# Description
The `PluginSignature` type supports extra usage but this was not
available in `plugin_name --help`. It also supports search terms but
these did not appear in `help commands`
New behavior show below is the "Extra usage for nu-example-1" line and
the "Search terms:" line
```
❯ nu-example-1 --help
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing
Extra usage for nu-example-1
Search terms: example
Usage:
> nu-example-1 {flags} <a> <b> (opt) ...(rest)
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-f, --flag - a flag for the signature
-n, --named <String> - named string
Parameters:
a <int>: required integer value
b <string>: required string value
opt <int>: Optional number (optional)
...rest <string>: rest value string
Examples:
running example with an int value and string value
> nu-example-1 3 bb
```
Search terms are also available in `help commands`:
```
❯ help commands | where name == "nu-example-1" | select name search_terms
╭──────────────┬──────────────╮
│ name │ search_terms │
├──────────────┼──────────────┤
│ nu-example-1 │ example │
╰──────────────┴──────────────╯
```

# Description
Changes `FromValue` to take owned `Value`s instead of borrowed `Value`s.
This eliminates some unnecessary clones (e.g., in `call_ext.rs`).
# User-Facing Changes
Breaking API change for `nu_protocol`.
# Description
The issue #10318 is resolved by introducing helper methods within the
existing `get_documentation` function in the nu-engine crate. Initially,
I considered using nu-color-config crate to convert HEX config color to
ANSI color and employing the following method
[https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2).
However, this approach was deemed impractical due to circular
dependencies. Consequently, in a manner akin to how we invoke the
`table` command from the nu-command crate in `get_documentation`
function to create a themed-colored table, we invoke the `ansi` command
from nu-command to obtain the ANSI theme color code.
# User-Facing Changes
Visual Changes Only: the help command now uses configured theme, else it
falls back on default hard coded values.

Elide the reference for `Copy` type (`usize`)
Use the canonical deref where possible.
* `&Box` -> `&`

* `&PathBuf` -> `&Path`
Skips the ctrl-C handler for now.
# Description
As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.
Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a
lot of commands to update :)

# Description
This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:
* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type
I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.
# User-Facing Changes
Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

This PR reverts https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/9391
We try not to revert PRs like this, though after discussion with the
Nushell team, we decided to revert this one.
The main reason is that Nushell, as a codebase, isn't ready for these
kinds of optimisations. It's in the part of the development cycle where
our main focus should be on improving the algorithms inside of Nushell
itself. Once we have matured our algorithms, then we can look for
opportunities to switch out technologies we're using for alternate
forms.
Much of Nushell still has lots of opportunities for tuning the codebase,
paying down technical debt, and making the codebase generally cleaner
and more robust. This should be the focus. Performance improvements
should flow out of that work.
Said another, optimisation that isn't part of tuning the codebase is
premature at this stage. We need to focus on doing the hard work of
making the engine, parser, etc better.

Show parameter defaults in scope command signature, where they're
available for display by help.
per https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8928.
I found unexpected ramifications in one completer (NuHelpCompleter) and
plugins, which both use the flag-formatting routine from builtin help.
For the moment I made the minimum necessary changes to get the mainline
scenario to pass tests and run. But we should circle back on what to do
with plugins and help completer..
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This

1. New `parameter_default` column to `signatures` table in
`$nu.scope.commands`
It is populated with whatever parameters can be defaulted: currently
positional args and named flags.
2. Built in help (both `help <command>` and `<command> --help` will
display the defaults
3. Help completer will display defaults for flags, but not for
positionals.
Example:
A custom command with some default parameters:
```
〉cat ~/work/dflts.nu
# sample function to show defaults in help
export def main [
arg1: string # mandatory positional
arg2:string=abc # optional positional
--switch # no default here
--named:int # named flag, no default
--other:string=def # flag
--hard:record<foo:int bar:string, bas:bool> # default can be compound type
= {foo:22, bar:"other worlds", bas:false}
] { {arg1: $arg1,
arg2: $arg2,
switch: $switch,
named: $named,
other: $other,
hard: $hard, }
}
〉use ~/work/dflts.nu
〉$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'dflts' | get signatures.0.any | reject short_flag description custom_completion

〉help dflts
sample function to show defaults in help
Usage:
> dflts {flags} <arg1> (arg2)
Flags:
--switch - switch -- no default here
--named <Int> - named flag, typed, but no default
--other <String> - flag with default (default: 'def')
--hard <Record([("foo", Int), ("bar", String), ("bas", Boolean)])> - default can be compound type (default: {foo: 22, bar: 'other worlds', bas: false})
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
Parameters:
arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
arg2 <string>: optional positional (optional, default: 'abc')
```
Compared to (relevant bits of) help output previously:
```
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-, --switch - no default here
-, --named <int> - named flag, no default
-, --other <string> - flag
-, --hard <record<foo: int, bar: string, bas: bool>> - default can be compound type
Signatures:
<any> | dflts <string> <string> -> <any>
Parameters:
arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
(optional) arg2 <string>: optional positional

Continuation of #8229 and #8326
# Description
The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy.
Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.
So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.
# Call to action
**Everyone:** Feel free to add review comments if you spot inconsistent
use of `ShellError` variants.

# Description
As title, we can't provide examples for plugin commands, this pr would
make it possible
# User-Facing Changes
Take plugin `nu-example-1` as example:
```
❯ nu-example-1 -h
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing
Usage:
> nu-example-1 {flags} <a> <b> (opt) ...(rest)
Flags:
-h, --help - Display the help message for this command
-f, --flag - a flag for the signature
-n, --named <String> - named string
Parameters:
a <int>: required integer value
b <string>: required string value
(optional) opt <int>: Optional number
...rest <string>: rest value string
Examples:
running example with an int value and string value
> nu-example-1 3 bb
```
The examples session is newly added.
## Basic idea behind these changes
when nushell query plugin signatures, plugin just returns it's signature
without any examples, so nushell have no idea about the examples of
plugin commands.
To adding the feature, we just making plugin returns it's signature with
examples.
Before:
```
1. get signature
---------------->
Nushell ------------------ Plugin
<-----------------
2. returns Vec<Signature>
```
After:
```
1. get signature
---------------->
Nushell ------------------ Plugin
<-----------------
2. returns Vec<PluginSignature>
```
When writing plugin signature to $nu.plugin-path:
Serialize `<PluginSignature>` rather than `<Signature>`, which would
enable us to serialize examples to `$nu.plugin-path`
## Shortcoming
It's a breaking changes because `Plugin::signature` is changed, and it
requires plugin authors to change their code for new signatures.
Fortunally it should be easy to change, for rust based plugin, we just
need to make a global replace from word `Signature` to word
`PluginSignature` in their plugin project.
Our content of plugin-path is really large, if one plugin have many
examples, it'd results to larger body of $nu.plugin-path, which is not
really scale. A solution would be save register information in other
binary formats rather than `json`. But I think it'd be another story.
# Tests + Formatting
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass

~~I happened to be reviewing our uses of `thread::spawn()` and came to
the conclusion that we're spawning a thread unnecessarily for plugin
calls. We were basically doing this:~~
~~1. Spawn a background thread to send data to the plugin over stdin~~
~~2. Immediately do a blocking wait for the plugin's response~~
~~As far as I can tell, there's no point in spawning a thread for 1 (and
it may harm error handling) given that we're blocking right away for the
response.~~
**Update:** the logic is correct, as confirmed by @WindSoilder

I've added a comment explaining the thread usage.
