The motivations for delaying the site-lisp files are different between
interactive and non-interactive sessions. I've revised these comments to
reflect that.
These checks and warnings were added on some recent commit of Emacs.
They're annoying to deal with and the end-user typically can't do much
about them (e.g. old packages), so I suppress them across the board.
That said, there are a few we cannot catch in non-interactive
sessions (where they aren't delayed), and those early warnings don't
respect delayed-warnings-list. This ought to be considered a bug
upstream.
I revisit all our startup optimizations to see how they fair in Emacs
29.x and 30.x. Most of them still hold up. I've revised and updated most
of the accompanying comments to better explain them, given what I know
now compared to when I first wrote them.
Before this, startup optimizations were disabled in debug mode, but more
often than not, this just made it difficult to reproduce some errors at
startup.
One various OSes, Emacs ships with site-lisp files that load
OS/architecture-specific config (like native-comp config), or load-lines
for Emacs packages installed via your OS package manager (like mu4e).
Output from these are rarely suppressed, for some reason, which causes
noise in *Messages* at startup, which triggers a redraw, which can be
very expensive during startup, depending on your window system.
BREAKING CHANGE: This deprecates the IS-(MAC|WINDOWS|LINUX|BSD) family
of global constants in favor of a native `featurep` check:
IS-MAC -> (featurep :system 'macos)
IS-WINDOWS -> (featurep :system 'windows)
IS-LINUX -> (featurep :system 'linux)
IS-BSD -> (featurep :system 'bsd)
The constants will stick around until the v3 release so folks can still
use it -- and there are still some modules that use it, but I'll phase
those uses out gradually.
Fix: #7479
Ensures that lexical contexts are never taken into account, in the case
where Doom's core is loaded in an isolated environment (e.g. the
sandbox). Also improves my startup time by 10%? I'll take it.
Silences some byte-compiler warnings about:
- 'nreverse on constant list' on add-hook! calls.
- inhibit-changing-match-data deprecation warning.
- unescaped quotes in docstring in some doom-*-dir variables.
- Variable non-essential should be quoted (though it isn't referring to
a variable).
- CONTEXT -> CONTEXTS to match argument name.
In later versions of Emacs 29, this variable has been renamed without a
deprecation alias, causing void-variable errors wherever it is used.
Since it could potentially be used outside of Doom, I'll use a variable
alias until we formally drop 28 support (not for a long time).

warning-suppress-types' pre-29 documentation suggests that it accepts a
list of symbols, but a recent, upstream correction changes this.

This is a regression introduced in 1c4217a.
Doom unsets command-line-x-option-alist when it reasonably suspects it's
not running in an X environment. The heuristic for that is checking when
`initial-window-system` is set to `x`, but as it turns out, PGTK builds
of Emacs set this to `pgtk`, so PGTK users were deprived of Emacs' X
switches, like --geometry, --foreground, --font, etc (they'd throw an
"Unknown option" error at startup). This was fixed.
However, this heuristic isn't perfect. Not all PGTK users are on X (I'd
hazard to guess most of them aren't). So a more reliable check is
needed (and it's too early in the startup process for us to call
display-graphic-p on any frame). The `(not IS-LINUX)` or `(or IS-MAC
IS-WINDOWS)` I had previously used (before 1c4217a) wasn't enough
either, because users can (and do) install X on these
systems (especially where WSL is involved). Still, until I've found a
better one, this is an acceptable workaround.

It's kind of a pain to have different behavior when you're debugging.
Some errors may not present without them, so best to remain predictable
and permit these optimizations even when debug mode is on.
defcustom does some initialization work to accommodate the possibility
that the user has set the variable before it was defined. This work is
unneeded so early at startup, so I disable it (temporarily).
In the future, Doom will use defcustom more, as it's a helpful
indication to readers what variables I intended for configuration (and
helps with discovery of options through `M-x doom/help-custom-variable`
or `M-x customize`). As that transition occurs, the benefit of this
optimization will begin to show, but for now its effect on startup time
is negligible.
* lisp/doom.el (warning-suppress-types): set this immediately. Since its
default value is nil and this happens so early at startup, we don't
have to be considerate of defaults. Plus, this custom-dont-initialize
optimization can cause breakage if a warning is thrown *before* before
this setting is changed.
Introduces a system to announce what execution contexts are active, so I
can react appropriately, emit more helpful logs/warnings in the case of
issues, and throw more meaningful errors.
* bin/doom: load module CLIs in the 'modules' context.
* lisp/cli/doctor.el: load package files in 'packages' context.
* lisp/doom-cli.el:
- (doom-before-init-hook, doom-after-init-hook): trigger hooks at the
correct time. This may increase startup load time, as the benchmark
now times more of the startup process.
- (doom-cli-execute, doom-cli-context-execute,
doom-cli-context-restore, doom-cli-context-parse,
doom-cli--output-benchmark-h, doom-cli-call, doom-cli--restart,
doom-cli-load, run!): remove redundant context prefix in debug logs,
it's now redundant with doom-context, which doom-log now prefixes
them with.
* lisp/doom-lib.el (doom-log): prefix doom-context to doom-log output,
unless it starts with :.
* lisp/doom-packages.el (package!, doom-packages--read): throw error if
not used in a packages.el file or in the context of our package
manager.
* lisp/doom-profiles.el (doom-profile--generate-init-vars,
doom-profile--generate-load-modules): use modules doom-context instead
of doom-init-time to detect startup.
* lisp/doom-start.el (doom-load-packages-incrementally-h): move function
closer to end of doom-after-init-hook.
* lisp/doom.el:
- (doom-before-init-hook, doom--set-initial-values-h,
doom--begin-init-h): rename doom--set-initial-values-h to
doom--begin-init-h and ensure it runs as late in
doom-before-init-hook as possible, as that is the point where Doom's
"initialization" formally begins.
- (doom-after-init-hook): don't trigger at the end of command-line-1
in non-interactive sessions. This will be triggered manually in
doom-cli.el's run!.
* lisp/lib/config.el (doom/reload, doom/reload-autoloads,
doom/reload-env): use 'reload' context for reload commands.
* modules/lang/emacs-lisp/autoload.el (+emacs-lisp-eval): use 'eval'
context.
* modules/lang/org/config.el: remove doom-reloading-p; check for
'reload' doom context instead.
* lisp/doom-cli.el:
- reference backport source commit.
- doom-cli--restart: a type check is all we need here. This is a
programmer error, not a user error.
* lisp/doom-editor.el (recentf): mention recentf-show-abbreviated (added in
emacs-mirror/emacs@32906819ad)
* lisp/doom-keybinds.el (doom-init-leader-keys-h): move to
doom-after-init-hook, in case the user customizes leader variables in
a previous hook (like emacs-startup-hook or after-init-hook).
* lisp/doom-start.el: use eval-when! to compile out the section on
non-macOS systems (when Doom gets around to compiling its core files,
later).
* modules/config/literate/autoload.el (+literate-config-file): use
file-name-concat instead of string concat. This relaxes the
requirement that doom-user-dir end in a /; a requirement I intend to
fully phase out.
* modules/lang/emacs-lisp/autoload.el (+emacs-lisp-non-package): remove
empty map! macro in flycheck-emacs-lisp-check-form. The macro already
no-ops at compile-time/in noninteractive sessions since b480ed51a3.
* modules/ui/hl-todo/config.el (hl-todo-keyword-faces): revise
commentary for default hl-todo keywords.

This introduces a depth field for modules so that they may dictate their
load order explicitly, it also treats depths <= -100 or >= 100 as
special depths, which will be loaded early, before their respective
doom-{before,after}-module-{init,config}-hook. This permits psuedo
modules like :core and :user modules to be treated as normal modules
without too many special cases.
This also fixes a module load order issue on Emacs 29 (#6813), caused by
emacs-mirror/emacs@4311bd0bd7, which changed the return value order of
hash-table-{keys,values} causing modules to be loaded in reverse order;
resulting in the loss of evil keybinds, among other things.
Other notable changes:
- Changes the data structure for module data caches from a list to a
vector. Uses less memory and permits faster lookups. Also adds two
depth fields to the front of it.
- Changes the signature of doom-module-list and doom-package-list.
- Renames doom--read-packages -> doom-packages--read for consistency
with naming convention.
- Add doom-module-depth function.
- Adds a temporary doom-core-dir/init.el file, which is responsible for
loading doom-*.el.

In this commit I start using doom-profile-*-dir vars, though it will
make no difference to the default Doom install (only to profiles, and in
the future, in v3, where we'll drop $EMACSDIR/.local entirely).
