add metadata access command (#13785)
# Description
Add `metadata access`, which allows accessing/inspecting the metadata of
a stream in a closure.
```nu
ls | metadata access {|meta|
...
}
```
- The metadata is provided as an argument to the closure, identical to
the record obtained with `metadata` command.
- `metadata access` passes its input stream into the closure as it is.
- Within the closure, both the metadata and the stream are available.
The closure may modify, collect or pass the stream as it is.
# Motivation
- Without this command, nu code can't act on metadata without losing the
stream, use cases requiring both the stream and metadata must be
implemented either as a built-in or a plugin.
- This command allows users to enhance presentation of data, similar to
`table` coloring the output of `ls`.

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 } } ``` IR disabled: ``` ╭───────┬─────────────────╮ │ mean │ 1ms 924µs 665ns │ │ min │ 1ms 700µs 83ns │ │ max │ 3ms 450µs 125ns │ │ std │ 395µs 759ns │ │ times │ [list 50 items] │ ╰───────┴─────────────────╯ ``` IR enabled: ``` ╭───────┬─────────────────╮ │ mean │ 452µs 820ns │ │ min │ 427µs 417ns │ │ max │ 540µs 167ns │ │ std │ 17µs 158ns │ │ times │ [list 50 items] │ ╰───────┴─────────────────╯ ```  ## [gradient_benchmark_no_check.nu](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/benchmarks/gradient_benchmark_no_check.nu) IR disabled: ``` ╭───┬──────────────────╮ │ 0 │ 27ms 929µs 958ns │ │ 1 │ 21ms 153µs 459ns │ │ 2 │ 18ms 639µs 666ns │ │ 3 │ 19ms 554µs 583ns │ │ 4 │ 13ms 383µs 375ns │ │ 5 │ 11ms 328µs 208ns │ │ 6 │ 5ms 659µs 542ns │ ╰───┴──────────────────╯ ``` IR enabled: ``` ╭───┬──────────────────╮ │ 0 │ 22ms 662µs │ │ 1 │ 17ms 221µs 792ns │ │ 2 │ 14ms 786µs 708ns │ │ 3 │ 13ms 876µs 834ns │ │ 4 │ 13ms 52µs 875ns │ │ 5 │ 11ms 269µs 666ns │ │ 6 │ 6ms 942µs 500ns │ ╰───┴──────────────────╯ ``` ## [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 - [ ] release notes - [ ] further documentation of instructions? - [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir` |

add ability to set metadata (#12564)
# Description This PR adds the ability to set metadata. This is especially useful for activating LS_COLORS when using table literals.  You can also set the filepath metadata, although I'm not really user how useful this is. We may end up removing this option entirely. ```nushell ❯ "crates" | metadata set --datasource-filepath $'(pwd)/crates' | metadata ╭────────┬───────────────────────────────────╮ │ source │ /Users/fdncred/src/nushell/crates │ ╰────────┴───────────────────────────────────╯ ``` No file paths are checked. You could also do this. ```nushell ❯ "crates" | metadata set --datasource-filepath $'a/b/c/d/crates' | metadata ╭────────┬────────────────╮ │ source │ a/b/c/d/crates │ ╰────────┴────────────────╯ ``` The command name and parameter names are still WIP. We could change them. There are currently 3 kinds of metadata in nushell. ```rust pub enum DataSource { Ls, HtmlThemes, FilePath(PathBuf), } ``` I've skipped adding `HtmlThemes` because it seems to be specific to our `to html` command only. |

Please, check our [contributing guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major changes. Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience. --> 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:  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):  ## 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 # User-Facing Changes <!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here.

add a debug info command to show memory info (#10711)
# Description
This PR adds a new command called `debug info`. I'm not sure if the name
is right but we can rename it if needed. The purpose of this command is
to show a user how much memory nushell is using. This is what the output
looks like.
I feel like the further we go with nushell, the more we'll need to
easily monitor the memory usage. With this command, we should easily be
able to do that with scripts or just running the command.
```nushell
❯ debug info | table -e

move ast command to the debug group (#8077)
# Description This PR tweaks how `ast` works a tiny bit by outputting values in stead of eprintln!'s. It also moves the `ast` command into the folder with the rest of the debug commands and changes the category to debug.

relocate debug commands (#8071)
# Description Now that we've landed the debug commands we were working on, let's relocate them to an easier place to find all of them. That's what this PR does.
