# Description
Support pattern matching against the `null` literal. Fixes#10799
### Before
```nushell
> match null { null => "success", _ => "failure" }
failure
```
### After
```nushell
> match null { null => "success", _ => "failure" }
success
```
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
Users can pattern match against a `null` literal.
# Description
`from tsv` and `from csv` both support a `--flexible` flag. This flag
can be used to "allow the number of fields in records to be variable".
Previously, a record's invariant that `rec.cols.len() == rec.vals.len()`
could be broken during parsing. This can cause runtime errors as in
#10693. Other commands, like `select` were also affected.
The inconsistencies are somewhat hard to see, as most nushell code
assumes an equal number of columns and values.
# Before
### Fewer values than columns
```nushell
> let record = (echo "one,two\n1" | from csv --flexible | first)
# There are two columns
> $record | columns | to nuon
[one, two]
# But only one value
> $record | values | to nuon
[1]
# And printing the record doesn't show the second column!
> $record | to nuon
{one: 1}
```
### More values than columns
```nushell
> let record = (echo "one,two\n1,2,3" | from csv --flexible | first)
# There are two columns
> $record | columns | to nuon
[one, two]
# But three values
> $record | values | to nuon
[1, 2, 3]
# And printing the record doesn't show the third value!
> $record | to nuon
{one: 1, two: 2}
```
# After
### Fewer values than columns
```nushell
> let record = (echo "one,two\n1" | from csv --flexible | first)
# There are two columns
> $record | columns | to nuon
[one, two]
# And a matching number of values
> $record | values | to nuon
[1, null]
# And printing the record works as expected
> $record | to nuon
{one: 1, two: null}
```
### More values than columns
```nushell
> let record = (echo "one,two\n1,2,3" | from csv --flexible | first)
# There are two columns
> $record | columns | to nuon
[one, two]
# And a matching number of values
> $record | values | to nuon
[1, 2]
# And printing the record works as expected
> $record | to nuon
{one: 1, two: 2}
```
# User-Facing Changes
Using the `--flexible` flag with `from csv` and `from tsv` will not
result in corrupted record state.

- Add `detailed` flag for `describe`
- Improve detailed describe and better format when running examples.
# Rationale
For now, neither `describe` nor any of the `debug` commands provide an
easy and structured way of inspecting the data's type and more. This
flag provides a structured way of getting such information. Allows also
to avoid the rather hacky solution
```nu
$in | describe | str replace --regex '<.*' ''
```
# User-facing changes
Adds a new flag to ``describe`.
Reverts nushell/nushell#10812
This goes back to a version of `regex` and its dependencies that is
shared with a lot of our other dependencies. Before this we did not
duplicate big dependencies of `regex` that affect binary size and
compile time.
As there is no known bug or security problem we suffer from, we can wait
on receiving the performance improvements to `regex` with the rest of
our `regex` dependents.
r? @fdncred
Last one, I hope. At least short of completely redesigning `registry
query`'s interface. (Which I wouldn't implement without asking around
first.)
# Description
User-Facing Changes has the general overview. Inline comments provide a
lot of justification on specific choices. Most of the type conversions
should be reasonably noncontroversial, but expanding `REG_EXPAND_SZ`
needs some justification. First, an example of the behavior there:
```shell
> # release nushell:
> version | select version commit_hash | to md --pretty
| version | commit_hash |
| ------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| 0.85.0 | a6f62e05ae |
> registry query --hkcu Environment TEMP | get value
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
> # with this patch:
> version | select version commit_hash | to md --pretty
| version | commit_hash |
| ------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| 0.86.1 | 0c5a4c991f |
> registry query --hkcu Environment TEMP | get value
C:\Users\CAD\AppData\Local\Temp
> # Microsoft CLI tooling behavior:
> ^pwsh -c `(Get-ItemProperty HKCU:\Environment).TEMP`
C:\Users\CAD\AppData\Local\Temp
> ^reg query HKCU\Environment /v TEMP
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment
TEMP REG_EXPAND_SZ %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp
```
As noted in the inline comments, I'm arguing that it makes more sense to
eagerly expand the %EnvironmentString% placeholders, as none of
Nushell's path functionality will interpret these placeholders. This
makes the behavior of `registry query` match the behavior of pwsh's
`Get-ItemProperty` registry access, and means that paths (the most
common use of `REG_EXPAND_SZ`) are actually usable.
This does *not* break nu_script's
[`update-path`](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/sourced/update-path.nu);
it will just be slightly inefficient as it will not find any
`%Placeholder%`s to manually expand anymore. But also, note that
`update-path` is currently *wrong*, as a path including
`%LocalAppData%Low` is perfectly valid and sometimes used (to go to
`Appdata\LocalLow`); expansion isn't done solely on a path segment
basis, as is implemented by `update-path`.
I believe that the type conversions implemented by this patch are
essentially always desired. But if we want to keep `registry query`
"pure", we could easily introduce a `registry get`[^get] which does the
more complete interpretation of registry types, and leave `registry
query` alone as doing the bare minimum. Or we could teach `path expand`
to do `ExpandEnvironmentStringsW`. But REG_EXPAND_SZ being the odd one
out of not getting its registry type semantics decoded by `registry
query` seems wrong.
[^get]: This is the potential redesign I alluded to at the top. One
potential change could be to make `registry get Environment` produce
`record<Path: string, TEMP: string, TMP: string>` instead of `registry
query`'s `table<name: string, value: string, type: string>`, the idea
being to make it feel as native as possible. We could even translate
between Nu's cell-path and registry paths -- cell paths with spaces do
actually work, if a bit awkwardly -- or even introduce lazy records so
the registry can be traversed with normal data manipulation ... but that
all seems a bit much.
# User-Facing Changes
- `registry query`'s produced `value` has changed. Specifically:
- ❗ Rows `where type == REG_EXPAND_SZ` now expand `%EnvironmentVarable%`
placeholders for you. For example, `registry query --hkcu Environment
TEMP | get value` returns `C:\Users\CAD\AppData\Local\Temp` instead of
`%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp`.
- You can restore the old behavior and preserve the placeholders by
passing a new `--no-expand` switch.
- Rows `where type == REG_MULTI_SZ` now provide a `list<string>` value.
They previously had that same list, but `| str join "\n"`.
- Rows `where type == REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN` now provide the correct
numeric value instead of a byte-swapped value.
- Rows `where type == REG_QWORD` now provide the correct numeric
value[^sign] instead of the value modulo 2<sup>32</sup>.
- Rows `where type == REG_LINK` now provide a string value of the link
target registry path instead of an internal debug string representation.
(This should never be visible, as links should be transparently
followed.)
- Rows `where type =~ RESOURCE` now provide a binary value instead of an
internal debug string representation.
[^sign]: Nu's `int` is a signed 64-bit integer. As such, values >=
2<sup>63</sup> will be reported as their negative two's compliment
value. This might sometimes be the correct interpretation -- the
registry does not distinguish between signed and unsigned integer values
-- but regedit and pwsh display all values as unsigned.
# Description
Remove the `clean_string` hack used in `registry query`.
This was a workaround for a [bug][gentoo90/winreg-rs#52] in winreg which
has since [been fixed][edf9eef] and released in [winreg v0.12.0].
winreg now properly displays strings in RegKey's Display impl instead of
outputting their debug representation. We remove our `clean_string` such
that registry entries which happen to start/end with `"` or contain `\\`
won't get mangled. This is very important for entries in UNC path format
as those begin with a double backslash.

# Description
when i try out a PR, i always end up running `cargo run` but then i
never know if i'm inside my install of Nushell or a PR 👀
in this PR i propose to add a `run` command to the `toolkit.nu` which
- runs the current revision inside `cargo run`
- adds a clear right prompt to make sure one knows they are in `cargo
run`

This reflects how we currently distributed our efforts to supporting the
different platforms and clarifies which things get run by the Nushell

contributors.
Feel free to propose improvements, as long as they can be backed up by
implemented practice as a result.

Add `--ignore-errors` flag to reject.
This is a PR in reference to #10215 as select has the flag, but reject
hasn't
user can now add `-i` or `--ignore-errors` flag to turn every cell path
into option.
```nushell
> let arg = [0 5 a c]
> [[a b];[1 2] [3 4] [5 6]] | reject $a | to nuon
error index to large
# ----
> let arg = [0 5 a c]

[[a, b]; [1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
```
When looking into `lite_parse` function, I found that it contains some
duplicate code, and they can be expressed as an action called
`push_command_to(pipeline)`.
And I believe it will make our life easier to support something like
`o>> a.txt`, `e>> a.txt`.
In the final match of `lex_item`, we'll return `Err(ParseError)` in rare
case, normally we'll return None.
So I think making error part mutable can reduce some code, and it's
better if we want to add more lex items.

# Description
Changes processing of arguments to filesystem commands that are source
paths or globs.
Applies to `cp, cp-old, mv, rm, du` but not `ls` (because it uses a
different globbing interface) or `glob` (because it uses a different
globbing library).
The core of the change is to lookup the argument first as a file and
only glob if it is not. That way,
a path containing glob metacharacters can be referenced without glob
quoting, though it will have to be single quoted to avoid nushell
parsing.
Before: A file path that looks like a glob is not matched by the glob
specified as a (source) argument and takes some thinking about to
access. You might say the glob pattern shadows a file with the same
spelling.

Before_2: if file has glob metachars but isn't a valid pattern, user
gets a confusing error:
```
> touch 'a[b'
> cp 'a[b' dest
Error: × Pattern syntax error near position 30: invalid range pattern
╭─[entry #13:1:1]
1 │ cp 'a[b' dest
· ──┬──
· ╰── invalid pattern
╰────
```
After: Args to cp, mv, etc. are tried first as literal files, and only
as globs if not found to be files.
```
> cp --verbose 'a[bc]d' dest
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/a[bc]d to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/a[bc]d
> cp --verbose '[a][bc]d' dest
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/abd to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/abd
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/acd to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/acd
```
After_2: file with glob metachars but invalid pattern just works.
(though Windows does not allow file name to contain `*`.).
```
> cp --verbose 'a[b' dest
copied /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/a[b to /home/bobhy/src/rust/work/r4/dest/a[b
```
So, with this fix, a file shadows a glob pattern with the same spelling.
If you have such a file and really want to use the glob pattern, you
will have to glob quote some of the characters in the pattern. I think
that's less confusing to the user: if ls shows a file with a weird name,
s/he'll still be able to copy, rename or delete it.
# User-Facing Changes
Could break some existing scripts. If user happened to have a file with
a globbish name but was using a glob pattern with the same spelling, the
new version will process the file and not expand the glob.
