lualib/vanilla/types (types_entity / types_item)

Lists of Factorio prototype types (entities and items), used for dynamic type resolution at data stage.

Sources	lualib/vanilla/types_entity.lua, lualib/vanilla/types_item.lua
Origin	engine type lists
Access	direct-path require (internal)

Nature — Copies of engine lists (variables made local, optimization). They feed RitnPrototype:getEntityType / :getItemType: iterating these lists to find the existing data.raw[type][name] lets RitnProtoEntity / RitnProtoItem constructors auto-detect the type. Excluded from LuaLS annotations, not detailed here.
