AuthoringComponentOn(string)

The type name of the first generation component on a prefab, or null.

A prefab reports GameObject, so the type chain cannot tell that the prefab is really an authoring object: Barrels.prefab's root carries FIMSpace.Generating.ObjectStampMultiEmitter and drags 904 dependencies (531 GameObjects, eleven RenderTextures) behind it. Measured 19.09.2026 — a synthetic root holding that one prefab came back Failed, 2 errors, 0 files, while the epic-toon-fx prefabs went through. Children are walked too, because a generation component is not required to sit at the root, and a prefab asset is already in memory so the walk costs no loading.

Public for the same reason as IsAuthoringData(Type): the content gates ask it too.
