What problem does it solve?

It prevents broken or stale Unity DOTS baking results by guiding you to create deterministic entity output with correct dependency tracking and explicit transform usage.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Dependency-safe baking: Ensures referenced assets and sibling components re-trigger baking correctly via proper DependsOn usage and baker-mediated reads.
• Correct TransformUsageFlags: Selects the smallest valid transform archetype and avoids missing transforms or unnecessary chunk bloat.
• Prefab Entity references + fan-out: Converts referenced prefabs and creates additional entities from one authoring source using bake-time patterns that avoid runtime spawners.
• Senior guardrails: Avoids common failure modes like bypassing dependency tracking (e.g., reading authoring.transform), early-outing before DependsOn, and introducing nondeterminism.
