and very hard to debug failures. In
0.15.1, this behavior was reverted to a panic, making missing resources
easier to debug, but largely making `Single` (and `Populated`)
worthless, as they would panic during expected game states.

Ultimately, the consensus is that this behavior should differ on a
per-system-param basis. However, there was no sensible way to *do* that
before this PR.

## Solution

Swap `SystemParam::validate_param` from a `bool` to:

```rust
/// The outcome of system / system param validation,
/// used by system executors to determine what to do with a system.
pub enum ValidationOutcome {
    /// All system parameters were validated successfully and the system can be run.
    Valid,
    /// At least one system parameter failed validation, and an error must be handled.
    /// By default, this will result in1 a panic. See [crate::error] for more information.
    ///
    /// This is the default behavior, and is suitable for system params that should *always* be valid,
    /// either because sensible fallback behavior exists (like [`Query`] or because
    /// failures in validation should be considered a bug in the user's logic that must be immediately addressed (like [`Res`]).
    Invalid,
    /// At least one system parameter failed validation, but the system should be skipped due to [`ValidationBehavior::Skip`].
    /// This is suitable for system params that are intended to only operate in certain application states, such as [`Single`].
    Skipped,
}
```
Then, inside of each `SystemParam` implementation, return either Valid,
Invalid or Skipped.

Currently, only `Single`, `Option<Single>` and `Populated` use the
`Skipped` behavior. Other params (like resources) retain their current
failing

## Testing

Messed around with the fallible_params example. Added a pair of tests:
one for panicking when resources are missing, and another for properly
skipping `Single` and `Populated` system params.

## To do

- [x] get https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18454 merged
- [x] fix the todo!() in the macro-powered tuple implementation (please
help 🥺)
- [x] test
- [x] write a migration guide
- [x] update the example comments

## Migration Guide

Various system and system parameter validation methods
(`SystemParam::validate_param`, `System::validate_param` and
`System::validate_param_unsafe`) now return and accept a
`ValidationOutcome` enum, rather than a `bool`. The previous `true`
values map to `ValidationOutcome::Valid`, while `false` maps to
`ValidationOutcome::Invalid`.

However, if you wrote a custom schedule executor, you should now respect
the new `ValidationOutcome::Skipped` parameter, skipping any systems
whose validation was skipped. By contrast, `ValidationOutcome::Invalid`
systems should also be skipped, but you should call the
`default_error_handler` on them first, which by default will result in a
panic.

If you are implementing a custom `SystemParam`, you should consider
whether failing system param validation is an error or an expected
state, and choose between `Invalid` and `Skipped` accordingly. In Bevy
itself, `Single` and `Populated` now once again skip the system when
their conditions are not met. This is the 0.15.0 behavior, but stands in
contrast to the 0.15.1 behavior, where they would panic.

Make system param validation rely on the unified ECS error handling via the GLOBAL_ERROR_HANDLER (#18454)
# Objective

There are two related problems here:

1. Users should be able to change the fallback behavior of *all*
ECS-based errors in their application by setting the
`GLOBAL_ERROR_HANDLER`. See #18351 for earlier work in this vein.
2. The existing solution (#15500) for customizing this behavior is high
on boilerplate, not global and adds a great deal of complexity.

The consensus is that the default behavior when a parameter fails
validation should be set based on the kind of system parameter in
question: `Single` / `Populated` should silently skip the system, but
`Res` should panic. Setting this behavior at the system level is a
bandaid that makes getting to that ideal behavior more painful, and can
mask real failures (if a resource is missing but you've ignored a system
to make the Single stop panicking you're going to have a bad day).

## Solution

I've removed the existing `ParamWarnPolicy`-based configuration, and
wired up the `GLOBAL_ERROR_HANDLER`/`default_error_handler` to the
various schedule executors to properly plumb through errors .

Additionally, I've done a small cleanup pass on the corresponding
example.

## Testing

I've run the `fallible_params` example, with both the default and a
custom global error handler. The former panics (as expected), and the
latter spams the error console with warnings 🥲

## Questions for reviewers

1. Currently, failed system param validation will result in endless
console spam. Do you want me to implement a solution for warn_once-style
debouncing somehow?
2. Currently, the error reporting for failed system param validation is
very limited: all we get is that a system param failed validation and
the name of the system. Do you want me to implement improved error
reporting by bubbling up errors in this PR?
3. There is broad consensus that the default behavior for failed system
param validation should be set on a per-system param basis. Would you
like me to implement that in this PR?

My gut instinct is that we absolutely want to solve 2 and 3, but it will
be much easier to do that work (and review it) if we split the PRs
apart.

## Migration Guide

`ParamWarnPolicy` and the `WithParamWarnPolicy` have been removed
completely. Failures during system param validation are now handled via
the `GLOBAL_ERROR_HANDLER`: please see the `bevy_ecs::error` module docs
for more information.

Replace VisitEntities with MapEntities (#18432)
# Objective

There are currently too many disparate ways to handle entity mapping,
especially after #17687. We now have MapEntities, VisitEntities,
VisitEntitiesMut, Component::visit_entities,
Component::visit_entities_mut.

Our only known use case at the moment for these is entity mapping. This
means we have significant consolidation potential.

Additionally, VisitEntitiesMut cannot be implemented for map-style
collections like HashSets, as you cant "just" mutate a `&mut Entity`.
Our current approach to Component mapping requires VisitEntitiesMut,
meaning this category of entity collection isn't mappable. `MapEntities`
is more generally applicable. Additionally, the _existence_ of the
blanket From impl on VisitEntitiesMut blocks us from implementing
MapEntities for HashSets (or any types we don't own), because the owner
could always add a conflicting impl in the future.

## Solution

Use `MapEntities` everywhere and remove all "visit entities" usages.

* Add `Component::map_entities`
* Remove `Component::visit_entities`, `Component::visit_entities_mut`,
`VisitEntities`, and `VisitEntitiesMut`
* Support deriving `Component::map_entities` in `#[derive(Coomponent)]`
* Add `#[derive(MapEntities)]`, and share logic with the
`Component::map_entities` derive.
* Add `ComponentCloneCtx::queue_deferred`, which is command-like logic
that runs immediately after normal clones. Reframe `FromWorld` fallback
logic in the "reflect clone" impl to use it. This cuts out a lot of
unnecessary work and I think justifies the existence of a pseudo-command
interface (given how niche, yet performance sensitive this is).

Note that we no longer auto-impl entity mapping for ` IntoIterator<Item
= &'a Entity>` types, as this would block our ability to implement cases
like `HashMap`. This means the onus is on us (or type authors) to add
explicit support for types that should be mappable.

Also note that the Component-related changes do not require a migration
guide as there hasn't been a release with them yet.

## Migration Guide

If you were previously implementing `VisitEntities` or
`VisitEntitiesMut` (likely via a derive), instead use `MapEntities`.
Those were almost certainly used in the context of Bevy Scenes or
reflection via `ReflectMapEntities`. If you have a case that uses
`VisitEntities` or `VisitEntitiesMut` directly, where `MapEntities` is
not a viable replacement, please let us know!

```rust
// before
#[derive(VisitEntities, VisitEntitiesMut)]
struct Inventory {
  items: Vec<Entity>,
  #[visit_entities(ignore)]
  label: String,
}

// after
#[derive(MapEntities)]
struct Inventory {
  #[entities]
  items: Vec<Entity>,
  label: String,
}

Unify and simplify command and system error handling (#18351)
# Objective

- ECS error handling is a lovely flagship feature for Bevy 0.16, all in
the name of reducing panics and encouraging better error handling
(#14275).
- Currently though, command and system error handling are completely
disjoint and use different mechanisms.
- Additionally, there's a number of distinct ways to set the
default/fallback/global error handler that have limited value. As far as
I can tell, this will be cfg flagged to toggle between dev and
production builds in 99.9% of cases, with no real value in more granular
settings or helpers.
- Fixes #17272

## Solution

- Standardize error handling on the OnceLock global error mechanisms
ironed out in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17215
- As discussed there, there are serious performance concerns there,
especially for commands
- I also think this is a better fit for the use cases, as it's truly
global
- Move from `SystemErrorContext` to a more general purpose
`ErrorContext`, which can handle observers and commands more clearly
- Cut the superfluous setter methods on `App` and `SubApp`
- Rename the limited (and unhelpful) `fallible_systems` example to
`error_handling`, and add an example of command error handling

## Testing

Ran the `error_handling` example.

## Notes for reviewers

- Do you see a clear way to allow commands to retain &mut World access
in the per-command custom error handlers? IMO that's a key feature here
(allowing the ad-hoc creation of custom commands), but I'm not sure how
to get there without exploding complexity.
- I've removed the feature gate on the default_error_handler: contrary
to @cart's opinion in #17215 I think that virtually all apps will want
to use this. Can you think of a category of app that a) is extremely
performance sensitive b) is fine with shipping to production with the
panic error handler? If so, I can try to gather performance numbers
and/or reintroduce the feature flag. UPDATE: see benches at the end of
this message.
- ~~`OnceLock` is in `std`: @bushrat011899 what should we do here?~~
- Do you have ideas for more automated tests for this collection of
features?

## Benchmarks

I checked the impact of the feature flag introduced: benchmarks might
show regressions. This bears more investigation. I'm still skeptical
that there are users who are well-served by a fast always panicking
approach, but I'm going to re-add the feature flag here to avoid
stalling this out.

Queued component registration (#18173)
# Objective

This is an alternative to #17871 and #17701 for tracking issue #18155.
This thanks to @maniwani for help with this design.

The goal is to enable component ids to be reserved from multiple threads
concurrently and with only `&World`. This contributes to assets as
entities, read-only query and system parameter initialization, etc.

## What's wrong with #17871 ?

In #17871, I used my proposed staging utilities to allow *fully*
registering components from any thread concurrently with only
`&Components`. However, if we want to pursue components as entities
(which is desirable for a great many reasons. See
[here](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1346499196655505534)
on discord), this staging isn't going to work. After all, if registering
a component requires spawning an entity, and spawning an entity requires
`&mut World`, it is impossible to register a component fully with only
`&World`.

## Solution

But what if we don't have to register it all the way? What if it's
enough to just know the `ComponentId` it will have once it is registered
and to queue it to be registered at a later time? Spoiler alert: That is
all we need for these features.

Here's the basic design:

Queue a registration:

1. Check if it has already been registered.
2. Check if it has already been queued.
3. Reserve a `ComponentId`.
4. Queue the registration at that id.

Direct (normal) registration:

1. Check if this registration has been queued.
2. If it has, use the queued registration instead.
3. Otherwise, proceed like normal.

Appllying the queue:

1. Pop queued items off one by one.
2. Register them directly.

One other change:

The whole point of this design over #17871 is to facilitate coupling
component registration with the World. To ensure that this would fully
work with that, I went ahead and moved the `ComponentId` generator onto
the world itself. That stemmed a couple of minor organizational changes
(see migration guide). As we do components as entities, we will replace
this generator with `Entities`, which lives on `World` too. Doing this
move early let me verify the design and will reduce migration headaches
in the future. If components as entities is as close as I think it is, I
don't think splitting this up into different PRs is worth it. If it is
not as close as it is, it might make sense to still do #17871 in the
meantime (see the risks section). I'll leave it up to y'all what we end
up doing though.

## Risks and Testing

The biggest downside of this compared to #17871 is that now we have to
deal with correct but invalid `ComponentId`s. They are invalid because
the component still isn't registered, but they are correct because, once
registered, the component will have exactly that id.

However, the only time this becomes a problem is if some code violates
safety rules by queuing a registration and using the returned id as if
it was valid. As this is a new feature though, nothing in Bevy does
this, so no new tests were added for it. When we do use it, I left
detailed docs to help mitigate issues here, and we can test those
usages. Ex: we will want some tests on using queries initialized from
queued registrations.

## Migration Guide

Component registration can now be queued with only `&World`. To
facilitate this, a few APIs needed to be moved around.

The following functions have moved from `Components` to
`ComponentsRegistrator`:

- `register_component`
- `register_component_with_descriptor`
- `register_resource_with_descriptor`
- `register_non_send`
- `register_resource`
- `register_required_components_manual`

Accordingly, functions in `Bundle` and `Component` now take
`ComponentsRegistrator` instead of `Components`.
You can obtain `ComponentsRegistrator` from the new
`World::components_registrator`.
You can obtain `ComponentsQueuedRegistrator` from the new
`World::components_queue`, and use it to stage component registration if
desired.

# Open Question

Can we verify that it is enough to queue registration with `&World`? I
don't think it would be too difficult to package this up into a
`Arc<MyComponentsManager>` type thing if we need to, but keeping this on
`&World` certainly simplifies things. If we do need the `Arc`, we'll
need to look into partitioning `Entities` for components as entities, so
we can keep most of the allocation fast on `World` and only keep a
smaller partition in the `Arc`. I'd love an SME on assets as entities to
shed some light on this.

BevyError: Bevy's new catch-all error type (#18144)
## Objective

Fixes #18092

Bevy's current error type is a simple type alias for `Box<dyn Error +
Send + Sync + 'static>`. This largely works as a catch-all error, but it
is missing a critical feature: the ability to capture a backtrace at the
point that the error occurs. The best way to do this is `anyhow`-style
error handling: a new error type that takes advantage of the fact that
the `?` `From` conversion happens "inline" to capture the backtrace at
the point of the error.

## Solution

This PR adds a new `BevyError` type (replacing our old
`std::error::Error` type alias), which uses the "from conversion
backtrace capture" approach:

```rust
fn oh_no() -> Result<(), BevyError> {
    // this fails with Rust's built in ParseIntError, which
    // is converted into the catch-all BevyError type
    let number: usize = "hi".parse()?;
    println!("parsed {number}");
    Ok(())
}
```

This also updates our exported `Result` type alias to default to
`BevyError`, meaning you can write this instead:

```rust
fn oh_no() -> Result {
    let number: usize = "hi".parse()?;
    println!("parsed {number}");
    Ok(())
}
```

When a BevyError is encountered in a system, it will use Bevy's default
system error handler (which panics by default). BevyError does custom
"backtrace filtering" by default, meaning we can cut out the _massive_
amount of "rust internals", "async executor internals", and "bevy system
scheduler internals" that show up in backtraces. It also trims out the
first generally-unnecssary `From` conversion backtrace lines that make
it harder to locate the real error location. The result is a blissfully
simple backtrace by default:


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7a5f5c9b-ea70-4176-af3b-d231da31c967)

The full backtrace can be shown by setting the `BEVY_BACKTRACE=full`
environment variable. Non-BevyError panics still use the default Rust
backtrace behavior.

One issue that prevented the truly noise-free backtrace during panics
that you see above is that Rust's default panic handler will print the
unfiltered (and largely unhelpful real-panic-point) backtrace by
default, in _addition_ to our filtered BevyError backtrace (with the
helpful backtrace origin) that we capture and print. To resolve this, I
have extended Bevy's existing PanicHandlerPlugin to wrap the default
panic handler. If we panic from the result of a BevyError, we will skip
the default "print full backtrace" panic handler. This behavior can be
enabled and disabled using the new `error_panic_hook` cargo feature in
`bevy_app` (which is enabled by default).

One downside to _not_ using `Box<dyn Error>` directly is that we can no
longer take advantage of the built-in `Into` impl for strings to errors.
To resolve this, I have added the following:

```rust
// Before
Err("some error")?

// After
Err(BevyError::message("some error"))?
```

We can discuss adding shorthand methods or macros for this (similar to
anyhow's `anyhow!("some error")` macro), but I'd prefer to discuss that
later.

I have also added the following extension method:

```rust
// Before
some_option.ok_or("some error")?;

// After
some_option.ok_or_message("some error")?;
```

I've also moved all of our existing error infrastructure from
`bevy_ecs::result` to `bevy_ecs::error`, as I think that is the better
home for it

## Why not anyhow (or eyre)?

The biggest reason is that `anyhow` needs to be a "generically useful
error type", whereas Bevy is a much narrower scope. By using our own
error, we can be significantly more opinionated. For example, anyhow
doesn't do the extensive (and invasive) backtrace filtering that
BevyError does because it can't operate on Bevy-specific context, and
needs to be generically useful.

Bevy also has a lot of operational context (ex: system info) that could
be useful to attach to errors. If we have control over the error type,
we can add whatever context we want to in a structured way. This could
be increasingly useful as we add more visual / interactive error
handling tools and editor integrations.

Additionally, the core approach used is simple and requires almost no
code. anyhow clocks in at ~2500 lines of code, but the impl here uses
160. We are able to boil this down to exactly what we need, and by doing
so we improve our compile times and the understandability of our code.

Preserve spawned RelationshipTarget order and other improvements (#17858)
Fixes #17720

## Objective

Spawning RelationshipTargets from scenes currently fails to preserve
RelationshipTarget ordering (ex: `Children` has an arbitrary order).
This is because it uses the normal hook flow to set up the collection,
which means we are pushing onto the collection in _spawn order_ (which
is currently in archetype order, which will often produce mismatched
orderings).

We need to preserve the ordering in the original RelationshipTarget
collection. Ideally without expensive checking / fixups.

## Solution

One solution would be to spawn in hierarchy-order. However this gets
complicated as there can be multiple hierarchies, and it also means we
can't spawn in more cache-friendly orders (ex: the current per-archetype
spawning, or future even-smarter per-table spawning). Additionally,
same-world cloning has _slightly_ more nuanced needs (ex: recursively
clone linked relationships, while maintaining _original_ relationships
outside of the tree via normal hooks).

The preferred approach is to directly spawn the remapped
RelationshipTarget collection, as this trivially preserves the ordering.
Unfortunately we can't _just_ do that, as when we spawn the children
with their Relationships (ex: `ChildOf`), that will insert a duplicate.

We could "fixup" the collection retroactively by just removing the back
half of duplicates, but this requires another pass / more lookups /
allocating twice as much space. Additionally, it becomes complicated
because observers could insert additional children, making it harder
(aka more expensive) to determine which children are dupes and which are
not.

The path I chose is to support "opting out" of the relationship target
hook in the contexts that need that, as this allows us to just cheaply
clone the mapped collection. The relationship hook can look for this
configuration when it runs and skip its logic when that happens. A
"simple" / small-amount-of-code way to do this would be to add a "skip
relationship spawn" flag to World. Sadly, any hook / observer that runs
_as the result of an insert_ would also read this flag. We really need a
way to scope this setting to a _specific_ insert.

Therefore I opted to add a new `RelationshipInsertHookMode` enum and an
`entity.insert_with_relationship_insert_hook_mode` variant. Obviously
this is verbose and ugly. And nobody wants _more_ insert variants. But
sadly this was the best I could come up with from a performance and
capability perspective. If you have alternatives let me know!

There are three variants:

1. `RelationshipInsertHookMode::Run`: always run relationship insert
hooks (this is the default)
2. `RelationshipInsertHookMode::Skip`: do not run any relationship
insert hooks for this insert (this is used by spawner code)
3. `RelationshipInsertHookMode::RunIfNotLinked`: only run hooks for
_unlinked_ relationships (this is used in same-world recursive entity
cloning to preserve relationships outside of the deep-cloned tree)

Note that I have intentionally only added "insert with relationship hook
mode" variants to the cases we absolutely need (everything else uses the
default `Run` mode), just to keep the code size in check. I do not think
we should add more without real _very necessary_ use cases.

I also made some other minor tweaks:

1. I split out `SourceComponent` from `ComponentCloneCtx`. Reading the
source component no longer needlessly blocks mutable access to
`ComponentCloneCtx`.
2. Thanks to (1), I've removed the `RefCell` wrapper over the cloned
component queue.
3. (1) also allowed me to write to the EntityMapper while queuing up
clones, meaning we can reserve entities during the component clone and
write them to the mapper _before_ inserting the component, meaning
cloned collections can be mapped on insert.
4. I've removed the closure from `write_target_component_ptr` to
simplify the API / make it compatible with the split `SourceComponent`
approach.
5. I've renamed `EntityCloner::recursive` to
`EntityCloner::linked_cloning` to connect that feature more directly
with `RelationshipTarget::LINKED_SPAWN`
6. I've removed `EntityCloneBehavior::RelationshipTarget`. This was
always intended to be temporary, and this new behavior removes the need
for it.

Handle TriggerTargets that are combinations for components/entities (#18024)
# Objective

* Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14074
* Applies CI fixes for #16326

It is currently not possible to issues a trigger that targets a specific
list of components AND a specific list of entities

## Solution

We can now use `((A, B), (entity_1, entity_2))` as a trigger target, as
well as the reverse

## Testing

Added a unit test.

The triggering rules for observers are quite confusing:

Triggers once per entity target

For each entity target, an observer system triggers if any of its
components matches the trigger target components (but it triggers at
most once, since we use an internal counter to make sure that an
observer can run at most once per entity target)

(copied from #14563)
(copied from #16326)

small fix to this PR so it can be merged.

Upgrade to Rust Edition 2024 (#17967)
# Objective

- Fixes #17960

## Solution

- Followed the [edition upgrade
guide](https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/editions/transitioning-an-existing-project-to-a-new-edition.html)

## Testing

- CI

---

## Summary of Changes

### Documentation Indentation

When using lists in documentation, proper indentation is now linted for.
This means subsequent lines within the same list item must start at the
same indentation level as the item.

```rust
/* Valid */
/// - Item 1
///   Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;

/* Invalid */
/// - Item 1
///     Run-on sentence.
/// - Item 2
struct Foo;
```

### Implicit `!` to `()` Conversion

`!` (the never return type, returned by `panic!`, etc.) no longer
implicitly converts to `()`. This is particularly painful for systems
with `todo!` or `panic!` statements, as they will no longer be functions
returning `()` (or `Result<()>`), making them invalid systems for
functions like `add_systems`. The ideal fix would be to accept functions
returning `!` (or rather, _not_ returning), but this is blocked on the
[stabilisation of the `!` type
itself](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.never.html), which is
not done.

The "simple" fix would be to add an explicit `-> ()` to system
signatures (e.g., `|| { todo!() }` becomes `|| -> () { todo!() }`).
However, this is _also_ banned, as there is an existing lint which (IMO,
incorrectly) marks this as an unnecessary annotation.

So, the "fix" (read: workaround) is to put these kinds of `|| -> ! { ...
}` closuers into variables and give the variable an explicit type (e.g.,
`fn()`).

```rust
// Valid
let system: fn() = || todo!("Not implemented yet!");
app.add_systems(..., system);

// Invalid
app.add_systems(..., || todo!("Not implemented yet!"));
```

### Temporary Variable Lifetimes

The order in which temporary variables are dropped has changed. The
simple fix here is _usually_ to just assign temporaries to a named
variable before use.

### `gen` is a keyword

We can no longer use the name `gen` as it is reserved for a future
generator syntax. This involved replacing uses of the name `gen` with
`r#gen` (the raw-identifier syntax).

### Formatting has changed

Use statements have had the order of imports changed, causing a
substantial +/-3,000 diff when applied. For now, I have opted-out of
this change by amending `rustfmt.toml`

```toml
style_edition = "2021"
```

This preserves the original formatting for now, reducing the size of
this PR. It would be a simple followup to update this to 2024 and run
`cargo fmt`.

### New `use<>` Opt-Out Syntax

Lifetimes are now implicitly included in RPIT types. There was a handful
of instances where it needed to be added to satisfy the borrow checker,
but there may be more cases where it _should_ be added to avoid
breakages in user code.

### `MyUnitStruct { .. }` is an invalid pattern

Previously, you could match against unit structs (and unit enum
variants) with a `{ .. }` destructuring. This is no longer valid.

### Pretty much every use of `ref` and `mut` are gone

Pattern binding has changed to the point where these terms are largely
unused now. They still serve a purpose, but it is far more niche now.

### `iter::repeat(...).take(...)` is bad

New lint recommends using the more explicit `iter::repeat_n(..., ...)`
instead.

## Migration Guide

The lifetimes of functions using return-position impl-trait (RPIT) are
likely _more_ conservative than they had been previously. If you
encounter lifetime issues with such a function, please create an issue
to investigate the addition of `+ use<...>`.

## Notes

- Check the individual commits for a clearer breakdown for what
_actually_ changed.

feat(ecs): implement fallible observer systems (#17731)
This commit builds on top of the work done in #16589 and #17051, by
adding support for fallible observer systems.

As with the previous work, the actual results of the observer system are
suppressed for now, but the intention is to provide a way to handle
errors in a global way.

Until then, you can use a `PipeSystem` to manually handle results.

Encapsulate cfg(feature = "track_location") in a type. (#17602)
# Objective

Eliminate the need to write `cfg(feature = "track_location")` every time
one uses an API that may use location tracking. It's verbose, and a
little intimidating. And it requires code outside of `bevy_ecs` that
wants to use location tracking needs to either unconditionally enable
the feature, or include conditional compilation of its own. It would be
good for users to be able to log locations when they are available
without needing to add feature flags to their own crates.

Reduce the number of cases where code compiles with the `track_location`
feature enabled, but not with it disabled, or vice versa. It can be hard
to remember to test it both ways!

Remove the need to store a `None` in `HookContext` when the
`track_location` feature is disabled.

## Solution

Create an `MaybeLocation<T>` type that contains a `T` if the
`track_location` feature is enabled, and is a ZST if it is not. The
overall API is similar to `Option`, but whether the value is `Some` or
`None` is set at compile time and is the same for all values.

Default `T` to `&'static Location<'static>`, since that is the most
common case.

Remove all `cfg(feature = "track_location")` blocks outside of the
implementation of that type, and instead call methods on it.

When `track_location` is disabled, `MaybeLocation` is a ZST and all
methods are `#[inline]` and empty, so they should be entirely removed by
the compiler. But the code will still be visible to the compiler and
checked, so if it compiles with the feature disabled then it should also
compile with it enabled, and vice versa.

## Open Questions

Where should these types live? I put them in `change_detection` because
that's where the existing `MaybeLocation` types were, but we now use
these outside of change detection.

While I believe that the compiler should be able to remove all of these
calls, I have not actually tested anything. If we want to take this
approach, what testing is required to ensure it doesn't impact
performance?

## Migration Guide

Methods like `Ref::changed_by()` that return a `&'static
Location<'static>` will now be available even when the `track_location`
feature is disabled, but they will return a new `MaybeLocation` type.
`MaybeLocation` wraps a `&'static Location<'static>` when the feature is
enabled, and is a ZST when the feature is disabled.

Existing code that needs a `&Location` can call `into_option().unwrap()`
to recover it. Many trait impls are forwarded, so if you only need
`Display` then no changes will be necessary.

If that code was conditionally compiled, you may instead want to use the
methods on `MaybeLocation` to remove the need for conditional
compilation.

Code that constructs a `Ref`, `Mut`, `Res`, or `ResMut` will now need to
provide location information unconditionally. If you are creating them
from existing Bevy types, you can obtain a `MaybeLocation` from methods
like `Table::get_changed_by_slice_for()` or
`ComponentSparseSet::get_with_ticks`. Otherwise, you will need to store
a `MaybeLocation` next to your data and use methods like `as_ref()` or
`as_mut()` to obtain wrapped references.

Harden proc macro path resolution and add integration tests. (#17330)
This pr uses the `extern crate self as` trick to make proc macros behave
the same way inside and outside bevy.

# Objective

- Removes noise introduced by `crate as` in the whole bevy repo.
- Fixes #17004.
- Hardens proc macro path resolution.

## TODO

- [x] `BevyManifest` needs cleanup.
- [x] Cleanup remaining `crate as`.
- [x] Add proper integration tests to the ci.

## Notes

- `cargo-manifest-proc-macros` is written by me and based/inspired by
the old `BevyManifest` implementation and
[`bkchr/proc-macro-crate`](https://github.com/bkchr/proc-macro-crate).
- What do you think about the new integration test machinery I added to
the `ci`?
  More and better integration tests can be added at a later stage.
The goal of these integration tests is to simulate an actual separate
crate that uses bevy. Ideally they would lightly touch all bevy crates.

## Testing

- Needs RA test
- Needs testing from other users
- Others need to run at least `cargo run -p ci integration-test` and
verify that they work.

Improved Entity Mapping and Cloning (#17687)
Fixes #17535

Bevy's approach to handling "entity mapping" during spawning and cloning
needs some work. The addition of
[Relations](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17398) both
[introduced a new "duplicate entities" bug when spawning scenes in the
scene system](#17535) and made the weaknesses of the current mapping
system exceedingly clear:

1. Entity mapping requires _a ton_ of boilerplate (implement or derive
VisitEntities and VisitEntitesMut, then register / reflect MapEntities).
Knowing the incantation is challenging and if you forget to do it in
part or in whole, spawning subtly breaks.
2. Entity mapping a spawned component in scenes incurs unnecessary
overhead: look up ReflectMapEntities, create a _brand new temporary
instance_ of the component using FromReflect, map the entities in that
instance, and then apply that on top of the actual component using
reflection. We can do much better.

Additionally, while our new [Entity cloning
system](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16132) is already pretty
great, it has some areas we can make better:

* It doesn't expose semantic info about the clone (ex: ignore or "clone
empty"), meaning we can't key off of that in places where it would be
useful, such as scene spawning. Rather than duplicating this info across
contexts, I think it makes more sense to add that info to the clone
system, especially given that we'd like to use cloning code in some of
our spawning scenarios.
* EntityCloner is currently built in a way that prioritizes a single
entity clone
* EntityCloner's recursive cloning is built to be done "inside out" in a
parallel context (queue commands that each have a clone of
EntityCloner). By making EntityCloner the orchestrator of the clone we
can remove internal arcs, improve the clarity of the code, make
EntityCloner mutable again, and simplify the builder code.
* EntityCloner does not currently take into account entity mapping. This
is necessary to do true "bullet proof" cloning, would allow us to unify
the per-component scene spawning and cloning UX, and ultimately would
allow us to use EntityCloner in place of raw reflection for scenes like
`Scene(World)` (which would give us a nice performance boost: fewer
archetype moves, less reflection overhead).

## Solution

### Improved Entity Mapping

First, components now have first-class "entity visiting and mapping"
behavior:

```rust
#[derive(Component, Reflect)]
#[reflect(Component)]
struct Inventory {
    size: usize,
    #[entities]
    items: Vec<Entity>,
}
```

Any field with the `#[entities]` annotation will be viewable and
mappable when cloning and spawning scenes.

Compare that to what was required before!

```rust
#[derive(Component, Reflect, VisitEntities, VisitEntitiesMut)]
#[reflect(Component, MapEntities)]
struct Inventory {
    #[visit_entities(ignore)]
    size: usize,
    items: Vec<Entity>,
}
```

Additionally, for relationships `#[entities]` is implied, meaning this
"just works" in scenes and cloning:

```rust
#[derive(Component, Reflect)]
#[relationship(relationship_target = Children)]
#[reflect(Component)]
struct ChildOf(pub Entity);
```

Note that Component _does not_ implement `VisitEntities` directly.
Instead, it has `Component::visit_entities` and
`Component::visit_entities_mut` methods. This is for a few reasons:

1. We cannot implement `VisitEntities for C: Component` because that
would conflict with our impl of VisitEntities for anything that
implements `IntoIterator<Item=Entity>`. Preserving that impl is more
important from a UX perspective.
2. We should not implement `Component: VisitEntities` VisitEntities in
the Component derive, as that would increase the burden of manual
Component trait implementors.
3. Making VisitEntitiesMut directly callable for components would make
it easy to invalidate invariants defined by a component author. By
putting it in the `Component` impl, we can make it harder to call
naturally / unavailable to autocomplete using `fn
visit_entities_mut(this: &mut Self, ...)`.

`ReflectComponent::apply_or_insert` is now
`ReflectComponent::apply_or_insert_mapped`. By moving mapping inside
this impl, we remove the need to go through the reflection system to do
entity mapping, meaning we no longer need to create a clone of the
target component, map the entities in that component, and patch those
values on top. This will make spawning mapped entities _much_ faster
(The default `Component::visit_entities_mut` impl is an inlined empty
function, so it will incur no overhead for unmapped entities).

### The Bug Fix

To solve #17535, spawning code now skips entities with the new
`ComponentCloneBehavior::Ignore` and
`ComponentCloneBehavior::RelationshipTarget` variants (note
RelationshipTarget is a temporary "workaround" variant that allows
scenes to skip these components. This is a temporary workaround that can
be removed as these cases should _really_ be using EntityCloner logic,
which should be done in a followup PR. When that is done,
`ComponentCloneBehavior::RelationshipTarget` can be merged into the
normal `ComponentCloneBehavior::Custom`).

### Improved Cloning

* `Option<ComponentCloneHandler>` has been replaced by
`ComponentCloneBehavior`, which encodes additional intent and context
(ex: `Default`, `Ignore`, `Custom`, `RelationshipTarget` (this last one
is temporary)).
* Global per-world entity cloning configuration has been removed. This
felt overly complicated, increased our API surface, and felt too
generic. Each clone context can have different requirements (ex: what a
user wants in a specific system, what a scene spawner wants, etc). I'd
prefer to see how far context-specific EntityCloners get us first.
* EntityCloner's internals have been reworked to remove Arcs and make it
mutable.
* EntityCloner is now directly stored on EntityClonerBuilder,
simplifying the code somewhat
* EntityCloner's "bundle scratch" pattern has been moved into the new
BundleScratch type, improving its usability and making it usable in
other contexts (such as future cross-world cloning code). Currently this
is still private, but with some higher level safe APIs it could be used
externally for making dynamic bundles
* EntityCloner's recursive cloning behavior has been "externalized". It
is now responsible for orchestrating recursive clones, meaning it no
longer needs to be sharable/clone-able across threads / read-only.
* EntityCloner now does entity mapping during clones, like scenes do.
This gives behavior parity and also makes it more generically useful.
* `RelatonshipTarget::RECURSIVE_SPAWN` is now
`RelationshipTarget::LINKED_SPAWN`, and this field is used when cloning
relationship targets to determine if cloning should happen recursively.
The new `LINKED_SPAWN` term was picked to make it more generically
applicable across spawning and cloning scenarios.

## Next Steps

* I think we should adapt EntityCloner to support cross world cloning. I
think this PR helps set the stage for that by making the internals
slightly more generalized. We could have a CrossWorldEntityCloner that
reuses a lot of this infrastructure.
* Once we support cross world cloning, we should use EntityCloner to
spawn `Scene(World)` scenes. This would yield significant performance
benefits (no archetype moves, less reflection overhead).

Isolate component registration (#17671)
# Objective

Progresses #17569. The end goal here is to synchronize component
registration. See the other PR for details for the motivation behind
that.

For this PR specifically, the objective is to decouple `Components` from
`Storages`. What components are registered etc should have nothing to do
with what Storages looks like. Storages should only care about what
entity archetypes have been spawned.

## Solution

Previously, this was used to create sparse sets for relevant components
when those components were registered. Now, we do that when the
component is inserted/spawned.

This PR proposes doing that in `BundleInfo::new`, but there may be a
better place.

## Testing

In theory, this shouldn't have changed any functionality, so no new
tests were created. I'm not aware of any examples that make heavy use of
sparse set components either.

## Migration Guide

- Remove storages from functions where it is no longer needed.
- Note that SparseSets are no longer present for all registered sparse
set components, only those that have been spawned.

Split Component::register_component_hooks into individual methods (#17685)
# Objective

- Fixes #17411

## Solution

- Deprecated `Component::register_component_hooks`
- Added individual methods for each hook which return `None` if the hook
is unused.

## Testing

- CI

---

## Migration Guide

`Component::register_component_hooks` is now deprecated and will be
removed in a future release. When implementing `Component` manually,
also implement the respective hook methods on `Component`.

```rust
// Before
impl Component for Foo {
    // snip
    fn register_component_hooks(hooks: &mut ComponentHooks) {
            hooks.on_add(foo_on_add);
    }
}

// After
impl Component for Foo {
    // snip
    fn on_add() -> Option<ComponentHook> {
            Some(foo_on_add)
    }
}
```

## Notes

I've chosen to deprecate `Component::register_component_hooks` rather
than outright remove it to ease the migration guide. While it is in a
state of deprecation, it must be used by
`Components::register_component_internal` to ensure users who haven't
migrated to the new hook definition scheme aren't left behind. For users
of the new scheme, a default implementation of
`Component::register_component_hooks` is provided which forwards the new
individual hook implementations.

Personally, I think this is a cleaner API to work with, and would allow
the documentation for hooks to exist on the respective `Component`
methods (e.g., documentation for `OnAdd` can exist on
`Component::on_add`). Ideally, `Component::on_add` would be the hook
itself rather than a getter for the hook, but it is the only way to
early-out for a no-op hook, which is important for performance.

## Migration Guide

`Component::register_component_hooks` has been deprecated. If you are
manually implementing the `Component` trait and registering hooks there,
use the individual methods such as `on_add` instead for increased
clarity.

Move hashbrown and foldhash out of bevy_utils (#17460)
# Objective

- Contributes to #16877

## Solution

- Moved `hashbrown`, `foldhash`, and related types out of `bevy_utils`
and into `bevy_platform_support`
- Refactored the above to match the layout of these types in `std`.
- Updated crates as required.

## Testing

- CI

---

## Migration Guide

- The following items were moved out of `bevy_utils` and into
`bevy_platform_support::hash`:
  - `FixedState`
  - `DefaultHasher`
  - `RandomState`
  - `FixedHasher`
  - `Hashed`
  - `PassHash`
  - `PassHasher`
  - `NoOpHash`
- The following items were moved out of `bevy_utils` and into
`bevy_platform_support::collections`:
  - `HashMap`
  - `HashSet`
- `bevy_utils::hashbrown` has been removed. Instead, import from
`bevy_platform_support::collections` _or_ take a dependency on
`hashbrown` directly.
- `bevy_utils::Entry` has been removed. Instead, import from
`bevy_platform_support::collections::hash_map` or
`bevy_platform_support::collections::hash_set` as appropriate.
- All of the above equally apply to `bevy::utils` and
`bevy::platform_support`.

## Notes

- I left `PreHashMap`, `PreHashMapExt`, and `TypeIdMap` in `bevy_utils`
as they might be candidates for micro-crating. They can always be moved
into `bevy_platform_support` at a later date if desired.

Refactored ComponentHook Parameters into HookContext (#17503)
# Objective

- Make the function signature for `ComponentHook` less verbose

## Solution

- Refactored `Entity`, `ComponentId`, and `Option<&Location>` into a new
`HookContext` struct.

## Testing

- CI

---

## Migration Guide

Update the function signatures for your component hooks to only take 2
arguments, `world` and `context`. Note that because `HookContext` is
plain data with all members public, you can use de-structuring to
simplify migration.

```rust
// Before
fn my_hook(
    mut world: DeferredWorld,
    entity: Entity,
    component_id: ComponentId,
) { ... }

// After
fn my_hook(
    mut world: DeferredWorld,
    HookContext { entity, component_id, caller }: HookContext,
) { ... }
``` 

Likewise, if you were discarding certain parameters, you can use `..` in
the de-structuring:

```rust
// Before
fn my_hook(
    mut world: DeferredWorld,
    entity: Entity,
    _: ComponentId,
) { ... }

// After
fn my_hook(
    mut world: DeferredWorld,
    HookContext { entity, .. }: HookContext,
) { ... }
```

Track callsite for observers & hooks (#15607)
# Objective

Fixes #14708

Also fixes some commands not updating tracked location.


## Solution

`ObserverTrigger` has a new `caller` field with the
`track_change_detection` feature;
hooks take an additional caller parameter (which is `Some(…)` or `None`
depending on the feature).

## Testing

See the new tests in `src/observer/mod.rs`

---

## Showcase

Observers now know from where they were triggered (if
`track_change_detection` is enabled):
```rust
world.observe(move |trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Foo>| {
    println!("Added Foo from {}", trigger.caller());
});
```

## Migration

- hooks now take an additional `Option<&'static Location>` argument

Move Resource trait to its own file (#17469)
# Objective

`bevy_ecs`'s `system` module is something of a grab bag, and *very*
large. This is particularly true for the `system_param` module, which is
more than 2k lines long!

While it could be defensible to put `Res` and `ResMut` there (lol no
they're in change_detection.rs, obviously), it doesn't make any sense to
put the `Resource` trait there. This is confusing to navigate (and
painful to work on and review).

## Solution

- Create a root level `bevy_ecs/resource.rs` module to mirror
`bevy_ecs/component.rs`
- move the `Resource` trait to that module
- move the `Resource` derive macro to that module as well (Rust really
likes when you pun on the names of the derive macro and trait and put
them in the same path)
- fix all of the imports

## Notes to reviewers

- We could probably move more stuff into here, but I wanted to keep this
PR as small as possible given the absurd level of import changes.
- This PR is ground work for my upcoming attempts to store resource data
on components (resources-as-entities). Splitting this code out will make
the work and review a bit easier, and is the sort of overdue refactor
that's good to do as part of more meaningful work.

## Testing

cargo build works!

## Migration Guide

`bevy_ecs::system::Resource` has been moved to
`bevy_ecs::resource::Resource`.

Parent -> ChildOf (#17427)
Fixes #17412

## Objective

`Parent` uses the "has a X" naming convention. There is increasing
sentiment that we should use the "is a X" naming convention for
relationships (following #17398). This leaves `Children` as-is because
there is prevailing sentiment that `Children` is clearer than `ParentOf`
in many cases (especially when treating it like a collection).

This renames `Parent` to `ChildOf`.

This is just the implementation PR. To discuss the path forward, do so
in #17412.

## Migration Guide

- The `Parent` component has been renamed to `ChildOf`.

Support non-Vec data structures in relations (#17447)
# Objective

The existing `RelationshipSourceCollection` uses `Vec` as the only
possible backing for our relationships. While a reasonable choice,
benchmarking use cases might reveal that a different data type is better
or faster.

For example:

- Not all relationships require a stable ordering between the
relationship sources (i.e. children). In cases where we a) have many
such relations and b) don't care about the ordering between them, a hash
set is likely a better datastructure than a `Vec`.
- The number of children-like entities may be small on average, and a
`smallvec` may be faster

## Solution

- Implement `RelationshipSourceCollection` for `EntityHashSet`, our
custom entity-optimized `HashSet`.
-~~Implement `DoubleEndedIterator` for `EntityHashSet` to make things
compile.~~
   -  This implementation was cursed and very surprising.
- Instead, by moving the iterator type on `RelationshipSourceCollection`
from an erased RPTIT to an explicit associated type we can add a trait
bound on the offending methods!
- Implement `RelationshipSourceCollection` for `SmallVec`

## Testing

I've added a pair of new tests to make sure this pattern compiles
successfully in practice!

## Migration Guide

`EntityHashSet` and `EntityHashMap` are no longer re-exported in
`bevy_ecs::entity` directly. If you were not using `bevy_ecs` / `bevy`'s
`prelude`, you can access them through their now-public modules,
`hash_set` and `hash_map` instead.

## Notes to reviewers

The `EntityHashSet::Iter` type needs to be public for this impl to be
allowed. I initially renamed it to something that wasn't ambiguous and
re-exported it, but as @Victoronz pointed out, that was somewhat
unidiomatic.

In
1a8564898f,
I instead made the `entity_hash_set` public (and its `entity_hash_set`)
sister public, and removed the re-export. I prefer this design (give me
module docs please), but it leads to a lot of churn in this PR.

Let me know which you'd prefer, and if you'd like me to split that
change out into its own micro PR.

Relationships (non-fragmenting, one-to-many) (#17398)
This adds support for one-to-many non-fragmenting relationships (with
planned paths for fragmenting and non-fragmenting many-to-many
relationships). "Non-fragmenting" means that entities with the same
relationship type, but different relationship targets, are not forced
into separate tables (which would cause "table fragmentation").

Functionally, this fills a similar niche as the current Parent/Children
system. The biggest differences are:

1. Relationships have simpler internals and significantly improved
performance and UX. Commands and specialized APIs are no longer
necessary to keep everything in sync. Just spawn entities with the
relationship components you want and everything "just works".
2. Relationships are generalized. Bevy can provide additional built in
relationships, and users can define their own.

**REQUEST TO REVIEWERS**: _please don't leave top level comments and
instead comment on specific lines of code. That way we can take
advantage of threaded discussions. Also dont leave comments simply
pointing out CI failures as I can read those just fine._

## Built on top of what we have

Relationships are implemented on top of the Bevy ECS features we already
have: components, immutability, and hooks. This makes them immediately
compatible with all of our existing (and future) APIs for querying,
spawning, removing, scenes, reflection, etc. The fewer specialized APIs
we need to build, maintain, and teach, the better.

## Why focus on one-to-many non-fragmenting first?

1. This allows us to improve Parent/Children relationships immediately,
in a way that is reasonably uncontroversial. Switching our hierarchy to
fragmenting relationships would have significant performance
implications. ~~Flecs is heavily considering a switch to non-fragmenting
relations after careful considerations of the performance tradeoffs.~~
_(Correction from @SanderMertens: Flecs is implementing non-fragmenting
storage specialized for asset hierarchies, where asset hierarchies are
many instances of small trees that have a well defined structure)_
2. Adding generalized one-to-many relationships is currently a priority
for the [Next Generation Scene / UI
effort](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437).
Specifically, we're interested in building reactions and observers on
top.

## The changes

This PR does the following:

1. Adds a generic one-to-many Relationship system
3. Ports the existing Parent/Children system to Relationships, which now
lives in `bevy_ecs::hierarchy`. The old `bevy_hierarchy` crate has been
removed.
4. Adds on_despawn component hooks
5. Relationships can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior, meaning
that the entire relationship hierarchy is despawned when
`entity.despawn()` is called. The built in Parent/Children hierarchies
enable this behavior, and `entity.despawn_recursive()` has been removed.
6. `world.spawn` now applies commands after spawning. This ensures that
relationship bookkeeping happens immediately and removes the need to
manually flush. This is in line with the equivalent behaviors recently
added to the other APIs (ex: insert).
7. Removes the ValidParentCheckPlugin (system-driven / poll based) in
favor of a `validate_parent_has_component` hook.

## Using Relationships

The `Relationship` trait looks like this:

```rust
pub trait Relationship: Component + Sized {
    type RelationshipSources: RelationshipSources<Relationship = Self>;
    fn get(&self) -> Entity;
    fn from(entity: Entity) -> Self;
}
```

A relationship is a component that:

1. Is a simple wrapper over a "target" Entity.
2. Has a corresponding `RelationshipSources` component, which is a
simple wrapper over a collection of entities. Every "target entity"
targeted by a "source entity" with a `Relationship` has a
`RelationshipSources` component, which contains every "source entity"
that targets it.

For example, the `Parent` component (as it currently exists in Bevy) is
the `Relationship` component and the entity containing the Parent is the
"source entity". The entity _inside_ the `Parent(Entity)` component is
the "target entity". And that target entity has a `Children` component
(which implements `RelationshipSources`).

In practice, the Parent/Children relationship looks like this:

```rust
#[derive(Relationship)]
#[relationship(relationship_sources = Children)]
pub struct Parent(pub Entity);

#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```

The Relationship and RelationshipSources derives automatically implement
Component with the relevant configuration (namely, the hooks necessary
to keep everything in sync).

The most direct way to add relationships is to spawn entities with
relationship components:

```rust
let a = world.spawn_empty().id();
let b = world.spawn(Parent(a)).id();

assert_eq!(world.entity(a).get::<Children>().unwrap(), &[b]);
```

There are also convenience APIs for spawning more than one entity with
the same relationship:

```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_related::<Children>(|s| {
    s.spawn_empty();
    s.spawn_empty();
})
```

The existing `with_children` API is now a simpler wrapper over
`with_related`. This makes this change largely non-breaking for existing
spawn patterns.

```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_children(|s| {
    s.spawn_empty();
    s.spawn_empty();
})
```

There are also other relationship APIs, such as `add_related` and
`despawn_related`.

## Automatic recursive despawn via the new on_despawn hook

`RelationshipSources` can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior,
which will despawn all related entities in the relationship hierarchy:

```rust
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent, despawn_descendants)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```

This means that `entity.despawn_recursive()` is no longer required.
Instead, just use `entity.despawn()` and the relevant related entities
will also be despawned.

To despawn an entity _without_ despawning its parent/child descendants,
you should remove the `Children` component first, which will also remove
the related `Parent` components:

```rust
entity
    .remove::<Children>()
    .despawn()
```

This builds on the on_despawn hook introduced in this PR, which is fired
when an entity is despawned (before other hooks).

## Relationships are the source of truth

`Relationship` is the _single_ source of truth component.
`RelationshipSources` is merely a reflection of what all the
`Relationship` components say. By embracing this, we are able to
significantly improve the performance of the system as a whole. We can
rely on component lifecycles to protect us against duplicates, rather
than needing to scan at runtime to ensure entities don't already exist
(which results in quadratic runtime). A single source of truth gives us
constant-time inserts. This does mean that we cannot directly spawn
populated `Children` components (or directly add or remove entities from
those components). I personally think this is a worthwhile tradeoff,
both because it makes the performance much better _and_ because it means
theres exactly one way to do things (which is a philosophy we try to
employ for Bevy APIs).

As an aside: treating both sides of the relationship as "equivalent
source of truth relations" does enable building simple and flexible
many-to-many relationships. But this introduces an _inherent_ need to
scan (or hash) to protect against duplicates.
[`evergreen_relations`](https://github.com/EvergreenNest/evergreen_relations)
has a very nice implementation of the "symmetrical many-to-many"
approach. Unfortunately I think the performance issues inherent to that
approach make it a poor choice for Bevy's default relationship system.

## Followup Work

* Discuss renaming `Parent` to `ChildOf`. I refrained from doing that in
this PR to keep the diff reasonable, but I'm personally biased toward
this change (and using that naming pattern generally for relationships).
* [Improved spawning
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
* Consider adding relationship observers/triggers for "relationship
targets" whenever a source is added or removed. This would replace the
current "hierarchy events" system, which is unused upstream but may have
existing users downstream. I think triggers are the better fit for this
than a buffered event queue, and would prefer not to add that back.
* Fragmenting relations: My current idea hinges on the introduction of
"value components" (aka: components whose type _and_ value determines
their ComponentId, via something like Hashing / PartialEq). By labeling
a Relationship component such as `ChildOf(Entity)` as a "value
component", `ChildOf(e1)` and `ChildOf(e2)` would be considered
"different components". This makes the transition between fragmenting
and non-fragmenting a single flag, and everything else continues to work
as expected.
* Many-to-many support
* Non-fragmenting: We can expand Relationship to be a list of entities
instead of a single entity. I have largely already written the code for
this.
* Fragmenting: With the "value component" impl mentioned above, we get
many-to-many support "for free", as it would allow inserting multiple
copies of a Relationship component with different target entities.

Fixes #3742 (If this PR is merged, I think we should open more targeted
followup issues for the work above, with a fresh tracking issue free of
the large amount of less-directed historical context)
Fixes #17301
Fixes #12235 
Fixes #15299
Fixes #15308 

## Migration Guide

* Replace `ChildBuilder` with `ChildSpawnerCommands`.
* Replace calls to `.set_parent(parent_id)` with
`.insert(Parent(parent_id))`.
* Replace calls to `.replace_children()` with `.remove::<Children>()`
followed by `.add_children()`. Note that you'll need to manually despawn
any children that are not carried over.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_recursive()` with `.despawn()`.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_descendants()` with
`.despawn_related::<Children>()`.
* If you have any calls to `.despawn()` which depend on the children
being preserved, you'll need to remove the `Children` component first.

Remove Event: Component trait bound using a wrapper type which impls Component (#17380)
# Objective

As raised in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/17317, the `Event:
Component` trait bound is confusing to users.

In general, a type `E` (like `AppExit`) which implements `Event` should
not:

- be stored as a component on an entity
- be a valid option for `Query<&AppExit>`
- require the storage type and other component metadata to be specified

Events are not components (even if they one day use some of the same
internal mechanisms), and this trait bound is confusing to users.

We're also automatically generating `Component` impls with our derive
macro, which should be avoided when possible to improve explicitness and
avoid conflicts with user impls.

Closes #17317, closes #17333

## Solution

- We only care that each unique event type gets a unique `ComponentId`
- dynamic events need their own tools for getting identifiers anyways
- This avoids complicating the internals of `ComponentId` generation.
- Clearly document why this cludge-y solution exists.

In the medium term, I think that either a) properly generalizing
`ComponentId` (and moving it into `bevy_reflect?) or b) using a
new-typed `Entity` as the key for events is more correct. This change is
stupid simple though, and removes the offending trait bound in a way
that doesn't introduce complex tech debt and does not risk changes to
the internals.

This change does not:

- restrict our ability to implement dynamic buffered events (the main
improvement over #17317)
- there's still a fair bit of work to do, but this is a step in the
right direction
- limit our ability to store event metadata on entities in the future
- make it harder for users to work with types that are both events and
components (just add the derive / trait bound)

## Migration Guide

The `Event` trait no longer requires the `Component` trait. If you were
relying on this behavior, change your trait bounds from `Event` to
`Event + Component`. If you also want your `Event` type to implement
`Component`, add a derive.

Make ObservedBy public (#17297)
# Objective
- Currently, the `ObservedBy`-component is only public within the
`bevy_ecs` crate. Sometimes it is desirable to refer to this component
in the "game-code". Two examples that come in mind:
- Clearing all components in an entity, but intending to keep the
existing observers: Making `ObservedBy` public allows us to use
`commands.entity(entity).retain::<ObservedBy>();`, which clears all
other components, but keeps `ObservedBy`, which prevents the Observers
from despawning.
- The opposite of the above, clearing all of entities' Observers:
`commands.entity(entity).remove::<ObservedBy>` will despawn all
associated Observers. Admittedly, a cleaner solution would be something
like `commands.entity(entity).clear_observers()`, but this is
sufficient.

## Solution

- Removed `(crate)` "rule" and added `ObservedBy` to the prelude-module

## Testing

- Linked `bevy_ecs` locally with another project to see if `ObservedBy`
could be referenced.

Remove Implicit std Prelude from no_std Crates (#17086)
# Background

In `no_std` compatible crates, there is often an `std` feature which
will allow access to the standard library. Currently, with the `std`
feature _enabled_, the
[`std::prelude`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/prelude/index.html) is
implicitly imported in all modules. With the feature _disabled_, instead
the [`core::prelude`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/prelude/index.html)
is implicitly imported. This creates a subtle and pervasive issue where
`alloc` items _may_ be implicitly included (if `std` is enabled), or
must be explicitly included (if `std` is not enabled).

# Objective

- Make the implicit imports for `no_std` crates consistent regardless of
what features are/not enabled.

## Solution

- Replace the `cfg_attr` "double negative" `no_std` attribute with
conditional compilation to _include_ `std` as an external crate.
```rust
// Before
#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]

// After
#![no_std]

#[cfg(feature = "std")]
extern crate std;
```
- Fix imports that are currently broken but are only now visible with
the above fix.

## Testing

- CI

## Notes

I had previously used the "double negative" version of `no_std` based on
general consensus that it was "cleaner" within the Rust embedded
community. However, this implicit prelude issue likely was considered
when forming this consensus. I believe the reason why is the items most
affected by this issue are provided by the `alloc` crate, which is
rarely used within embedded but extensively used within Bevy.

Move some structs that impl Command to methods on World and EntityWorldMut (#16999)
## Objective

Commands were previously limited to structs that implemented `Command`.
Now there are blanket implementations for closures, which (in my
opinion) are generally preferable.

Internal commands within `commands/mod.rs` have been switched from
structs to closures, but there are a number of internal commands in
other areas of the engine that still use structs. I'd like to tidy these
up by moving their implementations to methods on
`World`/`EntityWorldMut` and changing `Commands` to use those methods
through closures.

This PR handles the following:
- `TriggerEvent` and `EmitDynamicTrigger` double as commands and helper
structs, and can just be moved to `World` methods.
- Four structs that enabled insertion/removal of components via
reflection. This functionality shouldn't be exclusive to commands, and
can be added to `EntityWorldMut`.
- Five structs that mostly just wrapped `World` methods, and can be
replaced with closures that do the same thing.

## Solution

- __Observer Triggers__ (`observer/trigger_event.rs` and
`observer/mod.rs`)
- Moved the internals of `TriggerEvent` to the `World` methods that used
it.
  - Replaced `EmitDynamicTrigger` with two `World` methods:
    - `trigger_targets_dynamic`
    - `trigger_targets_dynamic_ref`
- `TriggerTargets` was now the only thing in
`observer/trigger_event.rs`, so it's been moved to `observer/mod.rs` and
`trigger_event.rs` was deleted.
- __Reflection Insert/Remove__ (`reflect/entity_commands.rs`)
- Replaced the following `Command` impls with equivalent methods on
`EntityWorldMut`:
    - `InsertReflect` -> `insert_reflect`
    - `InsertReflectWithRegistry` -> `insert_reflect_with_registry`
    - `RemoveReflect` -> `remove_reflect`
    - `RemoveReflectWithRegistry` -> `remove_reflect_with_registry`
- __System Registration__ (`system/system_registry.rs`)
- The following `Command` impls just wrapped a `World` method and have
been replaced with closures:
    - `RunSystemWith`
    - `UnregisterSystem`
    - `RunSystemCachedWith`
    - `UnregisterSystemCached`
- `RegisterSystem` called a helper function that basically worked as a
constructor for `RegisteredSystem` and made sure it came with a marker
component. That helper function has been replaced with
`RegisteredSystem::new` and a `#[require]`.

## Possible Addition

The extension trait that adds the reflection commands,
`ReflectCommandExt`, isn't strictly necessary; we could just `impl
EntityCommands`. We could even move them to the same files as the main
impls and put it behind a `#[cfg]`.

The PR that added it [had a similar
conversation](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8895#discussion_r1234713671)
and decided to stick with the trait, but we could revisit it here if so
desired.

Prefer Display over Debug (#16112)
# Objective

Fixes #16104

## Solution

I removed all instances of `:?` and put them back one by one where it
caused an error.

I removed some bevy_utils helper functions that were only used in 2
places and don't add value. See: #11478

## Testing

CI should catch the mistakes

## Migration Guide

`bevy::utils::{dbg,info,warn,error}` were removed. Use
`bevy::utils::tracing::{debug,info,warn,error}` instead.

Faster entity cloning (#16717)
# Objective

#16132 introduced entity cloning functionality, and while it works and
is useful, it can be made faster. This is the promised follow-up to
improve performance.

## Solution

**PREFACE**: This is my first time writing `unsafe` in rust and I have
only vague idea about what I'm doing. I would encourage reviewers to
scrutinize `unsafe` parts in particular.

The solution is to clone component data to an intermediate buffer and
use `EntityWorldMut::insert_by_ids` to insert components without
additional archetype moves.

To facilitate this, `EntityCloner::clone_entity` now reads all
components of the source entity and provides clone handlers with the
ability to read component data straight from component storage using
`read_source_component` and write to an intermediate buffer using
`write_target_component`. `ComponentId` is used to check that requested
type corresponds to the type available on source entity.

Reflect-based handler is a little trickier to pull of: we only have
`&dyn Reflect` and no direct access to the underlying data.
`ReflectFromPtr` can be used to get `&dyn Reflect` from concrete
component data, but to write it we need to create a clone of the
underlying data using `Reflect`. For this reason only components that
have `ReflectDefault` or `ReflectFromReflect` or `ReflectFromWorld` can
be cloned, all other components will be skipped. The good news is that
this is actually only a temporary limitation: once #13432 lands we will
be able to clone component without requiring one of these `type data`s.

This PR also introduces `entity_cloning` benchmark to better compare
changes between the PR and main, you can see the results in the
**showcase** section.

## Testing

- All previous tests passing
- Added test for fast reflect clone path (temporary, will be removed
after reflection-based cloning lands)
- Ran miri

## Showcase
Here's a table demonstrating the improvement:

| **benchmark** | **main, avg** | **PR, avg** | **change, avg** |
| ----------------------- | ------------- | ----------- |
--------------- |
| many components reflect | 18.505 µs | 2.1351 µs | -89.095% |
| hierarchy wide reflect* | 22.778 ms | 4.1875 ms | -81.616% |
| hierarchy tall reflect* | 107.24 µs | 26.322 µs | -77.141% |
| hierarchy many reflect | 78.533 ms | 9.7415 ms | -87.596% |
| many components clone | 1.3633 µs | 758.17 ns | -45.937% |
| hierarchy wide clone* | 2.7716 ms | 3.3411 ms | +20.546% |
| hierarchy tall clone* | 17.646 µs | 20.190 µs | +17.379% |
| hierarchy many clone | 5.8779 ms | 4.2650 ms | -27.439% |

*: these benchmarks have entities with only 1 component

## Considerations
Once #10154 is resolved a large part of the functionality in this PR
will probably become obsolete. It might still be a little bit faster
than using command batching, but the complexity might not be worth it.

## Migration Guide
- `&EntityCloner` in component clone handlers is changed to `&mut
ComponentCloneCtx` to better separate data.
- Changed `EntityCloneHandler` from enum to struct and added convenience
functions to add default clone and reflect handler more easily.
