# Objective
- `apply_system_buffers` is an unhelpful name: it introduces a new
internal-only concept
- this is particularly rough for beginners as reasoning about how
commands work is a critical stumbling block
## Solution
- rename `apply_system_buffers` to the more descriptive `apply_deferred`
- rename related fields, arguments and methods in the internals fo
bevy_ecs for consistency
- update the docs
## Changelog
`apply_system_buffers` has been renamed to `apply_deferred`, to more
clearly communicate its intent and relation to `Deferred` system
parameters like `Commands`.
## Migration Guide
- `apply_system_buffers` has been renamed to `apply_deferred`
- the `apply_system_buffers` method on the `System` trait has been
renamed to `apply_deferred`
- the `is_apply_system_buffers` function has been replaced by
`is_apply_deferred`
- `Executor::set_apply_final_buffers` is now
`Executor::set_apply_final_deferred`
- `Schedule::apply_system_buffers` is now `Schedule::apply_deferred`

# Objective
The `Condition` trait is only implemented for systems and system
functions that take no input. This can make it awkward to write
conditions that are intended to be used with system piping.
## Solution
Add an `In` generic to the trait. It defaults to `()`.
---
## Changelog
- Made the `Condition` trait generic over system inputs.
# Objective
Fix#7833.
Safety comments in the multi-threaded executor don't really talk about
system world accesses, which makes it unclear if the code is actually
valid.
## Solution
Update the `System` trait to use `UnsafeWorldCell`. This type's API is
written in a way that makes it much easier to cleanly maintain safety
invariants. Use this type throughout the multi-threaded executor, with a
liberal use of safety comments.
---
## Migration Guide
The `System` trait now uses `UnsafeWorldCell` instead of `&World`. This
type provides a robust API for interior mutable world access.
- The method `run_unsafe` uses this type to manage world mutations
across multiple threads.
- The method `update_archetype_component_access` uses this type to
ensure that only world metadata can be used.
```rust
let mut system = IntoSystem::into_system(my_system);
system.initialize(&mut world);
// Before:
system.update_archetype_component_access(&world);
unsafe { system.run_unsafe(&world) }
// After:
system.update_archetype_component_access(world.as_unsafe_world_cell_readonly());
unsafe { system.run_unsafe(world.as_unsafe_world_cell()) }
```

Added helper extracted from #7711. that PR contains some controversy
conditions, but this one should be good to go.

# Objective
State requires a kind of awkward `state.0` to get the current state and
exposes the field directly to manipulation.
## Solution
Make it accessible through a getter method as well as privatize the
field to make sure false assumptions about setting the state aren't
made.
## Migration Guide
- Use `State::get` instead of accessing the tuple field directly.
# Objective
While we use `#[doc(hidden)]` to try and hide marker generics from the user, these types reveal themselves in compiler errors, adding visual noise and confusion.
## Solution
Replace the `AlreadyWasSystem` marker generic with `()`, to reduce visual noise in error messages. This also makes it possible to return `impl Condition<()>` from combinators.
For function systems, use their function signature as the marker type. This should drastically improve the legibility of some error messages.
The `InputMarker` type has been removed, since it is unnecessary.
# Objective
Several places in the ECS use marker generics to avoid overlapping trait implementations, but different places alternately refer to it as `Params` and `Marker`. This is potentially confusing, since it might not be clear that the same pattern is being used. Additionally, users might be misled into thinking that the `Params` type corresponds to the `SystemParam`s of a system.
## Solution
Rename `Params` to `Marker`.
# Objective
The `BoxedCondition` type alias does not require the underlying system to be read-only.
## Solution
Define the type alias using `ReadOnlySystem` instead of `System`.
Add some more useful common run conditions.
Some of these existed in `iyes_loopless`. I know people used them, and it would be a regression for those users, when they try to migrate to new Bevy stageless, if they are missing.
I also took the opportunity to add a few more new ones.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- More "common run conditions": on_event, resource change detection, state_changed, any_with_component
# Objective
Fix#7584.
## Solution
Add an abstraction for creating custom system combinators with minimal boilerplate. Use this to implement AND/OR combinators. Use this to simplify the implementation of `PipeSystem`.
## Example
Feel free to bikeshed on the syntax.
I chose the names `and_then`/`or_else` to emphasize the fact that these short-circuit, while I chose method syntax to empasize that the arguments are *not* treated equally.
```rust
app.add_systems((
my_system.run_if(resource_exists::<R>().and_then(resource_equals(R(0)))),
our_system.run_if(resource_exists::<R>().or_else(resource_exists::<S>())),
));
```
---
## Todo
- [ ] Decide on a syntax
- [x] Write docs
- [x] Write tests
## Changelog
+ Added the extension methods `.and_then(...)` and `.or_else(...)` to run conditions, which allows combining run conditions with short-circuiting behavior.
+ Added the trait `Combine`, which can be used with the new `CombinatorSystem` to create system combinators with custom behavior.
# Objective
The trait `Condition<>` is implemented for any type that can be converted into a `ReadOnlySystem` which takes no inputs and returns a bool. However, due to the current implementation, consumers of the trait cannot rely on the fact that `<T as Condition>::System` implements `ReadOnlySystem`. In cases such as the `not` combinator (added in #7559), we are required to add redundant `T::System: ReadOnlySystem` trait bounds, even though this should be implied by the `Condition<>` trait.
## Solution
Add a hidden associated type which allows the compiler to figure out that the `System` associated type implements `ReadOnlySystem`.
# Objective
- Improve readability of the run condition for systems only running in a certain state
## Solution
- Rename `state_equals` to `in_state` (see [comment by cart](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7634#issuecomment-1428740311) in #7634 )
- `.run_if(state_equals(variant))` now is `.run_if(in_state(variant))`
This breaks the naming pattern a bit with the related conditions `state_exists` and `state_exists_and_equals` but I could not think of better names for those and think the improved readability of `in_state` is worth it.
# Objective
Closes#7202
## Solution
~~Introduce a `not` helper to pipe conditions. Opened mostly for discussion. Maybe create an extension trait with `not` method? Please, advice.~~
Introduce `not(condition)` condition that inverses the result of the passed.
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `not` condition.
# Objective
Run conditions are a special type of system that do not modify the world, and which return a bool. Due to the way they are currently implemented, you can *only* use bare function systems as a run condition. Among other things, this prevents the use of system piping with run conditions. This make very basic constructs impossible, such as `my_system.run_if(my_condition.pipe(not))`.
Unblocks a basic solution for #7202.
## Solution
Add the trait `ReadOnlySystem`, which is implemented for any system whose parameters all implement `ReadOnlySystemParam`. Allow any `-> bool` system implementing this trait to be used as a run condition.
---
## Changelog
+ Added the trait `ReadOnlySystem`, which is implemented for any `System` type whose parameters all implement `ReadOnlySystemParam`.
+ Added the function `bevy::ecs::system::assert_is_read_only_system`.
