# Objective

Sometimes, the unwraps in `entity_mut` could fail here, if the entity was despawned *before* this command was applied.

The simplest case involves two command buffers:
```rust
use bevy::prelude::*;
fn b(mut commands1: Commands, mut commands2: Commands) {
    let id = commands2.spawn().insert_bundle(()).id();
    commands1.entity(id).despawn();
}
fn main() {
    App::build().add_system(b.system()).run();
}
```

However, a more complicated version arises in the case of ambiguity:

```rust
use std::time::Duration;

use bevy::{app::ScheduleRunnerPlugin, prelude::*};
use rand::Rng;

fn cleanup(mut e: ResMut<Option<Entity>>) {
    *e = None;
}

fn sleep_randomly() {
    let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
    std:🧵:sleep(Duration::from_millis(rng.gen_range(0..50)));
}

fn spawn(mut commands: Commands, mut e: ResMut<Option<Entity>>) {
    *e = Some(commands.spawn().insert_bundle(()).id());
}

fn despawn(mut commands: Commands, e: Res<Option<Entity>>) {
    let mut rng = rand::thread_rng();
    std:🧵:sleep(Duration::from_millis(rng.gen_range(0..50)));
    if let Some(e) = *e {
        commands.entity(e).despawn();
    }
}

fn main() {
    App::build()
        .add_system(cleanup.system().label("cleanup"))
        .add_system(sleep_randomly.system().label("before_despawn"))
        .add_system(despawn.system().after("cleanup").after("before_despawn"))
        .add_system(sleep_randomly.system().label("before_spawn"))
        .add_system(spawn.system().after("cleanup").after("before_spawn"))
        .insert_resource(None::<Entity>)
        .add_plugin(ScheduleRunnerPlugin::default())
        .run();
}
```

In the cases where this example crashes, it's because `despawn` was ordered before `spawn` in the topological ordering of systems (which determines when buffers are applied). However, `despawn` actually ran *after* `spawn`, because these systems are ambiguous, so the jiggles in the sleeping time triggered a case where this works.

## Solution

- Give a better error message
