Split BufferedEvent from Event (#20101)
# Objective

> I think we should axe the shared `Event` trait entirely
It doesn't serve any functional purpose, and I don't think it's useful
pedagogically
@alice-i-cecile on discord

## Solution

- Remove `Event` as a supertrait of `BufferedEvent`
- Remove any `Event` derives that were made unnecessary
- Update release notes

Prevent TOCTOU bugs in ComponentsQueuedRegistrator (#20016)
# Objective

- Fix #20014

## Solution

- Don't make the `force_register_` family of functions always enqueue of
the component/resource; instead have them check again whether it was
already queued or not.

## Testing

- I added a small regression test but it's non-deterministic: if the bug
is fixed it will always pass, but if the bug is presen then it has a
(hopefully small) chance of passing. On my PC it failed after ~100
iterations, so hopefully 1000 is enough in CI (assuming it doesn't have
single core runners...)

Observer trigger refactor (#19935)
# Objective

- The usage of ComponentId is quite confusing: events are not
components. By newtyping this, we can prevent stupid mistakes, avoid
leaking internal details and make the code clearer for users and engine
devs reading it.

Rename num_entities to entity_count (#19781)
As discussed in

Add num_entities() to World (#19780)
# Objective

There is a lot of `world.entities().len()`, especially in tests. In
tests, usually, the assumption is made that empty worlds do not contain
any entities. This is about to change (#19711), and as such all of these
tests are failing for that PR.

## Solution

`num_entities` is a convenience method that returns the number of
entities inside a world. It can later be adapted to exclude 'unexpected'
entities, associated with internal data structures such as Resources,
Queries, Systems. In general I argue for a separation of concepts where
`World` ignores internal entities in methods such as `iter_entities()`
and `clear_entities()`, that discussion is, however, separate from this
PR.

## Testing

I replaced most occurrences of `world.entities().len()` with
`world.num_entities()` and the tests passed.

Event Split: Event, EntityEvent, and BufferedEvent (#19647)
# Objective

Closes #19564.

The current `Event` trait looks like this:

```rust
pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static {
    type Traversal: Traversal<Self>;
    const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false;
    
    fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... }
    fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... }
}
```

The `Event` trait is used by both buffered events
(`EventReader`/`EventWriter`) and observer events. If they are observer
events, they can optionally be targeted at specific `Entity`s or
`ComponentId`s, and can even be propagated to other entities.

However, there has long been a desire to split the trait semantically
for a variety of reasons, see #14843, #14272, and #16031 for discussion.
Some reasons include:

- It's very uncommon to use a single event type as both a buffered event
and targeted observer event. They are used differently and tend to have
distinct semantics.
- A common footgun is using buffered events with observers or event
readers with observer events, as there is no type-level error that
prevents this kind of misuse.
- #19440 made `Trigger::target` return an `Option<Entity>`. This
*seriously* hurts ergonomics for the general case of entity observers,
as you need to `.unwrap()` each time. If we could statically determine
whether the event is expected to have an entity target, this would be
unnecessary.

There's really two main ways that we can categorize events: push vs.
pull (i.e. "observer event" vs. "buffered event") and global vs.
targeted:

|              | Push            | Pull                        |
| ------------ | --------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Global**   | Global observer | `EventReader`/`EventWriter` |
| **Targeted** | Entity observer | -                           |

There are many ways to approach this, each with their tradeoffs.
Ultimately, we kind of want to split events both ways:

- A type-level distinction between observer events and buffered events,
to prevent people from using the wrong kind of event in APIs
- A statically designated entity target for observer events to avoid
accidentally using untargeted events for targeted APIs

This PR achieves these goals by splitting event traits into `Event`,
`EntityEvent`, and `BufferedEvent`, with `Event` being the shared trait
implemented by all events.

## `Event`, `EntityEvent`, and `BufferedEvent`

`Event` is now a very simple trait shared by all events.

```rust
pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static {
    // Required for observer APIs
    fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... }
    fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... }
}
```

You can call `trigger` for *any* event, and use a global observer for
listening to the event.

```rust
#[derive(Event)]
struct Speak {
    message: String,
}

// ...

app.add_observer(|trigger: On<Speak>| {
    println!("{}", trigger.message);
});

// ...

commands.trigger(Speak {
    message: "Y'all like these reworked events?".to_string(),
});
```

To allow an event to be targeted at entities and even propagated
further, you can additionally implement the `EntityEvent` trait:

```rust
pub trait EntityEvent: Event {
    type Traversal: Traversal<Self>;
    const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false;
}
```

This lets you call `trigger_targets`, and to use targeted observer APIs
like `EntityCommands::observe`:

```rust
#[derive(Event, EntityEvent)]
#[entity_event(traversal = &'static ChildOf, auto_propagate)]
struct Damage {
    amount: f32,
}

// ...

let enemy = commands.spawn((Enemy, Health(100.0))).id();

// Spawn some armor as a child of the enemy entity.
// When the armor takes damage, it will bubble the event up to the enemy.
let armor_piece = commands
    .spawn((ArmorPiece, Health(25.0), ChildOf(enemy)))
    .observe(|trigger: On<Damage>, mut query: Query<&mut Health>| {
        // Note: `On::target` only exists because this is an `EntityEvent`.
        let mut health = query.get(trigger.target()).unwrap();
        health.0 -= trigger.amount();
    });

commands.trigger_targets(Damage { amount: 10.0 }, armor_piece);
```

> [!NOTE]
> You *can* still also trigger an `EntityEvent` without targets using
`trigger`. We probably *could* make this an either-or thing, but I'm not
sure that's actually desirable.

To allow an event to be used with the buffered API, you can implement
`BufferedEvent`:

```rust
pub trait BufferedEvent: Event {}
```

The event can then be used with `EventReader`/`EventWriter`:

```rust
#[derive(Event, BufferedEvent)]
struct Message(String);

fn write_hello(mut writer: EventWriter<Message>) {
    writer.write(Message("I hope these examples are alright".to_string()));
}

fn read_messages(mut reader: EventReader<Message>) {
    // Process all buffered events of type `Message`.
    for Message(message) in reader.read() {
        println!("{message}");
    }
}
```

In summary:

- Need a basic event you can trigger and observe? Derive `Event`!
- Need the event to be targeted at an entity? Derive `EntityEvent`!
- Need the event to be buffered and support the
`EventReader`/`EventWriter` API? Derive `BufferedEvent`!

## Alternatives

I'll now cover some of the alternative approaches I have considered and
briefly explored. I made this section collapsible since it ended up
being quite long :P

<details>

<summary>Expand this to see alternatives</summary>

### 1. Unified `Event` Trait

One option is not to have *three* separate traits (`Event`,
`EntityEvent`, `BufferedEvent`), and to instead just use associated
constants on `Event` to determine whether an event supports targeting
and buffering or not:

```rust
pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static {
    type Traversal: Traversal<Self>;
    const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false;
    const TARGETED: bool = false;
    const BUFFERED: bool = false;
    
    fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... }
    fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... }
}
```

Methods can then use bounds like `where E: Event<TARGETED = true>` or
`where E: Event<BUFFERED = true>` to limit APIs to specific kinds of
events.

This would keep everything under one `Event` trait, but I don't think
it's necessarily a good idea. It makes APIs harder to read, and docs
can't easily refer to specific types of events. You can also create
weird invariants: what if you specify `TARGETED = false`, but have
`Traversal` and/or `AUTO_PROPAGATE` enabled?

### 2. `Event` and `Trigger`

Another option is to only split the traits between buffered events and
observer events, since that is the main thing people have been asking
for, and they have the largest API difference.

If we did this, I think we would need to make the terms *clearly*
separate. We can't really use `Event` and `BufferedEvent` as the names,
since it would be strange that `BufferedEvent` doesn't implement
`Event`. Something like `ObserverEvent` and `BufferedEvent` could work,
but it'd be more verbose.

For this approach, I would instead keep `Event` for the current
`EventReader`/`EventWriter` API, and call the observer event a
`Trigger`, since the "trigger" terminology is already used in the
observer context within Bevy (both as a noun and a verb). This is also
what a long [bikeshed on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749335865876021248/1298057661878898791)
seemed to land on at the end of last year.

```rust
// For `EventReader`/`EventWriter`
pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static {}

// For observers
pub trait Trigger: Send + Sync + 'static {
    type Traversal: Traversal<Self>;
    const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false;
    const TARGETED: bool = false;
    
    fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... }
    fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... }
}
```

The problem is that "event" is just a really good term for something
that "happens". Observers are rapidly becoming the more prominent API,
so it'd be weird to give them the `Trigger` name and leave the good
`Event` name for the less common API.

So, even though a split like this seems neat on the surface, I think it
ultimately wouldn't really work. We want to keep the `Event` name for
observer events, and there is no good alternative for the buffered
variant. (`Message` was suggested, but saying stuff like "sends a
collision message" is weird.)

### 3. `GlobalEvent` + `TargetedEvent`

What if instead of focusing on the buffered vs. observed split, we
*only* make a distinction between global and targeted events?

```rust
// A shared event trait to allow global observers to work
pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static {
    fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... }
    fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... }
}

// For buffered events and non-targeted observer events
pub trait GlobalEvent: Event {}

// For targeted observer events
pub trait TargetedEvent: Event {
    type Traversal: Traversal<Self>;
    const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false;
}
```

This is actually the first approach I implemented, and it has the neat
characteristic that you can only use non-targeted APIs like `trigger`
with a `GlobalEvent` and targeted APIs like `trigger_targets` with a
`TargetedEvent`. You have full control over whether the entity should or
should not have a target, as they are fully distinct at the type-level.

However, there's a few problems:

- There is no type-level indication of whether a `GlobalEvent` supports
buffered events or just non-targeted observer events
- An `Event` on its own does literally nothing, it's just a shared trait
required to make global observers accept both non-targeted and targeted
events
- If an event is both a `GlobalEvent` and `TargetedEvent`, global
observers again have ambiguity on whether an event has a target or not,
undermining some of the benefits
- The names are not ideal

### 4. `Event` and `EntityEvent`

We can fix some of the problems of Alternative 3 by accepting that
targeted events can also be used in non-targeted contexts, and simply
having the `Event` and `EntityEvent` traits:

```rust
// For buffered events and non-targeted observer events
pub trait Event: Send + Sync + 'static {
    fn register_component_id(world: &mut World) -> ComponentId { ... }
    fn component_id(world: &World) -> Option<ComponentId> { ... }
}

// For targeted observer events
pub trait EntityEvent: Event {
    type Traversal: Traversal<Self>;
    const AUTO_PROPAGATE: bool = false;
}
```

This is essentially identical to this PR, just without a dedicated
`BufferedEvent`. The remaining major "problem" is that there is still
zero type-level indication of whether an `Event` event *actually*
supports the buffered API. This leads us to the solution proposed in
this PR, using `Event`, `EntityEvent`, and `BufferedEvent`.

</details>

## Conclusion

The `Event` + `EntityEvent` + `BufferedEvent` split proposed in this PR
aims to solve all the common problems with Bevy's current event model
while keeping the "weirdness" factor minimal. It splits in terms of both
the push vs. pull *and* global vs. targeted aspects, while maintaining a
shared concept for an "event".

### Why I Like This

- The term "event" remains as a single concept for all the different
kinds of events in Bevy.
- Despite all event types being "events", they use fundamentally
different APIs. Instead of assuming that you can use an event type with
any pattern (when only one is typically supported), you explicitly opt
in to each one with dedicated traits.
- Using separate traits for each type of event helps with documentation
and clearer function signatures.
- I can safely make assumptions on expected usage.
- If I see that an event is an `EntityEvent`, I can assume that I can
use `observe` on it and get targeted events.
- If I see that an event is a `BufferedEvent`, I can assume that I can
use `EventReader` to read events.
- If I see both `EntityEvent` and `BufferedEvent`, I can assume that
both APIs are supported.

In summary: This allows for a unified concept for events, while limiting
the different ways to use them with opt-in traits. No more guess-work
involved when using APIs.

### Problems?

- Because `BufferedEvent` implements `Event` (for more consistent
semantics etc.), you can still use all buffered events for non-targeted
observers. I think this is fine/good. The important part is that if you
see that an event implements `BufferedEvent`, you know that the
`EventReader`/`EventWriter` API should be supported. Whether it *also*
supports other APIs is secondary.
- I currently only support `trigger_targets` for an `EntityEvent`.
However, you can technically target components too, without targeting
any entities. I consider that such a niche and advanced use case that
it's not a huge problem to only support it for `EntityEvent`s, but we
could also split `trigger_targets` into `trigger_entities` and
`trigger_components` if we wanted to (or implement components as
entities :P).
- You can still trigger an `EntityEvent` *without* targets. I consider
this correct, since `Event` implements the non-targeted behavior, and
it'd be weird if implementing another trait *removed* behavior. However,
it does mean that global observers for entity events can technically
return `Entity::PLACEHOLDER` again (since I got rid of the
`Option<Entity>` added in #19440 for ergonomics). I think that's enough
of an edge case that it's not a huge problem, but it is worth keeping in
mind.
- ~~Deriving both `EntityEvent` and `BufferedEvent` for the same type
currently duplicates the `Event` implementation, so you instead need to
manually implement one of them.~~ Changed to always requiring `Event` to
be derived.

## Related Work

There are plans to implement multi-event support for observers,
especially for UI contexts. [Cart's
example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/14649#issuecomment-2960402508)
API looked like this:

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

I believe this shouldn't be in conflict with this PR. If anything, this
PR might *help* achieve the multi-event pattern for entity observers
with fewer footguns: by statically enforcing that all of these events
are `EntityEvent`s in the context of `EntityCommands::observe`, we can
avoid misuse or weird cases where *some* events inside the trigger are
targeted while others are not.

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.

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.

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`.

Fixes #19120 

## Solution
Use the find and replace token feature in VSCode to replace 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

Make entity generation a new type and remove identifier (#19121)
# Objective

This is a followup to #18704 . There's lots more followup work, but this
is the minimum to unblock #18670, etc.

This direction has been given the green light by Alice
[here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18704#issuecomment-2853368129).

## Solution

I could have split this over multiple PRs, but I figured skipping
straight here would be easiest for everyone and would unblock things the
quickest.

This removes the now no longer needed `identifier` module and makes
`Entity::generation` go from `NonZeroU32` to `struct
EntityGeneration(u32)`.

## Testing

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.

## 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!

Remove insert_or_spawn function family (#18148)
# 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.

Create a When system param wrapper for skipping systems that fail validation (#18765)
# 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.~~

Use never_say_never hack to work around Rust 2024 regression for fn traits (#18804)
# 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).

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`.

Rename EntityBorrow/TrustedEntityBorrow to ContainsEntity/EntityEquivalent (#18470)
# Objective

Fixes #9367.

Yet another follow-up to #16547.

These traits were initially based on `Borrow<Entity>` because that trait
was what they were replacing, and it felt close enough in meaning.
However, they ultimately don't quite match: `borrow` always returns
references, whereas `EntityBorrow` always returns a plain `Entity`.
Additionally, `EntityBorrow` can imply that we are borrowing an `Entity`
from the ECS, which is not what it does.

Due to its safety contract, `TrustedEntityBorrow` is important an
important and widely used trait for `EntitySet` functionality.
In contrast, the safe `EntityBorrow` does not see much use, because even
outside of `EntitySet`-related functionality, it is a better idea to
accept `TrustedEntityBorrow` over `EntityBorrow`.

Furthermore, as #9367 points out, abstracting over returning `Entity`
from pointers/structs that contain it can skip some ergonomic friction.

On top of that, there are aspects of #18319 and #18408 that are relevant
to naming:
We've run into the issue that relying on a type default can switch
generic order. This is livable in some contexts, but unacceptable in
others.

To remedy that, we'd need to switch to a type alias approach: 
The "defaulted" `Entity` case becomes a
`UniqueEntity*`/`Entity*Map`/`Entity*Set` alias, and the base type
receives a more general name. `TrustedEntityBorrow` does not mesh
clearly with sensible base type names.

## Solution
Replace any `EntityBorrow` bounds with `TrustedEntityBorrow`.
+
Rename them as such:
`EntityBorrow` -> `ContainsEntity`
`TrustedEntityBorrow` -> `EntityEquivalent`

For `EntityBorrow` we produce a change in meaning; We designate it for
types that aren't necessarily strict wrappers around `Entity` or some
pointer to `Entity`, but rather any of the myriad of types that contain
a single associated `Entity`.
This pattern can already be seen in the common `entity`/`id` methods
across the engine.
We do not mean for `ContainsEntity` to be a trait that abstracts input
API (like how `AsRef<T>` is often used, f.e.), because eliding
`entity()` would be too implicit in the general case.

We prefix "Contains" to match the intuition of a struct with an `Entity`
field, like some contain a `length` or `capacity`.
It gives the impression of structure, which avoids the implication of a
relationship to the `ECS`.
`HasEntity` f.e. could be interpreted as "a currently live entity", 

As an input trait for APIs like #9367 envisioned, `TrustedEntityBorrow`
is a better fit, because it *does* restrict itself to strict wrappers
and pointers. Which is why we replace any
`EntityBorrow`/`ContainsEntity` bounds with
`TrustedEntityBorrow`/`EntityEquivalent`.

Here, the name `EntityEquivalent` is a lot closer to its actual meaning,
which is "A type that is both equivalent to an `Entity`, and forms the
same total order when compared".
Prior art for this is the
[`Equivalent`](https://docs.rs/hashbrown/latest/hashbrown/trait.Equivalent.html)
trait in `hashbrown`, which utilizes both `Borrow` and `Eq` for its one
blanket impl!

Given that we lose the `Borrow` moniker, and `Equivalent` can carry
various meanings, we expand on the safety comment of `EntityEquivalent`
somewhat. That should help prevent the confusion we saw in
[#18408](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/18408#issuecomment-2742094176).

The new name meshes a lot better with the type aliasing approach in
#18408, by aligning with the base name `EntityEquivalentHashMap`.
For a consistent scheme among all set types, we can use this scheme for
the `UniqueEntity*` wrapper types as well!
This allows us to undo the switched generic order that was introduced to
`UniqueEntityArray` by its `Entity` default.

Even without the type aliases, I think these renames are worth doing!

## Migration Guide

Any use of `EntityBorrow` becomes `ContainsEntity`.
Any use of `TrustedEntityBorrow` becomes `EntityEquivalent`.

Improved Require Syntax (#18555)
# Objective

Requires are currently more verbose than they need to be. People would
like to define inline component values. Additionally, the current
`#[require(Foo(custom_constructor))]` and `#[require(Foo(|| Foo(10))]`
syntax doesn't really make sense within the context of the Rust type
system. #18309 was an attempt to improve ergonomics for some cases, but
it came at the cost of even more weirdness / unintuitive behavior. Our
approach as a whole needs a rethink.

## Solution

Rework the `#[require()]` syntax to make more sense. This is a breaking
change, but I think it will make the system easier to learn, while also
improving ergonomics substantially:

```rust
#[derive(Component)]
#[require(
    A, // this will use A::default()
    B(1), // inline tuple-struct value
    C { value: 1 }, // inline named-struct value
    D::Variant, // inline enum variant
    E::SOME_CONST, // inline associated const
    F::new(1), // inline constructor
    G = returns_g(), // an expression that returns G
    H = SomethingElse::new(), // expression returns SomethingElse, where SomethingElse: Into<H> 
)]
struct Foo;
```

## Migration Guide

Custom-constructor requires should use the new expression-style syntax:

```rust
// before
#[derive(Component)]
#[require(A(returns_a))]
struct Foo;

// after
#[derive(Component)]
#[require(A = returns_a())]
struct Foo;
```

Inline-closure-constructor requires should use the inline value syntax
where possible:

```rust
// before
#[derive(Component)]
#[require(A(|| A(10))]
struct Foo;

// after
#[derive(Component)]
#[require(A(10)]
struct Foo;
```

In cases where that is not possible, use the expression-style syntax:

```rust
// before
#[derive(Component)]
#[require(A(|| A(10))]
struct Foo;

// after
#[derive(Component)]
#[require(A = A(10)]
struct Foo;
```

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.

Create new NonSendMarker (#18301)
# Objective

Create new `NonSendMarker` that does not depend on `NonSend`.

Required, in order to accomplish #17682. In that issue, we are trying to
replace `!Send` resources with `thread_local!` in order to unblock the
resources-as-components effort. However, when we remove all the `!Send`
resources from a system, that allows the system to run on a thread other
than the main thread, which is against the design of the system. So this
marker gives us the control to require a system to run on the main
thread without depending on `!Send` resources.

## Solution

Create a new `NonSendMarker` to replace the existing one that does not
depend on `NonSend`.

## Testing

Other than running tests, I ran a few examples:
- `window_resizing`
- `wireframe`
- `volumetric_fog` (looks so cool)
- `rotation`
- `button`

There is a Mac/iOS-specific change and I do not have a Mac or iOS device
to test it. I am doubtful that it would cause any problems for 2
reasons:
1. The change is the same as the non-wasm change which I did test
2. The Pixel Eagle tests run Mac tests

But it wouldn't hurt if someone wanted to spin up an example that
utilizes the `bevy_render` crate, which is where the Mac/iSO change was.

## Migration Guide

If `NonSendMarker` is being used from `bevy_app::prelude::*`, replace it
with `bevy_ecs::system::NonSendMarker` or use it from
`bevy_ecs::prelude::*`. In addition to that, `NonSendMarker` does not
need to be wrapped like so:
```rust
fn my_system(_non_send_marker: Option<NonSend<NonSendMarker>>) {
    ...
}
```

Instead, it can be used without any wrappers:
```rust
fn my_system(_non_send_marker: NonSendMarker) {
    ...
}
```

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,
}

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.

Use register_dynamic for merging (#18028)
# Objective

I found a bug while working on #17871. When required components are
registered, ones that are more specific (smaller inheritance depth) are
preferred to others. So, if a ComponentA is already required, but it is
registered as required again, it will be updated if and only if the new
requirement has a smaller inheritance depth (is more specific). However,
this logic was not reflected in merging `RequriedComponents`s together.
Hence, for complicated requirement trees, the wrong initializer could be
used.

## Solution

Re-write merging to work by extending the collection via
`require_dynamic` instead of blindly combining the inner storage.

## Testing

I created this test to ensure this bug doesn't creep back in. This test
fails on main, but passes on this branch.

```rs
    #[test]
    fn required_components_inheritance_depth_bias() {
        #[derive(Component, PartialEq, Eq, Clone, Copy, Debug)]
        struct MyRequired(bool);

        #[derive(Component, Default)]
        #[require(MyRequired(|| MyRequired(false)))]
        struct MiddleMan;

        #[derive(Component, Default)]
        #[require(MiddleMan)]
        struct ConflictingRequire;

        #[derive(Component, Default)]
        #[require(MyRequired(|| MyRequired(true)))]
        struct MyComponent;

        let mut world = World::new();
        let order_a = world
            .spawn((ConflictingRequire, MyComponent))
            .get::<MyRequired>()
            .cloned();
        let order_b = world
            .spawn((MyComponent, ConflictingRequire))
            .get::<MyRequired>()
            .cloned();

        assert_eq!(order_a, Some(MyRequired(true)));
        assert_eq!(order_b, Some(MyRequired(true)));
    }
```
Note that when the inheritance depth is 0 (Like if there were no middle
man above), the order of the components in the bundle still matters.

## Migration Guide

`RequiredComponents::register_dynamic` has been changed to
`RequiredComponents::register_dynamic_with`.

Old:
```rust
required_components.register_dynamic(
      component_id,
      component_constructor.clone(),
      requirement_inheritance_depth,
);
```

New:
```rust
required_components.register_dynamic_with(
      component_id,
      requirement_inheritance_depth,
      || component_constructor.clone(),
);
```

This can prevent unnecessary cloning.

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.

Deprecate insert_or_spawn function family (#18147)
# Objective

Based on #18054, this PR builds on #18035 to deprecate:

- `Commands::insert_or_spawn_batch`
- `Entities::alloc_at_without_replacement`
- `Entities::alloc_at`
- `World::insert_or_spawn_batch`
- `World::insert_or_spawn_batch_with_caller`

## Testing

Just deprecation, so no new tests. Note that as of writing #18035 is
still under testing and review.

## Open Questions

- [x] Should `entity::AllocAtWithoutReplacement` be deprecated? It is
internal and only used in `Entities::alloc_at_without_replacement`.
**EDIT:** Now deprecated.

## Migration Guide

The following functions have been deprecated:

- `Commands::insert_or_spawn_batch`
- `World::insert_or_spawn_batch`
- `World::insert_or_spawn_batch_with_caller`

These functions, when used incorrectly, can cause major performance
problems and are generally viewed as anti-patterns and foot guns. These
are planned to be removed altogether in 0.17.

Instead of these functions consider doing one of the following:

Option A) Instead of despawing entities and re-spawning them at a
particular id, insert the new `Disabled` component without despawning
the entity, and use `try_insert_batch` or `insert_batch` and remove
`Disabled` instead of re-spawning it.

Option B) Instead of giving special meaning to an entity id, simply use
`spawn_batch` and ensure entity references are valid when despawning.

Fix Component require() IDE integration (#18165)
# Objective

Component `require()` IDE integration is fully broken, as of #16575.

## Solution

This reverts us back to the previous "put the docs on Component trait"
impl. This _does_ reduce the accessibility of the required components in
rust docs, but the complete erasure of "required component IDE
experience" is not worth the price of slightly increased prominence of
requires in docs.

Additionally, Rust Analyzer has recently started including derive
attributes in suggestions, so we aren't losing that benefit of the
proc_macro attribute impl.

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.

Improved Spawn APIs and Bundle Effects (#17521)
## Objective

A major critique of Bevy at the moment is how boilerplatey it is to
compose (and read) entity hierarchies:

```rust
commands
    .spawn(Foo)
    .with_children(|p| {
        p.spawn(Bar).with_children(|p| {
            p.spawn(Baz);
        });
        p.spawn(Bar).with_children(|p| {
            p.spawn(Baz);
        });
    });
```

There is also currently no good way to statically define and return an
entity hierarchy from a function. Instead, people often do this
"internally" with a Commands function that returns nothing, making it
impossible to spawn the hierarchy in other cases (direct World spawns,
ChildSpawner, etc).

Additionally, because this style of API results in creating the
hierarchy bits _after_ the initial spawn of a bundle, it causes ECS
archetype changes (and often expensive table moves).

Because children are initialized after the fact, we also can't count
them to pre-allocate space. This means each time a child inserts itself,
it has a high chance of overflowing the currently allocated capacity in
the `RelationshipTarget` collection, causing literal worst-case
reallocations.

We can do better!

## Solution

The Bundle trait has been extended to support an optional
`BundleEffect`. This is applied directly to World immediately _after_
the Bundle has fully inserted. Note that this is
[intentionally](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
_not done via a deferred Command_, which would require repeatedly
copying each remaining subtree of the hierarchy to a new command as we
walk down the tree (_not_ good performance).

This allows us to implement the new `SpawnRelated` trait for all
`RelationshipTarget` impls, which looks like this in practice:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Children::spawn((
        Spawn((
            Bar,
            Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz)),
        )),
        Spawn((
            Bar,
            Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz)),
        )),
    ))
))
```

`Children::spawn` returns `SpawnRelatedBundle<Children, L:
SpawnableList>`, which is a `Bundle` that inserts `Children`
(preallocated to the size of the `SpawnableList::size_hint()`).
`Spawn<B: Bundle>(pub B)` implements `SpawnableList` with a size of 1.
`SpawnableList` is also implemented for tuples of `SpawnableList` (same
general pattern as the Bundle impl).

There are currently three built-in `SpawnableList` implementations:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Children::spawn((
        Spawn(Name::new("Child1")),   
        SpawnIter(["Child2", "Child3"].into_iter().map(Name::new),
        SpawnWith(|parent: &mut ChildSpawner| {
            parent.spawn(Name::new("Child4"));
            parent.spawn(Name::new("Child5"));
        })
    )),
))
```

We get the benefits of "structured init", but we have nice flexibility
where it is required!

Some readers' first instinct might be to try to remove the need for the
`Spawn` wrapper. This is impossible in the Rust type system, as a tuple
of "child Bundles to be spawned" and a "tuple of Components to be added
via a single Bundle" is ambiguous in the Rust type system. There are two
ways to resolve that ambiguity:

1. By adding support for variadics to the Rust type system (removing the
need for nested bundles). This is out of scope for this PR :)
2. Using wrapper types to resolve the ambiguity (this is what I did in
this PR).

For the single-entity spawn cases, `Children::spawn_one` does also
exist, which removes the need for the wrapper:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Children::spawn_one(Bar),
))
```

## This works for all Relationships

This API isn't just for `Children` / `ChildOf` relationships. It works
for any relationship type, and they can be mixed and matched!

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    Observers::spawn((
        Spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<FuseLit>| {})),
        Spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Exploded>| {})),
    )),
    OwnerOf::spawn(Spawn(Bar))
    Children::spawn(Spawn(Baz))
))
```

## Macros

While `Spawn` is necessary to satisfy the type system, we _can_ remove
the need to express it via macros. The example above can be expressed
more succinctly using the new `children![X]` macro, which internally
produces `Children::spawn(Spawn(X))`:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    children![
        (
            Bar,
            children![Baz],
        ),
        (
            Bar,
            children![Baz],
        ),
    ]
))
```

There is also a `related!` macro, which is a generic version of the
`children!` macro that supports any relationship type:

```rust
world.spawn((
    Foo,
    related!(Children[
        (
            Bar,
            related!(Children[Baz]),
        ),
        (
            Bar,
            related!(Children[Baz]),
        ),
    ])
))
```

## Returning Hierarchies from Functions

Thanks to these changes, the following pattern is now possible:

```rust
fn button(text: &str, color: Color) -> impl Bundle {
    (
        Node {
            width: Val::Px(300.),
            height: Val::Px(100.),
            ..default()
        },
        BackgroundColor(color),
        children![
            Text::new(text),
        ]
    )
}

fn ui() -> impl Bundle {
    (
        Node {
            width: Val::Percent(100.0),
            height: Val::Percent(100.0),
            ..default(),
        },
        children![
            button("hello", BLUE),
            button("world", RED),
        ]
    )
}

// spawn from a system
fn system(mut commands: Commands) {
    commands.spawn(ui());
}

// spawn directly on World
world.spawn(ui());
```

## Additional Changes and Notes

* `Bundle::from_components` has been split out into
`BundleFromComponents::from_components`, enabling us to implement
`Bundle` for types that cannot be "taken" from the ECS (such as the new
`SpawnRelatedBundle`).
* The `NoBundleEffect` trait (which implements `BundleEffect`) is
implemented for empty tuples (and tuples of empty tuples), which allows
us to constrain APIs to only accept bundles that do not have effects.
This is critical because the current batch spawn APIs cannot efficiently
apply BundleEffects in their current form (as doing so in-place could
invalidate the cached raw pointers). We could consider allocating a
buffer of the effects to be applied later, but that does have
performance implications that could offset the balance and value of the
batched APIs (and would likely require some refactors to the underlying
code). I've decided to be conservative here. We can consider relaxing
that requirement on those APIs later, but that should be done in a
followup imo.
* I've ported a few examples to illustrate real-world usage. I think in
a followup we should port all examples to the `children!` form whenever
possible (and for cases that require things like SpawnIter, use the raw
APIs).
* Some may ask "why not use the `Relationship` to spawn (ex:
`ChildOf::spawn(Foo)`) instead of the `RelationshipTarget` (ex:
`Children::spawn(Spawn(Foo))`)?". That _would_ allow us to remove the
`Spawn` wrapper. I've explicitly chosen to disallow this pattern.
`Bundle::Effect` has the ability to create _significant_ weirdness.
Things in `Bundle` position look like components. For example
`world.spawn((Foo, ChildOf::spawn(Bar)))` _looks and reads_ like Foo is
a child of Bar. `ChildOf` is in Foo's "component position" but it is not
a component on Foo. This is a huge problem. Now that `Bundle::Effect`
exists, we should be _very_ principled about keeping the "weird and
unintuitive behavior" to a minimum. Things that read like components
_should be the components they appear to be".

## Remaining Work

* The macros are currently trivially implemented using macro_rules and
are currently limited to the max tuple length. They will require a
proc_macro implementation to work around the tuple length limit.

## Next Steps

* Port the remaining examples to use `children!` where possible and raw
`Spawn` / `SpawnIter` / `SpawnWith` where the flexibility of the raw API
is required.

## Migration Guide

Existing spawn patterns will continue to work as expected.

Manual Bundle implementations now require a `BundleEffect` associated
type. Exisiting bundles would have no bundle effect, so use `()`.
Additionally `Bundle::from_components` has been moved to the new
`BundleFromComponents` trait.

```rust
// Before
unsafe impl Bundle for X {
    unsafe fn from_components<T, F>(ctx: &mut T, func: &mut F) -> Self {
    }
    /* remaining bundle impl here */
}

// After
unsafe impl Bundle for X {
    type Effect = ();
    /* remaining bundle impl here */
}

unsafe impl BundleFromComponents for X {
    unsafe fn from_components<T, F>(ctx: &mut T, func: &mut F) -> Self {
    }
}
```

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.

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

Change World::try_despawn and World::try_insert_batch to return Result (#17376)
## Objective

Most `try` methods on `World` return a `Result`, but `try_despawn` and
`try_insert_batch` don't. Since Bevy's error handling is advancing,
these should be brought in line.

## Solution

- Added `TryDespawnError` and `TryInsertBatchError`.
- `try_despawn`, `try_insert_batch`, and `try_insert_batch_if_new` now
return their respective errors.
- Fixed slightly incorrect behavior in `try_insert_batch_with_caller`.
- The method was always meant to continue with the rest of the batch if
an entity was missing, but that only worked after the first entity; if
the first entity was missing, the method would exit early. This has been
resolved.

## Migration Guide
- `World::try_despawn` now returns a `Result` rather than a `bool`.
- `World::try_insert_batch` and `World::try_insert_batch_if_new` now
return a `Result` where they previously returned nothing.

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!

`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`.

Add DefaultQueryFilters (#13120)
# Objective

Some usecases in the ecosystems are blocked by the inability to stop
bevy internals and third party plugins from touching their entities.
However the specifics of a general purpose entity disabling system are
controversial and further complicated by hierarchies. We can partially
unblock these usecases with an opt-in approach: default query filters.

## Solution

- Introduce DefaultQueryFilters, these filters are automatically applied
to queries that don't otherwise mention the filtered component.
- End users and third party plugins can register default filters and are
responsible for handling entities they have hidden this way.
- Extra features can be left for after user feedback
- The default value could later include official ways to hide entities

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.
