allow EntityCloner to move components without Clone or Reflect (#20065)
# Objective
Fix #18079 

## Solution
- `EntityCloner` can now move components that don't have `Clone` or
`Reflect` implementation.
- Components with `ComponentCloneBehavior::Ignore` will not be moved.
- Components with `ComponentCloneBehavior::Custom` will be cloned using
their defined `ComponentCloneFn` and then removed from the source entity
to respect their `queue_deferred` logic.
- Relationships still need to be `Clone` or `Reflect` to be movable.
- Custom relationship data is now correctly preserved when cloned or
moved using `EntityCloner`.

## Testing
- Added new tests for moving components

Rename send_event and similar methods to write_event (#20017)
Fixes: #18963
Follows up on: #17977
Adopts: #18966

In 0.16, `EventWriter::send` was renamed to `EventWriter::write`, but
many methods were missed (sorry about that). This completes that
refactor by renaming all `send` methods and internals.

| Old | New |

|-------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| `World::send_event` | `World::write_event` |
| `World::send_event_default` | `World::write_event_default` |
| `World::send_event_batch` | `World::write_event_batch` |
| `DeferredWorld::send_event` | `DeferredWorld::write_event` |
| `DeferredWorld::send_event_default` |
`DeferredWorld::write_event_default` |
| `DeferredWorld::send_event_batch` | `DeferredWorld::write_event_batch`
|
| `Commands::send_event` | `Commmands::write_event` |
| `Events::send` | `Events::write` |
| `Events::send_default` | `Events::write_default` |

Avoid early function invocation in EntityEntryCommands (#19978)
## Objective

Fixes #19884.

## Solution

- Add an internal entity command `insert_with`, which takes a function
returning a component and checks if the component would actually be
inserted before invoking the function.
- Add the same check to `insert_from_world`, since it's a similar
situation.
- Update the `or_insert_with`, `or_try_insert_with`, and `or_default`
methods on `EntityEntryCommands` to use the new command.

Since the function/closure returning the component now needs to be sent
into the command (rather than being invoked before the command is
created), the function now has `Send + 'static` bounds. Pretty typical
for command stuff, but I don't know how/if it'll affect existing users.

Have System::run_unsafe return Result. (#19145)
# Objective

Allow combinator and pipe systems to delay validation of the second
system, while still allowing the second system to be skipped.

Fixes #18796

Allow fallible systems to be used as one-shot systems, reporting errors
to the error handler when used through commands.

Fixes #19722

Allow fallible systems to be used as run conditions, including when used
with combinators. Alternative to #19580.

Always validate parameters when calling the safe
`run_without_applying_deferred`, `run`, and `run_readonly` methods on a
`System`.

## Solution

Have `System::run_unsafe` return a `Result`.  

We want pipe systems to run the first system before validating the
second, since the first system may affect whether the second system has
valid parameters. But if the second system skips then we have no output
value to return! So, pipe systems must return a `Result` that indicates
whether the second system ran.

But if we just make pipe systems have `Out = Result<B::Out>`, then
chaining `a.pipe(b).pipe(c)` becomes difficult. `c` would need to accept
the `Result` from `a.pipe(b)`, which means it would likely need to
return `Result` itself, giving `Result<Result<Out>>`!

Instead, we make *all* systems return a `Result`! We move the handling
of fallible systems from `IntoScheduleConfigs` and `IntoObserverSystem`
to `SystemParamFunction` and `ExclusiveSystemParamFunction`, so that an
infallible system can be wrapped before being passed to a combinator.

As a side effect, this enables fallible systems to be used as run
conditions and one-shot systems.

Now that the safe `run_without_applying_deferred`, `run`, and
`run_readonly` methods return a `Result`, we can have them perform
parameter validation themselves instead of requiring each caller to
remember to call them. `run_unsafe` will continue to not validate
parameters, since it is used in the multi-threaded executor when we want
to validate and run in separate tasks.

Note that this makes type inference a little more brittle. A function
that returns `Result<T>` can be considered either a fallible system
returning `T` or an infallible system returning `Result<T>` (and this is
important to continue supporting `pipe`-based error handling)! So there
are some cases where the output type of a system can no longer be
inferred. It will work fine when directly adding to a schedule, since
then the output type is fixed to `()` (or `bool` for run conditions).
And it will work fine when `pipe`ing to a system with a typed input
parameter.

I used a dedicated `RunSystemError` for the error type instead of plain
`BevyError` so that skipping a system does not box an error or capture a
backtrace.

Don't create errors for ignored failed commands (#19718)
# Objective

1. Reduce overhead from error handling for ECS commands that
intentionally ignore errors, such as `try_despawn`. These commands
currently allocate error objects and pass them to a no-op handler
(`ignore`), which can impact performance when many operations fail.

2. Fix a hang when removing `ChildOf` components during entity
despawning. Excessive logging of these failures can cause significant
hangs (I'm noticing around 100ms).
    - Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/19777
    - Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/19753

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5c67ab77-97bb-46e5-b287-2c502bef9358"
/>


## Solution

* Added a `ignore_error` method to the `HandleError` trait to use
instead of `handle_error_with(ignore)`. It swallows errors and does not
create error objects.
* Replaced `remove::<ChildOf>` with `try_remove::<ChildOf>` to suppress
expected (?) errors and reduce log noise.

## Testing

- I ran these changes on a local project.

Split EntityClonerBuilder in OptOut and OptIn variants (#19649)
# Objective

Further tests after #19326 showed that configuring `EntityCloner` with
required components is bug prone and the current design has several
weaknesses in it's API:

- Mixing `EntityClonerBuilder::allow` and `EntityClonerBuilder::deny`
requires extra care how to support that which has an impact on
surrounding code that has to keep edge cases in mind. This is especially
true for attempts to fix the following issues. There is no use-case
known (to me) why someone would mix those.
- A builder with `EntityClonerBuilder::allow_all` configuration tries to
support required components like `EntityClonerBuilder::deny_all` does,
but the meaning of that is conflicting with how you'd expect things to
work:
- If all components should be cloned except component `A`, do you also
want to exclude required components of `A` too? Or are these also valid
without `A` at the target entity?
- If `EntityClonerBuilder::allow_all` should ignore required components
and not add them to be filtered away, which purpose has
`EntityClonerBuilder::without_required_components` for this cloner?
- Other bugs found with the linked PR are:
- Denying `A` also denies required components of `A` even when `A` does
not exist at the source entity
- Allowing `A` also allows required components of `A` even when `A` does
not exist at the source entity
- Adding `allow_if_new` filters to the cloner faces the same issues and
require a common solution to dealing with source-archetype sensitive
cloning

Alternative to #19632 and #19635.

# Solution

`EntityClonerBuilder` is made generic and split into
`EntityClonerBuilder<OptOut>` and `EntityClonerBuilder<OptIn>`

For an overview of the changes, see the migration guide. It is generally
a good idea to start a review of that.

## Algorithm

The generic of `EntityClonerBuilder` contains the filter data that is
needed to build and clone the entity components.

As the filter needs to be borrowed mutably for the duration of the
clone, the borrow checker forced me to separate the filter value and all
other fields in `EntityCloner`. The latter are now in the
`EntityClonerConfig` struct. This caused many changed LOC, sorry.

To make reviewing easier:

1. Check the migration guide
2. Many methods of `EntityCloner` now just call identitcal
`EntityClonerConfig` methods with a mutable borrow of the filter
3. Check `EntityClonerConfig::clone_entity_internal` which changed a bit
regarding the filter usage that is now trait powered (`CloneByFilter`)
to support `OptOut`, `OptIn` and `EntityClonerFilter` (an enum combining
the first two)
4. Check `OptOut` type that no longer tracks required components but has
a `insert_mode` field
5. Check `OptIn` type that has the most logic changes

# Testing

I added a bunch of tests that cover the new logic parts and the fixed
issues.

Benchmarks are in a comment a bit below which shows ~4% to 9%
regressions, but it varied wildly for me. For example at one run the
reflection-based clonings were on-par with main while the other are not,
and redoing that swapped the situation for both.

It would be really cool if I could get some hints how to get better
benchmark results or if you could run them on your machine too.

Just be aware this is not a Performance PR but a Bugfix PR, even if I
smuggled in some more functionalities. So doing changes to
`EntityClonerBuilder` is kind of required here which might make us bite
the bullet.

Rename num_entities to entity_count (#19781)
As discussed in
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/19780#issuecomment-2994554024.

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.

Support fallible one-shot systems (#19678)

I don't think that the output type needs to be `Send`. I've done some
test at it seems to work fine without it, which in IMO makes sense, but
please correct me if that is not the case.

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.

Stop storing access for all systems (#19477)
# Objective

Reduce memory usage by storing fewer copies of
`FilteredAccessSet<ComponentId>`.

Currently, the `System` trait exposes the `component_access_set` for the
system, which is used by the multi-threaded executor to determine which
systems can run concurrently. But because it is available on the trait,
it needs to be stored for *every* system, even ones that are not run by
the executor! In particular, it is never needed for observers, or for
the inner systems in a `PipeSystem` or `CombinatorSystem`.


## Solution

Instead of exposing the access from a method on `System`, return it from
`System::initialize`. Since it is still needed during scheduling, store
the access alongside the boxed system in the schedule.

That's not quite enough for systems built using `SystemParamBuilder`s,
though. Those calculate the access in `SystemParamBuilder::build`, which
happens earlier than `System::initialize`. To handle those, we separate
`SystemParam::init_state` into `init_state`, which creates the state
value, and `init_access`, which calculates the access. This lets
`System::initialize` call `init_access` on a state that was provided by
the builder.

An additional benefit of that separation is that it removes the need to
duplicate access checks between `SystemParamBuilder::build` and
`SystemParam::init_state`.

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.

Remove ArchetypeComponentId and archetype_component_access (#19143)
# Objective

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

## Solution

Remove `ArchetypeComponentId` and everything that touches it.  

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

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

Per world error handler (#18810)
# Objective

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

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

## Solution

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

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

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

## Testing

New/adjusted tests for failing schedule systems & observers.

App::new()

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.

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

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

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

## Solution

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

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

## Testing

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

Replace ValidationOutcome with Result (#18541)

## Solution

Replace `ValidationOutcome` with `Result<(),

`SystemParamValidationError`.

Add a `skipped` field to `SystemParamValidationError` to distinguish the
`Skipped` and `Invalid` variants.

params.

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

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

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

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

## Solution

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

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

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

## Testing

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

## To do

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

## Migration Guide

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

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

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

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

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

## Solution

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

## Testing

Ran the `error_handling` example.

## Notes for reviewers

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

## Benchmarks

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

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.

## 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.

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

## Objective

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

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

## Solution

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

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

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

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

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

There are three variants:

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

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

I also made some other minor tweaks:

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

Update EntityCommands::trigger to check for the entity's existence (#18071)
## Objective

`EntityCommands::trigger` internally uses `Commands::trigger_targets`,
which means it gets queued using `Commands::queue` rather
`EntityCommands::queue`. This previously wouldn't have made much
difference, but now entity commands check whether the entity exists, and
that check never happens in this case.

## Solution

- Add `entity_command::trigger`, which calls the same function as before
(`World::trigger_targets_with_caller`) but through the `EntityWorldMut`
passed to entity commands.
- Change `EntityCommands::trigger` to queue the new entity command
normally.

Change Commands::get_entity to return Result and remove panic from Commands::entity (#18043)
## Objective

Alternative to #18001.

- Now that systems can handle the `?` operator, `get_entity` returning
`Result` would be more useful than `Option`.
- With `get_entity` being more flexible, combined with entity commands
now checking the entity's existence automatically, the panic in `entity`
isn't really necessary.

## Solution

- Changed `Commands::get_entity` to return `Result<EntityCommands,
EntityDoesNotExistError>`.
- Removed panic from `Commands::entity`.

Add missing unsafe to entity_command::insert_by_id and make it more configurable (#18052)
## Objective

`insert_by_id` is unsafe, but I forgot to add that to the
manually-queueable version in `entity_command`.

It also can only insert using `InsertMode::Replace`, when it could
easily be configurable by threading an `InsertMode` parameter to the
final `BundleInserter::insert` call.

## Solution

- Add `unsafe` and safety comment.
- Add `InsertMode` parameter to `entity_command::insert_by_id`,
`EntityWorldMut::insert_by_id_with_caller`, and
`EntityWorldMut::insert_dynamic_bundle`.
- Add `InsertMode` parameter to `entity_command::insert` and remove
`entity_command::insert_if_new`, for consistency with the other
manually-queued insertion commands.

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<...>`.

_actually_ changed.

Add EntityDoesNotExistError, replace cases of Entity as an error, do some easy Resultification (#17855)
## Objective
There's no general error for when an entity doesn't exist, and some
methods are going to need one when they get Resultified. The closest
thing is `EntityFetchError`, but that error has a slightly more specific
purpose.

## Solution
- Added `EntityDoesNotExistError`.
  - Contains `Entity` and `EntityDoesNotExistDetails`.
- Changed `EntityFetchError` and `QueryEntityError`:
- Changed `NoSuchEntity` variant to wrap `EntityDoesNotExistError` and
renamed the variant to `EntityDoesNotExist`.
- Renamed `EntityFetchError` to `EntityMutableFetchError` to make its
purpose clearer.
- Renamed `TryDespawnError` to `EntityDespawnError` to make it more
general.
- Changed `World::inspect_entity` to return `Result<[ok],
EntityDoesNotExistError>` instead of panicking.
- Changed `World::get_entity` and `WorldEntityFetch::fetch_ref` to
return `Result<[ok], EntityDoesNotExistError>` instead of `Result<[ok],
Entity>`.
- Changed `UnsafeWorldCell::get_entity` to return
`Result<UnsafeEntityCell, EntityDoesNotExistError>` instead of
`Option<UnsafeEntityCell>`.

## Migration Guide
- `World::inspect_entity` now returns `Result<impl Iterator<Item =
&ComponentInfo>, EntityDoesNotExistError>` instead of `impl
Iterator<Item = &ComponentInfo>`.
- `World::get_entity` now returns `EntityDoesNotExistError` as an error
instead of `Entity`. You can still access the entity's ID through the
error's `entity` field.
- `UnsafeWorldCell::get_entity` now returns `Result<UnsafeEntityCell,
EntityDoesNotExistError>` instead of `Option<UnsafeEntityCell>`.

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

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

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

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

## Solution

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

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

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

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

## Open Questions

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

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

## Migration Guide

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

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

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

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

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).

Add simple Disabled marker (#17514)
# Objective

We have default query filters now, but there is no first-party marker
for entity disabling yet
Fixes #17458

## Solution

Add the marker, cool recursive features and/or potential hook changes
should be follow up work

## Testing

Added a unit test to check that the new marker is enabled by default

feat(ecs): add EntityEntryCommands::entity() method chaining (#17580)
This allows you to continue chaining method calls after calling
`EntityCommands::entry`:

```rust
commands
    .entity(player.entity)
    .entry::<Level>()
    // Modify the component if it exists
    .and_modify(|mut lvl| lvl.0 += 1)
    // Otherwise insert a default value
    .or_insert(Level(0))
    // Return the EntityCommands for the entity
    .entity()
    // And continue chaining method calls
    .insert(Name::new("Player"));
```

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!

## Migration Guide

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

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.
