Merge Style properties into Node. Use ComputedNode for computed properties. ()
# Objective

Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)

## Solution

As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.

This accomplishes a number of goals:

## Ergonomics wins

Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles

Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
    Node::default(),
    Style {
        width:  Val::Px(100.),
        ..default()
    },
));
```

After:

```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
    width:  Val::Px(100.),
    ..default()
});
```

## Conceptual clarity

`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).

By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.

## Next Steps

* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.

---

## Migration Guide

Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.

Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
    Node::default(),
    Style {
        width:  Val::Px(100.),
        ..default()
    },
));
```

After:

```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
    width:  Val::Px(100.),
    ..default()
});
```

For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:

Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
    for node in &nodes {
        let computed_size = node.size();
    }
}
```

After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
    for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
        let computed_size = computed_node.size();
    }
}
```

split up TextStyle ()
# Objective

Currently text is recomputed unnecessarily on any changes to its color,
which is extremely expensive.

## Solution
Split up `TextStyle` into two separate components `TextFont` and
`TextColor`.

## Testing

I added this system to `many_buttons`:
```rust
fn set_text_colors_changed(mut colors: Query<&mut TextColor>) {
    for mut text_color in colors.iter_mut() {
        text_color.set_changed();
    }
}
```

reports ~4fps on main, ~50fps with this PR.

## Migration Guide
`TextStyle` has been renamed to `TextFont` and its `color` field has
been moved to a separate component named `TextColor` which newtypes
`Color`.

Text rework ()
**Ready for review. Examples migration progress: 100%.**

# Objective

- Implement https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014

## Solution

This implements [cart's
proposal](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/15014#discussioncomment-10574459)
faithfully except for one change. I separated `TextSpan` from
`TextSpan2d` because `TextSpan` needs to require the `GhostNode`
component, which is a `bevy_ui` component only usable by UI.

Extra changes:
- Added `EntityCommands::commands_mut` that returns a mutable reference.
This is a blocker for extension methods that return something other than
`self`. Note that `sickle_ui`'s `UiBuilder::commands` returns a mutable
reference for this reason.

## Testing

- [x] Text examples all work.

## Migration Guide

TODO: very breaking

### Accessing text spans by index

Text sections are now text sections on different entities in a
hierarchy, Use the new `TextReader` and `TextWriter` system parameters
to access spans by index.

Before:
```rust
fn refresh_text(mut query: Query<&mut Text, With<TimeText>>, time: Res<Time>) {
    let text = query.single_mut();
    text.sections[1].value = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```

After:
```rust
fn refresh_text(
    query: Query<Entity, With<TimeText>>,
    mut writer: UiTextWriter,
    time: Res<Time>
) {
    let entity = query.single();
    *writer.text(entity, 1) = format_time(time.elapsed());
}
```

### Iterating text spans

Text spans are now entities in a hierarchy, so the new `UiTextReader`
and `UiTextWriter` system parameters provide ways to iterate that
hierarchy. The `UiTextReader::iter` method will give you a normal
iterator over spans, and `UiTextWriter::for_each` lets you visit each of
the spans.

Migrate cameras to required components ()
# Objective

Yet another PR for migrating stuff to required components. This time,
cameras!

## Solution

As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/tsYID4CGRiWxzsgawzxG_g#Combined-Proposal-1-Selected),
deprecate `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` in favor of `Camera2d`
and `Camera3d`.

Adding a `Camera` without `Camera2d` or `Camera3d` now logs a warning,
as suggested by Cart [on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1264881140007702558/1291506402832945273).
I would personally like cameras to work a bit differently and be split
into a few more components, to avoid some footguns and confusing
semantics, but that is more controversial, and shouldn't block this core
migration.

## Testing

I ran a few 2D and 3D examples, and tried cameras with and without
render graphs.

---

## Migration Guide

`Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` have been deprecated in favor of
`Camera2d` and `Camera3d`. Inserting them will now also insert the other
components required by them automatically.

Migrate scenes to required components ()
# Objective

A step in the migration to required components: scenes!

## Solution

As per the [selected
proposal](https://hackmd.io/@bevy/required_components/%2FPJtNGVMMQhyM0zIvCJSkbA):
- Deprecate `SceneBundle` and `DynamicSceneBundle`.
- Add `SceneRoot` and `DynamicSceneRoot` components, which wrap a
`Handle<Scene>` and `Handle<DynamicScene>` respectively.

## Migration Guide
Asset handles for scenes and dynamic scenes must now be wrapped in the
`SceneRoot` and `DynamicSceneRoot` components. Raw handles as components
no longer spawn scenes.

Additionally, `SceneBundle` and `DynamicSceneBundle` have been
deprecated. Instead, use the scene components directly.

Previously:
```rust
let model_scene = asset_server.load(GltfAssetLabel::Scene(0).from_asset("model.gltf"));

commands.spawn(SceneBundle {
    scene: model_scene,
    transform: Transform::from_xyz(-4.0, 0.0, -3.0),
    ..default()
});
```
Now:
```rust
let model_scene = asset_server.load(GltfAssetLabel::Scene(0).from_asset("model.gltf"));

commands.spawn((
    SceneRoot(model_scene),
    Transform::from_xyz(-4.0, 0.0, -3.0),
));
```

Fixing text sizes for examples ()
# Objective

- Fixes 

## Solution

- Go through Pixel Eagle examples (and examples all in all)
- If default size is used it is usually left there
- If size of font is touched try dividing with 1.2 and round it to
nearest whole number

## Testing

- Run example before and after
- Make sure examples text are readable or like before cosmic-text change

Fix TypeRegistry use in dynamic scene ()
Adopted from and closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9914 by
@djeedai


# Objective
Fix the use of `TypeRegistry` instead of `TypeRegistryArc` in dynamic
scene and its serializer.

Rename `DynamicScene::serialize_ron()` into `serialize()` to highlight
the fact this is not about serializing to RON specifically, but rather
about serializing to the official Bevy scene format (`.scn` /
`.scn.ron`) which the `SceneLoader` can deserialize (and which happens
to be based in RON, but that not the object here). Also make the link
with the documentation of `SceneLoader` so users understand the full
serializing cycle of a Bevy dynamic scene.

Document `SceneSerializer` with an example showing how to serialize to a
custom format (here: RON), which is easily transposed to serializing
into any other format.

Fixes 
 
## Changelog
### Changed
* `SceneSerializer` and all related serializing helper types now take a
`&TypeRegistry` instead of a `&TypeRegistryArc`. ([SceneSerializer
needlessly uses specifically
&TypeRegistryArc #9520](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/9520))
* `DynamicScene::serialize_ron()` was renamed to `serialize()`.
 
## Migration Guide
* `SceneSerializer` and all related serializing helper types now take a
`&TypeRegistry` instead of a `&TypeRegistryArc`. You can upgrade by
getting the former from the latter with `TypeRegistryArc::read()`,
_e.g._
  ```diff
    let registry_arc: TypeRegistryArc = [...];
  - let serializer = SceneSerializer(&scene, &registry_arc);
  + let registry = registry_arc.read();
  + let serializer = SceneSerializer(&scene, &registry);
  ```
* Rename `DynamicScene::serialize_ron()` to `serialize()`.

reflect: treat proxy types correctly when serializing ()
# Objective

- Fixes .
- Note this PR doesn't change any feature flags, however flaky the issue
revealed they are.

## Solution

- Use `FromReflect` to convert proxy types to concrete ones in
`ReflectSerialize::get_serializable`.
- Use `get_represented_type_info() -> type_id()` to get the correct type
id to interact with the registry in
`bevy_reflect::serde::ser::get_serializable`.

---

## Changelog

- Registering `ReflectSerialize` now imposes additional `FromReflect`
and `TypePath` bounds.

## Migration Guide

- If `ReflectSerialize` is registered on a type, but `TypePath` or
`FromReflect` implementations are omitted (perhaps by
`#[reflect(type_path = false)` or `#[reflect(from_reflect = false)]`),
the traits must now be implemented.

Add ReflectFromWorld and replace the FromWorld requirement on ReflectComponent and ReflectBundle with FromReflect ()
# Objective

- `FromType<T>` for `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` currently
require `T: FromWorld` for two reasons:
    - they include a `from_world` method;
- they create dummy `T`s using `FromWorld` and then `apply` a `&dyn
Reflect` to it to simulate `FromReflect`.
- However `FromWorld`/`Default` may be difficult/weird/impractical to
implement, while `FromReflect` is easier and also more natural for the
job.
- See also
https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1146022009554337792

## Solution

- Split `from_world` from `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` into
its own `ReflectFromWorld` struct.
- Replace the requirement on `FromWorld` in `ReflectComponent` and
`ReflectBundle` with `FromReflect`

---

## Changelog

- `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle` no longer offer a `from_world`
method.
- `ReflectComponent` and `ReflectBundle`'s `FromType<T>` implementation
no longer requires `T: FromWorld`, but now requires `FromReflect`.
- `ReflectComponent::insert`, `ReflectComponent::apply_or_insert` and
`ReflectComponent::copy` now take an extra `&TypeRegistry` parameter.
- There is now a new `ReflectFromWorld` struct.

## Migration Guide

- Existing uses of `ReflectComponent::from_world` and
`ReflectBundle::from_world` will have to be changed to
`ReflectFromWorld::from_world`.
- Users of `#[reflect(Component)]` and `#[reflect(Bundle)]` will need to
also implement/derive `FromReflect`.
- Users of `#[reflect(Component)]` and `#[reflect(Bundle)]` may now want
to also add `FromWorld` to the list of reflected traits in case their
`FromReflect` implementation may fail.
- Users of `ReflectComponent` will now need to pass a `&TypeRegistry` to
its `insert`, `apply_or_insert` and `copy` methods.

Mention DynamicSceneBuilder in scene example ()
# Objective

Make ```DynamicSceneBuilder``` more visible to new bevy learners!
```DynamicSceneBuilder``` is likely to be the most appropriate tool to use when creating dynamic scenes in all but the simplest scenarios. However, it's not mentioned in the scene example. This PR aims to fix this.

## Solution

I've modified the comment above where the ```DynamicScene``` is created to note that ```DynamicSceneBuilder``` can also be used to create the scene. I believe this is the best approach to introduce ```DynamicSceneBuilder``` without adding additional complexity to the example.

Update default ClearColor to better match Bevy's branding ()
# Objective

- Changes the default clear color to match the code block color on
Bevy's website.

## Solution

- Changed the clear color, updated text in examples to ensure adequate
contrast. Inconsistent usage of white text color set to use the default
color instead, which is already white.
- Additionally, updated the `3d_scene` example to make it look a bit
better, and use bevy's branding colors.

Multiple Asset Sources ()
This adds support for **Multiple Asset Sources**. You can now register a
named `AssetSource`, which you can load assets from like you normally
would:

```rust
let shader: Handle<Shader> = asset_server.load("custom_source://path/to/shader.wgsl");
```

Notice that `AssetPath` now supports `some_source://` syntax. This can
now be accessed through the `asset_path.source()` accessor.

Asset source names _are not required_. If one is not specified, the
default asset source will be used:

```rust
let shader: Handle<Shader> = asset_server.load("path/to/shader.wgsl");
```

The behavior of the default asset source has not changed. Ex: the
`assets` folder is still the default.

As referenced in 

## Why?

**Multiple Asset Sources** enables a number of often-asked-for
scenarios:

* **Loading some assets from other locations on disk**: you could create
a `config` asset source that reads from the OS-default config folder
(not implemented in this PR)
* **Loading some assets from a remote server**: you could register a new
`remote` asset source that reads some assets from a remote http server
(not implemented in this PR)
* **Improved "Binary Embedded" Assets**: we can use this system for
"embedded-in-binary assets", which allows us to replace the old
`load_internal_asset!` approach, which couldn't support asset
processing, didn't support hot-reloading _well_, and didn't make
embedded assets accessible to the `AssetServer` (implemented in this pr)

## Adding New Asset Sources

An `AssetSource` is "just" a collection of `AssetReader`, `AssetWriter`,
and `AssetWatcher` entries. You can configure new asset sources like
this:

```rust
app.register_asset_source(
    "other",
    AssetSource::build()
        .with_reader(|| Box::new(FileAssetReader::new("other")))
    )
)
```

Note that `AssetSource` construction _must_ be repeatable, which is why
a closure is accepted.
`AssetSourceBuilder` supports `with_reader`, `with_writer`,
`with_watcher`, `with_processed_reader`, `with_processed_writer`, and
`with_processed_watcher`.

Note that the "asset source" system replaces the old "asset providers"
system.

## Processing Multiple Sources

The `AssetProcessor` now supports multiple asset sources! Processed
assets can refer to assets in other sources and everything "just works".
Each `AssetSource` defines an unprocessed and processed `AssetReader` /
`AssetWriter`.

Currently this is all or nothing for a given `AssetSource`. A given
source is either processed or it is not. Later we might want to add
support for "lazy asset processing", where an `AssetSource` (such as a
remote server) can be configured to only process assets that are
directly referenced by local assets (in order to save local disk space
and avoid doing extra work).

## A new `AssetSource`: `embedded`

One of the big features motivating **Multiple Asset Sources** was
improving our "embedded-in-binary" asset loading. To prove out the
**Multiple Asset Sources** implementation, I chose to build a new
`embedded` `AssetSource`, which replaces the old `load_interal_asset!`
system.

The old `load_internal_asset!` approach had a number of issues:

* The `AssetServer` was not aware of (or capable of loading) internal
assets.
* Because internal assets weren't visible to the `AssetServer`, they
could not be processed (or used by assets that are processed). This
would prevent things "preprocessing shaders that depend on built in Bevy
shaders", which is something we desperately need to start doing.
* Each "internal asset" needed a UUID to be defined in-code to reference
it. This was very manual and toilsome.

The new `embedded` `AssetSource` enables the following pattern:

```rust
// Called in `crates/bevy_pbr/src/render/mesh.rs`
embedded_asset!(app, "mesh.wgsl");

// later in the app
let shader: Handle<Shader> = asset_server.load("embedded://bevy_pbr/render/mesh.wgsl");
```

Notice that this always treats the crate name as the "root path", and it
trims out the `src` path for brevity. This is generally predictable, but
if you need to debug you can use the new `embedded_path!` macro to get a
`PathBuf` that matches the one used by `embedded_asset`.

You can also reference embedded assets in arbitrary assets, such as WGSL
shaders:

```rust
#import "embedded://bevy_pbr/render/mesh.wgsl"
```

This also makes `embedded` assets go through the "normal" asset
lifecycle. They are only loaded when they are actually used!

We are also discussing implicitly converting asset paths to/from shader
modules, so in the future (not in this PR) you might be able to load it
like this:

```rust
#import bevy_pbr::render::mesh::Vertex
```

Compare that to the old system!

```rust
pub const MESH_SHADER_HANDLE: Handle<Shader> = Handle::weak_from_u128(3252377289100772450);

load_internal_asset!(app, MESH_SHADER_HANDLE, "mesh.wgsl", Shader::from_wgsl);

// The mesh asset is the _only_ accessible via MESH_SHADER_HANDLE and _cannot_ be loaded via the AssetServer.
```

## Hot Reloading `embedded`

You can enable `embedded` hot reloading by enabling the
`embedded_watcher` cargo feature:

```
cargo run --features=embedded_watcher
```

## Improved Hot Reloading Workflow

First: the `filesystem_watcher` cargo feature has been renamed to
`file_watcher` for brevity (and to match the `FileAssetReader` naming
convention).

More importantly, hot asset reloading is no longer configured in-code by
default. If you enable any asset watcher feature (such as `file_watcher`
or `rust_source_watcher`), asset watching will be automatically enabled.

This removes the need to _also_ enable hot reloading in your app code.
That means you can replace this:

```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::default().watch_for_changes()))
```

with this:

```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
```

If you want to hot reload assets in your app during development, just
run your app like this:

```
cargo run --features=file_watcher
```

This means you can use the same code for development and deployment! To
deploy an app, just don't include the watcher feature

```
cargo build --release
```

My intent is to move to this approach for pretty much all dev workflows.
In a future PR I would like to replace `AssetMode::ProcessedDev` with a
`runtime-processor` cargo feature. We could then group all common "dev"
cargo features under a single `dev` feature:

```sh
# this would enable file_watcher, embedded_watcher, runtime-processor, and more
cargo run --features=dev
```

## AssetMode

`AssetPlugin::Unprocessed`, `AssetPlugin::Processed`, and
`AssetPlugin::ProcessedDev` have been replaced with an `AssetMode` field
on `AssetPlugin`.

```rust
// before 
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::Processed { /* fields here */ })

// after 
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin { mode: AssetMode::Processed, ..default() })
```

This aligns `AssetPlugin` with our other struct-like plugins. The old
"source" and "destination" `AssetProvider` fields in the enum variants
have been replaced by the "asset source" system. You no longer need to
configure the AssetPlugin to "point" to custom asset providers.

## AssetServerMode

To improve the implementation of **Multiple Asset Sources**,
`AssetServer` was made aware of whether or not it is using "processed"
or "unprocessed" assets. You can check that like this:

```rust
if asset_server.mode() == AssetServerMode::Processed {
    /* do something */
}
```

Note that this refactor should also prepare the way for building "one to
many processed output files", as it makes the server aware of whether it
is loading from processed or unprocessed sources. Meaning we can store
and read processed and unprocessed assets differently!

## AssetPath can now refer to folders

The "file only" restriction has been removed from `AssetPath`. The
`AssetServer::load_folder` API now accepts an `AssetPath` instead of a
`Path`, meaning you can load folders from other asset sources!

## Improved AssetPath Parsing

AssetPath parsing was reworked to support sources, improve error
messages, and to enable parsing with a single pass over the string.
`AssetPath::new` was replaced by `AssetPath::parse` and
`AssetPath::try_parse`.

## AssetWatcher broken out from AssetReader

`AssetReader` is no longer responsible for constructing `AssetWatcher`.
This has been moved to `AssetSourceBuilder`.


## Duplicate Event Debouncing

Asset V2 already debounced duplicate filesystem events, but this was
_input_ events. Multiple input event types can produce the same _output_
`AssetSourceEvent`. Now that we have `embedded_watcher`, which does
expensive file io on events, it made sense to debounce output events
too, so I added that! This will also benefit the AssetProcessor by
preventing integrity checks for duplicate events (and helps keep the
noise down in trace logs).

## Next Steps

* **Port Built-in Shaders**: Currently the primary (and essentially
only) user of `load_interal_asset` in Bevy's source code is "built-in
shaders". I chose not to do that in this PR for a few reasons:
1. We need to add the ability to pass shader defs in to shaders via meta
files. Some shaders (such as MESH_VIEW_TYPES) need to pass shader def
values in that are defined in code.
2. We need to revisit the current shader module naming system. I think
we _probably_ want to imply modules from source structure (at least by
default). Ideally in a way that can losslessly convert asset paths
to/from shader modules (to enable the asset system to resolve modules
using the asset server).
  3. I want to keep this change set minimal / get this merged first.
* **Deprecate `load_internal_asset`**: we can't do that until we do (1)
and (2)
* **Relative Asset Paths**: This PR significantly increases the need for
relative asset paths (which was already pretty high). Currently when
loading dependencies, it is assumed to be an absolute path, which means
if in an `AssetLoader` you call `context.load("some/path/image.png")` it
will assume that is the "default" asset source, _even if the current
asset is in a different asset source_. This will cause breakage for
AssetLoaders that are not designed to add the current source to whatever
paths are being used. AssetLoaders should generally not need to be aware
of the name of their current asset source, or need to think about the
"current asset source" generally. We should build apis that support
relative asset paths and then encourage using relative paths as much as
possible (both via api design and docs). Relative paths are also
important because they will allow developers to move folders around
(even across providers) without reprocessing, provided there is no path
breakage.

Bevy Asset V2 ()
# Bevy Asset V2 Proposal

## Why Does Bevy Need A New Asset System?

Asset pipelines are a central part of the gamedev process. Bevy's
current asset system is missing a number of features that make it
non-viable for many classes of gamedev. After plenty of discussions and
[a long community feedback
period](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/3972), we've
identified a number missing features:

* **Asset Preprocessing**: it should be possible to "preprocess" /
"compile" / "crunch" assets at "development time" rather than when the
game starts up. This enables offloading expensive work from deployed
apps, faster asset loading, less runtime memory usage, etc.
* **Per-Asset Loader Settings**: Individual assets cannot define their
own loaders that override the defaults. Additionally, they cannot
provide per-asset settings to their loaders. This is a huge limitation,
as many asset types don't provide all information necessary for Bevy
_inside_ the asset. For example, a raw PNG image says nothing about how
it should be sampled (ex: linear vs nearest).
* **Asset `.meta` files**: assets should have configuration files stored
adjacent to the asset in question, which allows the user to configure
asset-type-specific settings. These settings should be accessible during
the pre-processing phase. Modifying a `.meta` file should trigger a
re-processing / re-load of the asset. It should be possible to configure
asset loaders from the meta file.
* **Processed Asset Hot Reloading**: Changes to processed assets (or
their dependencies) should result in re-processing them and re-loading
the results in live Bevy Apps.
* **Asset Dependency Tracking**: The current bevy_asset has no good way
to wait for asset dependencies to load. It punts this as an exercise for
consumers of the loader apis, which is unreasonable and error prone.
There should be easy, ergonomic ways to wait for assets to load and
block some logic on an asset's entire dependency tree loading.
* **Runtime Asset Loading**: it should be (optionally) possible to load
arbitrary assets dynamically at runtime. This necessitates being able to
deploy and run the asset server alongside Bevy Apps on _all platforms_.
For example, we should be able to invoke the shader compiler at runtime,
stream scenes from sources like the internet, etc. To keep deployed
binaries (and startup times) small, the runtime asset server
configuration should be configurable with different settings compared to
the "pre processor asset server".
* **Multiple Backends**: It should be possible to load assets from
arbitrary sources (filesystems, the internet, remote asset serves, etc).
* **Asset Packing**: It should be possible to deploy assets in
compressed "packs", which makes it easier and more efficient to
distribute assets with Bevy Apps.
* **Asset Handoff**: It should be possible to hold a "live" asset
handle, which correlates to runtime data, without actually holding the
asset in memory. Ex: it must be possible to hold a reference to a GPU
mesh generated from a "mesh asset" without keeping the mesh data in CPU
memory
* **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: Different platforms and app
distributions have different capabilities and requirements. Some
platforms need lower asset resolutions or different asset formats to
operate within the hardware constraints of the platform. It should be
possible to define per-platform asset processing profiles. And it should
be possible to deploy only the assets required for a given platform.

These features have architectural implications that are significant
enough to require a full rewrite. The current Bevy Asset implementation
got us this far, but it can take us no farther. This PR defines a brand
new asset system that implements most of these features, while laying
the foundations for the remaining features to be built.

## Bevy Asset V2

Here is a quick overview of the features introduced in this PR.
* **Asset Preprocessing**: Preprocess assets at development time into
more efficient (and configurable) representations
* **Dependency Aware**: Dependencies required to process an asset are
tracked. If an asset's processed dependency changes, it will be
reprocessed
* **Hot Reprocessing/Reloading**: detect changes to asset source files,
reprocess them if they have changed, and then hot-reload them in Bevy
Apps.
* **Only Process Changes**: Assets are only re-processed when their
source file (or meta file) has changed. This uses hashing and timestamps
to avoid processing assets that haven't changed.
* **Transactional and Reliable**: Uses write-ahead logging (a technique
commonly used by databases) to recover from crashes / forced-exits.
Whenever possible it avoids full-reprocessing / only uncompleted
transactions will be reprocessed. When the processor is running in
parallel with a Bevy App, processor asset writes block Bevy App asset
reads. Reading metadata + asset bytes is guaranteed to be transactional
/ correctly paired.
* **Portable / Run anywhere / Database-free**: The processor does not
rely on an in-memory database (although it uses some database techniques
for reliability). This is important because pretty much all in-memory
databases have unsupported platforms or build complications.
* **Configure Processor Defaults Per File Type**: You can say "use this
processor for all files of this type".
* **Custom Processors**: The `Processor` trait is flexible and
unopinionated. It can be implemented by downstream plugins.
* **LoadAndSave Processors**: Most asset processing scenarios can be
expressed as "run AssetLoader A, save the results using AssetSaver X,
and then load the result using AssetLoader B". For example, load this
png image using `PngImageLoader`, which produces an `Image` asset and
then save it using `CompressedImageSaver` (which also produces an
`Image` asset, but in a compressed format), which takes an `Image` asset
as input. This means if you have an `AssetLoader` for an asset, you are
already half way there! It also means that you can share AssetSavers
across multiple loaders. Because `CompressedImageSaver` accepts Bevy's
generic Image asset as input, it means you can also use it with some
future `JpegImageLoader`.
* **Loader and Saver Settings**: Asset Loaders and Savers can now define
their own settings types, which are passed in as input when an asset is
loaded / saved. Each asset can define its own settings.
* **Asset `.meta` files**: configure asset loaders, their settings,
enable/disable processing, and configure processor settings
* **Runtime Asset Dependency Tracking** Runtime asset dependencies (ex:
if an asset contains a `Handle<Image>`) are tracked by the asset server.
An event is emitted when an asset and all of its dependencies have been
loaded
* **Unprocessed Asset Loading**: Assets do not require preprocessing.
They can be loaded directly. A processed asset is just a "normal" asset
with some extra metadata. Asset Loaders don't need to know or care about
whether or not an asset was processed.
* **Async Asset IO**: Asset readers/writers use async non-blocking
interfaces. Note that because Rust doesn't yet support async traits,
there is a bit of manual Boxing / Future boilerplate. This will
hopefully be removed in the near future when Rust gets async traits.
* **Pluggable Asset Readers and Writers**: Arbitrary asset source
readers/writers are supported, both by the processor and the asset
server.
* **Better Asset Handles**
* **Single Arc Tree**: Asset Handles now use a single arc tree that
represents the lifetime of the asset. This makes their implementation
simpler, more efficient, and allows us to cheaply attach metadata to
handles. Ex: the AssetPath of a handle is now directly accessible on the
handle itself!
* **Const Typed Handles**: typed handles can be constructed in a const
context. No more weird "const untyped converted to typed at runtime"
patterns!
* **Handles and Ids are Smaller / Faster To Hash / Compare**: Typed
`Handle<T>` is now much smaller in memory and `AssetId<T>` is even
smaller.
* **Weak Handle Usage Reduction**: In general Handles are now considered
to be "strong". Bevy features that previously used "weak `Handle<T>`"
have been ported to `AssetId<T>`, which makes it statically clear that
the features do not hold strong handles (while retaining strong type
information). Currently Handle::Weak still exists, but it is very
possible that we can remove that entirely.
* **Efficient / Dense Asset Ids**: Assets now have efficient dense
runtime asset ids, which means we can avoid expensive hash lookups.
Assets are stored in Vecs instead of HashMaps. There are now typed and
untyped ids, which means we no longer need to store dynamic type
information in the ID for typed handles. "AssetPathId" (which was a
nightmare from a performance and correctness standpoint) has been
entirely removed in favor of dense ids (which are retrieved for a path
on load)
* **Direct Asset Loading, with Dependency Tracking**: Assets that are
defined at runtime can still have their dependencies tracked by the
Asset Server (ex: if you create a material at runtime, you can still
wait for its textures to load). This is accomplished via the (currently
optional) "asset dependency visitor" trait. This system can also be used
to define a set of assets to load, then wait for those assets to load.
* **Async folder loading**: Folder loading also uses this system and
immediately returns a handle to the LoadedFolder asset, which means
folder loading no longer blocks on directory traversals.
* **Improved Loader Interface**: Loaders now have a specific "top level
asset type", which makes returning the top-level asset simpler and
statically typed.
* **Basic Image Settings and Processing**: Image assets can now be
processed into the gpu-friendly Basic Universal format. The ImageLoader
now has a setting to define what format the image should be loaded as.
Note that this is just a minimal MVP ... plenty of additional work to do
here. To demo this, enable the `basis-universal` feature and turn on
asset processing.
* **Simpler Audio Play / AudioSink API**: Asset handle providers are
cloneable, which means the Audio resource can mint its own handles. This
means you can now do `let sink_handle = audio.play(music)` instead of
`let sink_handle = audio_sinks.get_handle(audio.play(music))`. Note that
this might still be replaced by
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8424.
**Removed Handle Casting From Engine Features**: Ex: FontAtlases no
longer use casting between handle types

## Using The New Asset System

### Normal Unprocessed Asset Loading

By default the `AssetPlugin` does not use processing. It behaves pretty
much the same way as the old system.

If you are defining a custom asset, first derive `Asset`:

```rust
#[derive(Asset)]
struct Thing {
    value: String,
}
```

Initialize the asset:
```rust
app.init_asset:<Thing>()
```

Implement a new `AssetLoader` for it:

```rust
#[derive(Default)]
struct ThingLoader;

#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Default)]
pub struct ThingSettings {
    some_setting: bool,
}

impl AssetLoader for ThingLoader {
    type Asset = Thing;
    type Settings = ThingSettings;

    fn load<'a>(
        &'a self,
        reader: &'a mut Reader,
        settings: &'a ThingSettings,
        load_context: &'a mut LoadContext,
    ) -> BoxedFuture<'a, Result<Thing, anyhow::Error>> {
        Box::pin(async move {
            let mut bytes = Vec::new();
            reader.read_to_end(&mut bytes).await?;
            // convert bytes to value somehow
            Ok(Thing {
                value 
            })
        })
    }

    fn extensions(&self) -> &[&str] {
        &["thing"]
    }
}
```

Note that this interface will get much cleaner once Rust gets support
for async traits. `Reader` is an async futures_io::AsyncRead. You can
stream bytes as they come in or read them all into a `Vec<u8>`,
depending on the context. You can use `let handle =
load_context.load(path)` to kick off a dependency load, retrieve a
handle, and register the dependency for the asset.

Then just register the loader in your Bevy app:

```rust
app.init_asset_loader::<ThingLoader>()
```

Now just add your `Thing` asset files into the `assets` folder and load
them like this:

```rust
fn system(asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
    let handle = Handle<Thing> = asset_server.load("cool.thing");
}
```

You can check load states directly via the asset server:

```rust
if asset_server.load_state(&handle) == LoadState::Loaded { }
```

You can also listen for events:

```rust
fn system(mut events: EventReader<AssetEvent<Thing>>, handle: Res<SomeThingHandle>) {
    for event in events.iter() {
        if event.is_loaded_with_dependencies(&handle) {
        }
    }
}
```

Note the new `AssetEvent::LoadedWithDependencies`, which only fires when
the asset is loaded _and_ all dependencies (and their dependencies) have
loaded.

Unlike the old asset system, for a given asset path all `Handle<T>`
values point to the same underlying Arc. This means Handles can cheaply
hold more asset information, such as the AssetPath:

```rust
// prints the AssetPath of the handle
info!("{:?}", handle.path())
```

### Processed Assets

Asset processing can be enabled via the `AssetPlugin`. When developing
Bevy Apps with processed assets, do this:

```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev()))
```

This runs the `AssetProcessor` in the background with hot-reloading. It
reads assets from the `assets` folder, processes them, and writes them
to the `.imported_assets` folder. Asset loads in the Bevy App will wait
for a processed version of the asset to become available. If an asset in
the `assets` folder changes, it will be reprocessed and hot-reloaded in
the Bevy App.

When deploying processed Bevy apps, do this:

```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed()))
```

This does not run the `AssetProcessor` in the background. It behaves
like `AssetPlugin::unprocessed()`, but reads assets from
`.imported_assets`.

When the `AssetProcessor` is running, it will populate sibling `.meta`
files for assets in the `assets` folder. Meta files for assets that do
not have a processor configured look like this:

```rust
(
    meta_format_version: "1.0",
    asset: Load(
        loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader",
        settings: (
            format: FromExtension,
        ),
    ),
)
```

This is metadata for an image asset. For example, if you have
`assets/my_sprite.png`, this could be the metadata stored at
`assets/my_sprite.png.meta`. Meta files are totally optional. If no
metadata exists, the default settings will be used.

In short, this file says "load this asset with the ImageLoader and use
the file extension to determine the image type". This type of meta file
is supported in all AssetPlugin modes. If in `Unprocessed` mode, the
asset (with the meta settings) will be loaded directly. If in
`ProcessedDev` mode, the asset file will be copied directly to the
`.imported_assets` folder. The meta will also be copied directly to the
`.imported_assets` folder, but with one addition:

```rust
(
    meta_format_version: "1.0",
    processed_info: Some((
        hash: 12415480888597742505,
        full_hash: 14344495437905856884,
        process_dependencies: [],
    )),
    asset: Load(
        loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader",
        settings: (
            format: FromExtension,
        ),
    ),
)
```

`processed_info` contains `hash` (a direct hash of the asset and meta
bytes), `full_hash` (a hash of `hash` and the hashes of all
`process_dependencies`), and `process_dependencies` (the `path` and
`full_hash` of every process_dependency). A "process dependency" is an
asset dependency that is _directly_ used when processing the asset.
Images do not have process dependencies, so this is empty.

When the processor is enabled, you can use the `Process` metadata
config:

```rust
(
    meta_format_version: "1.0",
    asset: Process(
        processor: "bevy_asset::processor::process::LoadAndSave<bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader, bevy_render::texture::compressed_image_saver::CompressedImageSaver>",
        settings: (
            loader_settings: (
                format: FromExtension,
            ),
            saver_settings: (
                generate_mipmaps: true,
            ),
        ),
    ),
)
```

This configures the asset to use the `LoadAndSave` processor, which runs
an AssetLoader and feeds the result into an AssetSaver (which saves the
given Asset and defines a loader to load it with). (for terseness
LoadAndSave will likely get a shorter/friendlier type name when [Stable
Type Paths]() lands). `LoadAndSave` is likely to be the most common
processor type, but arbitrary processors are supported.

`CompressedImageSaver` saves an `Image` in the Basis Universal format
and configures the ImageLoader to load it as basis universal. The
`AssetProcessor` will read this meta, run it through the LoadAndSave
processor, and write the basis-universal version of the image to
`.imported_assets`. The final metadata will look like this:

```rust
(
    meta_format_version: "1.0",
    processed_info: Some((
        hash: 905599590923828066,
        full_hash: 9948823010183819117,
        process_dependencies: [],
    )),
    asset: Load(
        loader: "bevy_render::texture::image_loader::ImageLoader",
        settings: (
            format: Format(Basis),
        ),
    ),
)
```

To try basis-universal processing out in Bevy examples, (for example
`sprite.rs`), change `add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)` to
`add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin::processed_dev()))` and run
with the `basis-universal` feature enabled: `cargo run
--features=basis-universal --example sprite`.

To create a custom processor, there are two main paths:
1. Use the `LoadAndSave` processor with an existing `AssetLoader`.
Implement the `AssetSaver` trait, register the processor using
`asset_processor.register_processor::<LoadAndSave<ImageLoader,
CompressedImageSaver>>(image_saver.into())`.
2. Implement the `Process` trait directly and register it using:
`asset_processor.register_processor(thing_processor)`.

You can configure default processors for file extensions like this:

```rust
asset_processor.set_default_processor::<ThingProcessor>("thing")
```

There is one more metadata type to be aware of:

```rust
(
    meta_format_version: "1.0",
    asset: Ignore,
)
```

This will ignore the asset during processing / prevent it from being
written to `.imported_assets`.

The AssetProcessor stores a transaction log at `.imported_assets/log`
and uses it to gracefully recover from unexpected stops. This means you
can force-quit the processor (and Bevy Apps running the processor in
parallel) at arbitrary times!

`.imported_assets` is "local state". It should _not_ be checked into
source control. It should also be considered "read only". In practice,
you _can_ modify processed assets and processed metadata if you really
need to test something. But those modifications will not be represented
in the hashes of the assets, so the processed state will be "out of
sync" with the source assets. The processor _will not_ fix this for you.
Either revert the change after you have tested it, or delete the
processed files so they can be re-populated.

## Open Questions

There are a number of open questions to be discussed. We should decide
if they need to be addressed in this PR and if so, how we will address
them:

### Implied Dependencies vs Dependency Enumeration

There are currently two ways to populate asset dependencies:
* **Implied via AssetLoaders**: if an AssetLoader loads an asset (and
retrieves a handle), a dependency is added to the list.
* **Explicit via the optional Asset::visit_dependencies**: if
`server.load_asset(my_asset)` is called, it will call
`my_asset.visit_dependencies`, which will grab dependencies that have
been manually defined for the asset via the Asset trait impl (which can
be derived).

This means that defining explicit dependencies is optional for "loaded
assets". And the list of dependencies is always accurate because loaders
can only produce Handles if they register dependencies. If an asset was
loaded with an AssetLoader, it only uses the implied dependencies. If an
asset was created at runtime and added with
`asset_server.load_asset(MyAsset)`, it will use
`Asset::visit_dependencies`.

However this can create a behavior mismatch between loaded assets and
equivalent "created at runtime" assets if `Assets::visit_dependencies`
doesn't exactly match the dependencies produced by the AssetLoader. This
behavior mismatch can be resolved by completely removing "implied loader
dependencies" and requiring `Asset::visit_dependencies` to supply
dependency data. But this creates two problems:
* It makes defining loaded assets harder and more error prone: Devs must
remember to manually annotate asset dependencies with `#[dependency]`
when deriving `Asset`. For more complicated assets (such as scenes), the
derive likely wouldn't be sufficient and a manual `visit_dependencies`
impl would be required.
* Removes the ability to immediately kick off dependency loads: When
AssetLoaders retrieve a Handle, they also immediately kick off an asset
load for the handle, which means it can start loading in parallel
_before_ the asset finishes loading. For large assets, this could be
significant. (although this could be mitigated for processed assets if
we store dependencies in the processed meta file and load them ahead of
time)

### Eager ProcessorDev Asset Loading

I made a controversial call in the interest of fast startup times ("time
to first pixel") for the "processor dev mode configuration". When
initializing the AssetProcessor, current processed versions of unchanged
assets are yielded immediately, even if their dependencies haven't been
checked yet for reprocessing. This means that
non-current-state-of-filesystem-but-previously-valid assets might be
returned to the App first, then hot-reloaded if/when their dependencies
change and the asset is reprocessed.

Is this behavior desirable? There is largely one alternative: do not
yield an asset from the processor to the app until all of its
dependencies have been checked for changes. In some common cases (load
dependency has not changed since last run) this will increase startup
time. The main question is "by how much" and is that slower startup time
worth it in the interest of only yielding assets that are true to the
current state of the filesystem. Should this be configurable? I'm
starting to think we should only yield an asset after its (historical)
dependencies have been checked for changes + processed as necessary, but
I'm curious what you all think.

### Paths Are Currently The Only Canonical ID / Do We Want Asset UUIDs?

In this implementation AssetPaths are the only canonical asset
identifier (just like the previous Bevy Asset system and Godot). Moving
assets will result in re-scans (and currently reprocessing, although
reprocessing can easily be avoided with some changes). Asset
renames/moves will break code and assets that rely on specific paths,
unless those paths are fixed up.

Do we want / need "stable asset uuids"? Introducing them is very
possible:
1. Generate a UUID and include it in .meta files
2. Support UUID in AssetPath
3. Generate "asset indices" which are loaded on startup and map UUIDs to
paths.
4 (maybe). Consider only supporting UUIDs for processed assets so we can
generate quick-to-load indices instead of scanning meta files.

The main "pro" is that assets referencing UUIDs don't need to be
migrated when a path changes. The main "con" is that UUIDs cannot be
"lazily resolved" like paths. They need a full view of all assets to
answer the question "does this UUID exist". Which means UUIDs require
the AssetProcessor to fully finish startup scans before saying an asset
doesnt exist. And they essentially require asset pre-processing to use
in apps, because scanning all asset metadata files at runtime to resolve
a UUID is not viable for medium-to-large apps. It really requires a
pre-generated UUID index, which must be loaded before querying for
assets.

I personally think this should be investigated in a separate PR. Paths
aren't going anywhere ... _everyone_ uses filesystems (and
filesystem-like apis) to manage their asset source files. I consider
them permanent canonical asset information. Additionally, they behave
well for both processed and unprocessed asset modes. Given that Bevy is
supporting both, this feels like the right canonical ID to start with.
UUIDS (and maybe even other indexed-identifier types) can be added later
as necessary.

### Folder / File Naming Conventions

All asset processing config currently lives in the `.imported_assets`
folder. The processor transaction log is in `.imported_assets/log`.
Processed assets are added to `.imported_assets/Default`, which will
make migrating to processed asset profiles (ex: a
`.imported_assets/Mobile` profile) a non-breaking change. It also allows
us to create top-level files like `.imported_assets/log` without it
being interpreted as an asset. Meta files currently have a `.meta`
suffix. Do we like these names and conventions?

### Should the `AssetPlugin::processed_dev` configuration enable
`watch_for_changes` automatically?

Currently it does (which I think makes sense), but it does make it the
only configuration that enables watch_for_changes by default.

### Discuss on_loaded High Level Interface:

This PR includes a very rough "proof of concept" `on_loaded` system
adapter that uses the `LoadedWithDependencies` event in combination with
`asset_server.load_asset` dependency tracking to support this pattern

```rust
fn main() {
    App::new()
        .init_asset::<MyAssets>()
        .add_systems(Update, on_loaded(create_array_texture))
        .run();
}

#[derive(Asset, Clone)]
struct MyAssets {
    #[dependency]
    picture_of_my_cat: Handle<Image>,
    #[dependency]
    picture_of_my_other_cat: Handle<Image>,
}

impl FromWorld for ArrayTexture {
    fn from_world(world: &mut World) -> Self {
        picture_of_my_cat: server.load("meow.png"),
        picture_of_my_other_cat: server.load("meeeeeeeow.png"),
    }
}

fn spawn_cat(In(my_assets): In<MyAssets>, mut commands: Commands) {
    commands.spawn(SpriteBundle {
        texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_cat.clone(),  
        ..default()
    });
    
    commands.spawn(SpriteBundle {
        texture: my_assets.picture_of_my_other_cat.clone(),  
        ..default()
    });
}

```

The implementation is _very_ rough. And it is currently unsafe because
`bevy_ecs` doesn't expose some internals to do this safely from inside
`bevy_asset`. There are plenty of unanswered questions like:
* "do we add a Loadable" derive? (effectively automate the FromWorld
implementation above)
* Should `MyAssets` even be an Asset? (largely implemented this way
because it elegantly builds on `server.load_asset(MyAsset { .. })`
dependency tracking).

We should think hard about what our ideal API looks like (and if this is
a pattern we want to support). Not necessarily something we need to
solve in this PR. The current `on_loaded` impl should probably be
removed from this PR before merging.

## Clarifying Questions

### What about Assets as Entities?

This Bevy Asset V2 proposal implementation initially stored Assets as
ECS Entities. Instead of `AssetId<T>` + the `Assets<T>` resource it used
`Entity` as the asset id and Asset values were just ECS components.
There are plenty of compelling reasons to do this:
1. Easier to inline assets in Bevy Scenes (as they are "just" normal
entities + components)
2. More flexible queries: use the power of the ECS to filter assets (ex:
`Query<Mesh, With<Tree>>`).
3. Extensible. Users can add arbitrary component data to assets.
4. Things like "component visualization tools" work out of the box to
visualize asset data.

However Assets as Entities has a ton of caveats right now:
* We need to be able to allocate entity ids without a direct World
reference (aka rework id allocator in Entities ... i worked around this
in my prototypes by just pre allocating big chunks of entities)
* We want asset change events in addition to ECS change tracking ... how
do we populate them when mutations can come from anywhere? Do we use
Changed queries? This would require iterating over the change data for
all assets every frame. Is this acceptable or should we implement a new
"event based" component change detection option?
* Reconciling manually created assets with asset-system managed assets
has some nuance (ex: are they "loaded" / do they also have that
component metadata?)
* "how do we handle "static" / default entity handles" (ties in to the
Entity Indices discussion:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/8319). This is necessary
for things like "built in" assets and default handles in things like
SpriteBundle.
* Storing asset information as a component makes it easy to "invalidate"
asset state by removing the component (or forcing modifications).
Ideally we have ways to lock this down (some combination of Rust type
privacy and ECS validation)

In practice, how we store and identify assets is a reasonably
superficial change (porting off of Assets as Entities and implementing
dedicated storage + ids took less than a day). So once we sort out the
remaining challenges the flip should be straightforward. Additionally, I
do still have "Assets as Entities" in my commit history, so we can reuse
that work. I personally think "assets as entities" is a good endgame,
but it also doesn't provide _significant_ value at the moment and it
certainly isn't ready yet with the current state of things.

### Why not Distill?

[Distill](https://github.com/amethyst/distill) is a high quality fully
featured asset system built in Rust. It is very natural to ask "why not
just use Distill?".

It is also worth calling out that for awhile, [we planned on adopting
Distill / I signed off on
it](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/708).

However I think Bevy has a number of constraints that make Distill
adoption suboptimal:
* **Architectural Simplicity:**
* Distill's processor requires an in-memory database (lmdb) and RPC
networked API (using Cap'n Proto). Each of these introduces API
complexity that increases maintenance burden and "code grokability".
Ignoring tests, documentation, and examples, Distill has 24,237 lines of
Rust code (including generated code for RPC + database interactions). If
you ignore generated code, it has 11,499 lines.
* Bevy builds the AssetProcessor and AssetServer using pluggable
AssetReader/AssetWriter Rust traits with simple io interfaces. They do
not necessitate databases or RPC interfaces (although Readers/Writers
could use them if that is desired). Bevy Asset V2 (at the time of
writing this PR) is 5,384 lines of Rust code (ignoring tests,
documentation, and examples). Grain of salt: Distill does have more
features currently (ex: Asset Packing, GUIDS, remote-out-of-process
asset processor). I do plan to implement these features in Bevy Asset V2
and I personally highly doubt they will meaningfully close the 6115
lines-of-code gap.
* This complexity gap (which while illustrated by lines of code, is much
bigger than just that) is noteworthy to me. Bevy should be hackable and
there are pillars of Distill that are very hard to understand and
extend. This is a matter of opinion (and Bevy Asset V2 also has
complicated areas), but I think Bevy Asset V2 is much more approachable
for the average developer.
* Necessary disclaimer: counting lines of code is an extremely rough
complexity metric. Read the code and form your own opinions.
* **Optional Asset Processing:** Not all Bevy Apps (or Bevy App
developers) need / want asset preprocessing. Processing increases the
complexity of the development environment by introducing things like
meta files, imported asset storage, running processors in the
background, waiting for processing to finish, etc. Distill _requires_
preprocessing to work. With Bevy Asset V2 processing is fully opt-in.
The AssetServer isn't directly aware of asset processors at all.
AssetLoaders only care about converting bytes to runtime Assets ... they
don't know or care if the bytes were pre-processed or not. Processing is
"elegantly" (forgive my self-congratulatory phrasing) layered on top and
builds on the existing Asset system primitives.
* **Direct Filesystem Access to Processed Asset State:** Distill stores
processed assets in a database. This makes debugging / inspecting the
processed outputs harder (either requires special tooling to query the
database or they need to be "deployed" to be inspected). Bevy Asset V2,
on the other hand, stores processed assets in the filesystem (by default
... this is configurable). This makes interacting with the processed
state more natural. Note that both Godot and Unity's new asset system
store processed assets in the filesystem.
* **Portability**: Because Distill's processor uses lmdb and RPC
networking, it cannot be run on certain platforms (ex: lmdb is a
non-rust dependency that cannot run on the web, some platforms don't
support running network servers). Bevy should be able to process assets
everywhere (ex: run the Bevy Editor on the web, compile + process
shaders on mobile, etc). Distill does partially mitigate this problem by
supporting "streaming" assets via the RPC protocol, but this is not a
full solve from my perspective. And Bevy Asset V2 can (in theory) also
stream assets (without requiring RPC, although this isn't implemented
yet)

Note that I _do_ still think Distill would be a solid asset system for
Bevy. But I think the approach in this PR is a better solve for Bevy's
specific "asset system requirements".

### Doesn't async-fs just shim requests to "sync" `std::fs`? What is the
point?

"True async file io" has limited / spotty platform support. async-fs
(and the rust async ecosystem generally ... ex Tokio) currently use
async wrappers over std::fs that offload blocking requests to separate
threads. This may feel unsatisfying, but it _does_ still provide value
because it prevents our task pools from blocking on file system
operations (which would prevent progress when there are many tasks to
do, but all threads in a pool are currently blocking on file system
ops).

Additionally, using async APIs for our AssetReaders and AssetWriters
also provides value because we can later add support for "true async
file io" for platforms that support it. _And_ we can implement other
"true async io" asset backends (such as networked asset io).

## Draft TODO

- [x] Fill in missing filesystem event APIs: file removed event (which
is expressed as dangling RenameFrom events in some cases), file/folder
renamed event
- [x] Assets without loaders are not moved to the processed folder. This
breaks things like referenced `.bin` files for GLTFs. This should be
configurable per-non-asset-type.
- [x] Initial implementation of Reflect and FromReflect for Handle. The
"deserialization" parity bar is low here as this only worked with static
UUIDs in the old impl ... this is a non-trivial problem. Either we add a
Handle::AssetPath variant that gets "upgraded" to a strong handle on
scene load or we use a separate AssetRef type for Bevy scenes (which is
converted to a runtime Handle on load). This deserves its own discussion
in a different pr.
- [x] Populate read_asset_bytes hash when run by the processor (a bit of
a special case .. when run by the processor the processed meta will
contain the hash so we don't need to compute it on the spot, but we
don't want/need to read the meta when run by the main AssetServer)
- [x] Delay hot reloading: currently filesystem events are handled
immediately, which creates timing issues in some cases. For example hot
reloading images can sometimes break because the image isn't finished
writing. We should add a delay, likely similar to the [implementation in
this PR](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8503).
- [x] Port old platform-specific AssetIo implementations to the new
AssetReader interface (currently missing Android and web)
- [x] Resolve on_loaded unsafety (either by removing the API entirely or
removing the unsafe)
- [x]  Runtime loader setting overrides
- [x] Remove remaining unwraps that should be error-handled. There are
number of TODOs here
- [x] Pretty AssetPath Display impl
- [x] Document more APIs
- [x] Resolve spurious "reloading because it has changed" events (to
repro run load_gltf with `processed_dev()`)
- [x] load_dependency hot reloading currently only works for processed
assets. If processing is disabled, load_dependency changes are not hot
reloaded.
- [x] Replace AssetInfo dependency load/fail counters with
`loading_dependencies: HashSet<UntypedAssetId>` to prevent reloads from
(potentially) breaking counters. Storing this will also enable
"dependency reloaded" events (see [Next Steps](#next-steps))
- [x] Re-add filesystem watcher cargo feature gate (currently it is not
optional)
- [ ] Migration Guide
- [ ] Changelog

## Followup TODO

- [ ] Replace "eager unchanged processed asset loading" behavior with
"don't returned unchanged processed asset until dependencies have been
checked".
- [ ] Add true `Ignore` AssetAction that does not copy the asset to the
imported_assets folder.
- [ ] Finish "live asset unloading" (ex: free up CPU asset memory after
uploading an image to the GPU), rethink RenderAssets, and port renderer
features. The `Assets` collection uses `Option<T>` for asset storage to
support its removal. (1) the Option might not actually be necessary ...
might be able to just remove from the collection entirely (2) need to
finalize removal apis
- [ ] Try replacing the "channel based" asset id recycling with
something a bit more efficient (ex: we might be able to use raw atomic
ints with some cleverness)
- [ ] Consider adding UUIDs to processed assets (scoped just to helping
identify moved assets ... not exposed to load queries ... see [Next
Steps](#next-steps))
- [ ] Store "last modified" source asset and meta timestamps in
processed meta files to enable skipping expensive hashing when the file
wasn't changed
- [ ] Fix "slow loop" handle drop fix 
- [ ] Migrate to TypeName
- [x] Handle "loader preregistration". See 

## Next Steps

* **Configurable per-type defaults for AssetMeta**: It should be
possible to add configuration like "all png image meta should default to
using nearest sampling" (currently this hard-coded per-loader/processor
Settings::default() impls). Also see the "Folder Meta" bullet point.
* **Avoid Reprocessing on Asset Renames / Moves**: See the "canonical
asset ids" discussion in [Open Questions](#open-questions) and the
relevant bullet point in [Draft TODO](#draft-todo). Even without
canonical ids, folder renames could avoid reprocessing in some cases.
* **Multiple Asset Sources**: Expand AssetPath to support "asset source
names" and support multiple AssetReaders in the asset server (ex:
`webserver://some_path/image.png` backed by an Http webserver
AssetReader). The "default" asset reader would use normal
`some_path/image.png` paths. Ideally this works in combination with
multiple AssetWatchers for hot-reloading
* **Stable Type Names**: this pr removes the TypeUuid requirement from
assets in favor of `std::any::type_name`. This makes defining assets
easier (no need to generate a new uuid / use weird proc macro syntax).
It also makes reading meta files easier (because things have "friendly
names"). We also use type names for components in scene files. If they
are good enough for components, they are good enough for assets. And
consistency across Bevy pillars is desirable. However,
`std::any::type_name` is not guaranteed to be stable (although in
practice it is). We've developed a [stable type
path](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/7184) to resolve this,
which should be adopted when it is ready.
* **Command Line Interface**: It should be possible to run the asset
processor in a separate process from the command line. This will also
require building a network-server-backed AssetReader to communicate
between the app and the processor. We've been planning to build a "bevy
cli" for awhile. This seems like a good excuse to build it.
* **Asset Packing**: This is largely an additive feature, so it made
sense to me to punt this until we've laid the foundations in this PR.
* **Per-Platform Processed Assets**: It should be possible to generate
assets for multiple platforms by supporting multiple "processor
profiles" per asset (ex: compress with format X on PC and Y on iOS). I
think there should probably be arbitrary "profiles" (which can be
separate from actual platforms), which are then assigned to a given
platform when generating the final asset distribution for that platform.
Ex: maybe devs want a "Mobile" profile that is shared between iOS and
Android. Or a "LowEnd" profile shared between web and mobile.
* **Versioning and Migrations**: Assets, Loaders, Savers, and Processors
need to have versions to determine if their schema is valid. If an asset
/ loader version is incompatible with the current version expected at
runtime, the processor should be able to migrate them. I think we should
try using Bevy Reflect for this, as it would allow us to load the old
version as a dynamic Reflect type without actually having the old Rust
type. It would also allow us to define "patches" to migrate between
versions (Bevy Reflect devs are currently working on patching). The
`.meta` file already has its own format version. Migrating that to new
versions should also be possible.
* **Real Copy-on-write AssetPaths**: Rust's actual Cow (clone-on-write
type) currently used by AssetPath can still result in String clones that
aren't actually necessary (cloning an Owned Cow clones the contents).
Bevy's asset system requires cloning AssetPaths in a number of places,
which result in actual clones of the internal Strings. This is not
efficient. AssetPath internals should be reworked to exhibit truer
cow-like-behavior that reduces String clones to the absolute minimum.
* **Consider processor-less processing**: In theory the AssetServer
could run processors "inline" even if the background AssetProcessor is
disabled. If we decide this is actually desirable, we could add this.
But I don't think its a priority in the short or medium term.
* **Pre-emptive dependency loading**: We could encode dependencies in
processed meta files, which could then be used by the Asset Server to
kick of dependency loads as early as possible (prior to starting the
actual asset load). Is this desirable? How much time would this save in
practice?
* **Optimize Processor With UntypedAssetIds**: The processor exclusively
uses AssetPath to identify assets currently. It might be possible to
swap these out for UntypedAssetIds in some places, which are smaller /
cheaper to hash and compare.
* **One to Many Asset Processing**: An asset source file that produces
many assets currently must be processed into a single "processed" asset
source. If labeled assets can be written separately they can each have
their own configured savers _and_ they could be loaded more granularly.
Definitely worth exploring!
* **Automatically Track "Runtime-only" Asset Dependencies**: Right now,
tracking "created at runtime" asset dependencies requires adding them
via `asset_server.load_asset(StandardMaterial::default())`. I think with
some cleverness we could also do this for
`materials.add(StandardMaterial::default())`, making tracking work
"everywhere". There are challenges here relating to change detection /
ensuring the server is made aware of dependency changes. This could be
expensive in some cases.
* **"Dependency Changed" events**: Some assets have runtime artifacts
that need to be re-generated when one of their dependencies change (ex:
regenerate a material's bind group when a Texture needs to change). We
are generating the dependency graph so we can definitely produce these
events. Buuuuut generating these events will have a cost / they could be
high frequency for some assets, so we might want this to be opt-in for
specific cases.
* **Investigate Storing More Information In Handles**: Handles can now
store arbitrary information, which makes it cheaper and easier to
access. How much should we move into them? Canonical asset load states
(via atomics)? (`handle.is_loaded()` would be very cool). Should we
store the entire asset and remove the `Assets<T>` collection?
(`Arc<RwLock<Option<Image>>>`?)
* **Support processing and loading files without extensions**: This is a
pretty arbitrary restriction and could be supported with very minimal
changes.
* **Folder Meta**: It would be nice if we could define per folder
processor configuration defaults (likely in a `.meta` or `.folder_meta`
file). Things like "default to linear filtering for all Images in this
folder".
* **Replace async_broadcast with event-listener?** This might be
approximately drop-in for some uses and it feels more light weight
* **Support Running the AssetProcessor on the Web**: Most of the hard
work is done here, but there are some easy straggling TODOs (make the
transaction log an interface instead of a direct file writer so we can
write a web storage backend, implement an AssetReader/AssetWriter that
reads/writes to something like LocalStorage).
* **Consider identifying and preventing circular dependencies**: This is
especially important for "processor dependencies", as processing will
silently never finish in these cases.
* **Built-in/Inlined Asset Hot Reloading**: This PR regresses
"built-in/inlined" asset hot reloading (previously provided by the
DebugAssetServer). I'm intentionally punting this because I think it can
be cleanly implemented with "multiple asset sources" by registering a
"debug asset source" (ex: `debug://bevy_pbr/src/render/pbr.wgsl` asset
paths) in combination with an AssetWatcher for that asset source and
support for "manually loading pats with asset bytes instead of
AssetReaders". The old DebugAssetServer was quite nasty and I'd love to
avoid that hackery going forward.
* **Investigate ways to remove double-parsing meta files**: Parsing meta
files currently involves parsing once with "minimal" versions of the
meta file to extract the type name of the loader/processor config, then
parsing again to parse the "full" meta. This is suboptimal. We should be
able to define custom deserializers that (1) assume the loader/processor
type name comes first (2) dynamically looks up the loader/processor
registrations to deserialize settings in-line (similar to components in
the bevy scene format). Another alternative: deserialize as dynamic
Reflect objects and then convert.
* **More runtime loading configuration**: Support using the Handle type
as a hint to select an asset loader (instead of relying on AssetPath
extensions)
* **More high level Processor trait implementations**: For example, it
might be worth adding support for arbitrary chains of "asset transforms"
that modify an in-memory asset representation between loading and
saving. (ex: load a Mesh, run a `subdivide_mesh` transform, followed by
a `flip_normals` transform, then save the mesh to an efficient
compressed format).
* **Bevy Scene Handle Deserialization**: (see the relevant [Draft TODO
item](#draft-todo) for context)
* **Explore High Level Load Interfaces**: See [this
discussion](#discuss-on_loaded-high-level-interface) for one prototype.
* **Asset Streaming**: It would be great if we could stream Assets (ex:
stream a long video file piece by piece)
* **ID Exchanging**: In this PR Asset Handles/AssetIds are bigger than
they need to be because they have a Uuid enum variant. If we implement
an "id exchanging" system that trades Uuids for "efficient runtime ids",
we can cut down on the size of AssetIds, making them more efficient.
This has some open design questions, such as how to spawn entities with
"default" handle values (as these wouldn't have access to the exchange
api in the current system).
* **Asset Path Fixup Tooling**: Assets that inline asset paths inside
them will break when an asset moves. The asset system provides the
functionality to detect when paths break. We should build a framework
that enables formats to define "path migrations". This is especially
important for scene files. For editor-generated files, we should also
consider using UUIDs (see other bullet point) to avoid the need to
migrate in these cases.

bevy_scene: Add SceneFilter ()
# Objective

Currently, `DynamicScene`s extract all components listed in the given
(or the world's) type registry. This acts as a quasi-filter of sorts.
However, it can be troublesome to use effectively and lacks decent
control.

For example, say you need to serialize only the following component over
the network:

```rust
#[derive(Reflect, Component, Default)]
#[reflect(Component)]
struct NPC {
  name: Option<String>
}
```

To do this, you'd need to:
1. Create a new `AppTypeRegistry`
2. Register `NPC`
3. Register `Option<String>`

If we skip Step 3, then the entire scene might fail to serialize as
`Option<String>` requires registration.

Not only is this annoying and easy to forget, but it can leave users
with an impossible task: serializing a third-party type that contains
private types.

Generally, the third-party crate will register their private types
within a plugin so the user doesn't need to do it themselves. However,
this means we are now unable to serialize _just_ that type— we're forced
to allow everything!

## Solution

Add the `SceneFilter` enum for filtering components to extract.

This filter can be used to optionally allow or deny entire sets of
components/resources. With the `DynamicSceneBuilder`, users have more
control over how their `DynamicScene`s are built.

To only serialize a subset of components, use the `allow` method:
```rust
let scene = builder
  .allow::<ComponentA>()
  .allow::<ComponentB>()
  .extract_entity(entity)
  .build();
```

To serialize everything _but_ a subset of components, use the `deny`
method:
```rust
let scene = builder
  .deny::<ComponentA>()
  .deny::<ComponentB>()
  .extract_entity(entity)
  .build();
```

Or create a custom filter:
```rust
let components = HashSet::from([type_id]);

let filter = SceneFilter::Allowlist(components);
// let filter = SceneFilter::Denylist(components);

let scene = builder
  .with_filter(Some(filter))
  .extract_entity(entity)
  .build();
```

Similar operations exist for resources:

<details>
<summary>View Resource Methods</summary>

To only serialize a subset of resources, use the `allow_resource`
method:
```rust
let scene = builder
  .allow_resource::<ResourceA>()
  .extract_resources()
  .build();
```

To serialize everything _but_ a subset of resources, use the
`deny_resource` method:
```rust
let scene = builder
  .deny_resource::<ResourceA>()
  .extract_resources()
  .build();
```

Or create a custom filter:
```rust
let resources = HashSet::from([type_id]);

let filter = SceneFilter::Allowlist(resources);
// let filter = SceneFilter::Denylist(resources);

let scene = builder
  .with_resource_filter(Some(filter))
  .extract_resources()
  .build();
```

</details>

### Open Questions

- [x] ~~`allow` and `deny` are mutually exclusive. Currently, they
overwrite each other. Should this instead be a panic?~~ Took @soqb's
suggestion and made it so that the opposing method simply removes that
type from the list.
- [x] ~~`DynamicSceneBuilder` extracts entity data as soon as
`extract_entity`/`extract_entities` is called. Should this behavior
instead be moved to the `build` method to prevent ordering mixups (e.g.
`.allow::<Foo>().extract_entity(entity)` vs
`.extract_entity(entity).allow::<Foo>()`)? The tradeoff would be
iterating over the given entities twice: once at extraction and again at
build.~~ Based on the feedback from @Testare it sounds like it might be
better to just keep the current functionality (if anything we can open a
separate PR that adds deferred methods for extraction, so the
choice/performance hit is up to the user).
- [ ] An alternative might be to remove the filter from
`DynamicSceneBuilder` and have it as a separate parameter to the
extraction methods (either in the existing ones or as added
`extract_entity_with_filter`-type methods). Is this preferable?
- [x] ~~Should we include constructors that include common types to
allow/deny? For example, a `SceneFilter::standard_allowlist` that
includes things like `Parent` and `Children`?~~ Consensus suggests we
should. I may split this out into a followup PR, though.
- [x] ~~Should we add the ability to remove types from the filter
regardless of whether an allowlist or denylist (e.g.
`filter.remove::<Foo>()`)?~~ See the first list item
- [x] ~~Should `SceneFilter` be an enum? Would it make more sense as a
struct that contains an `is_denylist` boolean?~~ With the added
`SceneFilter::None` state (replacing the need to wrap in an `Option` or
rely on an empty `Denylist`), it seems an enum is better suited now
- [x] ~~Bikeshed: Do we like the naming convention? Should we instead
use `include`/`exclude` terminology?~~ Sounds like we're sticking with
`allow`/`deny`!
- [x] ~~Does this feature need a new example? Do we simply include it in
the existing one (maybe even as a comment?)? Should this be done in a
followup PR instead?~~ Example will be added in a followup PR

### Followup Tasks

- [ ] Add a dedicated `SceneFilter` example
- [ ] Possibly add default types to the filter (e.g. deny things like
`ComputedVisibility`, allow `Parent`, etc)

---

## Changelog

- Added the `SceneFilter` enum for filtering components and resources
when building a `DynamicScene`
- Added methods:
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::with_filter`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::allow`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::deny`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::allow_all`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::deny_all`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::with_resource_filter`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::allow_resource`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::deny_resource`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::allow_all_resources`
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::deny_all_resources`
- Removed methods:
  - `DynamicSceneBuilder::from_world_with_type_registry`
- `DynamicScene::from_scene` and `DynamicScene::from_world` no longer
require an `AppTypeRegistry` reference

## Migration Guide

- `DynamicScene::from_scene` and `DynamicScene::from_world` no longer
require an `AppTypeRegistry` reference:
  ```rust
  // OLD
  let registry = world.resource::<AppTypeRegistry>();
  let dynamic_scene = DynamicScene::from_world(&world, registry);
  // let dynamic_scene = DynamicScene::from_scene(&scene, registry);
  
  // NEW
  let dynamic_scene = DynamicScene::from_world(&world);
  // let dynamic_scene = DynamicScene::from_scene(&scene);
  ```

- Removed `DynamicSceneBuilder::from_world_with_type_registry`. Now the
registry is automatically taken from the given world:
  ```rust
  // OLD
  let registry = world.resource::<AppTypeRegistry>();
let builder = DynamicSceneBuilder::from_world_with_type_registry(&world,
registry);
  
  // NEW
  let builder = DynamicSceneBuilder::from_world(&world);
  ```

(De) serialize resources in scenes ()
# Objective

Co-Authored-By: davier
[bricedavier@gmail.com](mailto:bricedavier@gmail.com)
Fixes .
Adds a `resources` field in scene serialization data to allow
de/serializing resources that have reflection enabled.

## Solution

Most of this code is taken from a previous closed PR:
https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/3580. Most of the credit goes to
@Davier , what I did was mostly getting it to work on the latest main
branch of Bevy, along with adding a few asserts in the currently
existing tests to be sure everything is working properly.

This PR changes the scene format to include resources in this way:
```
(
  resources: {
    // List of resources here, keyed by resource type name.
  },
  entities: [
    // Previous scene format here
  ],
)
```

An example taken from the tests:
```
(
  resources: {
    "bevy_scene::serde::tests::MyResource": (
      foo: 123,
    ),
  },
  entities: {
    // Previous scene format here
  },
)
```
For this, a `resources` fields has been added on the `DynamicScene` and
the `DynamicSceneBuilder` structs. The latter now also has a method
named `extract_resources` to properly extract the existing resources
registered in the local type registry, in a similar way to
`extract_entities`.


---

## Changelog


Added: Reflect resources registered in the type registry used by dynamic
scenes will now be properly de/serialized in scene data.

## Migration Guide

Since the scene format has been changed, the user may not be able to use
scenes saved prior to this PR due to the `resources` scene field being
missing. ~~To preserve backwards compatibility, I will try to make the
`resources` fully optional so that old scenes can be loaded without
issue.~~

## TODOs

- [x] I may have to update a few doc blocks still referring to dynamic
scenes as mere container of entities, since they now include resources
as well.
- [x] ~~I want to make the `resources` key optional, as specified in the
Migration Guide, so that old scenes will be compatible with this
change.~~ Since this would only be trivial for ron format, I think it
might be better to consider it in a separate PR/discussion to figure out
if it could be done for binary serialization too.
- [x] I suppose it might be a good idea to add a resources in the scene
example so that users will quickly notice they can serialize resources
just like entities.

e71c4d2802 fix nightly clippy warnings ()
# Objective

- fix new clippy lints before they get stable and break CI

## Solution

- run `clippy --fix` to auto-fix machine-applicable lints
- silence `clippy::should_implement_trait` for `fn HandleId::default<T: Asset>`

## Changes
- always prefer `format!("{inline}")` over `format!("{}", not_inline)`
- prefer `Box::default` (or `Box::<T>::default` if necessary) over `Box::new(T::default())`

1bb751cb8d Plugins own their settings. Rework PluginGroup trait. ()
# Objective

Fixes  
Alternative to   

"Immutable" Plugin settings are currently represented as normal ECS resources, which are read as part of plugin init. This presents a number of problems:

1. If a user inserts the plugin settings resource after the plugin is initialized, it will be silently ignored (and use the defaults instead)
2. Users can modify the plugin settings resource after the plugin has been initialized. This creates a false sense of control over settings that can no longer be changed.

(1) and (2) are especially problematic and confusing for the `WindowDescriptor` resource, but this is a general problem.

## Solution

Immutable Plugin settings now live on each Plugin struct (ex: `WindowPlugin`). PluginGroups have been reworked to support overriding plugin values. This also removes the need for the `add_plugins_with` api, as the `add_plugins` api can use the builder pattern directly. Settings that can be used at runtime continue to be represented as ECS resources.

Plugins are now configured like this:

```rust
app.add_plugin(AssetPlugin {
  watch_for_changes: true,
  ..default()
})
```

PluginGroups are now configured like this:

```rust
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins
  .set(AssetPlugin {
    watch_for_changes: true,
    ..default()
  })
)
```

This is an alternative to , which is similar. But I personally prefer this solution for a couple of reasons:
* ~~#2988 doesn't solve (1)~~  does solve (1) and will panic in that case. I was wrong!
* This PR directly ties plugin settings to Plugin types in a 1:1 relationship, rather than a loose "setup resource" <-> plugin coupling (where the setup resource is consumed by the first plugin that uses it).
* I'm not a huge fan of overloading the ECS resource concept and implementation for something that has very different use cases and constraints.

## Changelog

- PluginGroups can now be configured directly using the builder pattern. Individual plugin values can be overridden by using `plugin_group.set(SomePlugin {})`, which enables overriding default plugin values.  
- `WindowDescriptor` plugin settings have been moved to `WindowPlugin` and `AssetServerSettings` have been moved to `AssetPlugin`
- `app.add_plugins_with` has been replaced by using `add_plugins` with the builder pattern.

## Migration Guide

The `WindowDescriptor` settings have been moved from a resource to `WindowPlugin::window`:

```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app
  .insert_resource(WindowDescriptor {
    width: 400.0,
    ..default()
  })
  .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)

// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(WindowPlugin {
  window: WindowDescriptor {
    width: 400.0,
    ..default()
  },
  ..default()
}))
```


The `AssetServerSettings` resource has been removed in favor of direct `AssetPlugin` configuration:

```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app
  .insert_resource(AssetServerSettings {
    watch_for_changes: true,
    ..default()
  })
  .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)

// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.set(AssetPlugin {
  watch_for_changes: true,
  ..default()
}))
```

`add_plugins_with` has been replaced by `add_plugins` in combination with the builder pattern:

```rust
// Old (Bevy 0.8)
app.add_plugins_with(DefaultPlugins, |group| group.disable::<AssetPlugin>());

// New (Bevy 0.9)
app.add_plugins(DefaultPlugins.build().disable::<AssetPlugin>());
```

7989cb2650 Add global time scaling ()
# Objective

- Make `Time` API more consistent.
- Support time accel/decel/pause.

## Solution

This is just the `Time` half of . I was told that part isn't controversial.

- Give the "delta time" and "total elapsed time" methods `f32`, `f64`, and `Duration` variants with consistent naming.
- Implement accelerating / decelerating the passage of time.
- Implement stopping time.

---

## Changelog

- Changed `time_since_startup` to `elapsed` because `time.time_*` is just silly.
- Added `relative_speed` and `set_relative_speed` methods.
- Added `is_paused`, `pause`, `unpause` , and methods. (I'd prefer `resume`, but `unpause` matches `Timer` API.)
- Added `raw_*` variants of the "delta time" and "total elapsed time" methods.
- Added `first_update` method because there's a non-zero duration between startup and the first update.

## Migration Guide

- `time.time_since_startup()` -> `time.elapsed()`
- `time.seconds_since_startup()` -> `time.elapsed_seconds_f64()`
- `time.seconds_since_startup_wrapped_f32()` -> `time.elapsed_seconds_wrapped()`

If you aren't sure which to use, most systems should continue to use "scaled" time (e.g. `time.delta_seconds()`). The realtime "unscaled" time measurements (e.g. `time.raw_delta_seconds()`) are mostly for debugging and profiling.

dc3f801239 Exclusive Systems Now Implement System. Flexible Exclusive System Params ()
# Objective

The [Stageless RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/45) involves allowing exclusive systems to be referenced and ordered relative to parallel systems. We've agreed that unifying systems under `System` is the right move.

This is an alternative to  (see rationale in the comments I left there). Note that this builds on the learnings established there (and borrows some patterns).

## Solution

This unifies parallel and exclusive systems under the shared `System` trait, removing the old `ExclusiveSystem` trait / impls. This is accomplished by adding a new `ExclusiveFunctionSystem` impl similar to `FunctionSystem`. It is backed by `ExclusiveSystemParam`, which is similar to `SystemParam`. There is a new flattened out SystemContainer api (which cuts out a lot of trait and type complexity). 

This means you can remove all cases of `exclusive_system()`:

```rust
// before
commands.add_system(some_system.exclusive_system());
// after
commands.add_system(some_system);
```

I've also implemented `ExclusiveSystemParam` for `&mut QueryState` and `&mut SystemState`, which makes this possible in exclusive systems:

```rust
fn some_exclusive_system(
    world: &mut World,
    transforms: &mut QueryState<&Transform>,
    state: &mut SystemState<(Res<Time>, Query<&Player>)>,
) {
    for transform in transforms.iter(world) {
        println!("{transform:?}");
    }
    let (time, players) = state.get(world);
    for player in players.iter() {
        println!("{player:?}");
    }
}
```

Note that "exclusive function systems" assume `&mut World` is present (and the first param). I think this is a fair assumption, given that the presence of `&mut World` is what defines the need for an exclusive system.

I added some targeted SystemParam `static` constraints, which removed the need for this:
``` rust
fn some_exclusive_system(state: &mut SystemState<(Res<'static, Time>, Query<&'static Player>)>) {}
```

## Changelog

- `ExclusiveSystem` trait (and implementations) has been removed in favor of sharing the `System` trait.
- `ExclusiveFunctionSystem` and `ExclusiveSystemParam` were added, enabling flexible exclusive function systems
- `&mut SystemState` and `&mut QueryState` now implement `ExclusiveSystemParam`
- Exclusive and parallel System configuration is now done via a unified `SystemDescriptor`, `IntoSystemDescriptor`, and `SystemContainer` api.

## Migration Guide

Calling `.exclusive_system()` is no longer required (or supported) for converting exclusive system functions to exclusive systems:

```rust
// Old (0.8)
app.add_system(some_exclusive_system.exclusive_system());
// New (0.9)
app.add_system(some_exclusive_system);
```

Converting "normal" parallel systems to exclusive systems is done by calling the exclusive ordering apis:

```rust
// Old (0.8)
app.add_system(some_system.exclusive_system().at_end());
// New (0.9)
app.add_system(some_system.at_end());
```

Query state in exclusive systems can now be cached via ExclusiveSystemParams, which should be preferred for clarity and performance reasons:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
fn some_system(world: &mut World) {
  let mut transforms = world.query::<&Transform>();
  for transform in transforms.iter(world) {
  }
}
// New (0.9)
fn some_system(world: &mut World, transforms: &mut QueryState<&Transform>) {
  for transform in transforms.iter(world) {
  }
}
```

01aedc8431 Spawn now takes a Bundle ()
# Objective

Now that we can consolidate Bundles and Components under a single insert (thanks to  and ), almost 100% of world spawns now look like `world.spawn().insert((Some, Tuple, Here))`. Spawning an entity without any components is an extremely uncommon pattern, so it makes sense to give spawn the "first class" ergonomic api. This consolidated api should be made consistent across all spawn apis (such as World and Commands).

## Solution

All `spawn` apis (`World::spawn`, `Commands:;spawn`, `ChildBuilder::spawn`, and `WorldChildBuilder::spawn`) now accept a bundle as input:

```rust
// before:
commands
  .spawn()
  .insert((A, B, C));
world
  .spawn()
  .insert((A, B, C);

// after
commands.spawn((A, B, C));
world.spawn((A, B, C));
```

All existing instances of `spawn_bundle` have been deprecated in favor of the new `spawn` api. A new `spawn_empty` has been added, replacing the old `spawn` api.  

By allowing `world.spawn(some_bundle)` to replace `world.spawn().insert(some_bundle)`, this opened the door to removing the initial entity allocation in the "empty" archetype / table done in `spawn()` (and subsequent move to the actual archetype in `.insert(some_bundle)`).

This improves spawn performance by over 10%:
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/191627587-4ab2f949-4ccd-4231-80eb-80dd4d9ad6b9.png)

To take this measurement, I added a new `world_spawn` benchmark.

Unfortunately, optimizing `Commands::spawn` is slightly less trivial, as Commands expose the Entity id of spawned entities prior to actually spawning. Doing the optimization would (naively) require assurances that the `spawn(some_bundle)` command is applied before all other commands involving the entity (which would not necessarily be true, if memory serves). Optimizing `Commands::spawn` this way does feel possible, but it will require careful thought (and maybe some additional checks), which deserves its own PR. For now, it has the same performance characteristics of the current `Commands::spawn_bundle` on main.

**Note that 99% of this PR is simple renames and refactors. The only code that needs careful scrutiny is the new `World::spawn()` impl, which is relatively straightforward, but it has some new unsafe code (which re-uses battle tested BundlerSpawner code path).** 

---

## Changelog

- All `spawn` apis (`World::spawn`, `Commands:;spawn`, `ChildBuilder::spawn`, and `WorldChildBuilder::spawn`) now accept a bundle as input
- All instances of `spawn_bundle` have been deprecated in favor of the new `spawn` api
- World and Commands now have `spawn_empty()`, which is equivalent to the old `spawn()` behavior.  

## Migration Guide

```rust
// Old (0.8):
commands
  .spawn()
  .insert_bundle((A, B, C));
// New (0.9)
commands.spawn((A, B, C));

cd15f0f5be Accept Bundles for insert and remove. Deprecate insert/remove_bundle ()
# Objective

Take advantage of the "impl Bundle for Component" changes in  / add the follow up changes discussed there.

## Solution

- Change `insert` and `remove` to accept a Bundle instead of a Component (for both Commands and World)
- Deprecate `insert_bundle`, `remove_bundle`, and `remove_bundle_intersection`
- Add `remove_intersection`

---

## Changelog

- Change `insert` and `remove` now accept a Bundle instead of a Component (for both Commands and World)
- `insert_bundle` and `remove_bundle` are deprecated
 

## Migration Guide

Replace `insert_bundle` with `insert`:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
commands.spawn().insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default());
// New (0.9)
commands.spawn().insert(SomeBundle::default());
```

Replace `remove_bundle` with `remove`:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
commands.entity(some_entity).remove_bundle::<SomeBundle>();
// New (0.9)
commands.entity(some_entity).remove::<SomeBundle>();
```

Replace `remove_bundle_intersection` with `remove_intersection`:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
world.entity_mut(some_entity).remove_bundle_intersection::<SomeBundle>();
// New (0.9)
world.entity_mut(some_entity).remove_intersection::<SomeBundle>();
```

Consider consolidating as many operations as possible to improve ergonomics and cut down on archetype moves:
```rust
// Old (0.8)
commands.spawn()
  .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default())
  .insert(SomeComponent);

// New (0.9) - Option 1
commands.spawn().insert((
  SomeBundle::default(),
  SomeComponent,
))

// New (0.9) - Option 2
commands.spawn_bundle((
  SomeBundle::default(),
  SomeComponent,
))
```

## Next Steps

Consider changing `spawn` to accept a bundle and deprecate `spawn_bundle`.

ac1aebed5e Add reflect(skip_serializing) which retains reflection but disables automatic serialization ()
# Objective

- To address problems outlined in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/5245

## Solution

- Introduce `reflect(skip_serializing)` on top of `reflect(ignore)` which disables automatic serialisation to scenes, but does not disable reflection of the field.

---

## Changelog
- Adds: 
  - `bevy_reflect::serde::type_data` module
  - `SerializationData` structure for describing which fields are to be/not to be ignored, automatically registers as type_data for struct-based types
  - the `skip_serialization` flag for `#[reflect(...)]`
 - Removes:
   - ability to ignore Enum variants in serialization, since that didn't work anyway   
 

## Migration Guide
- Change `#[reflect(ignore)]` to `#[reflect(skip_serializing)]` where disabling reflection is not the intended effect.
- Remove ignore/skip attributes from enum variants as these won't do anything anymore

f83a9c23f2 Add writing of scene data to Scene example ()
# Objective

Alice says to make this PR: https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/745805740274614303/1018554340841107477

- The "scene" example in the examples folder has a TODO comment about writing the serialized data to a file. This PR implements that.

## Solution

The `AssetIo` trait in the `AssetServer` only supports reading data, not writing it. So, I used `std::io::File` for the implementation. This way, every time you run the example, it will mutate the file in-place.  

I had thought about adding a UUID string to the example Component, so that every time you run the example, the file will be guaranteed to change (currently, it just writes the same numbers over and over). However, I didn't bother because it was beyond the scope of the TODO comment.

One thing to note is that the logic for serializing the scene into RON data has changed since the existing RON file was created, and so even though the data is the same, it's rendered in a different order for whatever reason.

I left the changed output to the example file, because it's presumably trivial.  I can remove it and force-push if you don't want that included in here.

b42f426fc3 Add associated constant IDENTITY to Transform and friends. ()
# Objective
Since `identity` is a const fn that takes no arguments it seems logical to make it an associated constant.
This is also more in line with types from glam (eg. `Quat::IDENTITY`).

## Migration Guide

The method `identity()` on `Transform`, `GlobalTransform` and `TransformBundle` has been deprecated.
Use the associated constant `IDENTITY` instead.

992681b59b Make Resource trait opt-in, requiring #[derive(Resource)] V2 ()
*This PR description is an edited copy of , 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.

9f906fdc8b Improve ergonomics and reduce boilerplate around creating text elements. ()
# Objective

Creating UI elements is very boilerplate-y with lots of indentation.
This PR aims to reduce boilerplate around creating text elements.

## Changelog

* Renamed `Text::with_section` to `from_section`.
  It no longer takes a `TextAlignment` as argument, as the vast majority of cases left it `Default::default()`.
* Added `Text::from_sections` which creates a `Text` from a list of `TextSections`.
  Reduces line-count and reduces indentation by one level.
* Added `Text::with_alignment`.
  A builder style method for setting the `TextAlignment` of a `Text`.
* Added `TextSection::new`.
  Does not reduce line count, but reduces character count and made it easier to read. No more `.to_string()` calls!
* Added `TextSection::from_style` which creates an empty `TextSection` with a style.
  No more empty strings! Reduces indentation.
* Added `TextAlignment::CENTER` and friends.
* Added methods to `TextBundle`. `from_section`, `from_sections`, `with_text_alignment` and `with_style`.

## Note for reviewers.
Because of the nature of these changes I recommend setting diff view to 'split'.
~~Look for the book icon~~ cog in the top-left of the Files changed tab.

Have fun reviewing ❤️

## Migration Guide

`Text::with_section` was renamed to `from_section` and no longer takes a `TextAlignment` as argument.

c6958b3056 add a SceneBundle to spawn a scene ()
# Objective

- Spawning a scene is handled as a special case with a command `spawn_scene` that takes an handle but doesn't let you specify anything else. This is the only handle that works that way.
- Workaround for this have been to add the `spawn_scene` on `ChildBuilder` to be able to specify transform of parent, or to make the `SceneSpawner` available to be able to select entities from a scene by their instance id

## Solution

Add a bundle
```rust
pub struct SceneBundle {
    pub scene: Handle<Scene>,
    pub transform: Transform,
    pub global_transform: GlobalTransform,
    pub instance_id: Option<InstanceId>,
}
```

and instead of 
```rust
commands.spawn_scene(asset_server.load("models/FlightHelmet/FlightHelmet.gltf#Scene0"));
```
you can do
```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(SceneBundle {
    scene: asset_server.load("models/FlightHelmet/FlightHelmet.gltf#Scene0"),
    ..Default::default()
});
```

The scene will be spawned as a child of the entity with the `SceneBundle`

~I would like to remove the command `spawn_scene` in favor of this bundle but didn't do it yet to get feedback first~

f487407e07 Camera Driven Rendering ()
This adds "high level camera driven rendering" to Bevy. The goal is to give users more control over what gets rendered (and where) without needing to deal with render logic. This will make scenarios like "render to texture", "multiple windows", "split screen", "2d on 3d", "3d on 2d", "pass layering", and more significantly easier. 

Here is an [example of a 2d render sandwiched between two 3d renders (each from a different perspective)](https://gist.github.com/cart/4fe56874b2e53bc5594a182fc76f4915):
![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/168411086-af13dec8-0093-4a84-bdd4-d4362d850ffa.png)

Users can now spawn a camera, point it at a RenderTarget (a texture or a window), and it will "just work". 

Rendering to a second window is as simple as spawning a second camera and assigning it to a specific window id:
```rust
// main camera (main window)
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle::default());

// second camera (other window)
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
    camera: Camera {
        target: RenderTarget::Window(window_id),
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
});
```

Rendering to a texture is as simple as pointing the camera at a texture:

```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
    camera: Camera {
        target: RenderTarget::Texture(image_handle),
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
});
```

Cameras now have a "render priority", which controls the order they are drawn in. If you want to use a camera's output texture as a texture in the main pass, just set the priority to a number lower than the main pass camera (which defaults to `0`).

```rust
// main pass camera with a default priority of 0
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle::default());

commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
    camera: Camera {
        target: RenderTarget::Texture(image_handle.clone()),
        priority: -1,
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
});

commands.spawn_bundle(SpriteBundle {
    texture: image_handle,
    ..default()
})
```

Priority can also be used to layer to cameras on top of each other for the same RenderTarget. This is what "2d on top of 3d" looks like in the new system:

```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle::default());

commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle {
    camera: Camera {
        // this will render 2d entities "on top" of the default 3d camera's render
        priority: 1,
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
});
```

There is no longer the concept of a global "active camera". Resources like `ActiveCamera<Camera2d>` and `ActiveCamera<Camera3d>` have been replaced with the camera-specific `Camera::is_active` field. This does put the onus on users to manage which cameras should be active.

Cameras are now assigned a single render graph as an "entry point", which is configured on each camera entity using the new `CameraRenderGraph` component. The old `PerspectiveCameraBundle` and `OrthographicCameraBundle` (generic on camera marker components like Camera2d and Camera3d) have been replaced by `Camera3dBundle` and `Camera2dBundle`, which set 3d and 2d default values for the `CameraRenderGraph` and projections.

```rust
// old 3d perspective camera
commands.spawn_bundle(PerspectiveCameraBundle::default())

// new 3d perspective camera
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle::default())
```

```rust
// old 2d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(OrthographicCameraBundle::new_2d())

// new 2d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera2dBundle::default())
```

```rust
// old 3d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(OrthographicCameraBundle::new_3d())

// new 3d orthographic camera
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
    projection: OrthographicProjection {
        scale: 3.0,
        scaling_mode: ScalingMode::FixedVertical,
        ..default()
    }.into(),
    ..default()
})
```

Note that `Camera3dBundle` now uses a new `Projection` enum instead of hard coding the projection into the type. There are a number of motivators for this change: the render graph is now a part of the bundle, the way "generic bundles" work in the rust type system prevents nice `..default()` syntax, and changing projections at runtime is much easier with an enum (ex for editor scenarios). I'm open to discussing this choice, but I'm relatively certain we will all come to the same conclusion here. Camera2dBundle and Camera3dBundle are much clearer than being generic on marker components / using non-default constructors.

If you want to run a custom render graph on a camera, just set the `CameraRenderGraph` component:

```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
    camera_render_graph: CameraRenderGraph::new(some_render_graph_name),
    ..default()
})
```

Just note that if the graph requires data from specific components to work (such as `Camera3d` config, which is provided in the `Camera3dBundle`), make sure the relevant components have been added.

Speaking of using components to configure graphs / passes, there are a number of new configuration options:

```rust
commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
    camera_3d: Camera3d {
        // overrides the default global clear color 
        clear_color: ClearColorConfig::Custom(Color::RED),
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
})

commands.spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle {
    camera_3d: Camera3d {
        // disables clearing
        clear_color: ClearColorConfig::None,
        ..default()
    },
    ..default()
})
```

Expect to see more of the "graph configuration Components on Cameras" pattern in the future.

By popular demand, UI no longer requires a dedicated camera. `UiCameraBundle` has been removed. `Camera2dBundle` and `Camera3dBundle` now both default to rendering UI as part of their own render graphs. To disable UI rendering for a camera, disable it using the CameraUi component:

```rust
commands
    .spawn_bundle(Camera3dBundle::default())
    .insert(CameraUi {
        is_enabled: false,
        ..default()
    })
```

## Other Changes

* The separate clear pass has been removed. We should revisit this for things like sky rendering, but I think this PR should "keep it simple" until we're ready to properly support that (for code complexity and performance reasons). We can come up with the right design for a modular clear pass in a followup pr.
* I reorganized bevy_core_pipeline into Core2dPlugin and Core3dPlugin (and core_2d / core_3d modules). Everything is pretty much the same as before, just logically separate. I've moved relevant types (like Camera2d, Camera3d, Camera3dBundle, Camera2dBundle) into their relevant modules, which is what motivated this reorganization.
* I adapted the `scene_viewer` example (which relied on the ActiveCameras behavior) to the new system. I also refactored bits and pieces to be a bit simpler. 
* All of the examples have been ported to the new camera approach. `render_to_texture` and `multiple_windows` are now _much_ simpler. I removed `two_passes` because it is less relevant with the new approach. If someone wants to add a new "layered custom pass with CameraRenderGraph" example, that might fill a similar niche. But I don't feel much pressure to add that in this pr.
* Cameras now have `target_logical_size` and `target_physical_size` fields, which makes finding the size of a camera's render target _much_ simpler. As a result, the `Assets<Image>` and `Windows` parameters were removed from `Camera::world_to_screen`, making that operation much more ergonomic.
* Render order ambiguities between cameras with the same target and the same priority now produce a warning. This accomplishes two goals:
    1. Now that there is no "global" active camera, by default spawning two cameras will result in two renders (one covering the other). This would be a silent performance killer that would be hard to detect after the fact. By detecting ambiguities, we can provide a helpful warning when this occurs.
    2. Render order ambiguities could result in unexpected / unpredictable render results. Resolving them makes sense.

## Follow Up Work

* Per-Camera viewports, which will make it possible to render to a smaller area inside of a RenderTarget (great for something like splitscreen)
* Camera-specific MSAA config (should use the same "overriding" pattern used for ClearColor)
* Graph Based Camera Ordering: priorities are simple, but they make complicated ordering constraints harder to express. We should consider adopting a "graph based" camera ordering model with "before" and "after" relationships to other cameras (or build it "on top" of the priority system).
* Consider allowing graphs to run subgraphs from any nest level (aka a global namespace for graphs). Right now the 2d and 3d graphs each need their own UI subgraph, which feels "fine" in the short term. But being able to share subgraphs between other subgraphs seems valuable.
* Consider splitting `bevy_core_pipeline` into `bevy_core_2d` and `bevy_core_3d` packages. Theres a shared "clear color" dependency here, which would need a new home.

1ba7429371 Doc/module style doc blocks for examples ()
# Objective

Provide a starting point for , or a partial solution. 
Providing a few comment blocks to discuss, and hopefully find better one in the process. 

## Solution

Since I am pretty new to pretty much anything in this context, I figured I'd just start with a draft for some file level doc blocks. For some of them I found more relevant details (or at least things I considered interessting), for some others there is less. 

## Changelog

- Moved some existing comments from main() functions in the 2d examples to the file header level
- Wrote some more comment blocks for most other 2d examples

TODO: 
- [x] 2d/sprite_sheet, wasnt able to come up with something good yet 
- [x] all other example groups...


Also: Please let me know if the commit style is okay, or to verbose. I could certainly squash these things, or add more details if needed. 
I also hope its okay to raise this PR this early, with just a few files changed. Took me long enough and I dont wanted to let it go to waste because I lost motivation to do the whole thing. Additionally I am somewhat uncertain over the style and contents of the commets. So let me know what you thing please.

b6a647cc01 default() shorthand ()
Adds a `default()` shorthand for `Default::default()` ... because life is too short to constantly type `Default::default()`.

```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;

#[derive(Default)]
struct Foo {
  bar: usize,
  baz: usize,
}

// Normally you would do this:
let foo = Foo {
  bar: 10,
  ..Default::default()
};

// But now you can do this:
let foo = Foo {
  bar: 10,
  ..default()
};
```

The examples have been adapted to use `..default()`. I've left internal crates as-is for now because they don't pull in the bevy prelude, and the ergonomics of each case should be considered individually.

557ab9897a Make get_resource (and friends) infallible ()
# 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  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 .

## 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%

07ed1d053e Implement and require #[derive(Component)] on all component structs ()
This implements the most minimal variant of  - 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.

81b53d15d4 Make Commands and World apis consistent ()
Resolves  

This makes the Commands apis consistent with World apis. This moves to a "type state" pattern (like World) where the "current entity" is stored in an `EntityCommands` builder.

In general this tends to cuts down on indentation and line count. It comes at the cost of needing to type `commands` more and adding more semicolons to terminate expressions.

I also added `spawn_bundle` to Commands because this is a common enough operation that I think its worth providing a shorthand.
