Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing both reported workflows in the Unity Editor: spawn a prefab missing from the Network Prefab List, then create a prefab with a NetworkObject and reopen it. Trace the prefab-list handling and define done as a clear editor warning for the first case and reliable addition to the Default Network Prefab List for the second.

Description

type:feedback

Feedback
There doesn't appear to be any logging in the Editor if you call GetComponent<NetworkObject>().Spawn() after instantiating a Prefab that does not appear in the Network Prefab List. The object will silently fail to appear for clients.

Also, when you create a new prefab with a NetworkObject it does not seem to be automatically added to the Default Network Prefab List. If you re-open your prefab and toggle an object or component on and off, it seems like that is what will get it added to the Default list.
