Change help commands to use name from scope instead of the name from the declaration (#14490)
# Description

Before this PR, `help commands` uses the name from a command's
declaration rather than the name in the scope. This is problematic when
trying to view the help page for the `main` command of a module. For
example, `std bench`:

```nushell
use std/bench
help bench
# => Error: nu::parser::not_found
# => 
# =>   × Not found.
# =>    ╭─[entry #10:1:6]
# =>  1 │ help bench
# =>    ·      ──┬──
# =>    ·        ╰── did not find anything under this name
# =>    ╰────
```

This can also cause confusion when importing specific commands from
modules. Furthermore, if there are multiple commands with the same name
from different modules, the help text for _both_ will appear when
querying their help text (this is especially problematic for `main`
commands, see #14033):

```nushell
use std/iter
help iter find
# => Error: nu::parser::not_found
# => 
# =>   × Not found.
# =>    ╭─[entry #3:1:6]
# =>  1│ help iter find
# =>    ·      ────┬────
# =>    ·          ╰── did not find anything under this name
# =>    ╰────
help find
# => Searches terms in the input.
# => 
# => Search terms: filter, regex, search, condition
# => 
# => Usage:
# =>   > find {flags} ...(rest) 
# [...]
# => Returns the first element of the list that matches the
# => closure predicate, `null` otherwise
# [...]
# (full text omitted for brevity)
```

This PR changes `help commands` to use the name as it is in scope, so
prefixing any command in scope with `help` will show the correct help
text.


```nushell
use std/bench
help bench
# [help text for std bench]
use std/iter
help iter find
# [help text for std iter find]

use std
help std bench
# [help text for std bench]
help std iter find
# [help text for std iter find]
```

Additionally, the IR code generation for commands called with the
`--help` text has been updated to reflect this change.

This does have one side effect: when a module has a `main` command
defined, running `help <name>` (which checks `help aliases`, then `help
commands`, then `help modules`) will show the help text for the `main`
command rather than the module. The help text for the module is still
accessible with `help modules <name>`.

Fixes #10499, #10311, #11609, #13470, #14033, and #14402.
Partially fixes #10707.
Does **not** fix #11447.

# User-Facing Changes

* Help text for commands can be obtained by running `help <command
name>`, where the command name is the same thing you would type in order
to execute the command. Previously, it was the name of the function as
written in the source file.
  * For example, for the following module `spam` with command `meow`:
    ```nushell
    module spam { 
        # help text
        export def meow [] {}
    }
    ```
    * Before this PR:
* Regardless of how `meow` is `use`d, the help text is viewable by
running `help meow`.
    * After this PR:
* When imported with `use spam`: The `meow` command is executed by
running `spam meow` and the `help` text is viewable by running `help
spam meow`.
* When imported with `use spam foo`: The `meow` command is executed by
running `meow` and the `help` text is viewable by running `meow`.
* When a module has a `main` command defined, `help <module name>` will
return help for the main command, rather than the module. To access the
help for the module, use `help modules <module name>`.

From `Return used outside of function` to `Return used outside of custom

normalize special characters in module names to allow variable access (#14353)
Fixes #14252

# User-Facing Changes

- Special characters in module names are replaced with underscores when
  importing constants, preventing "expected valid variable name":

```nushell
> module foo-bar { export const baz = 1 }
> use foo-bar
> $foo_bar.baz
```

- "expected valid variable name" errors now include a suggestion list:

```nushell
> module foo-bar { export const baz = 1 }
> use foo-bar
> $foo-bar
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch_with_did_you_mean

  × Parse mismatch during operation.

add function to make env vars case-insensitive (#14390)
# Description

This PR adds a new function that allows one to get an env var
case-insensitively. I did this so we can hopefully stop having problems
when Windows has HKLM as path and HKCU as Path.

Instead of just changing every function that used the original one, I
chose the ones that I thought were specific to getting the path. I
didn't want to go all in and make every env get case insensitive, but
maybe we should? 🤷🏻‍♂️

closes #12676

Feature: PWD-per-drive to facilitate working on multiple drives at Windows (#14411)
This PR implements PWD-per-drive as described in discussion #14355

# Description
On Windows, CMD or PowerShell assigns each drive its own current
directory. For example, if you are in 'C:\Windows', switch to 'D:', and
navigate to 'D:\Game', you can return to 'C:\Windows' by simply typing
'C:'.

This PR enables Nushell on Windows to have the same capability, allowing
each drive to maintain its own PWD (Present Working Directory).

# User-Facing Changes
Currently, 'cd' or 'ls' only accept absolute paths if the path starts
with 'C:' or another drive letter. With PWD-per-drive, users can use
'cd' (or auto cd) and 'ls' in the same way as 'cd' and 'dir' in
PowerShell, or similarly to 'cd' and 'dir' in CMD (noting that cd in CMD
has slightly different behavior, 'cd' for another drive only changes
current directory of that drive, but does not switch there).

Interaction example on switching between drives:
```Nushell
~>D:
D:\>cd Test
D:\Test\>C:
~>D:
D:\Test\>C:
~>cd D:..
D:\>C:x/../y/../z/..
~>cd D:Test\Test
D:\Test\Test>C:
~>D:...
D:\>
```
Interaction example on auto-completion at cmd line:
```Nushell
~>cd D:\test[Enter]
D:\test>~[Enter]
~>D:[TAB]
~>D:\test[Enter]
D:\test>c:.c[TAB]
c:\users\nushell\.cargo\ c:\users\nushell\.config\
```
Interaction example on pass PWD-per-drive to child process: (Note CMD
will use it, but PowerShell will ignore it though it still prepares such
info for child process)
```Nushell
~>cd D:\Test
D:\Test>cd E:\Test
E:\Test\>~
~>CMD
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.4460]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Nushell>d:
D:\Test>e:
E:\Test>
```

# Brief Change Description
 
1.Added 'crates/nu-path/src/pwd_per_drive.rs' to implement a 26-slot
array mapping drive letters to PWDs. Test cases are included in the same
file, along with a doctest for the usage of PWD-per-drive.
2. Modified 'crates/nu-path/src/lib.rs' to declare module of
pwd_per_drive and export struct for PWD-per-drive.
3. Modified 'crates/nu-protocol/src/engine/stack.rs' to sync PWD when
set_cwd() is called. Add PWD-per-drive map as member. Clone between
parent and child. Stub/proxy for nu_path::expand_path_with() to
facilitate filesystem commands using PWD-per-drive.
4. Modified 'crates/nu-cli/src/repl.rs' auto_cd uses PWD-per-drive to
expand path.
5. Modified 'crates/nu-cli/src/completions/completion_common.rs' to
expand relative path when press [TAB] at command line.
6. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/env.rs' to collect PWD-per-drive info
as env vars for child process as CMD or PowerShell do, this can let
child process inherit PWD-per-drive info.
7. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/eval.rs', caller clone callee's
PWD-per-drive info, supporting 'def --env'
8. Modified 'crates/nu-engine/src/eval_ir.rs', 'def --env' support.
Remove duplicated fn redirect_env()
9. Modified 'src/run.rs', to init PWD-per-drive when startup.

filesystem commands that modified:
1. Modified 'crates/nu-command/src/filesystem/cd.rs', 1 line change to
use stackscoped PWD-per-drive.
Other commands, commit pending....

Local test def --env OK:
```nushell

# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing

-->
The [nushell/demo](https://github.com/nushell/demo) project successfully
demonstrated running Nushell in the browser using WASM. However, the
current version of Nushell cannot be easily built for the
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` target, the default for `wasm-bindgen`.

This PR introduces initial support for the `wasm32-unknown-unknown`
target by disabling OS-dependent features such as filesystem access, IO,
and platform/system-specific functionality. This separation is achieved
using a new `os` feature in the following crates:

 - `nu-cmd-lang`
 - `nu-command`
 - `nu-engine`
 - `nu-protocol`

The `os` feature includes all functionality that interacts with an
operating system. It is enabled by default, but can be disabled using
`--no-default-features`. All crates that depend on these core crates now
use `--no-default-features` to allow compilation for WASM.

To demonstrate compatibility, the following script builds all crates
expected to work with WASM. Direct user interaction, running external
commands, working with plugins, and features requiring `openssl` are out
of scope for now due to their complexity or reliance on C libraries,
which are difficult to compile and link in a WASM environment.

```nushell
[ # compatible crates
	"nu-cmd-base",
	"nu-cmd-extra",
	"nu-cmd-lang",
	"nu-color-config",
	"nu-command",
	"nu-derive-value",
	"nu-engine",
	"nu-glob",
	"nu-json",
	"nu-parser",
	"nu-path",
	"nu-pretty-hex",
	"nu-protocol",
	"nu-std",
	"nu-system",
	"nu-table",
	"nu-term-grid",
	"nu-utils",
	"nuon"
] | each {cargo build -p $in --target wasm32-unknown-unknown --no-default-features}
```

## Caveats
This PR has a few caveats:
1. **`miette` and `terminal-size` Dependency Issue**
`miette` depends on `terminal-size`, which uses `rustix` when the target
is not Windows. However, `rustix` requires `std::os::unix`, which is
unavailable in WASM. To address this, I opened a
[PR](https://github.com/eminence/terminal-size/pull/68) for
`terminal-size` to conditionally compile `rustix` only when the target
is Unix. For now, the `Cargo.toml` includes patches to:
    - Use my forked version of `terminal-size`.
- ~~Use an unreleased version of `miette` that depends on
`terminal-size@0.4`.~~

These patches are temporary and can be removed once the upstream changes
are merged and released.

2. **Test Output Adjustments**
Due to the slight bump in the `miette` version, one test required
adjustments to accommodate minor formatting changes in the error output,
such as shifted newlines.

# User-Facing Changes

This shouldn't break anything but allows using some crates for targeting
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` to revive the demo page eventually.

~~Breaking the wasm support can be easily done by adding some `use`s or

at least builds against wasm to make sure that building for it keep

Before this PR, you can access rendered error values that are raised in
a `try/catch` block by accessing the `rendered` element of the catch
error value:
```
$ try { ls nonexist.txt } catch {|e| print "my cool error:" $e.rendered }
my cool error:
nu:🐚:directory_not_found

  × Directory not found
  help: /home/rose/nonexist.txt does not exist
```

However, the rendered errors don't include the labels present in the
real rendered error, which would look like this:
```
$ ls nonexist.txt
Error: nu:🐚:directory_not_found

  × Directory not found
   ╭─[entry #46:1:4]
 1 │ ls nonexist.txt
   ·    ──────┬─────
   ·          ╰── directory not found
   ╰────
  help: /home/rose/nonexist.txt does not exist
```

After this PR, the rendered error includes the labels:

```
$ try { ls nonexist.txt } catch {|e| print "my cool error:" $e.rendered }
my cool error:
Error: nu:🐚:directory_not_found

  × Directory not found
   ╭─[entry #4:1:10]
 1 │ try { ls nonexist.txt } catch {|e| print "my cool error:" $e.rendered }
   ·          ──────┬─────
   ·                ╰── directory not found
   ╰────
  help: /home/rose/nonexist.txt does not exist
```

This change is accomplished by using the standard error formatting code
to render an error. This respects the error theme as before without any
extra scaffolding, but it means that e.g., the terminal size is also
respected. I think this is fine because the way the error is rendered
already changed based on config, and I think that a "rendered" error
should give back _exactly_ what would be shown to the user anyway.

@fdncred, let me know if you have any concerns with the way this is
handled since you were the one who implemented this feature in the first
place.

as milliseconds and microseconds, which the deprecated commands didn't
support).
* Added deprecation warning to `date to-record` and `date to-table`
* Added new example for `into record` showing the conversion to a table
* Changed `std/dt` to use `into record`
* Added "Deprecated" category back to nu-protocol::Signature
* Assigned the deprecated commands to the Deprecated category so be
categorized properly in the online Doc.

# User-Facing Changes

Deprecated command warning

# After Submitting

Searched doc for existing uses of `date to-record` and `date to-table`:

* For primary English-language docs, there are no uses other than in the
auto-generated command help, which will be updated based on this PR
* Other language translations appear to have an old use in several
places and will need to be updated to match the English-language doc.

raise ParseError if assign to a non-variable or non-mutable-variable (#14405)
# Description
While reviewing #14388, I think we can make some improvement on parser.

For the following code:
```nushell
let a = 3
a = 10   # should be error
$a = 10 # another error
```
I think they can raise `ParseError`, so nushell doesn't need to move
forward compiling IR block.

# User-Facing Changes
```nushell
let a = 3
a = 10
```
Will raise parse error instead of compile error.

# Tests + Formatting
Added 1 test.

Add Filesize type (#14369)
# Description
Adds a new `Filesize` type so that `FromValue` can be used to convert a
`Value::Filesize` to a `Filesize`. Currently, to extract a filesize from
a `Value` using `FromValue`, you have to extract an `i64` which coerces
`Value::Int`, `Value::Duration`, and `Value::Filesize` to an `i64`.

Having a separate type also allows us to enforce checked math to catch
overflows. Similarly, it allows us to specify other trait
implementations like `Display` in a common place.

# User-Facing Changes
Multiplication with filesizes now error on overflow. Should not be a
breaking change for plugins (i.e., serialization) since `Filesize` is
marked with `serde(transparent)`.

# Tests + Formatting
Updated some tests.

Change append operator to concatenation operator (#14344)
# Description

The "append" operator currently serves as both the append operator and
the concatenation operator. This dual role creates ambiguity when
operating on nested lists.

```nu
[1 2] ++ 3     # appends a value to a list [1 2 3]
[1 2] ++ [3 4] # concatenates two lists    [1 2 3 4]

[[1 2] [3 4]] ++ [5 6]
# does this give [[1 2] [3 4] [5 6]]
# or             [[1 2] [3 4] 5 6]  
```

Another problem is that `++=` can change the type of a variable:
```nu
mut str = 'hello '
$str ++= ['world']
($str | describe) == list<string>
```

Note that appending is only relevant for lists, but concatenation is
relevant for lists, strings, and binary values. Additionally, appending
can be expressed in terms of concatenation (see example below). So, this
PR changes the `++` operator to only perform concatenation.

# User-Facing Changes

Using the `++` operator with a list and a non-list value will now be a
compile time or runtime error.
```nu
mut list = []
$list ++= 1 # error
```
Instead, concatenate a list with one element:
```nu
$list ++= [1]
```
Or use `append`:
```nu
$list = $list | append 1
```

This PR makes it so that when using fuzzy matching, the score isn't
recomputed when sorting. Instead, filtering and sorting suggestions is
handled by a new `NuMatcher` struct. This struct accepts suggestions
and, if they match the user's typed text, stores those suggestions
(along with their scores and values). At the end, it returns a sorted
list of suggestions.

This probably won't have a noticeable impact on performance, but it
might be helpful if we start using Nucleo in the future.

Minor change: Makes `find_commands_by_predicate` in `StateWorkingSet`
and `EngineState` take `FnMut` rather than `Fn` for the predicate.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

When using case-insensitive matching, if you have two matches `FOO` and
`abc`, `abc` will be shown before `FOO` rather than the other way
around. I think this way makes more sense than the current behavior.
When I brought this up on Discord, WindSoilder did say it would make
sense to show uppercase matches first if the user typed, say, `F`.
However, that would be a lot more complicated to implement.

Deprecate split-by command (#14019)
# Description
I'm not quite sure what the point of the `split-by` command is. The only
example for the command seems to suggest it's an additional grouping
command. I.e., a record that seems to be the output of the `group-by`
command is passed to `split-by` which then adds an additional layer of
grouping based on a different column.

Rely on display_output hook for formatting values from evaluations (#14361)
# Description

I was reading through the documentation yesterday, when I stumbled upon
[this
section](https://www.nushell.sh/book/pipelines.html#behind-the-scenes)
explaining how command output is formatted using the `table` command. I
was surprised that this section didn't mention the `display_output`
hook, so I took a look in the code and was shocked to discovered that
the documentation was correct, and the `table` command _is_
automatically applied to printed pipelines.

This auto-tabling has two ramifications for the `display_output` hook:

1. The `table` command is called on the output of a pipeline after the
`display_output` has run, even if `display_output` contains the table
command. This means each pipeline output is roughly equivalent to the
following (using `ls` as an example):
    ```nushell
    ls | do $config.hooks.display_output | table
    ```
2. If `display_output` returns structured data, it will _still_ be
formatted through the table command.

This PR removes the auto-table when the `display_output` hook is set.
The auto-table made sense before `display_output` was introduced, but to
me, it now seems like unnecessary "automagic" which can be accomplished
using existing Nushell features.

This means that you can now pull back the curtain a bit, and replace
your `display_output` hook with an empty closure
(`$env.config.hooks.display_output = {||}`, setting it to null retains
the previous behavior) to see the values printed normally without the
table formatting. I think this is a good thing, and makes it easier to
understand Nushell fundamentals.

It is important to note that this PR does not change how `print` and
other commands (well, specifically only `watch`) print out values. They
continue to use `table` with no arguments, so changing your
config/`display_output` hook won't affect what `print`ing a value does.

Rel: [Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1307102690848931904)
(cc @dcarosone)

# User-Facing Changes

Pipelines are no longer automatically formatted using the `table`
command. Instead, the `display_output` hook is used to format pipeline
output. Most users should see no impact, as the default `display_output`
hook already uses the `table` command.

- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`

Add proper config defaults for hooks (#14341)
# Release Notes Excerpt

* Hooks now default to an empty value of the proper type (e.g., `[]` or
`{}`) when not otherwise specified

# Description

```nushell
# Start with no config
nu -n
# Populate with defaults
$env.config = {}
$env.config.hooks
```

* Before: All hooks other than `display_output` were set to `null`.
Attempting to append a hook using `++=` would fail unless it had already
been assigned.
* After:
* `pre_prompt`, `pre_execution`, and `command_not_found` are set to
empty lists. This allows the user to simply append new hooks using
`++=`.
* `env_change` is set to an empty record. This allows the user to add
new hooks using `merge`, although a "helper" command would still be
useful (TODO: stdlib).

Also fixed a typo in an error message.

# User-Facing Changes

There shouldn't be any breaking changes since (before) there were no
guarantees of the hook's value/type. Previously, users would have to
check for `null` and `default` to an empty list before appending. Any
user-strategies for dealing with the problem should continue to work
after this change.

# Tests + Formatting

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

Note that, for reasons I cannot ascertain, this PR appears to have
*fixed* the `command_not_found_error_recognizes_non_executable_file`
test that was previously broken by #12953. That PR essentially rewrote
the test to match the new behavior, but it no longer tested what it was
intended to test.

Now, the test is working again as designed (and as it works in the
REPL).

Remove the NU_DISABLE_IR option (#14293)
# Description

Removes the `NU_DISABLE_IR` option and some code related to evaluating
blocks with the AST
evaluator.

Does not entirely remove the AST evaluator yet. We still have some
dependencies on expression
evaluation in a few minor places which will take a little bit of effort
to fix.

Also changes `debug profile` to always include instructions, because the
output is a little
confusing otherwise, and removes the different options for
instructions/exprs.

# User-Facing Changes

- `NU_DISABLE_IR` no longer has any effect, and is removed. There is no
way to use the AST
  evaluator.
- `debug profile` no longer has `--exprs`, `--instructions` options.
- `debug profile` lists `pc` and `instruction` columns by default now.

Div, mod, and floor div overhaul (#14157)
# Description
Dividing two ints can currently return either an int or a float. Not
having a single return type for an operation between two types seems
problematic. Additionally, the type signature for division says that
dividing two ints returns only an int which does not match the current
implementation (it can also return a float). This PR changes division
between almost all types to return a float (except for `filesize /
number` or `duration / number`, since there are no float representations
for these types).

Currently, floor division between certain types is not implemented even
though the type signature allows it. Also, the current implementation of
floor division uses a combination of clamping and flooring rather than
simply performing floor division which this PR fixes. Additionally, the
signature was changed so that `int // float`, `float // int`, and `float
// float` now return float instead of int. This matches the automatic
float promotion in the rest of the operators (as well as how Python does
floor division which I think is the original inspiration).

Since regular division has always returned fractional values (and now
returns a float to reflect that), `mod` is now defined in terms of floor
division. That is, `D // d = q`, `D mod d = r`, and `D = d * q + r `.
This is just like the `%` operator in Python, which is also based off
floor division (at least for ints and floats). Additionally,
implementations missing from `mod`'s current type signature have been
added (`duration mod int` and `duration mod float`).

This PR also overhauls the overflow checking and errors for div, mod,
and floor div. If an operation overflows, it will now cause an error.

# User-Facing Changes
- Div now returns a float in most cases.
- Floor division now actually does floor division.
- Floor division now does automatic float promotion, returning a float
in more instances.
- Floor division now actually allows division with filesize and
durations as its type signature claimed.
- Mod is now defined and implemented in terms of floor division rather
than truncating division.
- Mod now actually allows filesize and durations as its type signature
claimed.
- Div, mod, and floor div now all have proper overflow checks.

## Examples

When the divisor and the dividend have the same sign, the quotient and
remainder will be the same as before. (Except that this PR will give
more accurate results, since it does not do an intermediate float
conversion). If the signs of the divisor and dividend are different,
then the results will be different, or rather actually correct.

Before:

```nu
let q = 8 // -3 # -3
let r = 8 mod -3 # 2
8 == $q * -3 + $r # false
```

After:

```nu
let q = 8 // -3 # -3
let r = 8 mod -3 # -1
8 == $q * -3 + $r # true
```


Before:

```nu
let q = -8 // 3 # -3
let r = -8 mod 3 # -2
-8 == $q * 3 + $r # false
```

After:

```nu
let q = -8 // 3 # -3
let r = -8 mod 3 # 1
-8 == $q * 3 + $r # true
```

# Tests + Formatting
Added a few tests.

# After Submitting

Empty rest args match should be an empty list (#14246)
Fixes #14145 

# User-Facing Changes
An empty rest match would be `null` previously. Now it will be an empty
list.
This is a breaking change for any scripts relying on the old behavior.

Example script:
```nu
match [1] {
  [_ ..$rest] => {
    match $rest {
      null => { "old" }
      [] => { "new" }
    }
  } 
}
```
This expression would evaluate to "old" on current nu versions and "new"
with this patch.

add command_type to help (#14165)
# Description

This PR adds an indicator when listing subcommands. That indicator tells
whether the command is a plugin, alias, or custom_command.

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/02889f8a-17b4-4678-bb44-3a487b3d1066)

I changed some of the API to make this work a little easier, namely
`get_signatures()` is now `get_signatures_and_declids()`. It was used in
only one other place (run-external), so I thought it was fine to change
it.

There is a long-standing issue with aliases where they reference the
command name instead of the alias name. This PR doesn't fix that bug.
Example.
```nushell
❯ alias "str fill" = str wrap
```
```nushell
❯ str
... other stuff
Subcommands:

  str wrap (alias) - Alias for `str wrap`
  str wrap (plugin) - Wrap text passed into pipeline.

```


# User-Facing Changes
Slightly different output of subcommands.

Add metadata on open --raw with bytestreams (#14141)
# Description

This PR closes #14137 and allows the display hook to be set on byte
streams. So, with a hook like this below.
```nushell
display_output: {
    metadata access {|meta| match $meta.content_type? {
        "application/x-nuscript" | "application/x-nuon" | "text/x-nushell" => { nu-highlight },
        "application/json" => { ^bat --language=json --color=always --style=plain --paging=never },
        _ => {},
        }
    } | table
}
```
You could type `open toolkit.nu` and the text of toolkit.nu would be
highlighted by nu-highlight. This PR also changes the way content-type
is assigned with `open`. Previously it would only assign it if `--raw`
was specified.

Lastly, it changes the `is_external()` function to only say
`ByteStreamSource::Child`'s are external instead of both Child and
`ByteStreamSource::File`. Again, this was to allow the hook to function
properly. I'm not sure what negative ramifications changing
`is_external()` could have, but there may be some?

Fix range contains (#14011)
# Description

This PR changes the range contains logic to take the step into account. 

```nushell
# before
2 in 1..3.. # true

# now
2 in 1..3.. # false
```

---

I encountered another issue while adding tests. Due to floating point
precision, `2.1 in 1..1.1..3` will return `false`. The floating point
error is even bigger than `f64::EPSILON` (`0.09999999999999876` vs
`2.220446049250313e-16`). This issue disappears with bigger numbers.

I tried a different algorithm (checking if the estimated number of steps
is close enough to any integer) but the results are still pretty bad:

```rust
let n_steps = (value - self.start) / self.step; // 14.999999999999988
(n_steps - n_steps.round()).abs() < f64::EPSILON // returns false
```

Maybe it can be shipped like this, the REPL already has floating point
errors (`1.1 - 1` returns `0.10000000000000009`). Or maybe there's a way
to fix this that I didn't think of. I'm open to ideas! But in any case
performing this kind of checks on a range of floats seems more niche
than doing it on a range of ints.

# User-Facing Changes

Code that depended on this behavior to check if a number is between
`start` and `end` will potentially return a different value.

Refactor config updates (#13802)
# Description
This PR standardizes updates to the config through a new
`UpdateFromValue` trait. For now, this trait is private in case we need
to make changes to it.

Note that this PR adds some additional `ShellError` cases to create
standard error messages for config errors. A follow-up PR will move
usages of the old error cases to these new ones. This PR also uses
`Type::custom` in lots of places (e.g., for string enums). Not sure if
this is something we want to encourage.

Reduce duplication in history path construction (#13475)
# Description
Currently there is a bit of chaos regarding construction of history file
paths. Various pieces of code across a number of crates reimplement the
same/similar logic:
- There is `get_history_path`, but it requires a directory parameter (it
really just joins it with a file name).
- Some places use a const for the directory parameter, others use a
string literal - in all cases the value seems to be `"nushell"`.
- Some places assume the `"nushell"` value, other plumb it down from
close to the top of the call stack.
- Some places use a constant for history file names while others assume
it.

This PR tries to make it so that the history/config path format is
defined in a single places and so dependencies on it are easier to
follow:
- It removes `get_history_path` and adds a `file_path` method to
`HistoryConfig` instead (an extra motivation being, this is a convenient
place that can be used from all creates that need a history file path)
- Adds a `nu_config_dir` function that returns the nushell configuration
directory.
- Updates existing code to rely on the above, effectively removing
duplicate uses of `"nushell"` and `NUSHELL_FOLDER` and assumptions about
file names associated with different history formats

Rework sorting and add cell path and closure comparators to sort-by (#13154)
# Description

Closes #12535
Implements sort-by functionality of #8322
Fixes sort-by part of #8667

This PR does two main things: add a new cell path and closure parameter
to `sort-by`, and attempt to make Nushell's sorting behavior
well-defined.

## `sort-by` features

The `columns` parameter is replaced with a `comparator` parameter, which
can be a cell path or a closure. Examples are from docs PR.

1. Cell paths

The basic interactive usage of `sort-by` is the same. For example, `ls |
sort-by modified` still works the same as before. It is not quite a
drop-in replacement, see [behavior changes](#behavior-changes).
   
   Here's an example of how the cell path comparator might be useful:
   
   ```nu
   > let cities = [
{name: 'New York', info: { established: 1624, population: 18_819_000 } }
{name: 'Kyoto', info: { established: 794, population: 37_468_000 } }
{name: 'São Paulo', info: { established: 1554, population: 21_650_000 }
}
   ]
   > $cities | sort-by info.established
   ╭───┬───────────┬────────────────────────────╮
   │ # │   name    │            info            │
   ├───┼───────────┼────────────────────────────┤
   │ 0 │ Kyoto     │ ╭─────────────┬──────────╮ │
   │   │           │ │ established │ 794      │ │
   │   │           │ │ population  │ 37468000 │ │
   │   │           │ ╰─────────────┴──────────╯ │
   │ 1 │ São Paulo │ ╭─────────────┬──────────╮ │
   │   │           │ │ established │ 1554     │ │
   │   │           │ │ population  │ 21650000 │ │
   │   │           │ ╰─────────────┴──────────╯ │
   │ 2 │ New York  │ ╭─────────────┬──────────╮ │
   │   │           │ │ established │ 1624     │ │
   │   │           │ │ population  │ 18819000 │ │
   │   │           │ ╰─────────────┴──────────╯ │
   ╰───┴───────────┴────────────────────────────╯
   ```

2. Key closures

You can supply a closure which will transform each value into a sorting
key (without changing the underlying data). Here's an example of a key
closure, where we want to sort a list of assignments by their average
grade:

   ```nu
   > let assignments = [
       {name: 'Homework 1', grades: [97 89 86 92 89] }
       {name: 'Homework 2', grades: [91 100 60 82 91] }
       {name: 'Exam 1', grades: [78 88 78 53 90] }
       {name: 'Project', grades: [92 81 82 84 83] }
   ]
   > $assignments | sort-by { get grades | math avg }
   ╭───┬────────────┬───────────────────────╮
   │ # │    name    │        grades         │
   ├───┼────────────┼───────────────────────┤
   │ 0 │ Exam 1     │ [78, 88, 78, 53, 90]  │
   │ 1 │ Project    │ [92, 81, 82, 84, 83]  │
   │ 2 │ Homework 2 │ [91, 100, 60, 82, 91] │
   │ 3 │ Homework 1 │ [97, 89, 86, 92, 89]  │
   ╰───┴────────────┴───────────────────────╯
   ```

3. Custom sort closure

The `--custom`, or `-c`, flag will tell `sort-by` to interpret closures
as custom sort closures. A custom sort closure has two parameters, and
returns a boolean. The closure should return `true` if the first
parameter comes _before_ the second parameter in the sort order.
   
For a simple example, we could rewrite a cell path sort as a custom sort
(see
[here](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io/pull/1568/files#diff-a7a233e66a361d8665caf3887eb71d4288000001f401670c72b95cc23a948e86R231)
for a more complex example):
   
   ```nu
   > ls | sort-by -c {|a, b| $a.size < $b.size }
   ╭───┬─────────────────────┬──────┬──────────┬────────────────╮
   │ # │        name         │ type │   size   │    modified    │

## Making sort more consistent

I think it's important for something as essential as `sort` to have
well-defined semantics. This PR contains some changes to try to make the
behavior of `sort` and `sort-by` consistent. In addition, after working
with the internals of sorting code, I have a much deeper understanding
of all of the edge cases. Here is my attempt to try to better define
some of the semantics of sorting (if you are just interested in changes,
skip to "User-Facing changes")

- `sort`, `sort -v`, and `sort-by` now all work the same. Each
individual sort implementation has been refactored into two functions in
`sort_utils.rs`: `sort`, and `sort_by`. These can also be used in other
parts of Nushell where values need to be sorted.
  - `sort` and `sort-by` used to handle `-i` and `-n` differently.
- `sort -n` would consider all values which can't be coerced into a
string to be equal
- `sort-by -i` and `sort-by -n` would only work if all values were
strings
- In this PR, insensitive sort only affects comparison between strings,
and natural sort only applies to numbers and strings (see below).
- (not a change) Before and after this PR, `sort` and `sort-by` support
sorting mixed types. There was a lot of discussion about potentially
making `sort` and `sort-by` only work on lists of homogeneous types, but
the general consensus was that `sort` should not error just because its
input contains incompatible types.
- In order to try to make working with data containing `null` values
easier, I changed the PartialOrd order to sort `Nothing` values to the
end of a list, regardless of what other types the list contains. Before,
`null` would be sorted before `Binary`, `CellPath`, and `Custom` values.
- (not a change) When sorted, lists of mixed types will contain sorted
values of each type in order, for the most part
- (not a change) For example, `[0x[1] (date now) "a" ("yesterday" | into
datetime) "b" 0x[0]]` will be sorted as `["a", "b", a day ago, now, [0],
[1]]`, where sorted strings appear first, then sorted datetimes, etc.
- (not a change) The exception to this is `Int`s and `Float`s, which
will intermix, `Strings` and `Glob`s, which will intermix, and `None` as
described above. Additionally, natural sort will intermix strings with
ints and floats (see below).
- Natural sort no longer coerce all inputs to strings.
- I did originally make natural only apply to strings, but @fdncred
pointed out that the previous behavior also allowed you to sort numeric
strings with numbers. This seems like a useful feature if we are trying
to support sorting with mixed types, so I settled on coercing only
numbers (int, float). This can be reverted if people don't like it.
- Here is an example of this behavior in action, which is the same
before and after this PR:
      ```nushell
      $ [1 "4" 3 "2"] | sort --natural
      ╭───┬───╮
      │ 0 │ 1 │
      │ 1 │ 2 │
      │ 2 │ 3 │
      │ 3 │ 4 │
      ╰───┴───╯
      ```



# User-Facing Changes

## New features

- Replaces the `columns` string parameter of `sort-by` with a cell path
or a closure.
  - The cell path parameter works exactly as you would expect
- By default, the `closure` parameter acts as a "key sort"; that is,
each element is transformed by the closure into a sorting key
- With the `--custom` (`-c`) parameter, you can define a comparison
function for completely custom sorting order.

## Behavior changes

<details>
<summary><code>sort -v</code> does not coerce record values to
strings</summary>

This was a bit of a surprising behavior, and is now unified with the
behavior of `sort` and `sort-by`. Here's an example where you can
observe the values being implicitly coerced into strings for sorting, as
they are sorted like strings rather than numbers:

Old behavior:

```nushell
$ {foo: 9 bar: 10} | sort -v
╭─────┬────╮
│ bar │ 10 │
│ foo │ 9  │
╰─────┴────╯
```

New behavior:

```nushell
$ {foo: 9 bar: 10} | sort -v
╭─────┬────╮
│ foo │ 9  │
│ bar │ 10 │
╰─────┴────╯
```

</details>


<details>
<summary>Changed <code>sort-by</code> parameters from
<code>string</code> to <code>cell-path</code> or <code>closure</code>.
Typical interactive usage is the same as before, but if passing a
variable to <code>sort-by</code> it must be a cell path (or closure),
not a string</summary>

Old behavior:

```nushell
$ let sort = "modified"
$ ls | sort-by $sort
╭───┬──────┬──────┬──────┬────────────────╮

<summary>Insensitve and natural sorting behavior reworked</summary>

Previously, the `-i` and `-n` worked differently for `sort` and
`sort-by` (see "Making sort more consistent"). Here are examples of how
these options result in different sorts now:

1. `sort -n`
- Old behavior (types other than numbers, strings, dates, and binary
sorted incorrectly)
      ```nushell
      $ [2sec 1sec] | sort -n
      ╭───┬──────╮
      │ 0 │ 2sec │
      │ 1 │ 1sec │
      ╰───┴──────╯
      ```
    - New behavior
      ```nushell
      $ [2sec 1sec] | sort -n
      ╭───┬──────╮
      │ 0 │ 1sec │
      │ 1 │ 2sec │
      ╰───┴──────╯
      ```
    
2. `sort-by -i`
- Old behavior (uppercase words appear before lowercase words as they
would in a typical sort, indicating this is not actually an insensitive
sort)
     ```nushell
     $ ["BAR" "bar" "foo" 2 "FOO" 1] | wrap a | sort-by -i a
     ╭───┬─────╮
     │ # │  a  │
     ├───┼─────┤
     │ 0 │   1 │
     │ 1 │   2 │
     │ 2 │ BAR │
     │ 3 │ FOO │
     │ 4 │ bar │
     │ 5 │ foo │
     ╰───┴─────╯
     ```
- New behavior (strings are sorted stably, indicating this is an
insensitive sort)
     ```nushell
     $ ["BAR" "bar" "foo" 2 "FOO" 1] | wrap a | sort-by -i a
     ╭───┬─────╮
     │ # │  a  │
     ├───┼─────┤
     │ 0 │   1 │
     │ 1 │   2 │
     │ 2 │ BAR │
     │ 3 │ bar │
     │ 4 │ foo │
     │ 5 │ FOO │
     ╰───┴─────╯
     ```

3. `sort-by -n`
- Old behavior (natural sort does not work when data contains non-string
values)
     ```nushell
     $ ["10" 8 "9"] | wrap a | sort-by -n a
     ╭───┬────╮
     │ # │ a  │
     ├───┼────┤
     │ 0 │  8 │
     │ 1 │ 10 │
     │ 2 │ 9  │
     ╰───┴────╯
     ```
   - New behavior
     ```nushell
     $ ["10" 8 "9"] | wrap a | sort-by -n a
     ╭───┬────╮
     │ # │ a  │
     ├───┼────┤
     │ 0 │  8 │
     │ 1 │ 9  │
     │ 2 │ 10 │
     ╰───┴────╯
     ```

</details>

<details>
<summary>
Sorting a list of non-record values with a non-existent column/path now
errors instead of sorting the values directly (<code>sort</code> should
be used for this, not <code>sort-by</code>)
</summary>

Old behavior:

```nushell
$ [2 1] | sort-by foo
╭───┬───╮
│ 0 │ 1 │
│ 1 │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
```

New behavior:

```nushell
$ [2 1] | sort-by foo
Error: nu:🐚:incompatible_path_access

  × Data cannot be accessed with a cell path
   ╭─[entry #29:1:17]
 1 │ [2 1] | sort-by foo
   ·                 ─┬─
   ·                  ╰── int doesn't support cell paths
   ╰────
```

</details>

<details>
<summary><code>sort</code> and <code>sort-by</code> output
<code>List</code> instead of <code>ListStream</code> </summary>

This isn't a meaningful change (unless I misunderstand the purpose of
ListStream), since `sort` and `sort-by` both need to collect in order to
do the sorting anyway, but is user observable.

Old behavior:

```nushell
$ ls | sort | describe -d
╭──────────┬───────────────────╮
│ type     │ stream            │
│ origin   │ nushell           │
│ subtype  │ {record 3 fields} │
│ metadata │ {record 1 field}  │
╰──────────┴───────────────────╯
```

```nushell
$ ls | sort-by name | describe -d
╭──────────┬───────────────────╮
│ type     │ stream            │
│ origin   │ nushell           │
│ subtype  │ {record 3 fields} │
│ metadata │ {record 1 field}  │
╰──────────┴───────────────────╯
```

New behavior:


```nushell
ls | sort | describe -d
╭────────┬─────────────────╮
│ type   │ list            │
│ length │ 22              │
│ values │ [table 22 rows] │
╰────────┴─────────────────╯
```

```nushell
$ ls | sort-by name | describe -d
╭────────┬─────────────────╮
│ type   │ list            │
│ length │ 22              │
│ values │ [table 22 rows] │
╰────────┴─────────────────╯
```

</details>

- `sort` now errors when nothing is piped in (`sort-by` already did
this)

# Tests + Formatting

I added lots of unit tests on the new sort implementation to enforce new
sort behaviors and prevent regressions.

Fixes #14000 by once again calling `set_current_dir()`, but doing so
with the `cwd` from the current state, rather than the (previously
removed) argument to `merge_env()`.

Improves startup time when using std-lib (#13842)
Updated summary for commit
[612e0e2](612e0e2160)
- While folks are welcome to read through the entire comments, the core
information is summarized here.

# Description

This PR drastically improves startup times of Nushell by only parsing a
single submodule of the Standard Library that provides the `banner` and
`pwd` commands. All other Standard Library commands and submodules are
parsed when imported by the user. This cuts startup times by more than
60%.

At the moment, we have stopped adding to `std-lib` because every
addition adds a small amount to the Nushell startup time.
With this change, we should once again be able to allow new
functionality to be added to the Standard Library without it impacting
`nu` startup times.

# User-Facing Changes

* Nushell now starts about 60% faster
* Breaking change: The `dirs` (Shells) aliases will return a warning
message that it will not be auto-loaded in the following release, along
with instructions on how to restore it (and disable the message)
* The `use std <submodule> *` syntax is available for convenience, but
should be avoided in scripts as it parses the entire `std` module and
all other submodules and places it in scope. The correct syntax to
*just* load a submodule is `use std/<submodule> *` (asterisk optional).
The slash is important. This will be documented.
* `use std *` can be used for convenience to load all of the library but
still incurs the full loading-time.
* `std/dirs`: Semi-breaking change. The `dirs` command replaces the
`show` command. This is more in line with the directory-stack
functionality found in other shells. Existing users will not be impacted
by this as the alias (`shells`) remains the same.

* Breaking-change: Technically a breaking change, but probably only
impacts maintainers of `std`. The virtual path for the standard library
has changed. It could previously be imported using its virtual path (and
technically, this would have been the correct way to do it):

  ```nu
  use NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR/std
  ```

  The path is now simply `std/`:

  ```nu
  use std
  ```

  All submodules have moved accordingly.
  

# Timings

Comparisons below were made:

* In a temporary, clean config directory using `$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME =
(mktemp -d)`.
* `nu` was run with a release build
* `nu` was run one time to generate the default `config.nu` (etc.) files
- Otherwise timings would include the user-prompt
* The shell was exited and then restarted several times to get timing
samples

(Note: Old timings based on 0.97 rather than 0.98, but in the range of
being accurate)

| Scenario | `$nu.startup-time` |
| --- | --- |
| 0.97.2
([aaaab8e](aaaab8e070))
Without this PR | 23ms - 24ms |
| This PR with deprecated commands | 9ms - <11ms |
| This PR after deprecated commands are removed in following release |
8ms - <10ms |
| Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-std-lib` | 6.1ms to 6.4ms |
| Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file` | 3.1ms - 3.6ms
|
| Final PR (remove deprecated), using `--no-config-file --no-std-lib` |
1ms - 1.5ms |

*These last two timings point to the opportunity for further
optimization (see comment in thread below (will link once I write it).*

# Implementation details for future maintenance

* `use std banner` is a ridiculously deceptive call. That call parses
and imports *all* of `std` into scope. Simply replacing it with `use
std/core *` is essentially what saves ~14-15ms. This *only* imports the
submodule with the `banner` and `pwd` commands.

* From the code-comments, the reason that `NU_STDLIB_VIRTUAL_DIR` was
used as a prefix was so that there wouldn't be an issue if a user had a
`./std/mod.nu` in the current directory. This does **not** appear to be
an issue. After removing the prefix, I tested with both a relative
module as well as one in the `$env.NU_LIB_DIRS` path, and in all cases
the *internal* `std` still took precedence.

* By removing the prefix, users can now `use std` (and variants) without
requiring that it already be parsed and in scope.

* In the next release, we'll stop autoloading the `dirs` (shells)
functionality. While this only costs an additional 1-1.5ms, I think it's
better moved to the `config.nu` where the user can optionally remove it.
The main reason is its use of aliases (which have also caused issues) -
The `n`, `p`, and `g` short-commands are valuable real-estate, and users
may want to map these to something else.
  
For this release, there's an `deprecated_dirs` module that is still
autoloaded. As with the top-level commands, use of these will give a
deprecation warning with instructions on how to handle going forward.

To help with this, moved the aliases to their own submodule inside the
`dirs` module.

* Also sneaks in a small change where the top-level `dirs` command is
now the replacement for `dirs show`

* Fixed a double-import of `assert` in `dirs.nu`
* The `show_banner` step is replaced with simply `banner` rather than
re-importing it.

* A `virtual_path` may now be referenced with either a forward-slash or
a backward-slash on Windows. This allows `use std/<submodule>` to work
on all platforms.

# Performance side-notes:

* Future parsing and/or IR improvements should improve performance even
further.
* While the existing load time penalty of `std-lib` was not noticeable
on many systems, Nushell runs on a wide-variety of hardware and OS
platforms. Slower platforms will naturally see a bigger jump in
performance here. For users starting multiple Nushell sessions
frequently (e.g., `tmux`, Zellij, `screen`, et. al.) it is recommended
to keep total startup time (including user configuration) under ~250ms.

# Tests + Formatting

* All tests are green

* Updated tests:
- Removed the test that confirmed that `std` was loaded (since we
don't).
- Removed the `shells` test since it is not autoloaded. Main `dirs.nu`
functionality is tested through `stdlib-test`.
- Many tests assumed that the library was fully loaded, because it was
(even though we didn't intend for it to be). Fixed those tests.
- Tests now import only the necessary submodules (e.g., `use
std/assert`, rather than `use std assert`)
- Some tests *thought* they were loading `std/log`, but were doing so
improperly. This was masked by the now-fixed "load-everything-into-scope
bug". Local CI would pass due the `$env.NU_LOG_<...>` variables being
inherited from the calling process, but would fail in the "clean" GitHub
CI environment. These tests have also been fixed.

 * Added additional tests for the changes

Make get_env_var return a reference to a Value (#13987)
# Description
Title says it all, changes `EngineState::get_env_var` to return a
`Option<&'a Value>` instead of an owned `Option<Value>`. This avoids
some unnecessary clones.

I also made a similar change to the `PluginExecutionContext` trait.
