Partial review. Just some minor wording and grammar nitpicks. Its beautiful 🥺

Occurs to me that I reviewed this like a 500 word english essay that's due in 3 weeks. 😅 |

Baller guide. You're the GOAT.

| Don't forget the client-side system, even if it's empty. Otherwise the client won't be able to instanciate the system class and it will remain unpredicted. | ||

| Avoid shared abstract components. Some ancient code is still doing this, but nowadays we just instead put the entire component into `Content.Shared`, even if some datafields are only used on the server or client. This is minimally worse for performance, but makes the code much more readable, simplifies any API methods and makes it easier to use `TryComp` and `Resolve`. |

Good place to re-mention netSync and serverOnly here!

Wait is serverOnly even mentioned? I think the only thing related to server-only datafields is when you imply not adding AutoNetworkedField to fields that shouldn't be networked.

To be honest I never used serverOnly so far, so no clue. Usually most components just keep the datafield on the client, even if it's only used on the server. Probably because it's just a microoptimization.

Looking great! Thanks for writing all of this up!
Clarified how prediction works

Ok, I have rewritten some explanations and I hope they should be more clear now. |

Adds a guide to prediction, along with a few code examples and gifs showcasing the results.
I tried writing down everything that needs to be known, let me know if anything is wrong or unclear.
Draft until I had a few contributors and maintainers proofreading this and give feedback.
Especially the section on ApplyingState seems like it could be explained a little better, but it's a complicated topic.
ToDo in a future PR: Update the
Basic Networking and youdoc to include sections on field deltas,NetSerializableAttributeand howEntityUidsare converted intoNetEntitiesby the source generator.
