description	Entity API guidance for SS14-ART-CORE SS14 work. Use when passing EntityUid, Entity generic pairs, optional entity references, NetEntity conversion, Resolve/TryComp usage, entity spawning, deletion, or entity lifetime handling.

SS14 ECS Entities

Use entity APIs so callers can pass already-resolved component pairs without wasting queries.

Workflow

1. Open references/entity-api-patterns.md.
2. Open references/optional-and-weak-entities.md.
3. Open references/spawn-delete-and-lifetime.md.

Rules

• Prefer Entity<T?> for public system APIs that need a component.
• Resolve at method start.
• Use EntityUid? for optional references, not EntityUid.Invalid.
• Use NetEntity in network payloads.
