# Objective
A common pitfall since 0.8 is the requirement on `ComputedVisibility`
being present on all ancestors of an entity that itself has
`ComputedVisibility`, without which, the entity becomes invisible.
I myself hit the issue and got very confused, and saw a few people hit
it as well, so it makes sense to provide a hint of what to do when such
a situation is encountered.
- Fixes#5849
- Closes#5616
- Closes#2277
- Closes#5081
## Solution
We now check that all entities with both a `Parent` and a
`ComputedVisibility` component have parents that themselves have a
`ComputedVisibility` component.
Note that the warning is only printed once.
We also add a similar warning to `GlobalTransform`.
This only emits a warning. Because sometimes it could be an intended
behavior.
Alternatives:
- Do nothing and keep repeating to newcomers how to avoid recurring
pitfalls
- Make the transform and visibility propagation tolerant to missing
components (#5616)
- Probably archetype invariants, though the current draft would not
allow detecting that kind of errors

## Changelog
- Add a warning when encountering dubious component hierarchy structure

# Objective
While poking around the hierarchy code, I wondered why some asserts in tests were duplicated.
Some git blame later, I found out that commit ( 8eb0440f1e ) added already existing asserts while removing others.
## Solution
Remove the duplicated asserts.
#4197 intended to remove all `pub` constructors of `Children` and `Parent` and it seems like this one was missed.
Co-authored-by: devil-ira <justthecooldude@gmail.com>
Remove unnecessary calls to `iter()`/`iter_mut()`.
Mainly updates the use of queries in our code, docs, and examples.
```rust
// From
for _ in list.iter() {
for _ in list.iter_mut() {
// To
for _ in &list {
for _ in &mut list {
```
We already enable the pedantic lint [clippy::explicit_iter_loop](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/stable/) inside of Bevy. However, this only warns for a few known types from the standard library.
## Note for reviewers
As you can see the additions and deletions are exactly equal.
Maybe give it a quick skim to check I didn't sneak in a crypto miner, but you don't have to torture yourself by reading every line.
I already experienced enough pain making this PR :)

## Objective
Implement absolute minimum viable product for the changes proposed in bevyengine/rfcs#53.
## Solution
- Remove public mutative access to `Parent` (Children is already publicly read-only). This includes public construction methods like `Copy`, `Clone`, and `Default`.
- Remove `PreviousParent`
- Remove `parent_update_system`
- Update all hierarchy related commands to immediately update both `Parent` and `Children` references.
## Remaining TODOs
- [ ] Update documentation for both `Parent` and `Children`. Discourage using `EntityCommands::remove`
- [x] Add `HierarchyEvent` to notify listeners of hierarchy updates. This is meant to replace listening on `PreviousParent`
## Followup
- These changes should be best moved to the hooks mentioned in #3742.
- Backing storage for both might be best moved to indexes mentioned in the same relations.
# Objective
`SAFETY` comments are meant to be placed before `unsafe` blocks and should contain the reasoning of why in this case the usage of unsafe is okay. This is useful when reading the code because it makes it clear which assumptions are required for safety, and makes it easier to spot possible unsoundness holes. It also forces the code writer to think of something to write and maybe look at the safety contracts of any called unsafe methods again to double-check their correct usage.
There's a clippy lint called `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` which warns when using a block without such a comment.
## Solution
- since clippy expects `SAFETY` instead of `SAFE`, rename those
- add `SAFETY` comments in more places
- for the last remaining 3 places, add an `#[allow()]` and `// TODO` since I wasn't comfortable enough with the code to justify their safety
- add ` #![warn(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]` to `bevy_ecs`
### Note for reviewers
The first commit only renames `SAFETY` to `SAFE` so it doesn't need a thorough review.

# 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~

# Objective
Improve querying ergonomics around collections and iterators of entities.
Example how queries over Children might be done currently.
```rust
fn system(foo_query: Query<(&Foo, &Children)>, bar_query: Query<(&Bar, &Children)>) {
for (foo, children) in &foo_query {
for child in children.iter() {
if let Ok((bar, children)) = bar_query.get(*child) {
for child in children.iter() {
if let Ok((foo, children)) = foo_query.get(*child) {
// D:
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
Answers #4868
Partially addresses #4864Fixes#1470
## Solution
Based on the great work by @deontologician in #2563
Added `iter_many` and `many_for_each_mut` to `Query`.
These take a list of entities (Anything that implements `IntoIterator<Item: Borrow<Entity>>`).
`iter_many` returns a `QueryManyIter` iterator over immutable results of a query (mutable data will be cast to an immutable form).
`many_for_each_mut` calls a closure for every result of the query, ensuring not aliased mutability.
This iterator goes over the list of entities in order and returns the result from the query for it. Skipping over any entities that don't match the query.
Also added `unsafe fn iter_many_unsafe`.
### Examples
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Counter {
value: i32
}
#[derive(Component)]
struct Friends {
list: Vec<Entity>,
}
fn system(
friends_query: Query<&Friends>,
mut counter_query: Query<&mut Counter>,
) {
for friends in &friends_query {
for counter in counter_query.iter_many(&friends.list) {
println!("Friend's counter: {:?}", counter.value);
}
counter_query.many_for_each_mut(&friends.list, |mut counter| {
counter.value += 1;
println!("Friend's counter: {:?}", counter.value);
});
}
}
```
Here's how example in the Objective section can be written with this PR.
```rust
fn system(foo_query: Query<(&Foo, &Children)>, bar_query: Query<(&Bar, &Children)>) {
for (foo, children) in &foo_query {
for (bar, children) in bar_query.iter_many(children) {
for (foo, children) in foo_query.iter_many(children) {
// :D
}
}
}
}
```
## Additional changes
Implemented `IntoIterator` for `&Children` because why not.
## Todo
- Bikeshed!

# Objective
Support returning data out of with_children to enable the use case of changing the parent commands with data created inside the child builder.
## Solution
Change the with_children closure to return T.
Closes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2817.
---
## Changelog
`BuildChildren::add_children` was added with the ability to return data to use outside the closure (for spawning a new child builder on a returned entity for example).
# Objective
- in #3851, a feature for tracing was added to bevy_transform
- usage of that feature was moved to bevy_hierarchy, but the feature was not updated
## Solution
- add the feature to bevy_hierarchy, remove it from bevy_transform
# Objective
- Provide more information when despawning an entity
## Solution
- Add a debug log when despawning an entity
- Add spans to the recursive ways of despawning an entity
```sh
RUST_LOG=debug cargo run --example panic --features trace
# RUST_LOG=debug needed to show debug logs from bevy_ecs
# --features trace needed to have the extra spans
...
DEBUG bevy_app:frame:stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="panic::despawn_parent"}:command{name="DespawnRecursive" entity=0v0}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 1v0
DEBUG bevy_app:frame:stage{name=Update}:system_commands{name="panic::despawn_parent"}:command{name="DespawnRecursive" entity=0v0}: bevy_ecs::world: Despawning entity 0v0
```
# Objective
- Hierarchy tools are not just used for `Transform`: they are also used for scenes.
- In the future there's interest in using them for other features, such as visiibility inheritance.
- The fact that these tools are found in `bevy_transform` causes a great deal of user and developer confusion
- Fixes#2758.
## Solution
- Split `bevy_transform` into two!
- Make everything work again.
Note that this is a very tightly scoped PR: I *know* there are code quality and docs issues that existed in bevy_transform that I've just moved around. We should fix those in a seperate PR and try to merge this ASAP to reduce the bitrot involved in splitting an entire crate.
## Frustrations
The API around `GlobalTransform` is a mess: we have massive code and docs duplication, no link between the two types and no clear way to extend this to other forms of inheritance.
In the medium-term, I feel pretty strongly that `GlobalTransform` should be replaced by something like `Inherited<Transform>`, which lives in `bevy_hierarchy`:
- avoids code duplication
- makes the inheritance pattern extensible
- links the types at the type-level
- allows us to remove all references to inheritance from `bevy_transform`, making it more useful as a standalone crate and cleaning up its docs
## Additional context
- double-blessed by @cart in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4141#issuecomment-1063592414 and https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/2758#issuecomment-913810963
- preparation for more advanced / cleaner hierarchy tools: go read https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/53 !
- originally attempted by @finegeometer in #2789. It was a great idea, just needed more discussion!
