`ctx.world.spawn` was called with neither `like` nor `prefab`, so it names nothing to spawn (`SpawnError`)

## Meaning

`ctx.world.spawn` was called with neither `like` nor `prefab`, so it names nothing to spawn (`SpawnError`)

## Fix

call `spawn({ like: "<scene id>" })` naming a live entity to copy, or `spawn({ prefab: "prefabs/<name>.prefab.json" })`
