# Objective
Right now, users have to implement basic system adapters such as `Option` <-> `Result` conversions by themselves. This is slightly annoying and discourages the use of system chaining.
## Solution
Add the module `system_adapter` to the prelude, which contains a collection of common adapters. This is very ergonomic in practice.
## Examples
Convenient early returning.
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
App::new()
// If the system fails, just try again next frame.
.add_system(pet_dog.chain(system_adapter::ignore))
.run();
#[derive(Component)]
struct Dog;
fn pet_dog(dogs: Query<(&Name, Option<&Parent>), With<Dog>>) -> Option<()> {
let (dog, dad) = dogs.iter().next()?;
println!("You pet {dog}. He/she/they are a good boy/girl/pupper.");
let (dad, _) = dogs.get(dad?.get()).ok()?;
println!("Their dad's name is {dad}");
Some(())
}
```
Converting the output of a system
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
App::new()
.add_system(
find_name
.chain(system_adapter::new(String::from))
.chain(spawn_with_name),
)
.run();
fn find_name() -> &'static str { /* ... */ }
fn spawn_with_name(In(name): In<String>, mut commands: Commands) {
commands.spawn().insert(Name::new(name));
}
```

## Changelog
* Added the module `bevy_ecs::prelude::system_adapter`, which contains a collection of common system chaining adapters.
* `new` - Converts a regular fn to a system adapter.
* `unwrap` - Similar to `Result::unwrap`
* `ignore` - Discards the output of the previous system.
*This PR description is an edited copy of #5007, written by @alice-i-cecile.*
# Objective
Follow-up to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2254. The `Resource` trait currently has a blanket implementation for all types that meet its bounds.
While ergonomic, this results in several drawbacks:
* it is possible to make confusing, silent mistakes such as inserting a function pointer (Foo) rather than a value (Foo::Bar) as a resource
* it is challenging to discover if a type is intended to be used as a resource
* we cannot later add customization options (see the [RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/27-derive-component.md) for the equivalent choice for Component).
* dependencies can use the same Rust type as a resource in invisibly conflicting ways
* raw Rust types used as resources cannot preserve privacy appropriately, as anyone able to access that type can read and write to internal values
* we cannot capture a definitive list of possible resources to display to users in an editor
## Notes to reviewers
* Review this commit-by-commit; there's effectively no back-tracking and there's a lot of churn in some of these commits.
*ira: My commits are not as well organized :')*
* I've relaxed the bound on Local to Send + Sync + 'static: I don't think these concerns apply there, so this can keep things simple. Storing e.g. a u32 in a Local is fine, because there's a variable name attached explaining what it does.
* I think this is a bad place for the Resource trait to live, but I've left it in place to make reviewing easier. IMO that's best tackled with https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4981.
## Changelog
`Resource` is no longer automatically implemented for all matching types. Instead, use the new `#[derive(Resource)]` macro.
## Migration Guide
Add `#[derive(Resource)]` to all types you are using as a resource.
If you are using a third party type as a resource, wrap it in a tuple struct to bypass orphan rules. Consider deriving `Deref` and `DerefMut` to improve ergonomics.
`ClearColor` no longer implements `Component`. Using `ClearColor` as a component in 0.8 did nothing.
Use the `ClearColorConfig` in the `Camera3d` and `Camera2d` components instead.

# Objective
`SAFETY` comments are meant to be placed before `unsafe` blocks and should contain the reasoning of why in this case the usage of unsafe is okay. This is useful when reading the code because it makes it clear which assumptions are required for safety, and makes it easier to spot possible unsoundness holes. It also forces the code writer to think of something to write and maybe look at the safety contracts of any called unsafe methods again to double-check their correct usage.
There's a clippy lint called `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` which warns when using a block without such a comment.
## Solution
- since clippy expects `SAFETY` instead of `SAFE`, rename those
- add `SAFETY` comments in more places
- for the last remaining 3 places, add an `#[allow()]` and `// TODO` since I wasn't comfortable enough with the code to justify their safety
- add ` #![warn(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]` to `bevy_ecs`
### Note for reviewers
The first commit only renames `SAFETY` to `SAFE` so it doesn't need a thorough review.
cb042a416e..55cef2d6fa is the diff for all other changes.

# Objective
We don't have reflection for resources.
## Solution
Introduce reflection for resources.
Continues #3580 (by @Davier), related to #3576.
---
## Changelog
### Added
* Reflection on a resource type (by adding `ReflectResource`):
```rust
#[derive(Reflect)]
#[reflect(Resource)]
struct MyResourse;
```
### Changed
* Rename `ReflectComponent::add_component` into `ReflectComponent::insert_component` for consistency.
## Migration Guide
* Rename `ReflectComponent::add_component` into `ReflectComponent::insert_component`.
# Objective
This is a common and useful type. I frequently use this when working with `Events` resource directly, typically when caching the data or manipulating the `World` directly.
This is also useful when manually configuring the cleanup strategy for events.
Right now, a direct reference to the target TaskPool is required to launch tasks on the pools, despite the three newtyped pools (AsyncComputeTaskPool, ComputeTaskPool, and IoTaskPool) effectively acting as global instances. The need to pass a TaskPool reference adds notable friction to spawning subtasks within existing tasks. Possible use cases for this may include chaining tasks within the same pool like spawning separate send/receive I/O tasks after waiting on a network connection to be established, or allowing cross-pool dependent tasks like starting dependent multi-frame computations following a long I/O load.
Other task execution runtimes provide static access to spawning tasks (i.e. `tokio::spawn`), which is notably easier to use than the reference passing required by `bevy_tasks` right now.
This PR makes does the following:
* Adds `*TaskPool::init` which initializes a `OnceCell`'ed with a provided TaskPool. Failing if the pool has already been initialized.
* Adds `*TaskPool::get` which fetches the initialized global pool of the respective type or panics. This generally should not be an issue in normal Bevy use, as the pools are initialized before they are accessed.
* Updated default task pool initialization to either pull the global handles and save them as resources, or if they are already initialized, pull the a cloned global handle as the resource.
This should make it notably easier to build more complex task hierarchies for dependent tasks. It should also make writing bevy-adjacent, but not strictly bevy-only plugin crates easier, as the global pools ensure it's all running on the same threads.
One alternative considered is keeping a thread-local reference to the pool for all threads in each pool to enable the same `tokio::spawn` interface. This would spawn tasks on the same pool that a task is currently running in. However this potentially leads to potential footgun situations where long running blocking tasks run on `ComputeTaskPool`.
(follow-up to #4423)
# Objective
Currently, it isn't possible to easily fire commands from within par_for_each blocks. This PR allows for issuing commands from within parallel scopes.
# Objective
Fixes#3183. Requiring a `&TaskPool` parameter is sort of meaningless if the only correct one is to use the one provided by `Res<ComputeTaskPool>` all the time.
## Solution
Have `QueryState` save a clone of the `ComputeTaskPool` which is used for all `par_for_each` functions.
~~Adds a small overhead of the internal `Arc` clone as a part of the startup, but the ergonomics win should be well worth this hardly-noticable overhead.~~
Updated the docs to note that it will panic the task pool is not present as a resource.
# Future Work
If https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/54 is approved, we can replace these resource lookups with a static function call instead to get the `ComputeTaskPool`.
---
## Changelog
Removed: The `task_pool` parameter of `Query(State)::par_for_each(_mut)`. These calls will use the `World`'s `ComputeTaskPool` resource instead.
## Migration Guide
The `task_pool` parameter for `Query(State)::par_for_each(_mut)` has been removed. Remove these parameters from all calls to these functions.
Before:
```rust
fn parallel_system(
task_pool: Res<ComputeTaskPool>,
query: Query<&MyComponent>,
) {
query.par_for_each(&task_pool, 32, |comp| {
...
});
}
```
After:
```rust
fn parallel_system(query: Query<&MyComponent>) {
query.par_for_each(32, |comp| {
...
});
}
```
If using `Query(State)` outside of a system run by the scheduler, you may need to manually configure and initialize a `ComputeTaskPool` as a resource in the `World`.
# Objective
`bevy_ecs` assumes that `u32 as usize` is a lossless operation and in a few cases relies on this for soundness and correctness. The only platforms that Rust compiles to where this invariant is broken are 16-bit systems.
A very clear example of this behavior is in the SparseSetIndex impl for Entity, where it converts a u32 into a usize to act as an index. If usize is 16-bit, the conversion will overflow and provide the caller with the wrong index. This can easily result in previously unforseen aliased mutable borrows (i.e. Query::get_many_mut).
## Solution
Explicitly fail compilation on 16-bit platforms instead of introducing UB.
Properly supporting 16-bit systems will likely need a workable use case first.
---
## Changelog
Removed: Ability to compile `bevy_ecs` on 16-bit platforms.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_ecs` will now explicitly fail to compile on 16-bit platforms. If this is required, there is currently no alternative. Please file an issue (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues) to help detail your use case.
# Objective
The pointer types introduced in #3001 are useful not just in `bevy_ecs`, but also in crates like `bevy_reflect` (#4475) or even outside of bevy.
## Solution
Extract `Ptr<'a>`, `PtrMut<'a>`, `OwnedPtr<'a>`, `ThinSlicePtr<'a, T>` and `UnsafeCellDeref` from `bevy_ecs::ptr` into `bevy_ptr`.
**Note:** `bevy_ecs` still reexports the `bevy_ptr` as `bevy_ecs::ptr` so that crates like `bevy_transform` can use the `Bundle` derive without needing to depend on `bevy_ptr` themselves.
# Objective
`bevy_ecs` has large amounts of unsafe code which is hard to get right and makes it difficult to audit for soundness.
## Solution
Introduce lifetimed, type-erased pointers: `Ptr<'a>` `PtrMut<'a>` `OwningPtr<'a>'` and `ThinSlicePtr<'a, T>` which are newtypes around a raw pointer with a lifetime and conceptually representing strong invariants about the pointee and validity of the pointer.
The process of converting bevy_ecs to use these has already caught multiple cases of unsound behavior.
## Changelog
TL;DR for release notes: `bevy_ecs` now uses lifetimed, type-erased pointers internally, significantly improving safety and legibility without sacrificing performance. This should have approximately no end user impact, unless you were meddling with the (unfortunately public) internals of `bevy_ecs`.
- `Fetch`, `FilterFetch` and `ReadOnlyFetch` trait no longer have a `'state` lifetime
- this was unneeded
- `ReadOnly/Fetch` associated types on `WorldQuery` are now on a new `WorldQueryGats<'world>` trait
- was required to work around lack of Generic Associated Types (we wish to express `type Fetch<'a>: Fetch<'a>`)
- `derive(WorldQuery)` no longer requires `'w` lifetime on struct
- this was unneeded, and improves the end user experience
- `EntityMut::get_unchecked_mut` returns `&'_ mut T` not `&'w mut T`
- allows easier use of unsafe API with less footguns, and can be worked around via lifetime transmutery as a user
- `Bundle::from_components` now takes a `ctx` parameter to pass to the `FnMut` closure
- required because closure return types can't borrow from captures
- `Fetch::init` takes `&'world World`, `Fetch::set_archetype` takes `&'world Archetype` and `&'world Tables`, `Fetch::set_table` takes `&'world Table`
- allows types implementing `Fetch` to store borrows into world
- `WorldQuery` trait now has a `shrink` fn to shorten the lifetime in `Fetch::<'a>::Item`
- this works around lack of subtyping of assoc types, rust doesnt allow you to turn `<T as Fetch<'static>>::Item'` into `<T as Fetch<'a>>::Item'`
- `QueryCombinationsIter` requires this
- Most types implementing `Fetch` now have a lifetime `'w`
- allows the fetches to store borrows of world data instead of using raw pointers
## Migration guide
- `EntityMut::get_unchecked_mut` returns a more restricted lifetime, there is no general way to migrate this as it depends on your code
- `Bundle::from_components` implementations must pass the `ctx` arg to `func`
- `Bundle::from_components` callers have to use a fn arg instead of closure captures for borrowing from world
- Remove lifetime args on `derive(WorldQuery)` structs as it is nonsensical
- `<Q as WorldQuery>::ReadOnly/Fetch` should be changed to either `RO/QueryFetch<'world>` or `<Q as WorldQueryGats<'world>>::ReadOnly/Fetch`
- `<F as Fetch<'w, 's>>` should be changed to `<F as Fetch<'w>>`
- Change the fn sigs of `Fetch::init/set_archetype/set_table` to match respective trait fn sigs
- Implement the required `fn shrink` on any `WorldQuery` implementations
- Move assoc types `Fetch` and `ReadOnlyFetch` on `WorldQuery` impls to `WorldQueryGats` impls
- Pass an appropriate `'world` lifetime to whatever fetch struct you are for some reason using
### Type inference regression
in some cases rustc may give spurrious errors when attempting to infer the `F` parameter on a query/querystate this can be fixed by manually specifying the type, i.e. `QueryState:🆕:<_, ()>(world)`. The error is rather confusing:
```rust=
error[E0271]: type mismatch resolving `<() as Fetch<'_>>::Item == bool`
--> crates/bevy_pbr/src/render/light.rs:1413:30
|
1413 | main_view_query: QueryState::new(world),
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `bool`, found `()`
|
= note: required because of the requirements on the impl of `for<'x> FilterFetch<'x>` for `<() as WorldQueryGats<'x>>::Fetch`
note: required by a bound in `bevy_ecs::query::QueryState::<Q, F>::new`
--> crates/bevy_ecs/src/query/state.rs:49:32
|
49 | for<'x> QueryFetch<'x, F>: FilterFetch<'x>,
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ required by this bound in `bevy_ecs::query::QueryState::<Q, F>::new`
```

## Objective
This fixes#1686.
`size_hint` can be useful even if a little niche. For example,
`collect::<Vec<_>>()` uses the `size_hint` of Iterator it collects from
to pre-allocate a memory slice large enough to not require re-allocating
when pushing all the elements of the iterator.
## Solution
To this effect I made the following changes:
* Add a `IS_ARCHETYPAL` associated constant to the `Fetch` trait,
this constant tells us when it is safe to assume that the `Fetch`
relies exclusively on archetypes to filter queried entities
* Add `IS_ARCHETYPAL` to all the implementations of `Fetch`
* Use that constant in `QueryIter::size_hint` to provide a more useful
## Migration guide
The new associated constant is an API breaking change. For the user,
if they implemented a custom `Fetch`, it means they have to add this
associated constant to their implementation. Either `true` if it doesn't limit
the number of entities returned in a query beyond that of archetypes, or
`false` for when it does.
Remove the 'chaining' api, as it's peculiar
~~Implement the label traits for `Box<dyn ThatTrait>` (n.b. I'm not confident about this change, but it was the quickest path to not regressing)~~
Remove the need for '`.system`' when using run criteria piping
# Objective
Add a system parameter `ParamSet` to be used as container for conflicting parameters.
## Solution
Added two methods to the SystemParamState trait, which gives the access used by the parameter. Did the implementation. Added some convenience methods to FilteredAccessSet. Changed `get_conflicts` to return every conflicting component instead of breaking on the first conflicting `FilteredAccess`.

# Objective
Fixes#1529
Run bevy_ecs in miri
## Solution
- Don't set thread names when running in miri rust-lang/miri/issues/1717
- Update `event-listener` to `2.5.2` as previous versions have UB that is detected by miri: [event-listener commit](1fa31c553e)
- Ignore memory leaks when running in miri as they are impossible to track down rust-lang/miri/issues/1481
- Make `table_add_remove_many` test less "many" because miri is really quite slow :)
- Make CI run `RUSTFLAGS="-Zrandomize-layout" MIRIFLAGS="-Zmiri-ignore-leaks -Zmiri-tag-raw-pointers -Zmiri-disable-isolation" cargo +nightly miri test -p bevy_ecs`
This adds the concept of "default labels" for systems (currently scoped to "parallel systems", but this could just as easily be implemented for "exclusive systems"). Function systems now include their function's `SystemTypeIdLabel` by default.
This enables the following patterns:
```rust
// ordering two systems without manually defining labels
app
.add_system(update_velocity)
.add_system(movement.after(update_velocity))
// ordering sets of systems without manually defining labels
app
.add_system(foo)
.add_system_set(
SystemSet::new()
.after(foo)
.with_system(bar)
.with_system(baz)
)
```

Credit to @aevyrie @alice-i-cecile @DJMcNab (and probably others) for proposing (and supporting) this idea about a year ago. I was a big dummy that both shut down this (very good) idea and then forgot I did that. Sorry. You all were right!
# Objective
- In the large majority of cases, users were calling `.unwrap()` immediately after `.get_resource`.
- Attempting to add more helpful error messages here resulted in endless manual boilerplate (see #3899 and the linked PRs).
## Solution
- Add an infallible variant named `.resource` and so on.
- Use these infallible variants over `.get_resource().unwrap()` across the code base.
## Notes
I did not provide equivalent methods on `WorldCell`, in favor of removing it entirely in #3939.
## Migration Guide
Infallible variants of `.get_resource` have been added that implicitly panic, rather than needing to be unwrapped.
Replace `world.get_resource::<Foo>().unwrap()` with `world.resource::<Foo>()`.
## Impact
- `.unwrap` search results before: 1084
- `.unwrap` search results after: 942
- internal `unwrap_or_else` calls added: 4
- trivial unwrap calls removed from tests and code: 146
- uses of the new `try_get_resource` API: 11
- percentage of the time the unwrapping API was used internally: 93%
# Objective
- Fix the ugliness of the `config` api.
- Supercedes #2440, #2463, #2491
## Solution
- Since #2398, capturing closure systems have worked.
- Use those instead where we needed config before
- Remove the rest of the config api.
- Related: #2777
What is says on the tin.
This has got more to do with making `clippy` slightly more *quiet* than it does with changing anything that might greatly impact readability or performance.
that said, deriving `Default` for a couple of structs is a nice easy win
# Objective
- Fixes#3078
- Fixes#1397
## Solution
- Implement Commands::init_resource.
- Also implement for World, for consistency and to simplify internal structure.
- While we're here, clean up some of the docs for Command and World resource modification.
Implements a new Queryable called AnyOf, which will return an item as long as at least one of it's requested Queryables returns something. For example, a `Query<AnyOf<(&A, &B, &C)>>` will return items with type `(Option<&A>, Option<&B>, Option<&C>)`, and will guarantee that for every element at least one of the option s is Some. This is a shorthand for queries like `Query<(Option<&A>, Option<&B>, Option<&C>), Or<(With<A>, With<B>, With&C>)>>`.

This implements the most minimal variant of #1843 - a derive for marker trait. This is a prerequisite to more complicated features like statically defined storage type or opt-out component reflection.
In order to make component struct's purpose explicit and avoid misuse, it must be annotated with `#[derive(Component)]` (manual impl is discouraged for compatibility). Right now this is just a marker trait, but in the future it might be expanded. Making this change early allows us to make further changes later without breaking backward compatibility for derive macro users.
This already prevents a lot of issues, like using bundles in `insert` calls. Primitive types are no longer valid components as well. This can be easily worked around by adding newtype wrappers and deriving `Component` for them.
One funny example of prevented bad code (from our own tests) is when an newtype struct or enum variant is used. Previously, it was possible to write `insert(Newtype)` instead of `insert(Newtype(value))`. That code compiled, because function pointers (in this case newtype struct constructor) implement `Send + Sync + 'static`, so we allowed them to be used as components. This is no longer the case and such invalid code will trigger a compile error.

Changed out unwraps to use if let syntax instead. Returning false when None.
Also modified an existing test to encompass these methods
This PR fixes#2828
This changes how render logic is composed to make it much more modular. Previously, all extraction logic was centralized for a given "type" of rendered thing. For example, we extracted meshes into a vector of ExtractedMesh, which contained the mesh and material asset handles, the transform, etc. We looked up bindings for "drawn things" using their index in the `Vec<ExtractedMesh>`. This worked fine for built in rendering, but made it hard to reuse logic for "custom" rendering. It also prevented us from reusing things like "extracted transforms" across contexts.
To make rendering more modular, I made a number of changes:
* Entities now drive rendering:
* We extract "render components" from "app components" and store them _on_ entities. No more centralized uber lists! We now have true "ECS-driven rendering"
* To make this perform well, I implemented #2673 in upstream Bevy for fast batch insertions into specific entities. This was merged into the `pipelined-rendering` branch here: #2815
* Reworked the `Draw` abstraction:
* Generic `PhaseItems`: each draw phase can define its own type of "rendered thing", which can define its own "sort key"
* Ported the 2d, 3d, and shadow phases to the new PhaseItem impl (currently Transparent2d, Transparent3d, and Shadow PhaseItems)
* `Draw` trait and and `DrawFunctions` are now generic on PhaseItem
* Modular / Ergonomic `DrawFunctions` via `RenderCommands`
* RenderCommand is a trait that runs an ECS query and produces one or more RenderPass calls. Types implementing this trait can be composed to create a final DrawFunction. For example the DrawPbr DrawFunction is created from the following DrawCommand tuple. Const generics are used to set specific bind group locations:
```rust
pub type DrawPbr = (
SetPbrPipeline,
SetMeshViewBindGroup<0>,
SetStandardMaterialBindGroup<1>,
SetTransformBindGroup<2>,
DrawMesh,
);
```
* The new `custom_shader_pipelined` example illustrates how the commands above can be reused to create a custom draw function:
```rust
type DrawCustom = (
SetCustomMaterialPipeline,
SetMeshViewBindGroup<0>,
SetTransformBindGroup<2>,
DrawMesh,
);
```
* ExtractComponentPlugin and UniformComponentPlugin:
* Simple, standardized ways to easily extract individual components and write them to GPU buffers
* Ported PBR and Sprite rendering to the new primitives above.
* Removed staging buffer from UniformVec in favor of direct Queue usage
* Makes UniformVec much easier to use and more ergonomic. Completely removes the need for custom render graph nodes in these contexts (see the PbrNode and view Node removals and the much simpler call patterns in the relevant Prepare systems).
* Added a many_cubes_pipelined example to benchmark baseline 3d rendering performance and ensure there were no major regressions during this port. Avoiding regressions was challenging given that the old approach of extracting into centralized vectors is basically the "optimal" approach. However thanks to a various ECS optimizations and render logic rephrasing, we pretty much break even on this benchmark!
* Lifetimeless SystemParams: this will be a bit divisive, but as we continue to embrace "trait driven systems" (ex: ExtractComponentPlugin, UniformComponentPlugin, DrawCommand), the ergonomics of `(Query<'static, 'static, (&'static A, &'static B, &'static)>, Res<'static, C>)` were getting very hard to bear. As a compromise, I added "static type aliases" for the relevant SystemParams. The previous example can now be expressed like this: `(SQuery<(Read<A>, Read<B>)>, SRes<C>)`. If anyone has better ideas / conflicting opinions, please let me know!
* RunSystem trait: a way to define Systems via a trait with a SystemParam associated type. This is used to implement the various plugins mentioned above. I also added SystemParamItem and QueryItem type aliases to make "trait stye" ecs interactions nicer on the eyes (and fingers).
* RenderAsset retrying: ensures that render assets are only created when they are "ready" and allows us to create bind groups directly inside render assets (which significantly simplified the StandardMaterial code). I think ultimately we should swap this out on "asset dependency" events to wait for dependencies to load, but this will require significant asset system changes.
* Updated some built in shaders to account for missing MeshUniform fields
## Objective
The upcoming Bevy Book makes many references to the API documentation of bevy.
Most references belong to the first two chapters of the Bevy Book:
- bevyengine/bevy-website#176
- bevyengine/bevy-website#182
This PR attempts to improve the documentation of `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app` in order to help readers of the Book who want to delve deeper into technical details.
## Solution
- Add crate and level module documentation
- Document the most important items (basically those included in the preludes), with the following style, where applicable:
- **Summary.** Short description of the item.
- **Second paragraph.** Detailed description of the item, without going too much in the implementation.
- **Code example(s).**
- **Safety or panic notes.**
## Collaboration
Any kind of collaboration is welcome, especially corrections, wording, new ideas and guidelines on where the focus should be put in.

### Related issues
- Fixes#2246
This updates the `pipelined-rendering` branch to use the latest `bevy_ecs` from `main`. This accomplishes a couple of goals:
1. prepares for upcoming `custom-shaders` branch changes, which were what drove many of the recent bevy_ecs changes on `main`
2. prepares for the soon-to-happen merge of `pipelined-rendering` into `main`. By including bevy_ecs changes now, we make that merge simpler / easier to review.
I split this up into 3 commits:
1. **add upstream bevy_ecs**: please don't bother reviewing this content. it has already received thorough review on `main` and is a literal copy/paste of the relevant folders (the old folders were deleted so the directories are literally exactly the same as `main`).
2. **support manual buffer application in stages**: this is used to enable the Extract step. we've already reviewed this once on the `pipelined-rendering` branch, but its worth looking at one more time in the new context of (1).
3. **support manual archetype updates in QueryState**: same situation as (2).
This upstreams the code changes used by the new renderer to enable cross-app Entity reuse:
* Spawning at specific entities
* get_or_spawn: spawns an entity if it doesn't already exist and returns an EntityMut
* insert_or_spawn_batch: the batched equivalent to `world.get_or_spawn(entity).insert_bundle(bundle)`
* Clearing entities and storages
* Allocating Entities with "invalid" archetypes. These entities cannot be queried / are treated as "non existent". They serve as "reserved" entities that won't show up when calling `spawn()`. They must be "specifically spawned at" using apis like `get_or_spawn(entity)`.
In combination, these changes enable the "render world" to clear entities / storages each frame and reserve all "app world entities". These can then be spawned during the "render extract step".
This refactors "spawn" and "insert" code in a way that I think is a massive improvement to legibility and re-usability. It also yields marginal performance wins by reducing some duplicate lookups (less than a percentage point improvement on insertion benchmarks). There is also some potential for future unsafe reduction (by making BatchSpawner and BatchInserter generic). But for now I want to cut down generic usage to a minimum to encourage smaller binaries and faster compiles.
This is currently a draft because it needs more tests (although this code has already had some real-world testing on my custom-shaders branch).
I also fixed the benchmarks (which currently don't compile!) / added new ones to illustrate batching wins.
After these changes, Bevy ECS is basically ready to accommodate the new renderer. I think the biggest missing piece at this point is "sub apps".
# Objective
There is currently a 1-to-1 mapping between components and real rust types. This means that it is impossible for multiple components to be represented by the same rust type or for a component to not have a rust type at all. This means that component types can't be defined in languages other than rust like necessary for scripting or sandboxed (wasm?) plugins.
## Solution
Refactor `ComponentDescriptor` and `Bundle` to remove `TypeInfo`. `Bundle` now uses `ComponentId` instead. `ComponentDescriptor` is now always created from a rust type instead of through the `TypeInfo` indirection. A future PR may make it possible to construct a `ComponentDescriptor` from it's fields without a rust type being involved.
# Objective
- Continue work of #2398 and #2403.
- Make `.system()` syntax optional when using `.config()` API.
## Solution
- Introduce new prelude trait, `ConfigurableSystem`, that shorthands `my_system.system().config(...)` as `my_system.config(...)`.
- Expand `configure_system_local` test to also cover the new syntax.
Continuing the work on reducing the safety footguns in the code, I've removed one extra `UnsafeCell` in favour of safe `Cell` usage inisde `ComponentTicks`. That change led to discovery of misbehaving component insert logic, where data wasn't properly dropped when overwritten. Apart from that being fixed, some method names were changed to better convey the "initialize new allocation" and "replace existing allocation" semantic.
Depends on #2221, I will rebase this PR after the dependency is merged. For now, review just the last commit.

`ResMut`, `Mut` and `ReflectMut` all share very similar code for change detection.
This PR is a first pass at refactoring these implementation and removing a lot of the duplicated code.
Note, this introduces a new trait `ChangeDetectable`.
Please feel free to comment away and let me know what you think!
Fixes#1809. It makes it also possible to use `derive` for `SystemParam` inside ECS and avoid manual implementation. An alternative solution to macro changes is to use `use crate as bevy_ecs;` in `event.rs`.
I think [collection, thing_removed_from_collection] is a more natural order than [thing_removed_from_collection, collection]. Just a small tweak that I think we should include in 0.5.
I'm opening this prematurely; consider this an RFC that predates RFCs and therefore not super-RFC-like.
This PR does two "big" things: decouple run criteria from system sets, reimagine system sets as weapons of mass system description.
### What it lets us do:
* Reuse run criteria within a stage.
* Pipe output of one run criteria as input to another.
* Assign labels, dependencies, run criteria, and ambiguity sets to many systems at the same time.
### Things already done:
* Decoupled run criteria from system sets.
* Mass system description superpowers to `SystemSet`.
* Implemented `RunCriteriaDescriptor`.
* Removed `VirtualSystemSet`.
* Centralized all run criteria of `SystemStage`.
* Extended system descriptors with per-system run criteria.
* `.before()` and `.after()` for run criteria.
* Explicit order between state driver and related run criteria. Fixes#1672.
* Opt-in run criteria deduplication; default behavior is to panic.
* Labels (not exposed) for state run criteria; state run criteria are deduplicated.
### API issues that need discussion:
* [`FixedTimestep::step(1.0).label("my label")`](eaccf857cd/crates/bevy_ecs/src/schedule/run_criteria.rs (L120-L122)) and [`FixedTimestep::step(1.0).with_label("my label")`](eaccf857cd/crates/bevy_core/src/time/fixed_timestep.rs (L86-L89)) are both valid but do very different things.

I will try to maintain this post up-to-date as things change. Do check the diffs in "edited" thingy from time to time.
