Invalid VFX operation

ara-vfx reports invalid effects, graph projections, bindings or simulation inputs. Invalid authoring commands are rejected and leave the effect unchanged.

#Common causes

• VFX names repeat, modules occupy the wrong stages, an emitter lacks exactly one lifetime and one geometry module, or parameter bindings have the wrong scope or type.
• A VFX command targets a missing emitter/module/parameter, CPU depth collision lacks an authoritative DepthQuery, or the simulation tick counter is exhausted.

#Fixes

• Correct the effect with vfx.text.apply or vfx.stack.edit; give modules unique names, legal stages and valid typed bindings.

• Supply an authoritative DepthQuery for CPU depth collision, or reset the VFX instance if its tick counter is exhausted.
