# Objective
Align the hierarchy API between `EntityCommands` and `EntityMut`.
Added missing methods to `EntityMut`.
Replaced the duplicate `Command` implementations with the ones on `EntityMut` (e.g. The `AddChild` command is now just `world.entity_mut(..).add_child(..)`)
Fixed `update_old_parents` not sending `ChildAdded` events.
This PR does not add `add_children` to `EntityMut` as I would like to remove it from `EntityCommands` instead in #6942.
## Changelog
* Added `add_child`, `set_parent` and `remove_parent` to `EntityMut`
* Fixed missing `ChildAdded` events

## Objective
Implement absolute minimum viable product for the changes proposed in bevyengine/rfcs#53.
## Solution
- Remove public mutative access to `Parent` (Children is already publicly read-only). This includes public construction methods like `Copy`, `Clone`, and `Default`.
- Remove `PreviousParent`
- Remove `parent_update_system`
- Update all hierarchy related commands to immediately update both `Parent` and `Children` references.
## Remaining TODOs
- [ ] Update documentation for both `Parent` and `Children`. Discourage using `EntityCommands::remove`
- [x] Add `HierarchyEvent` to notify listeners of hierarchy updates. This is meant to replace listening on `PreviousParent`
## Followup
- These changes should be best moved to the hooks mentioned in #3742.
- Backing storage for both might be best moved to indexes mentioned in the same relations.
