# Description
This decouples the serialized representation of `Record` from its
internal implementation. It now gets treated as a map type in `serde`.
This has several benefits:
- more efficient representation (not showing inner fields)
- human readable e.g. as a JSON record
- no breaking changes when refactoring the `Record` internals in the
future (see #12326, or potential introduction of `indexmap::IndexMap`
for large N)
- we now deny the creation of invalid records a non-cooperating plugin
could produce
- guaranteed key-value correspondence
- checking for unique keys
# Breaking change to the plugin protocol:
Now expects a record/map directly as the `Record.val` field instead of a
serialization of it.

Fixes a problem introduced in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/12420 where one of the config
path tests (`test_xdg_config_symlink`) fails if, on MacOS, a developer
already has config files in the default location for that platform.
This happened because the test is making sure the
`xdg_config_home_invalid` error isn't reported, but to do that, it
asserts that stderr is empty, which it is not if in the case mentioned
above, because Nushell warns that the default location
(`~/.config`/`~/Library/Application Support`) is not empty but
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is empty.
If someone with a Mac could test this, that'd be great.

Fixes#12416. Turns out that in src/main.rs, `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` wasn't
being canonicalized before being compared to `nu_path::config_dir()` to
check if `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` was set to an invalid value. This has been
rectified now.

I manually tested it and the error has disappeared:
New behavior (this branch):
Old behavior (main):
Thanks to a pointer from Devyn, I've now added tests to make sure the
`xdg_config_home_invalid` error doesn't pop up when `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is
a symlink (and does when it's actually invalid).
Turns out two of the tests in `test_config_path` tried modifying
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` using `playground.with_env` but used `nu!`, so the
subprocess didn't actually use the modified value of `XDG_CONFIG_HOME`.
When I added them, I was unaware that the `.with_env` didn't actually
modify the environment. This has now been rectified.

# Description
Some of the tests in `tests::shell` were using `sh` unnecessarily, and
had `#[cfg(not(windows))]` when they should be testable on Windows if
`sh` is not used.
I also found that they were using `.expect()` incorrectly, under the
assumption that that would check their output, when really an
`assert_eq!` on the output is needed to do that. So these tests weren't
even really working properly before.

# Description
This speeds up writing messages to the plugin, because otherwise every
individual piece of the messages (not even the entire message) is
written with one syscall, leading to a lot of back and forth with the
kernel.
I learned this by running `strace` to debug something and saw a ton of
`write()` calls.

# Description
Requested by @ayax79. This makes the custom value behavior more correct,
by calling the methods on the plugin to handle the custom values in
examples rather than the methods on the custom values themselves. This
helps for handle-type custom values (like what he's doing with
dataframes).
- Equality checking in `PluginTest::test_examples()` changed to use
`PluginInterface::custom_value_partial_cmp()`
- Base value rendering for `PluginSignature` changed to use
`Plugin::custom_value_to_base_value()`
- Had to be moved closer to `serve_plugin` for this reason, so the test
for writing signatures containing custom values was removed
- That behavior should still be tested to some degree, since if custom
values are not handled, signatures will fail to parse, so all of the
other tests won't work.
# User-Facing Changes
- `Record::sort_cols()` method added to share functionality required by
`PartialCmp`, and it might also be slightly faster
- Otherwise, everything should mostly be the same but better. Plugins
that don't implement special handling for custom values will still work
the same way, because the default implementation is just a pass-through
to the `CustomValue` methods.

# Description
Because the plugin interface reader thread can be responsible for
sending a drop notification, it's possible for it to end up in a
deadlock where it's waiting for the response to the drop notification
call.
I decided that the best way to address this is to just discard the
response and not wait for it. It's not really important to synchronize
with the response to `Dropped`, so this is probably faster anyway.
cc @ayax79, this is your issue where polars is getting stuck
# User-Facing Changes

Encountered repeated build failure that vanished after clearing the
existing build caches.
- Don't `fail-fast` (this is highly annoying, if a severe problem is
detected, there is still the possibility to intervene manually)
- Don't cache the build process, we do it rarely so any potential
speed-up is offset by the uncertainty if this affects the artefact
fixes#12361
Looking at the condition, `TRASH_SUPPORTED && (trash || (rm_always_trash
&& !permanent))`, this code path seems only to run when `--trash` is
enabled and `--permanent` is disabled.
This suggests that the `--trash` suggestion is a mistake and should have
suggested `--permanent`.

# Description
This fixes#12391.
nushell/nushell@87c5f6e455 accidentally introduced a bug where the path
was not being properly
expanded according to the cwd. This makes both 'touch' and 'mkdir' use
globs just like the rest of
the commands to preserve tilde behavior while still expanding the paths
properly.
This doesn't actually expand the globs. Should it?
# User-Facing Changes
- Restore behavior of `mkdir`, `touch`
- Help text now says they can take globs, but they won't actually expand
them, maybe this should be changed
# Tests + Formatting
Regression tests added.
# After Submitting
This is severe enough and should be included in the point release.
# Description
Fixes#12382, where overlay changes from hooks were not preserved into
the global state. This was due to creating child stacks for hooks, when
the global stack should have been used instead.
# Description
This keeps plugin custom values that have requested drop notification
around during the lifetime of a plugin call / stream by sending them to
a channel that gets persisted during the lifetime of the call.
Before this change, it was very likely that the drop notification would
be sent before the plugin ever had a chance to handle the value it
received.
Tests have been added to make sure this works - see the `custom_values`
plugin.
cc @ayax79
# User-Facing Changes
This is basically just a bugfix, just a slightly big one.
However, I did add an `as_mut_any()` function for custom values, to
avoid having to clone them. This is a breaking change.
Some platforms don't support the `system-clipboard` feature, notably
termux on android.
The default config currently contained references to `reedline` events
that are only available with the feature enabled (#12179). This thus
broke the out of the box config for those users.
For now be more defensive about this and only enable default events. Add
the alternative as commented out code you can quickly enable.
## Tested with:
```
cargo run --no-default-features --features default-no-clipboard -- --config crates/nu-utils/src/sample_config/default_config.nu
```
- [x] `cargo hack` feature flag compatibility run
- [x] reedline released and pinned
- [x] `nu-plugin-test-support` added to release script
- [x] dependency tree checked
- [x] release notes
# Description
Fixes how the directory permissions are calculated in `mkdir`. Instead
of subtraction, the umask is actually used as a mask via negation
followed by bitwise and with the default mode. This matches how [uucore
calculates](cac7155fba/src/uu/mkdir/src/mkdir.rs (L61))
the mode.
# Description
This shrinks `Record`'s size in half and and allows you to include it in
`Value` without growing the size.
Changing the `Record` internals may have slightly different performance
characteristics as the cache locality changes on lookups (if you
directly need the value, it should be closer, but in other cases may
blow up the cache line budget)
Also different perf characteristics on creation expected.
`Record::from_raw_cols_vals` now probably worse.
## Benchmarking
Comparison with the main branch (boxed Record) revealed no significant
change to the creation but an improvement when accessing larger N.
The fact that this was more pronounced for nested access (still cloning
before nushell/nushell#12325) leads to the conclusion that this may
still be dominated by the smaller clone necessary for a 24-byte `Record`
over the previous 48 bytes.
# User-Facing Changes
Reduced memory usage
# Description
Currently `into bits` will try to coerce a `date`/`Value::Date` into a
string with a locale/timezone specific behavior (See #12268).
To resolve the ambiguity, remove the support for `date` entirely.
# User-Facing Changes
`date now | into bits` will now fail.
Instead you can use `... | format date '%c' | into bits` or any more
specific explicit choices to achieve the same behavior.
As `into bits` has minimal uses (and only pulled out of `extra` with
#12140), this doesn't warrant a deprecation.
# Description
Where possible, this PR replaces usages of raw `libc` bindings to
instead use safe interfaces from the `nix` crate. Where not possible,
the `libc` version reexported through `nix` was used instead of having a
separate `libc` dependency.
# Description
This changes the interface for plugins to always represent errors as
`LabeledError`s. This is good for altlang plugins, as it would suck for
them to have to implement and track `ShellError`. We save a lot of
generated code from the `ShellError` serde impl too, so `nu` and plugins
get to have a smaller binary size.
Reduces the release binary size by 1.2 MiB on my build configuration.
# User-Facing Changes
- Changes plugin protocol. `ShellError` no longer serialized.
- `ShellError` serialize output is different
- `ShellError` no longer deserializes to exactly the same value as
serialized

Those allocations are all small and insignificant in the grand scheme of

- **Fix `clippy::assigning_clones` in `nu-cli`**
- **Reuse allocations in `nu-explore` if possible**
# Description
This clone is not necessary and tanks the performance of deep nested
access.
As soon as we found the value, we know we discard the old value, so can
`std::mem::take` the inner (`impl Default for Value` to the rescue)
We may be able to further optimize this but not having to clone the
value is vital.

makes inserting rows with null values impossible.
This change fixes that by accepting null values as input.
One caveat of this is that when the command is creating a new table, it
uses the first row to infer an appropriate sqlite schema. If the first
row contains a null value, then it is impossible to tell which type this
column is supposed to have.
Throwing a hard error seems undesirable from a UX perspective, but
guessing can lead to a potentially useless database if we guess wrong.
So as a compromise, for null columns, we will assume the sqlite type is
TEXT and print a warning so the user knows. For the time being, if users
can't avoid a first row with null values, but also wants the right
schema, they are advised to create their table before running `into
sqlite`.
A future PR can add the ability to explicitly specify a schema.

# Tests + Formatting
* Tests added to cover expected behavior around insertion of null values
