Jobs (#14883)
# Description

This is an attempt to improve the nushell situation with regard to issue
#247.

This PR implements:
- [X] spawning jobs: `job spawn { do_background_thing }`
Jobs will be implemented as threads and not forks, to maintain a
consistent behavior between unix and windows.

- [X] listing running jobs: `job list`
This should allow users to list what background tasks they currently
have running.

- [X] killing jobs: `job kill <id>`
- [X] interupting nushell code in the job's background thread
- [X] interrupting the job's currently-running process, if any.

Things that should be taken into consideration for implementation:
- [X] (unix-only) Handling `TSTP` signals while executing code and
turning the current program into a background job, and unfreezing them
in foreground `job unfreeze`.

- [X] Ensuring processes spawned by background jobs get distinct process
groups from the nushell shell itself

This PR originally aimed to implement some of the following, but it is
probably ideal to be left for another PR (scope creep)
- Disowning external process jobs (`job dispatch`)
- Inter job communication (`job send/recv`)

Roadblocks encountered so far:
- Nushell does some weird terminal sequence magics which make so that
when a background process or thread prints something to stderr and the
prompt is idle, the stderr output ends up showing up weirdly

More precise ErrorKind::NotFound errors (#15149)
In this PR, the two new variants for `ErrorKind`, `FileNotFound`
and `DirectoryNotFound` with a nice `not_found_as` method for the
`ErrorKind` to easily specify the `NotFound` errors. I also updated some
places where I could of think of with these new variants and the message
for `NotFound` is no longer "Entity not found" but "Not found" to be
less strange.

This PR makes two changes related to [run-time pipeline input type
checking](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/14741):

1. The check which bypasses type checking for commands with only
`Type::Nothing` input types has been expanded to work with commands with
multiple `Type::Nothing` inputs for different outputs. For example,
`ast` has three input/output type pairs, but all of the inputs are
`Type::Nothing`:
  ```
  ╭───┬─────────┬────────╮
  │ # │  input  │ output │
  ├───┼─────────┼────────┤
  │ 0 │ nothing │ table  │
  │ 1 │ nothing │ record │
  │ 2 │ nothing │ string │
  ╰───┴─────────┴────────╯
  ```
Before this PR, passing a value (which would otherwise be ignored) to
`ast` caused a run-time type error:
  ```
    Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
  
    × Input type not supported.
     ╭─[entry #1:1:6]
   1 │ echo 123 | ast -j -f "hi" 
     ·      ─┬─   ─┬─
· │ ╰── only nothing, nothing, and nothing input data is supported
     ·       ╰── input type: int
     ╰────
  
  ```

  After this PR, no error is raised.

This doesn't really matter for `ast` (the only other built-in command
with a similar input/output type signature is `cal`), but it's more
logically consistent.

2. Bypasses input type-checking (parse-time ***and*** run-time) for some
(not all, see below) commands which have both a `Type::Nothing` input
and some other non-nothing `Type` input. This is accomplished by adding
a `Type::Any` input with the same output as the corresponding
`Type::Nothing` input/output pair.
  &nbsp;
This is necessary because some commands are intended to operate on an
argument with empty pipeline input, or operate on an empty pipeline
input with no argument. This causes issues when a value is implicitly
passed to one of these commands. I [discovered this
issue](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615962413203718156/1329945784346611712)
when working with an example where the `open` command is used in
`sort-by` closure:
```nushell
ls | sort-by { open -r $in.name | lines | length }
```

Before this PR (but after the run-time input type checking PR), this
error is raised:

```
Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type

  × Input type not supported.
   ╭─[entry #1:1:1]
 1 │ ls | sort-by { open -r $in.name | lines | length }
   · ─┬             ──┬─
   ·  │               ╰── only nothing and string input data is supported
   ·  ╰── input type: record<name: string, type: string, size: filesize, modified: date>
   ╰────
```

While this error is technically correct, we don't actually want to
return an error here since `open` ignores its pipeline input when an
argument is passed. This would be a parse-time error as well if the
parser was able to infer that the closure input type was a record, but
our type inference isn't that robust currently, so this technically
incorrect form snuck by type checking until #14741.

However, there are some commands with the same kind of type signature
where this behavior is actually desirable. This means we can't just
bypass type-checking for any command with a `Type::Nothing` input. These
commands operate on true `null` values, rather than ignoring their
input. For example, `length` returns `0` when passed a `null` value.
It's correct, and even desirable, to throw a run-time error when
`length` is passed an unexpected type. For example, a string, which
should instead be measured with `str length`:

```nushell
["hello" "world"] | sort-by { length }
# => Error: nu:🐚:only_supports_this_input_type
# => 
# =>   × Input type not supported.
# =>    ╭─[entry #32:1:10]
# =>  1 │ ["hello" "world"] | sort-by { length }
# =>    ·          ───┬───              ───┬──
# =>    ·             │                    ╰── only list<any>, binary, and nothing input data is supported
# =>    ·             ╰── input type: string
# =>    ╰────
```

We need a more robust way for commands to express how they handle the
`Type::Nothing` input case. I think a possible solution here is to allow
commands to express that they operate on `PipelineData::Empty`, rather
than `Value::Nothing`. Then, a command like `open` could have an empty
pipeline input type rather than a `Type::Nothing`, and the parse-time
and run-time pipeline input type checks know that `open` will safely
ignore an incorrectly typed input.

That being said, we have a release coming up and the above solution
might take a while to implement, so while unfortunate, bypassing input
type-checking for these problematic commands serves as a workaround to
avoid breaking changes in the release until a more robust solution is
implemented.

This PR bypasses input type-checking for the following commands:
* `load-env`: can take record of envvars as input or argument
* `nu-check`: checks input string or filename argument 
* `open`: can take filename as input or argument
* `polars when`: can be used with input, or can be chained with another
`polars when`
* `stor insert`: data record can be passed as input or argument
* `stor update`: data record can be passed as input or argument
* `format date`: `--list` ignores input value
* `into datetime`: `--list` ignores input value (also added a
`Type::Nothing` input which was missing from this command)

These commands have a similar input/output signature to the above
commands, but are working as intended:
* `cd`: The input/output signature was actually incorrect, `cd` always
ignores its input. I fixed this in this PR.
* `generate`
* `get`
* `history import` 
* `interleave`
* `into bool`
* `length`

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

As a temporary workaround, pipeline input type-checking for the
following commands has been bypassed to avoid undesirable run-time input
type checking errors which were previously not caught at parse-time:
* `open`
* `load-env`
* `format date`
* `into datetime`
* `nu-check`
* `stor insert`
* `stor update`
* `polars when`

As mentioned in #10698, we have too many `ShellError` variants, with
some even overlapping in meaning. This PR simplifies and improves I/O
error handling by restructuring `ShellError` related to I/O issues.
Previously, `ShellError::IOError` only contained a message string,
making it convenient but overly generic. It was widely used without
providing spans (#4323).

This PR introduces a new `ShellError::Io` variant that consolidates
multiple I/O-related errors (except for `ShellError::NetworkFailure`,
which remains distinct for now). The new `ShellError::Io` variant
replaces the following:

- `FileNotFound`
- `FileNotFoundCustom`
- `IOInterrupted`
- `IOError`
- `IOErrorSpanned`
- `NotADirectory`
- `DirectoryNotFound`
- `MoveNotPossible`
- `CreateNotPossible`
- `ChangeAccessTimeNotPossible`
- `ChangeModifiedTimeNotPossible`
- `RemoveNotPossible`
- `ReadingFile`

## The `IoError`
`IoError` includes the following fields:

1. **`kind`**: Extends `std::io::ErrorKind` to specify the type of I/O
error without needing new `ShellError` variants. This aligns with the
approach used in `std::io::Error`. This adds a second dimension to error
reporting by combining the `kind` field with `ShellError` variants,
making it easier to describe errors in more detail. As proposed by
@kubouch in [#design-discussion on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1323699197165178930),
this helps reduce the number of `ShellError` variants. In the error
report, the `kind` field is displayed as the "source" of the error,
e.g., "I/O error," followed by the specific kind of I/O error.
2. **`span`**: A non-optional field to encourage providing spans for
better error reporting (#4323).
3. **`path`**: Optional `PathBuf` to give context about the file or
directory involved in the error (#7695). If provided, it’s shown as a
help entry in error reports.
4. **`additional_context`**: Allows adding custom messages when the
span, kind, and path are insufficient. This is rendered in the error
report at the labeled span.
5. **`location`**: Sometimes, I/O errors occur in the engine itself and
are not caused directly by user input. In such cases, if we don’t have a
span and must set it to `Span::unknown()`, we need another way to
reference the error. For this, the `location` field uses the new
`Location` struct, which records the Rust file and line number where the
error occurred. This ensures that we at least know the Rust code
location that failed, helping with debugging. To make this work, a new
`location!` macro was added, which retrieves `file!`, `line!`, and
`column!` values accurately. If `Location::new` is used directly, it
issues a warning to remind developers to use the macro instead, ensuring
consistent and correct usage.

### Constructor Behavior
`IoError` provides five constructor methods:
- `new` and `new_with_additional_context`: Used for errors caused by
user input and require a valid (non-unknown) span to ensure precise
error reporting.
- `new_internal` and `new_internal_with_path`: Used for internal errors
where a span is not available. These methods require additional context
and the `Location` struct to pinpoint the source of the error in the
engine code.
- `factory`: Returns a closure that maps an `std::io::Error` to an
`IoError`. This is useful for handling multiple I/O errors that share
the same span and path, streamlining error handling in such cases.

## New Report Look
This is simulation how the I/O errors look like (the `open crates` is
simulated to show how internal errors are referenced now):
![Screenshot 2025-01-25
190426](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a41b6aa6-a440-497d-bbcc-3ac0121c9226)

## `Span::test_data()`
To enable better testing, `Span::test_data()` now returns a value
distinct from `Span::unknown()`. Both `Span::test_data()` and
`Span::unknown()` refer to invalid source code, but having a separate
value for test data helps identify issues during testing while keeping
spans unique.

## Cursed Sneaky Error Transfers
I removed the conversions between `std::io::Error` and `ShellError` as
they often removed important information and were used too broadly to
handle I/O errors. This also removed the problematic implementation
found here:

7ea4895513/crates/nu-protocol/src/errors/shell_error.rs (L1534-L1583)

which hid some downcasting from I/O errors and made it hard to trace
where `ShellError` was converted into `std::io::Error`. To address this,
I introduced a new struct called `ShellErrorBridge`, which explicitly
defines this transfer behavior. With `ShellErrorBridge`, we can now
easily grep the codebase to locate and manage such conversions.

## Miscellaneous
- Removed the OS error added in #14640, as it’s no longer needed.
- Improved error messages in `glob_from` (#14679).
- Trying to open a directory with `open` caused a permissions denied
error (it's just what the OS provides). I added a `is_dir` check to
provide a better error in that case.

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

- Error outputs now include more detailed information and are formatted
differently, including updated error codes.
- The structure of `ShellError` has changed, requiring plugin authors
and embedders to update their implementations.

Enable conditional source and use patterns by allowing null as a no-op module (#14773)
Related:
- #14329
- #13872
- #8214

# Description & User-Facing Changes

This PR allows enables the following uses, which are all no-op.
```nushell
source null
source-env null
use null
overlay use null
```

The motivation for this change is conditional sourcing of files. For
example, with this change `login.nu` may be deprecated and replaced with
the following code in `config.nu`
```nushell
const login_module = if $nu.is-login { "login.nu" } else { null }
source $login_module
```

# Tests + Formatting
I'm hoping for CI to pass 😄

In #14647 I added the option `"auto"` to be a valid option for
`$env.config.use_ansi_coloring`. That improves the decision making
whether ansi colors should be used or not but that makes it hard for
custom commands to respect that value as the config might now be a
non-boolean value. To retrieve that evaluated value I added a new
command called `config use-colors` that returns an evaluated boolean
that may be used to decide if colors should be used or not.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This

Scripts that previously just checked `$env.config.use_ansi_coloring`
should now use `config use-colors` for their color decision making.

In v0.101.0 we got `config nu --default` and `config nu --doc` which
return a default config. That default config is valid `.nu`, so it
should have the metadata for it. We defined our MIME types [here in the

added that.

This is supposed to be a Quality-of-Life command that just makes some
things easier when dealing with a nushell config. Really all it does is
show you the current config in a flattened state. That's it. I was
thinking this could be useful when comparing config settings between old
and new config files. There are still room for improvements. For
instance, closures are listed as an int. They can be updated with a
`view source <int>` pipeline but that could all be built in too.

The command works by getting the current configuration, serializing it
to json, then flattening that json. BTW, there's a new flatten_json.rs
in nu-utils. Theoretically all this mess could be done in a custom
command script, but it's proven to be exceedingly difficult based on the
work from discord.

Here's some more complex items to flatten.

Doc file fixes (#14608)
# Description

With great thanks to @fdncred and especially @PerchunPak (see #14601)
for finding and fixing a number of issues that I pulled in here due to
the filename changes and upcoming freeze.

This PR primarily fixes a poor wording choice in the new filenames and
`config` command options. The fact that these were called
`sample_config.nu` (etc.) and accessed via `config --sample` created a
great deal of confusion. These were never intended to be used as-is as
config files, but rather as in-shell documentation.

As such, I've renamed them:

* `sample_config.nu` becomes `doc_config.nu`
* `sample_env.nu` becomes `doc_env.nu`
* `config nu --sample` becomes `config nu --doc`
* `config env --sample` because `config env --doc`

Also the following:

* Updates `doc_config.nu` with a few additional comment-fixes on top of
@PerchunPak's changes.
* Adds version numbers to all files - Will need to update the version
script to add some files after this PR.
* Additional doc on plugin and plugin_gc configuration which I had
failed to previously completely update from the older wording
* Updated the comments in the `scaffold_*.nu` files to point people to
`help config`/`help nu` so that, if things change in the future, it will
become more difficult for the comments to be outdated.
* 

# User-Facing Changes

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

changes.

Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or
screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.
-->
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
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This

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

Always load default env/config values (#14249)
# Release-Notes Short Description

* Nushell now always loads its internal `default_env.nu` before the user
`env.nu` is loaded, then loads the internal `default_config.nu` before
the user's `config.nu` is loaded. This allows for a simpler
user-configuration experience. The Configuration Chapter of the Book
will be updated soon with the new behavior.

# Description

Implements the main ideas in #13671 and a few more:

* Users can now specify only the environment and config options they
want to override in *their* `env.nu` and `config.nu`and yet still have
access to all of the defaults:
* `default_env.nu` (internally defined) will be loaded whenever (and
before) the user's `env.nu` is loaded.
* `default_config.nu` (internally defined) will be loaded whenever (and
before) the user's `config.nu` is loaded.
* No more 900+ line config out-of-the-box.
* Faster startup (again): ~40-45% improvement in launch time with a
default configuration.
* New keys that are added to the defaults in the future will
automatically be available to all users after updating Nushell. No need
to regenerate config to get the new defaults.
* It is now possible to have different internal defaults (which will be
used with `-c` and scripts) vs. REPL defaults. This would have solved
many of the user complaints about the [`display_errors`
implementation](https://www.nushell.sh/blog/2024-09-17-nushell_0_98_0.html#non-zero-exit-codes-are-now-errors-toc).
* A basic "scaffold" `config.nu` and `env.nu` are created on first
launch (if the config directory isn't present).
* Improved "out-of-the-box" experience (OOBE) - No longer asks to create
the files; the minimal scaffolding will be automatically created. If
deleted, they will not be regenerated. This provides a better
"out-of-the-box" experience for the user as they no longer have to make
this decision (without much info on the pros or cons) when first
launching.
* <s>(New: 2024-11-07) Runs the env_conversions process after the
`default_env.nu` is loaded so that users can treat `Path`/`PATH` as
lists in their own config.</s>
* (New: 2024-11-08) Given the changes in #13802, `default_config.nu`
will be a minimal file to minimize load-times. This shaves another (on
my system) ~3ms off the base launch time.
* Related: Keybindings, menus, and hooks that are already internal
defaults are no longer duplicated in `$env.config`. The documentation
will be updated to cover these scenarios.
* (New: 2024-11-08) Move existing "full" `default_config.nu` to
`sample_config.nu` for short-term "documentation" purposes.
* (New: 2024-11-18) Move the `dark-theme` and `light-theme` to Standard
Library and demonstrate their use - Also improves startup times, but
we're reaching the limit of optimization.
* (New: 2024-11-18) Extensively documented/commented `sample_env.nu` and
`sample_config.nu`. These can be displayed in-shell using (for example)
`config nu --sample | nu-highlight | less -R`. Note: Much of this will
eventually be moved to or (some) duplicated in the Doc. But for now,
this some nice in-shell doc that replaces the older
"commented/documented default".
* (New: 2024-11-20) Runs the `ENV_CONVERSIONS` process (1) after the
`default_env.nu` (allows `PATH` to be used as a list in user's `env.nu`)
and (2) before `default_config.nu` is loaded (allows user's
`ENV_CONVERSIONS` from their `env.nu` to be used in their `config.nu`).
* <s>(New: 2024-11-20) The default `ENV_CONVERSIONS` is now an empty
record. The internal Rust code handles `PATH` (and variants) conversions
regardless of the `ENV_CONVERSIONS` variable. This shaves a *very* small
amount of time off the startup.</s> Reset - Looks like there might be a
bug in `nu-enginer::env::ensure_path()` on Windows that would need to be
fixed in order for this to work.

# User-Facing Changes

By default, you shouldn't see much, if any, change when running this
with your existing configuration.

To see the greatest benefit from these changes, you'll probably want to
start with a "fresh" config. This can be easily tested using something
like:

```nushell
let temp_home = (mktemp -d)
$env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME = $temp_home
$env.XDG_DATA_HOME = $temp_home
./target/release/nu
```

You should see a message where the (mostly empty) `env.nu` and
`config.nu` are created on first start. Defaults should be the same (or
similar to) those before the PR. Please let me know if you notice any
differences.

---

Users should now specify configuration in terms of overrides of each
setting. For instance, rather than modifying `history` settings in the
monolithic `config.nu`, the following is recommended in an updated
`config.nu`:

```nu
$env.config.history = {
  file_format: sqlite,
  sync_on_enter: true
  isolation: true
  max_size: 1_000_000
}
```

or even just:

```nu
$env.config.history.file_format = sqlite
$env.config.history.isolation: true
$env.config.history.max_size = 1_000_000
```

Note: It seems many users are already appending a `source my_config.nu`
(or similar pattern) to the end of the existing `config.nu` to make
updates easier. In this case, they will likely want to remove all of the
previous defaults and just move their `my_config.nu` to `config.nu`.

Note: It should be unlikely that there are any breaking changes here,
but there's a slim chance that some code, somewhere, *expects* an
absence of certain config values. Otherwise, all config values are
available before and after this change.

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

Replace raw usize IDs with new types (#13832)
# Description

In this PR I replaced most of the raw usize IDs with
[newtypes](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rust-by-example/generics/new_types.html).
Some other IDs already started using new types and in this PR I did not
want to touch them. To make the implementation less repetitive, I made
use of a generic `Id<T>` with marker structs. If this lands I would try
to move make other IDs also in this pattern.

Also at some places I needed to use `cast`, I'm not sure if the type was
incorrect and therefore casting not needed or if actually different ID
types intermingle sometimes.

# User-Facing Changes

Probably few, if you got a `DeclId` via a function and placed it later
again it will still work.

Change the usage misnomer to "description" (#13598)
# Description
    
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.

Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.

# User-Facing Changes

`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`

Breaking change in the plugin protocol:

In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`

The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`

# Tests + Formatting
- Updated plugin protocol specific changes
# After Submitting
- [ ] update plugin protocol doc

Internal representation (IR) compiler and evaluator (#13330)
# Description

This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.

Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.

Motivations for IR:

1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.

The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.

# Example

```nushell
view ir { |data|
  mut sum = 0
  for n in $data {
    $sum += $n
  }
  $sum
}
```
  
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
   0: load-literal           %0, int(0)
   1: store-variable         var 904, %0 # let
   2: drain                  %0
   3: drop                   %0
   4: load-variable          %1, var 903
   5: iterate                %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
   6: store-variable         var 905, %0
   7: load-variable          %0, var 904
   8: load-variable          %2, var 905
   9: binary-op              %0, Math(Plus), %2
  10: span                   %0
  11: store-variable         var 904, %0
  12: load-literal           %0, nothing
  13: drain                  %0
  14: jump                   5
  15: drop                   %0          # label(0), from(5:)
  16: drain                  %0
  17: load-variable          %0, var 904
  18: return                 %0
```

# Benchmarks

All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.

## Iterative Fibonacci sequence

This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.

```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
  mut a = 0
  mut b = 1
  for _ in 2..=$n {
    let c = $a + $b
    $a = $b
    $b = $c
  }
  $b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }

[random-bytes.nu](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/benchmarks/random-bytes.nu)

I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.

# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).

# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.

# After Submitting

Define keywords (#13213)
# Description
Some commands in `nu-cmd-lang` are not classified as keywords even
though they should be.

# User-Facing Changes
In the output of `which`, `scope commands`, and `help commands`, some
commands will now have a `type` of `keyword` instead of `built-in`.

Rewrite run_external.rs (#12921)
This PR is a complete rewrite of `run_external.rs`. The main goal of the
rewrite is improving readability, but it also fixes some bugs related to
argument handling and the PATH variable (fixes
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6011).

I'll discuss some technical details to make reviewing easier.

## Argument handling

Quoting arguments for external commands is hard. Like, *really* hard.
We've had more than a dozen issues and PRs dedicated to quoting
arguments (see Appendix) but the current implementation is still buggy.

Here's a demonstration of the buggy behavior:

```nu
let foo = "'bar'"
^touch $foo            # This creates a file named `bar`, but it should be `'bar'`
^touch ...[ "'bar'" ]  # Same
```

I'll describe how this PR deals with argument handling.

First, we'll introduce the concept of **bare strings**. Bare strings are
**string literals** that are either **unquoted** or **quoted by
backticks** [^1]. Strings within a list literal are NOT considered bare
strings, even if they are unquoted or quoted by backticks.

When a bare string is used as an argument to external process, we need
to perform tilde-expansion, glob-expansion, and inner-quotes-removal, in
that order. "Inner-quotes-removal" means transforming from
`--option="value"` into `--option=value`.

## `.bat` files and CMD built-ins

On Windows, `.bat` files and `.cmd` files are considered executable, but
they need `CMD.exe` as the interpreter. The Rust standard library
supports running `.bat` files directly and will spawn `CMD.exe` under
the hood (see
[documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/process/index.html#windows-argument-splitting)).
However, other extensions are not supported [^2].

Nushell also supports a selected number of CMD built-ins. The problem
with CMD is that it uses a different set of quoting rules. Correctly
quoting for CMD requires using
[Command::raw_arg()](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/windows/process/trait.CommandExt.html#tymethod.raw_arg)
and manually quoting CMD special characters, on top of quoting from the
Nushell side. ~~I decided that this is too complex and chose to reject
special characters in CMD built-ins instead [^3]. Hopefully this will
not affact real-world use cases.~~ I've implemented escaping that works
reasonably well.

## `which-support` feature

The `which` crate is now a hard dependency of `nu-command`, making the
`which-support` feature essentially useless. The `which` crate is
already a hard dependency of `nu-cli`, and we should consider removing
the `which-support` feature entirely.

## Appendix

Here's a list of quoting-related issues and PRs in rough chronological
order.

[^1]: The idea that backtick-quoted strings act like bare strings was
introduced by Kubouch and briefly mentioned in [the language
reference](https://www.nushell.sh/lang-guide/chapters/strings_and_text.html#backtick-quotes).

[^2]: The documentation also said "running .bat scripts in this way may
be removed in the future and so should not be relied upon", which is
another reason to move away from this. But again, quoting for CMD is
hard.

[^3]: If anyone wants to try, the best resource I found on the topic is
[this](https://daviddeley.com/autohotkey/parameters/parameters.htm).

Make get_full_help take &dyn Command (#12903)
# Description
Changes `get_full_help` to take a `&dyn Command` instead of multiple
arguments (`&Signature`, `&Examples` `is_parser_keyword`). All of these
arguments can be gathered from a `Command`, so there is no need to pass
the pieces to `get_full_help`.

This PR also fixes an issue where the search terms are not shown if
`--help` is used on a command.

Use CommandType in more places (#12832)
# Description
Kind of a vague title, but this PR does two main things:
1. Rather than overriding functions like `Command::is_parser_keyword`,
this PR instead changes commands to override `Command::command_type`.
The `CommandType` returned by `Command::command_type` is then used to
automatically determine whether `Command::is_parser_keyword` and the
other `is_{type}` functions should return true. These changes allow us
to remove the `CommandType::Other` case and should also guarantee than
only one of the `is_{type}` functions on `Command` will return true.
2. Uses the new, reworked `Command::command_type` function in the `scope
commands` and `which` commands.


# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change for `scope commands`: multiple columns (`is_builtin`,
`is_keyword`, `is_plugin`, etc.) have been merged into the `type`
column.
- Breaking change: the `which` command can now report `plugin` or
`keyword` instead of `built-in` in the `type` column. It may also now
report `external` instead of `custom` in the `type` column for known
`extern`s.

Shrink the size of Expr (#12610)
# Description
Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from
64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and
`Type` from 32 to 24 bytes.

This was accomplished by:
- for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`),
merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct
(e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`).
- replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and
`Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization
makes sense.

By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance
improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the
memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a
difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB).

Remove the Value::Block case (#12582)
# Description
`Value` describes the types of first-class values that users and scripts
can create, manipulate, pass around, and store. However, `Block`s are
not first-class values in the language, so this PR removes it from
`Value`. This removes some unnecessary code, and this change should be
invisible to the user except for the change to `scope modules` described
below.

# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change: the output of `scope modules` was changed so that
`env_block` is now `has_env_block` which is a boolean value instead of a
`Block`.

# After Submitting
Update the language guide possibly.

Copy-on-write for record values (#12305)
# Description
This adds a `SharedCow` type as a transparent copy-on-write pointer that
clones to unique on mutate.

As an initial test, the `Record` within `Value::Record` is shared.

There are some pretty big wins for performance. I'll post benchmark
results in a comment. The biggest winner is nested access, as that would
have cloned the records for each cell path follow before and it doesn't
have to anymore.

The reusability of the `SharedCow` type is nice and I think it could be
used to clean up the previous work I did with `Arc` in `EngineState`.
It's meant to be a mostly transparent clone-on-write that just clones on
`.to_mut()` or `.into_owned()` if there are actually multiple
references, but avoids cloning if the reference is unique.

# User-Facing Changes
- `Value::Record` field is a different type (plugin authors)

Rename IoStream to OutDest (#12433)
# Description
I spent a while trying to come up with a good name for what is currently
`IoStream`. Looking back, this name is not the best, because it:
1. Implies that it is a stream, when it all it really does is specify
the output destination for a stream/pipeline.
2. Implies that it handles input and output, when it really only handles
output.

So, this PR renames `IoStream` to `OutDest` instead, which should be
more clear.

Add command_prelude module (#12291)
# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
    record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
    ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```

This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
    ast::{Call, CellPath},
    engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
    record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
    PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```

This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.

ls, rm, cp, open, touch, mkdir: Don't expand tilde if input path is quoted string or a variable. (#12232)
# Description
Fixes:  #11887
Fixes: #11626

This pr unify the tilde expand behavior over several filesystem relative
commands. It follows the same rule with glob expansion:
|  command  |  result |
| ----------- |  ------ |
| ls ~/aaa  | expand tilde
| ls "~/aaa"  | don't expand tilde
| let f = "~/aaa"; ls $f | don't expand tilde, if you want to: use `ls
($f \| path expand)`
| let f: glob = "~/aaa"; ls $f | expand tilde, they don't expand on
`mkdir`, `touch` comamnd.

Actually I'm not sure for 4th item, currently it's expanding is just
because it followes the same rule with glob expansion.

### About the change
It changes `expand_path_with` to accept a new argument called
`expand_tilde`, if it's true, expand it, if not, just keep it as `~`
itself.

# User-Facing Changes
After this change, `ls "~/aaa"` won't expand tilde.

IO and redirection overhaul (#11934)
# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.

To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.

This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |

(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)

This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.

Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.

# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
  ```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.

  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
  ```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.

- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:

  1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`
     ```
     a
     a
     ╭────────────╮
     │ empty list │
     ╰────────────╯
     ```
  2. `1..2 | each { (^echo a) }`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │ 1 │ a │
     ╰───┴───╯
     ```
  3. `1..2 | (each { ^echo a })`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │   │   │
     │ 1 │ a │
     │   │   │
     ╰───┴───╯
     ```

  But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:
  ```
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ 0 │ a │
  │ 1 │ a │
  ╰───┴───╯
  ```

- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.

- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
  ```nushell
  (nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
  ```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.

- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
  ```nushell
  (^echo a; ^echo b)
  ```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").

- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).

# After Submitting
The language guide and other documentation will need to be updated.

This PR adds a new evaluator path with callbacks to a mutable trait
object implementing a Debugger trait. The trait object can do anything,
e.g., profiling, code coverage, step debugging. Currently,
entering/leaving a block and a pipeline element is marked with
callbacks, but more callbacks can be added as necessary. Not all
callbacks need to be used by all debuggers; unused ones are simply empty
calls. A simple profiler is implemented as a proof of concept.

The debugging support is implementing by making `eval_xxx()` functions
generic depending on whether we're debugging or not. This has zero
computational overhead, but makes the binary slightly larger (see
benchmarks below). `eval_xxx()` variants called from commands (like
`eval_block_with_early_return()` in `each`) are chosen with a dynamic
dispatch for two reasons: to not grow the binary size due to duplicating
the code of many commands, and for the fact that it isn't possible
because it would make Command trait objects object-unsafe.

In the future, I hope it will be possible to allow plugin callbacks such
that users would be able to implement their profiler plugins instead of
having to recompile Nushell.
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/) would also be
interesting to explore.

Try `help debug profile`.

## Screenshots

Basic output:

![profiler_new](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/418b9df0-b659-4dcb-b023-2d5fcef2c865)

To profile with more granularity, increase the profiler depth (you'll
see that repeated `is-windows` calls take a large chunk of total time,
making it a good candidate for optimizing):

![profiler_new_m3](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/636d756d-5d56-460c-a372-14716f65f37f)

## Benchmarks

### Binary size

Binary size increase vs. main: **+40360 bytes**. _(Both built with
`--release --features=extra,dataframe`.)_

### Time

```nushell
# bench_debug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'debug:'
let res2 = bench { debug profile $test } --pretty
print $res2
```

```nushell
# bench_nodebug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'no debug:'
let res1 = bench { do $test } --pretty
print $res1
```

`cargo run --release -- bench_debug.nu` is consistently 1--2 ms slower
than `cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` due to the collection
overhead + gathering the report. This is expected. When gathering more
stuff, the overhead is obviously higher.

`cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` vs. `nu bench_nodebug.nu` I
didn't measure any difference. Both benchmarks report times between 97
and 103 ms randomly, without one being consistently higher than the
other. This suggests that at least in this particular case, when not
running any debugger, there is no runtime overhead.

## API changes

This PR adds a generic parameter to all `eval_xxx` functions that forces
you to specify whether you use the debugger. You can resolve it in two
ways:
* Use a provided helper that will figure it out for you. If you wanted
to use `eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`, call `let eval_block =
get_eval_block(&engine_state); eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`
* If you know you're in an evaluation path that doesn't need debugger
support, call `eval_block::<WithoutDebug>(&engine_state, ...)` (this is
the case of hooks, for example).

I tried to add more explanation in the docstring of `debugger_trait.rs`.

## TODO

- [x] Better profiler output to reduce spam of iterative commands like
`each`
- [x] Resolve `TODO: DEBUG` comments
- [x] Resolve unwraps
- [x] Add doc comments
- [x] Add usage and extra usage for `debug profile`, explaining all
columns

Currently, there's multiple places that look for a config directory, and
each of them has different error messages when it can't be found. This
PR makes a `ConfigDirNotFound` error to standardize the error message
for all of these cases.

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

Previously, the errors in `create_nu_constant()` would say which config
file Nushell was trying to get when it couldn't find the config
directory. Now it doesn't. However, I think that's fine, given that it
doesn't matter whether it couldn't find the config directory while
looking for `login.nu` or `env.nu`, it only matters that it couldn't
find it.

This is what the error looks like:

Specify which file not found in error (#11868)
# Description
Currently, `ShellError::FileNotFound` shows the span where the error
occurred but doesn't say which file wasn't found. This PR makes it so
the help includes that (like the `DirectoryNotFound` error).

# User-Facing Changes
No breaking changes, it's just that when a file can't be found, the help
will say which file couldn't be found:

Name the Value conversion functions more clearly (#11851)
# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)

This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |

# User-Facing Changes

adjust some commansd input_output type (#11436)
# Description
1. Make table to be a subtype of `list<any>`, so some input_output_types
of filter commands are unnecessary
2. Change some commands which accept an input type, but generates
different output types. In this case, delete duplicate entry, and change
relative output type to `<any>`

Yeah it makes some commands more permissive, but I think it's better to
run into strange issue that why my script runs to failed during parse
time.

Fix incorrect handling of boolean flags for builtin commands (#11492)
# Description
Possible fix of #11456
This PR fixes a bug where builtin commands did not respect the logic of
dynamically passed boolean flags. The reason is
[has_flag](6f59abaf43/crates/nu-protocol/src/ast/call.rs (L204C5-L212C6))
method did not evaluate and take into consideration expression used with
flag.

To address this issue a solution is proposed:
1. `has_flag` method is moved to `CallExt` and new logic to evaluate
expression and check if it is a boolean value is added
2. `has_flag_const` method is added to `CallExt` which is a constant
version of `has_flag`
3. `has_named` method is added to `Call` which is basically the old
logic of `has_flag`
4. All usages of `has_flag` in code are updated, mostly to pass
`engine_state` and `stack` to new `has_flag`. In `run_const` commands it
is replaced with `has_flag_const`. And in a few select places: parser,
`to nuon` and `into string` old logic via `has_named` is used.

# User-Facing Changes
Explicit values of boolean flags are now respected in builtin commands.

This updates all the positional arguments (except with

letter and end with a period.

Part of #5066, specifically [this

Some arguments had example data removed from them because it also
appears in the examples.

There are other inconsistencies in positional arguments I noticed while
making the tests pass which I will bring up in #5066.

Use Vec for Closure captures (#10940)
# Description
Changes the `captures` field in `Closure` from a `HashMap` to a `Vec`
and makes `Stack::captures_to_stack` take an owned `Vec` instead of a
borrowed `HashMap`.

This eliminates the conversion to a `Vec` inside `captures_to_stack` and
makes it possible to avoid clones altogether when using an owned
`Closure` (which is the case for most commands). Additionally, using a
`Vec` reduces the size of `Value` by 8 bytes (down to 72).

# Description
This merges @horasal 's changes from #10246 and #10269

Closes #10205
Closes #8714

Fixes the bug that editor paths with spaces are unusable

Closes #10210 
Closes #10269


# User-Facing Changes
You can now either pass a string with the name of the executable or a
list with the executable and any flags to
`$env.config.buffer_editor`/`$env.EDITOR`/`$env.VISUAL`

Both the external buffer editor of reedline (by default bound to
`Ctrl-o`) and the commands `config nu` and `config env` will respect
those variables in the following order:
1. `$env.config.buffer_editor`
2. `$env.EDITOR`
3. `$env.VISUAL`

Example:
```
$env.EDITOR = "nvim"                      # The system-wide EDITOR is neovim
$env.config.buffer_editor = ["vim" "-p2"] # Force vim to open two tabs (not particularly useful)
$env.config.buffer_editor = null          # Unset `buffer_editor` -> Uses `$env.EDITOR` ergo nvim

Closes #5436

When I opened this issue more than a year ago, I mainly wanted the
following capacity: easily access the full env and have the hability to
update it when a new version of `nushell` comes out.

With this PR I can now do the following:

```nu
source-env ~/.config/nushell/defaults/env.nu
source     ~/.config/nushell/defaults/config.nu

# Update nushell default config & env file (run this after a version update)
def update-defaults [] {
    config env --default | save -f ~/.config/nushell/defaults/env.nu
    config nu  --default | save -f ~/.config/nushell/defaults/config.nu
}
```

Which is more than enough for me. Along with `nushell` respecting the
XDG spec on macOS (`dirs-next` should be banned for CLI tools on macOS),
this should be one of the last hurdle before fully switching for me!

# User-Facing Changes
