an authoring script (`authoring/<name>.ts`, run by `behaviour.write` with `run`) did not run to the end: it threw (with its line), a read it made was refused (outside the project, a dot-folder, `node_modules`, a link out, not text, over 16 MB), it ran past 10 s or 256 MB or made over 20,000 entities, or its default export is not a function; the scene is left as it was

## Meaning

an authoring script (`authoring/<name>.ts`, run by `behaviour.write` with `run`) did not run to the end: it threw (with its line), a read it made was refused (outside the project, a dot-folder, `node_modules`, a link out, not text, over 16 MB), it ran past 10 s or 256 MB or made over 20,000 entities, or its default export is not a function; the scene is left as it was

## Fix

read the message, fix the script with `behaviour.write` `edits`, and run it again
