Bevy Merge Train for 2026-08-24 (Cart Edition)

merge-train.md

1. text input: Shift+Backspace is also backspace Definitely the desired behavior. One liner. Approved and merged.
2. gate Local use in bevy_pbr for wasm This is necessary, but inlining the import cuts down on hard-to-maintain conditionals so I pushed that and merged.
3. fix: disabled number input field isn't editable This works, but it should use a Without filter instead of a query + value check. Pushed that and merged.
4. Make Dlss implement Default for all feature types Easy uncontroversial win. Approved and merged.
5. Fix bevy not exporting bevy::extract Another quick win. Approved and merged.
6. Fix issues where load_untyped_async would not correctly propagate the "modifiers" This makes sense. Also includes a nice easy refactor that removes duplicate logic and applies it in places it was missing before. Approved and merged!
7. Make Tonemapping::None a passthrough and add Tonemapping::Linear This makes sense given the current behavior, but I think ultimately color grading and dither should not be tied together. Approved and merged
8. Extract the sprite material cache to a separate struct This is a good refactor. I removed the type alias, which is just unnecessary added API surface. I also changed the cache remove interface to not take an event. This isn't the proper level of abstraction / it should just accept an id. Approved and merged.
9. Fix window-picking entity This is good, but it shouldn't be doing a scan to find the pointer. We should rely on PointerMap.
10. Fix missing Ok() in template(|ctx|{}) docs Yup! Approved and merged
11. feathers_gallery crash fix I don't love that the boxing is necessary, but it makes sense. I've asked for some info on the running context. I'd like to think about the right general fix for this.
12. Count sorted camera indices per render target This creates strange behavior (accumulation / trails) when interleaving HDR on the same target. Making HDR a part of the sorted identity is what fixed this issue afaik. I put together a repro and blocked on a resolution.
13. text input: retry the font family resolve when the font asset lands I really don't like doing updates here whenever any font has changed. This is a dataflow problem that we should be able to solve the "right way". Blocking on that.
14. Stop rendering escaped ANSI sequences in wesl errors Wonderful! This was bothering me too. Approved and merged.
15. Simplified FeathersColorSlider using grid layout This is a better strategy. Removed an unrelated change / merged with main. Approved and merged.
16. flex-wrap layout for feathers_gallery I think this is actually a less "realistic" layout. We wouldn't be breaking the color pickers into columns like this generally in a app. It also makes the code less natural / hard to read, as it requires a bunch of hard-coded widths / min-widths, and it "flattens out" multiple scene lists in a way that is less natural "hierarchical nested scene widget trees". Requested changes.
17. Stable UiStack Stability here makes sense. The root sort is more expensive, but ideally we don't have toooooo many roots. Approved and merged.
18. Migrate 3d_shapes to feathers I'm blocking (and other such efforts) this until we sort out the "feathers feature flag proliferation" problem. I don't want all of our examples to require specifying that flag to run. I also think we need to sort out some coding pattern things, as currently these ports are increasing code complexity each time we add them.
19. Bevy_reflect: Use into_remote to replace transmute in ReflectRemote impl Removing the transmute here is definitely the right move and the impl looks good. Approved and merged.
20. Prepare custom post processing bind groups ahead of time Straightforward refactoring. No major behavior changes here. Approved and merged.
21. Entity grouping code for entity inspector Generally on board for this strategy. Did a review / left some comments.
