The option on NLA strips "Sync Length" (in the Action Clip dropdown of the N panel)
stops keys from being inserted if it is disabled.
This is due to the evaluation mode of the strip, which is set
to "Hold" internally but ONLY IF "Sync Length" is enabled.
Removing that condition allows to key in tweak mode regardless of that setting.
## History
This has been put in place by 89ee260ef2
Judging by the commit description, this was put in place to allow keyframing
in tweak mode. However, no explanation is given why this is only allowed
with "Sync Length" enabled. Potentially because there was no special
handling of tweak strips for keying evaluation, which has been put in
place later. (09709a7e64)

When a mesh is shared between multiple objects, sculpting with a brush
with the Curve stroke type doesnt update normal values for the affected
nodes when using PBVH drawing. This is because when reevaluating the
depsgraph for the objects, the shared PBVH is destroyed and the nodes
are recalculated, losing the existing node flag updates.
This only occurs for the Curve stroke type because all of its stroke
steps are performed within a single call to the overall operator when
the user presses enter, unlike other brush strokes which apply on each
mouse movement.
To fix this, we simply force update the normals before destroying the
PBVH at the end of the stroke step.

The issue here was that the left handle of the first point was calculated
incorrectly (set to the position of the point itself), which caused a

The openvdb API was used incorrectly before. I didn't notice that this is
a static function and requires the type to be passed in.
Note that this does not solve the cache invalidation issue yet. Instead
it handles the case more gracefully when the stored .vdb file changes
when Blender doesn't expect it to change.

It is possible that some edge collapsing of non-manifold mesh will
eventually result in extra wire edges, and loose vertices. This was
not properly handled in the boundary checks, assuming that all
modifications preserve mesh manifold.
This fix avoids the crash by adding nullptr check in the boundary
check.
While this is not fully ideal from the result perspective, it is
a safe change for 4.2. Ideally the wire edges and loose vertices
will be removed, but this is a bigger and more risky change. Also,
in Blender 4.0 it was possible to generate loose geometry in
dyntopo as well, so it just a general improvement to happen (and not
a regression).

For text objects, current code will use another font if you ask for
a character that is not found in the selected font. But what if the
selected font is invalid? This can happen with a saved Blend that uses
a non-packed font that is since deleted. Current behavior will show
nothing. This PR restores earlier behavior where we use the built-in
font in this case. This does not make any changes to error reporting.

Regression from fb8bf8b0c8: Now that the 'automatic override'
relationships between IDs are much more strict, re-creating
sub-hierarchies of overrides as part of the partial resync may not be
able to 'find' all previously used overrides anymore. An additional
remapping from linked (reference) data to existing, unchanged 'old'
overrides is needed.
In the report case, the root of the partial resync is the Curve obdata
itself, which will imply resync of its material. But the Armature object
used as dependency of the material (through the driver target) has
already been checked as not needing resync, so it is not included as
part of this partial resync sub-hierarchy anymore.
However, it means that the newly resync material override will have a
pointer to the linked armature object, which then needs to be remapped
to the matching existing (unchanged) override.
NOTE: this likely means that too many override IDs are still being
resynced currently. In the report-s case e.g., the Material ID likely
does not need to be resynced either.
- Do not translate a label containing the name of the active NLA
action.
- Translate default action name when created by inserting a keyframe.
- Translate "<NoAction>" and other default NLA strip names.
- Translate "<NoAction>" displayed in the UI when no action exists in
the NLA.
- Translate the temporary meta-strip created when moving an NLA strip
around. This uses DATA_() for consistency, even though it is not
really user data.

While these weren't exactly bugs, it seemed like an error when the
path name wasn't what users would expect. Relates to #123994.
The code which is responsible for applying data from coordinate grids to
displacement grids could be run as part of modifier evaluation, hence

This was the case when the slot index in the active object is greater
than the available slots of other selected objects.
Code was trying to avoid searching all materials by using
`BKE_object_material_get` to get an appropriate index (an addition to
D4441 added in 6b39dc7672). That function has the behavior of clamping
if a target index is greater than the available slots (for good
reasons), so we cant rely on the slot index being the same if
`BKE_object_material_get` finds a material. So in essence, this is not
what we want to use in this case.
Now use the much simpler `BKE_object_material_index_get` to get the
index [this might be less performant in certain scenarios, dont think
this is critical though and correctness should beat performance here]

It is possible that the file does not have Grease Pencil paint

The simple fix is to swap the order of acquiring the paint
pointer and the code which ensures that this paint exists.
Provide a convenient way to access a writable directory for extensions.
This will typically be accessed via:
bpy.utils.extension_path_user(__package__, create=True)
This API is provided as some extensions on extensions.blender.org
are writing into the extensions own directory which is error prone:
- The extensions own directory is removed when upgrading.
- Users may not have write access to the extensions directory,
especially with "System" repositories which may be on shared network
drives for example.
These directories are only removed when:
- Uninstalling the extension.
- Removing the repository and its files.
When removing a repository & files a valid module name was assumed.
While this should always be the case, add an additional check so in
the unlikely event of memory/file corruption (especially `..`)
recursively removing files outside the repository is never allowed.
In some cases, sculpt code currently creates undo steps that are stored
in `step_init` in the undo stack, but then skips actually pushing them.
That can happen when an operator is cancelled (like the transform
operator in #123172) or because pushes in "nested operator calls"
are currently explicitly disabled. That happens when calling the brush
operator from a script.
It turns out the undo code never freed the `step_init`, probably because
it assumed it would be pushed to be part of the stack afterwards.
Personally I'm not convinced that separating undo step creation into
two stages with `step_encode_init` and `step_encode` is a great design
or a necessary one, but I'm trying not to get into that deeper right now.

This is an alternative fix to #123524.
This is necessary, because `sculpt_update_object` is run after
the mesh is evaluated, but before the geometry depsgraph operation
is done. Only after this depsgraph node is done, `DEG_object_geometry_is_evaluated`
will return true.
This approach of `unchecked` methods has been preferred for now
over moving the call to `BKE_sculpt_update_object_after_eval`
to a separate depsgraph node or after depsgraph evaluation.
While the evaluated result is not well defined, we expect Blender to not crash
when there are dependency cycles.
The evaluation of one object often takes the evaluated geometry of another
object into account. This works fine if the other object is already fully
evaluated. However, if there is a dependency cycle, the other object may not be
evaluated already. Currently, we have no way to check for this and were mostly
just relying on luck that the other objects geometry is in some valid state
(even if it's not the fully evaluated geometry).
This patch adds the ability to explicitly check if an objects geometry is fully
evaluated already, so that it can be accessed by other objects. If there are not
dependency cycles, this should always be true. If not, it may be false
sometimes, and in this case the other objects geometry should be ignored. The
same also applies to the object transforms and the geometry of a collection.
For that, new functions are added in `DEG_depsgraph_query.hh`. Those should be
used whenever accessing another objects or collections object during depsgraph
evaluation. More similar functions may be added in the future.
```
bool DEG_object_geometry_is_evaluated(const Object &object);
bool DEG_object_transform_is_evaluated(const Object &object);
bool DEG_collection_geometry_is_evaluated(const Collection &collection);
```
To determine if the these components are fully evaluated, a reference to the
corresponding depsgraph is needed. A possible solution to that is to pass the
depsgraph through the call stack to these functions. While possible, there are a
couple of annoyances. For one, the parameter would need to be added in many new
places. I don't have an exact number, but it's like 50 or so. Another
complication is that under some circumstances, multiple depsgraphs may have to
be passed around, for example when evaluating node tools (also see
`GeoNodesOperatorDepsgraphs`).
To simplify the patch and other code in the future, a different route is taken
where the depsgraph pointer is added to `ID_Runtime`, making it readily
accessible similar to the `ID.orig_id`. The depsgraph pointer is set in the same
place where the `orig_id` is set.
As a nice side benefit, this also improves the situation in simple cases like
having two cubes with a boolean modifier and they union each other.

This fixes#121695. `float4x4` matrices are generally expected to be 16 byte aligned.
Currently, there is no mechanism (afaik) that allows allocating these overaligned types
when loading files from disk. This patch adds an array with alignment information for
each type in `SDNA`. Currently, the alignment is just `__STDCPP_DEFAULT_NEW_ALIGNMENT__`
for all types and is manually set for the `mat4x4f` DNA type. The .blend file format is
not changed at all. The alignment information is purely runtime data.
In the future it would probably be good to generalize this a bit more instead of
hardcoding the alignment for `mat4x4f`, but would make it unnecessarily complex for
now because this is intended for the release branch.

This adds a "Legacy Behavior" option to the Limit Rotation constraint that makes
it behave how Limit Rotation constraints did prior to
ed2408400d. Newly created constraints have this
option disabled, but versioning code enables the option on constraints from

The issue was that we used `from_orthonormal_axes` which obviously expects that
the axes are orthonormal. However, with custom curve normals this is not always the
case. Math wise, an additional normalization is necessary because the cross product
is not automatically normalized anymore.
This change also means that `point_matrix` may have a shearing component. But I
think that's fine here because the matrix is only immediately applied on vertex positions.
This shouldn't affect any case where the normal and tangent are orthonormal.

The issue was a floating point precision issue
between the number of the cycle and the time
within the cycle (`cycle` and `cyct`).
Due to that the `cycle` would advance to the
next whole number while the `cycle time`
is still slightly under that.
This is fixed by calculating the `cycle` with double precision.
This has a measurable performance
impact (for `fcm_cycles_time`)

For fcurves with a cycle modifier,
this code is run at every evaluate call.
The only time when that would be an issue is
in the graph editor, where there is an evaluate
call for roughly every pixel for curves that have a modifier.
However even in that scenario the performance
is the same within run to run variance (for `graph_draw_curves`)

This implements (most of) the proposal in #122743:
* Add a new `IDP_FLAG_STATIC_TYPE` IDProperty flag.
* Update `BPy_IDProperty_Map_ValidateAndCreate` and related to never
change an existing property type if statically typed.
The biggest change happens in bpy assignement code, since instead of
replacing the old exisitng property by a newly created one, and copying
over a few settings, now the old property is kept if possible, and a new
one is only created if needed.
And in case the existing property is statically typed, if it cannot be
re-used to store the given value, and error is reported and it remains
unchanged.
`IDP_ARRAY` is also supported for basic numeric types, so 'vector'
properties and such work as expected. Lentgh is considered as part of
the static type (i.e. one can only assign a 3 components py sequence to
a 3-len array property, etc.).
Such in-place update is not yet implemented for `IDP_IDPARRAY` and
`IDP_GROUP` types. While important (especially the group one), they are
not that critical for the current issues related to changing IDProperty
types.
Masks are not updated when edited when using the GPU compositor. That's
because the GPU compositor caches static resources and invalidates them
according to the recalculate flags that the depsgraph flushes to IDs.
The issue is that the flags are not flushed to the evaluated IDs of the
compositor depsgraph, but rather to some other evaluated versions of the
IDs.
To fix this, we make the compositor depsgraph persistent and store it in
the scene runtime. This allows us to reliably track changes to resources
used by the compositor and also reduces the overhead of depsgraph
creation in the compositor job.

The issue was with a flag that skips a particular post-evaluation step
specially for the Child Of constraint. The flag wasn't getting properly
unset when the constraint target was removed, and therefore that
post-evaluation step was getting erroneously skipped in some cases.
This commit fixes the issue by always setting the flag appropriately in
the Child Of evaluation function itself. This is admittedly rather
hacky, but no more hacky than the existence of the flag in the first
place.

This fixes a bug that happens when two drawings in the same grease pencil
data-block reference the same array. In this case, the same attribute array
pointer is written to .blend files for both drawings. However, when loading the
.blend file, it was not detected that the data is shared. Instead each drawing
would think that it was the single owner of the array even though it was shared.
The same problem can technically occur for all kinds of shared data, and not
just for grease pencil. However, only grease pencil shows this issue currently,
because it can easily happen that the same attribute is shared between different
`CustomData` within the same data-block. This very rarely happens with meshes or
curves, because different `CustomData` usually have different sizes and don't
share the same arrays.
A previous fix (cc891aa699) solved pretty much the same issues for the case
when two layers in the same `CustomData` share data. This original fix is now
generalized and is integrated with `BLO_read_shared` which makes it less error
prone. For each data-block, the `BlendDataReader` now remembers which shared
data it has loaded before so that it is not loaded again.
In the future this could be extended to support data that is shared between
data-blocks, but that's not as straight forward as one would hope currently. For
various reasons, different data-blocks could store independent data at the same
pointer. I specifically noticed that with a regression test file:
`blender/tests/data/modeling/geometry_nodes/attributes/attribute_statistics.blend`.
To support it, one solution could be to tag `BHead` in .blend files to indicate
that a specific pointer is shared and unique within the entire file. But that's
for another day.

Support for "System" extensions as an alternative to the current
"User" extensions repository.
The purpose of this change is to support bundling extensions for
offline work or in environments where users setting up thier own
extensions isn't desirable, see #122512.
Details:
The default "System" repository on Linux will for example use:
- `/usr/share/blender/4.2/extensions/{system}` For system installs.
- `./4.2/extensions/{system}` For portable installs.
- Blender's default startup now has a "System" repository
which users or administrators may populate.
- Repositories can select between User/System paths,
setting a custom path overrides overrides this setting.
- Add "BLENDER_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS" (matching "BLENDER_LOCAL_EXTENSIONS").
