DOTS authoring and debugging workflows in the Unity Editor
summary
Upcoming DOTS Editor tools show concrete workflows: Entities 0.50 adds an Archetypes window, Components and Systems panels, two Profiler modules, and Entities journaling that captures millions of set-component records with executing-system blame. Conversion runs incrementally from SubScenes so GameObject authoring updates patch entity runtime state. Preview of mixed data mode in Entities 1.0 lets one inspect and edit authoring values and live entity values in Play, toggle pure authoring/runtime views, and disable systems to isolate expensive structural-change spikes.
