# Objective
#18173 allows components to be queued without being fully registered.
But much of bevy's debug logging contained
`components.get_name(id).unwrap()`. However, this panics when the id is
queued. This PR fixes this, allowing names to be retrieved for debugging
purposes, etc, even while they're still queued.
## Solution
We change `ComponentInfo::descriptor` to be `Arc<ComponentDescriptor>`
instead of not arc'd. This lets us pass the descriptor around (as a name
or otherwise) as needed. The alternative would require some form of
`MappedRwLockReadGuard`, which is unstable, and would be terribly
blocking. Putting it in an arc also signifies that it doesn't change,
which is a nice signal to users. This does mean there's an extra pointer
dereference, but I don't think that's an issue here, as almost all paths
that use this are for debugging purposes or one-time set ups.
## Testing
Existing tests.
## Migration Guide
`Components::get_name` now returns `Option<Cow<'_, str>` instead of
`Option<&str>`. This is because it now returns results for queued
components. If that behavior is not desired, or you know the component
is not queued, you can use
`components.get_info().map(ComponentInfo::name)` instead.
Similarly, `ScheduleGraph::conflicts_to_string` now returns `impl
Iterator<Item = (String, String, Vec<Cow<str>>)>` instead of `impl
Iterator<Item = (String, String, Vec<&str>)>`. Because `Cow<str>` derefs
to `&str`, most use cases can remain unchanged.
