Currently, if you time travel to places you shouldn't in ELiDE, it will either crash, or silently let you edit world state that will never be simulated.
I want to make ELiDE detect illogical attempts at time travel and stop them with a polite error message.
Illogical time travel cases:
Trying to go to a turn or tick that is earlier than the start of its branch
Trying to go to a turn or tick that is later than the end of its branch plus one turn (but the scheduler can still schedule things for later)
I think I would prefer a non-modal error message, similar to a line in a log. And make the time travel panel blink red.
