# 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.

# Objective
- Cleanup related to #19495.
## Solution
- Delete `System::component_access()`. It is redundant with
`System::component_access_set().combined_access()`.
## Testing
- None. There are no callers of this function.
# Objective
Make the restrictions of `transmute_lens` and related functions clearer.
Related issue: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/12156
Related PR: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/12157
## Solution
* Make it clearer that the set of returned entities is a subset of those
from the original query
* Move description of read/write/required access to a table
* Reference the new table in `transmute_lens` docs from the other
`transmute_lens*` functions
## Testing
cargo doc --open locally to check this render correctly

# Objective
- A preparation for the 'system as entities'
- The current system has a series of states such as `is_send`,
`is_exclusive`, `has_defered`, As `system as entites` landed, it may
have more states. Using Bitflags to unify all states is a more concise
and performant approach
## Solution
- Using Bitflags to unify system state.
# Objective
Help users discover how to use `Option<T>` and `When<T>` to handle
failing parameters.
## Solution
Have the error message for a failed parameter mention that `Option<T>`
and `When<T>` can be used to handle the failure.
## Showcase
```
Encountered an error in system `system_name`: Parameter `Res<ResourceType>` failed validation: Resource does not exist
If this is an expected state, wrap the parameter in `Option<T>` and handle `None` when it happens, or wrap the parameter in `When<T>` to skip the system when it happens.
```
# 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

# Objective
`Populated`, a loose wrapper around `Query`, does not implement
`IntoIterator`, requiring either a deref or `into_inner()` call to
access the `Query` and iterate over that.
## Solution
This pr implements `IntoIterator` for `Populated`, `&Populated`, and
`&mut Populated`, each of which forwards the call to the inner `Query`.
This allows the `Populated` to be used directly for any API that takes
an `impl IntoIterator`.
## Testing
`cargo test` was run on the `bevy_ecs` crate
```
test result: ok. 390 passed; 0 failed; 2 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 46.38s
```
# 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`.
# Objective
- move SyncCell and SyncUnsafeCell to bevy_platform
## Solution
- move SyncCell and SyncUnsafeCell to bevy_platform
## Testing
- cargo clippy works
# Objective
Fix some grammatical errors: it's -> its
Not the most useful commit in the world, but I saw a couple of these and
decided to fix the lot.
## Solution
-
## Testing
-
Hiya!
# Objective
- Remove upcasting methods that are no longer necessary since Rust 1.86.
- Cleanup the interned label code.
## Notes
- I didn't try to remove the upcasting methods from `bevy_reflect`, as
there appears to be some complexity related to remote type reflection.
- There are likely some other upcasting methods floating around.
## Testing
I ran the `breakout` example to check that the hashing/eq
implementations of the labels are still correct.

# Objective
`bevy_mod_debugdump` uses the `SystemTypeSet::system_type` to look up
constrains like `(system_1, system_2.after(system_1))`. For that it
needs to find the type id in `schedule.graph().systems()`
Now with systems being wrapped in an `InfallibleSystemWrapper` this
association was no longer possible.
## Solution
By forwarding the type id in `InfallibleSystemWrapper`,
`bevy_mod_debugdump` can resolve the dependencies as before, and the
wrapper is an unnoticable implementation detail.
## Testing
- `cargo test -p bevy_ecs`
I'm not sure what exactly could break otherwise.
# Objective
Remove errant "a" from docs.
(I'm assuming that this sort of trivial fix is easy enough to merge that
it's worth doing, but let me know if you'd prefer me to not bother.)
# Objective
Fixes#19120
## Solution
Use the find and replace token feature in VSCode to replace all the
`Condition`s with `SystemCondition`s. Then look through all the
documentation with find and replace to replace all the `Condition`s
there.
## Testing
- Did you test these changes? If so, how?
Yes, used cargo clippy, cargo build and cargo test.
- Are there any parts that need more testing?
Nope
- How can other people (reviewers) test your changes? Is there anything
specific they need to know?
By compiling and running bevy
- If relevant, what platforms did you test these changes on, and are
there any important ones you can't test?
Shouldn't be, but Fedora Linux with KDE Wayland

> 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)
…
```
# Objective
In my own project I was encountering the issue to find out which
entities were spawned after applying commands. I began maintaining a
vector of all entities with generational information before and after
applying the command and diffing it. This was awfully complicated though
and has no constant complexity but grows with the number of entities.
## Solution
Looking at `EntyMeta` it seemed obvious to me that struct can track the
tick just as it does with `MaybeLocation`, updated from the same call.
After that it became almost a given to also introduce query data
`SpawnDetails` which offers methods to get the spawn tick and location,
and query filter `Spawned` that filters entities out that were not
spawned since the last run.
## Testing
I expanded a few tests and added new ones, though maybe I forgot a group
of tests that should be extended too. I basically searched `bevy_ecs`
for mentions of `Changed` and `Added` to see where the tests and docs
are.
Benchmarks of spawn/despawn can be found
[here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/19047#issuecomment-2852181374).
---
## Showcase
From the added docs, systems with equal complexity since the filter is
not archetypal:
```rs
fn system1(q: Query<Entity, Spawned>) {
for entity in &q { /* entity spawned */ }
}
fn system2(query: Query<(Entity, SpawnDetails)>) {
for (entity, spawned) in &query {
if spawned.is_spawned() { /* entity spawned */ }
}
}
```
`SpawnedDetails` has a few more methods:
```rs
fn print_spawn_details(query: Query<(Entity, SpawnDetails)>) {
for (entity, spawn_details) in &query {
if spawn_details.is_spawned() {
print!("new ");
}
println!(
"entity {:?} spawned at {:?} by {:?}",
entity,
spawn_details.spawned_at(),
spawn_details.spawned_by()
);
}
}
```
## Changes
No public api was changed, I only added to it. That is why I added no
migration guide.
- query data `SpawnDetails`
- query filter `Spawned`
- method `Entities::entity_get_spawned_or_despawned_at`
- method `EntityRef::spawned_at`
- method `EntityMut::spawned_at`
- method `EntityWorldMut::spawned_at`
- method `UnsafeEntityCell::spawned_at`
- method `FilteredEntityRef::spawned_at`
- method `FilteredEntityMut::spawned_at`
- method `EntityRefExcept::spawned_at`
- method `EntityMutExcept::spawned_at`

# 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.

# Objective
Provide a generic `impl SystemParam for Option<P>` that uses system
parameter validation. This immediately gives useful impls for params
like `EventReader` and `GizmosState` that are defined in terms of `Res`.
It also allows third-party system parameters to be usable with `Option`,
which was previously impossible due to orphan rules.
Note that this is a behavior change for `Option<Single>`. It currently
fails validation if there are multiple matching entities, but with this
change it will pass validation and produce `None`.
Also provide an impl for `Result<P, SystemParamValidationError>`. This
allows systems to inspect the error if necessary, either for bubbling it
up or for checking the `skipped` flag.
Fixes#12634Fixes#14949
Related to #18516
## Solution
Add generic `SystemParam` impls for `Option` and `Result`, and remove
the impls for specific types.
Update documentation and `fallible_params` example with the new
semantics for `Option<Single>`.
# Objective
A fair few items were deprecated in 0.16. Let's delete them now that
we're in the 0.17 development cycle!
## Solution
- Deleted items marked deprecated in 0.16.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Notes
I'm making the assumption that _everything_ deprecated in 0.16 should be
removed in 0.17. That may be a false assumption in certain cases. Please
check the items to be removed to see if there are any exceptions we
should keep around for another cycle!
# Objective
In #18301, `NonSendMarker` was defined in such a way that it actually
implements `Send`. This isn't strictly a soundness issue, as its goal is
to be used as a `SystemParam`, and it _does_ appropriately mark system
access as `!Send`. It just seems odd that `NonSendMarker: Send`.
## Solution
- Made `NonSendMarker` wrap `PhantomData<*mut ()>`, which forces it to
be `!Send`.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Notes
This does mean constructing a `NonSendMarker` _value_ will require using
the `SystemParam` trait, but I think that's acceptable as the marker as
a value should be rarely required if at all.
# Objective
Originally [provided as a solution to a user's problem in
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1247654592838111302/1344431131277394042),
library authors might find the need to present user-registered systems
with system-specific data. Typically `Local<T>` is used for this type of
thing, but its not generally feasible or possible to configure/set the
underlying `T` data for locals. Alternatively, we can use `SystemInput`
to pass the data.
## Solution
- Added `IntoSystem::with_input`: Allows system-specific data to be
passed in explicitly.
- Added `IntoSystem::with_input_from`: Allows system-specific data to be
created at initialization time via `FromWorld`.
## Testing
Added two new tests, testing each of `with_input` and `with_input_from`.
# Objective
Let `FilteredEntityRef` and `FilteredEntityMut` receive access when
nested inside tuples or `#[derive(QueryData)]` types. Make sure to
exclude any access that would conflict with other subqueries!
Fixes#14349
## Solution
Replace `WorldQuery::set_access(state, access)` with a new method,
`QueryData::provide_extra_access(state, access, available_access)`, that
passes both the total available access and the currently used access.
This is called after `WorldQuery::update_component_access()`, so any
access used by ordinary subqueries will be known. `FilteredEntityRef`
and `FilteredEntityMut` can use the combination to determine how much
access they can safely take, while tuples can safely pass those
parameters directly to their subqueries.
This requires a new `Access::remove_conflicting_access()` method that
can be used to remove any access that would conflict with existing
access. Implementing this method was easier by first factoring some
common set manipulation code out of `Access::extend`. I can extract that
refactoring to a separate PR if desired.
Have `FilteredEntity(Ref|Mut)` store `Access` instead of
`FilteredAccess` because they do not need to keep track of the filter.
This was necessary in an early draft but no longer is. I left it in
because it's small and I'm touching that code anyway, but I can extract
it to a separate PR if desired.
# Objective
Based on and closes#18054, this PR builds on #18035 and #18147 to
remove:
- `Commands::insert_or_spawn_batch`
- `Entities::alloc_at_without_replacement`
- `Entities::alloc_at`
- `entity::AllocAtWithoutReplacement`
- `World::insert_or_spawn_batch`
- `World::insert_or_spawn_batch_with_caller`
## Testing
Just removing unused, deprecated code, so no new tests. Note that as of
writing, #18035 is still under testing and review.
## Future Work
Per
[this](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/18054#issuecomment-2689088899)
comment on #18054, there may be additional performance improvements
possible to the entity allocator now that `alloc_at` no longer is
supported. At a glance, I don't see anything obvious to improve, but it
may be worth further investigation in the future.

# Objective
Stop using `ArchetypeComponentId` in the executor. These IDs will grow
even more quickly with relations, and the size may start to degrade
performance.
## Solution
Have systems expose their `FilteredAccessSet<ComponentId>`, and have the
executor use that to determine which systems conflict. This can be
determined statically, so determine all conflicts during initialization
and only perform bit tests when running.
## Testing
I ran many_foxes and didn't see any performance changes. It's probably
worth testing this with a wider range of realistic schedules to see
whether the reduced concurrency has a cost in practice, but I don't know
what sort of test cases to use.
## Migration Guide
The schedule will now prevent systems from running in parallel if there
*could* be an archetype that they conflict on, even if there aren't
actually any. For example, these systems will now conflict even if no
entity has both `Player` and `Enemy` components:
```rust
fn player_system(query: Query<(&mut Transform, &Player)>) {}
fn enemy_system(query: Query<(&mut Transform, &Enemy)>) {}
```
To allow them to run in parallel, use `Without` filters, just as you
would to allow both queries in a single system:
```rust
// Either one of these changes alone would be enough
fn player_system(query: Query<(&mut Transform, &Player), Without<Enemy>>) {}
fn enemy_system(query: Query<(&mut Transform, &Enemy), Without<Player>>) {}
```
# 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.
# Objective
Create a `When` system param wrapper for skipping systems that fail
validation.
Currently, the `Single` and `Populated` parameters cause systems to skip
when they fail validation, while the `Res` family causes systems to
error. Generalize this so that any fallible parameter can be used either
to skip a system or to raise an error. A parameter used directly will
always raise an error, and a parameter wrapped in `When<P>` will always
cause the system to be silently skipped.
~~Note that this changes the behavior for `Single` and `Populated`. The
current behavior will be available using `When<Single>` and
`When<Populated>`.~~
Fixes#18516
## Solution
Create a `When` system param wrapper that wraps an inner parameter and
converts all validation errors to `skipped`.
~~Change the behavior of `Single` and `Populated` to fail by default.~~
~~Replace in-engine use of `Single` with `When<Single>`. I updated the
`fallible_systems` example, but not all of the others. The other
examples I looked at appeared to always have one matching entity, and it
seemed more clear to use the simpler type in those cases.~~

# Objective
Fixes#18857.
## Solution
Add the requested method, and a `try_` variant as well.
## Testing
It compiles, doctests succeed, and is trivial enough that I don't think
it needs a unit test (correct me if I'm wrong though).
# Objective
After #17967, closures which always panic no longer satisfy various Bevy
traits. Principally, this affects observers, systems and commands.
While this may seem pointless (systems which always panic are kind of
useless), it is distinctly annoying when using the `todo!` macro, or
when writing tests that should panic.
Fixes#18778.
## Solution
- Add failing tests to demonstrate the problem
- Add the trick from
[`never_say_never`](https://docs.rs/never-say-never/latest/never_say_never/)
to name the `!` type on stable Rust
- Write looots of docs explaining what the heck is going on and why
we've done this terrible thing
## To do
Unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to avoid conflicting impls, and
I am out of time for today, the week and uh the week after that.
Vacation! If you feel like finishing this for me, please submit PRs to
my branch and I can review and press the button for it while I'm off.
Unless you're Cart, in which case you have write permissions to my
branch!
- [ ] fix for commands
- [ ] fix for systems
- [ ] fix for observers
- [ ] revert https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy-website/pull/2092/
## Testing
I've added a compile test for these failure cases and a few adjacent
non-failing cases (with explicit return types).
---------
Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>
The parameter `In` of `call_inner` is completely unconstrained by its
arguments and return type. We are only able to infer it by assuming that
the only associated type equal to `In::Param<'_>` is `In::Param<'_>`
itself. It could just as well be some other associated type which only
normalizes to `In::Param<'_>`. This will change with the next-generation
trait solver and was encountered by a crater run
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133502-
cc
https://github.com/rust-lang/trait-system-refactor-initiative/issues/168
I couldn't think of a cleaner alternative here. I first tried to just
provide `In` as an explicit type parameter. This is also kinda ugly as I
need to provide a variable number of them and `${ignore(..)}` is
currently still unstable https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83527.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Also fun that this function exists to avoid
a separate solver bug in the first place 😅
# Objective
- Piped systems are an edge case that we missed when reworking system
parameter validation.
- Fixes#18755.
## Solution
- Validate the parameters for both systems, ~~combining the errors if
both failed validation~~ by simply using an early out.
- ~~Also fix the same bug for combinator systems while we're here.~~
## Testing
I've added a large number of tests checking the behavior under various
permutations. These are separate tests, rather than one mega test
because a) it's easier to track down bugs that way and b) many of these
are `should_panic` tests, which will halt the evaluation of the rest of
the test!
I've also added a test for exclusive systems being pipeable because we
don't have one and I was very surprised that that works!

# Objective
Clarify information in the docs about the bundle removal commands.
## Solution
Added information about how the intersection of components are removed.
# Objective
- The `#[deprecated]` attributes supports a `since` field, which
documents in which version an item was deprecated. This field is visible
in `rustdoc`.
- We inconsistently use `since` throughout the project.
For an example of what `since` renders as, take a look at
`ChildOf::get()`:
```rust
/// The parent entity of this child entity.
#[deprecated(since = "0.16.0", note = "Use child_of.parent() instead")]
#[inline]
pub fn get(&self) -> Entity {
self.0
}
```
## Solution
- Add `since = "0.16.0"` to all `#[deprecated]` attributes that do not
already use it.
- Add an example of deprecating a struct with the `since` field in the
migration guide document.
I would appreciate if this could be included in 0.16's release, as its a
low-risk documentation improvement that is valuable for the release, but
I'd understand if this was cut.
## Testing
You can use `cargo doc` to inspect the rendered form of
`#[deprecated(since = "0.16.0", ...)]`.
# Objective
Newest installment of the #16547 series.
In #18319 we introduced `Entity` defaults to accomodate the most common
use case for these types, however that resulted in the switch of the `T`
and `N` generics of `UniqueEntityArray`.
Swapping generics might be somewhat acceptable for `UniqueEntityArray`,
it is not at all acceptable for map and set types, which we would make
generic over `T: EntityEquivalent` in #18408.
Leaving these defaults in place would result in a glaring inconsistency
between these set collections and the others.
Additionally, the current standard in the engine is for "entity" to mean
`Entity`. APIs could be changed to accept `EntityEquivalent`, however
that is a separate and contentious discussion.
## Solution
Name these set collections `UniqueEntityEquivalent*`, and retain the
`UniqueEntity*` name for an alias of the `Entity` case.
While more verbose, this allows for all generics to be in proper order,
full consistency between all set types*, and the "entity" name to be
restricted to `Entity`.
On top of that, `UniqueEntity*` now always have 1 generic less, when
previously this was not enforced for the default case.
*`UniqueEntityIter<I: Iterator<T: EntityEquivalent>>` is the sole
exception to this. Aliases are unable to enforce bounds
(`lazy_type_alias` is needed for this), so for this type, doing this
split would be a mere suggestion, and in no way enforced.
Iterator types are rarely ever named, and this specific one is intended
to be aliased when it sees more use, like we do for the corresponding
set collection iterators.
Furthermore, the `EntityEquivalent` precursor `Borrow<Entity>` was used
exactly because of such iterator bounds!
Because of that, we leave it as is.
While no migration guide for 0.15 users, for those that upgrade from
main:
`UniqueEntityVec<T>` -> `UniqueEntityEquivalentVec<T>`
`UniqueEntitySlice<T>` -> `UniqueEntityEquivalentSlice<T>`
`UniqueEntityArray<N, T>` -> `UniqueEntityEquivalentArray<T, N>`
# Objective
Improve the parameter validation error message for
`Event(Reader|Writer|Mutator)`.
System parameters defined using `#[derive(SystemParam)]`, including the
parameters for events, currently propagate the validation errors from
their subparameters. The error includes the type of the failing
parameter, so the resulting error includes the type of the failing
subparameter instead of the derived parameter.
In particular, `EventReader<T>` will report an error from a
`Res<Events<T>>`, even though the user has no parameter of that type!
This is a follow-up to #18593.
## Solution
Have `#[derive]`d system parameters map errors during propagation so
that they report the outer parameter type.
To continue to provide context, add a field to
`SystemParamValidationError` that identifies the subparameter by name,
and is empty for non-`#[derive]`d parameters.
Allow them to override the failure message for individual parameters.
Use this to convert "Resource does not exist" to "Event not initialized"
for `Event(Reader|Writer|Mutator)`.
## Showcase
The validation error for a `EventReader<SomeEvent>` parameter when
`add_event` has not been called changes from:
Before:
```
Parameter `Res<Events<SomeEvent>>` failed validation: Resource does not exist
```
After
```
Parameter `EventReader<SomeEvent>::events` failed validation: Event not initialized
```
# Objective
Provide more useful errors when `World::run_system` and related methods
fail parameter validation.
Let callers determine whether the validation failure would have skipped
or failed the system.
Follow-up to #18541.
## Solution
Add a `SystemParamValidationError` value to the
`RunSystemError::InvalidParams` and
`RegisteredSystemError::InvalidParams` variants. That includes the
complete context of the parameter validation error, including the
`skipped` flag.
