console.log() is implemented with structured logging, and as we
set an appropriate log domain, it's identical to the custom function
bar the custom fields with extension data.
Few people know about those custom fields, and adding them comes
at a cost, as we end up producing and parsing a stacktrace on
every log() call.
It therefore seems appropriate to drop the custom function, and
turn the global log() symbol into a simple convenience alias for
console.log().
If it turns out that people do miss the custom fields, we can add
an alternative to ExtensionUtils.

`toLocaleFormat` is now `formatDateWithCFormatString` and formatTime and
formatTimeSpan are moved into dateUtils.
Instead of overriding system.clearDateCaches, add a helper in dateUtils.

Environment variables aren't the best option to pass parameters
to a process (wouldn't it be "fun" if SHELL_PERF_MODULE appeared
in a regular user session?).
Instead, use a (hidden) --automation-script command line flag to
specify a script file that should be used to drive an automated
session.
As a side effect, the script no longer has to be relative to the
main module itself, so it will be possible to run scripts that
aren't bundled with the shell sources.
Part-of: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2812>
The perf scripts that can be used to script the gnome-shell UI
for testing are sufficiently separate from the rest of the code
base to allow porting them to ESM modules before the rest of
the code base.

The file indicates to the systemd shutdown scripts that extensions
should be disabled, so that extensions that crash the shell on
startup cannot lock out the user indefinitely.
For that purpose, we create the file before initializing extensions,
and remove it after 60 seconds. That generally works, because it's
highly unlikely that a session genuinely ends within the first minute.
It's possible though (for example during developments or when running
tests), so also remove the file when shutting down cleanly before
the timeout.

Continue the move to ESM by loading modules dynamically with
the standard import() expression, rather than by installing a
custom (legacy) importer.
This is a breaking change that affects all extensions, as they
now need to explicitly export the expected symbols.
As we are already breaking all extensions, take that opportunity
and remove support for the individual entry points: Using a
class with enable()/disable() methods has been the recommended
pattern for a long time, it is now the only entry point.
Instead of instantiating the class from an `init()` function,
the class must now be exported as default to be recognized.
Additionally, we no longer install an importer on the extension
object, so extensions that consist of more than one file MUST
import those files as modules now.
There will be a second breaking change for extensions when
gnome-shell's own code is ported to ESM, so most extension
developers will likely want to wait until the port is complete
before starting to port their extensions.
Based on a commit from Evan Welsh.

Commit c449058d44 changed the pointer clone to use a single
actor. However that broke applying the hotspot translation to the
position, so the magnified cursor is now displayed with a shift.
Undo the change to restore the old behavior.
This reverts commit c449058d44.

gjs now has an internal mainloop that it can spin to resolve
module imports. That loop uses the thread default context,
so its possible that other sources, namely from mutter, get
dispatched when iterating the context. If that happens before
mutter is properly initialized, this will lead to a crash.
GjsContext needs to iterate its internal mainloop when initializing
to resolve internal modules, to avoid iterating Meta's mainloop and
triggering events before Meta is ready we will initialize the Shell
global and thus the GjsContext (js_context) before Meta.
Once GjsContext is initialized, we can call meta_context_setup().
Once Meta is setup and started, we'll run init.js which uses GJS'
internal promises API to set a "mainloop hook". The mainloop hook
is run immediately after the module returns so GJS will not attempt
to iterate the main loop again before exiting.
Also adjust the 'headlessStart' test to not wait for the
MetaContext::started signal, as that signal has now already
been emitted when the code is executed.

get_size() in _syncAnimationSize() can't be called until the actor
has a parent, otherwise we'll get an error for calling
st_get_theme_node() prior to the actor being on a stage.
_syncAnimationSize() is called asynchronously via
textureCache.load_sliced_image() and there is currently no guarantee
the actor will actually be "loaded" prior to calling it.
This becomes a more obvious error/issue when refactoring parts of the
Shell loading to also be asynchronous.

We are about to port the helper proxy to GApplication, which means
that it will establish a display connection before exporting its
D-Bus name. That means that the compositor must be able to respond
to a roundtrip request to avoid locking, so don't block on the proxy
becoming available.

Now that we track apps instead of instances, we can make the menu
items activatable, because the corresponding action is no longer
app specific (like activating a particular tab): We can simply
activate the app, which hopefully will bring it to the foreground
again.

The background apps menu currently tracks instances rather than
apps. That matches the behavior of `flatpak ps` and can be useful,
for example when one particular instance runs out of control.
But as we don't include any information that allows to actually
distinguish between instances, multiple instances appear simply
as duplicated app entries.
Given that a menu is too limited for detailed information, stop
representing individual instances, and track apps instead.

Provide a reasonably public way to register and unregister search
providers, without adding too much API.
`Main.overview.searchController` provides access that may be generally
useful, while `SearchController.addProvider()` and
`SearchController.removeProvider()` provide a simple interface for
extensions.

We started to support Soup3 in GNOME 41, and used it by default
since GNOME 43. This should be enough time for distros to adapt,
so GNOME 45 looks like a good moment to drop the old Soup2 support.

Since we started to support the color-scheme preference, extensions
should be able to provide appropriate variants (if they deal with
colors).
So look for a variant with -dark/-light suffix before using the
plain stylesheet.css, and reload extension stylesheets on
color scheme changes.

When the screencast dbus service crashes due to gstreamer, we should also

The events that the draggable uses to initiate a drag operation
are the same as the ones a click action consumes for clicks.
It is still possible to combine the two, but it's finicky and far
from being straight-forward. To make this easier, add a dedicated
addClickAction() method to draggables that takes care of the
setup before adding the action to the draggable actor.
In the longer term, we'll want to turn DND into an action, and
have something like GTK's gesture group to allow combining actions
that would otherwise step on each other's toes.

Actions provide a higher-level API than event handlers, not unlike
GTK's event controllers (albeit less complete). Allowing them to
take care of the low-level bits where possible is generally a good
idea.
Menu items are a very straight-forward case, with a good amount
of code saving, so port them over.

The handler dates back to commit 50f248ec5b in 2011, and is
part of the original hack of making the activities button a
PanelMenu.Button while suppressing its menu.
By now, panel buttons without a menu have been properly supported
for years, but somehow that bit of the hack stuck around, even though
it is no longer actually needed (probably since the introduction of
DummyMenu.

When we can't detect a headphone by form factor, we do a string

to be valid than a match on 'headphone', so make sure we ignore
capitalization.
