I will work more on #20245 and extract new smaller chunks after part of the code is refactored. |

This is a formalization of the small object argument, which is often attributed to Quillen (even though this argument originally due to Baer appeared in works by Cartan-Eilenberg and Grothendieck).
Under favorable circumstances, if
f i : A i ⟶ B iis a family of morphisms in a categoryC, any morphismp : X ⟶ Ycan be factored as a transfinite composition of pushouts of coproducts of morphisms inf, followed by a morphism that has the right lifting property with respect to the familyf.In the PR #20079, we obtain that any Grothendieck abelian category has enough injectives. In particular, using #19986, we shall know that categories of (abelian) sheaves have enough injectives.
(This is WIP. The main PR is #20245.)
