It is strange. I disabled all the mods just to be on a safe side and enabled only this mod + your library. Here is what I got: (using the latest available version)
` Error while running event Kux-SlimInserters::on_built_entity (ID 6) Unknown entity name: basic-slim-inserter_part-a stack traceback: [C]: in function 'create_entity' __Kux-SlimInserters__/events/on_built_entity.lua:105: in function 'on_built_slim_inserter' __Kux-SlimInserters__/events/on_built_entity.lua:58: in function <__Kux-SlimInserters__/events/on_built_entity.lua:43>
Could that be because I don't have SA while you got one?

Unknown entity name: basic-slim-inserter_part-a
that surprises me, it should actually be there.
I did test my mod only with the base mod. not buyed the SA.

So yeah, probably need an extra check like

if game.prototypes.entity["basic-slim-inserter_part-a"] then
...

a "double" inserter is internally made by two insertes but build at once. both inserters have same setting.

a "dual" inserter is basical two inserter at the same tile. e.g. you can build a yellow inserter and additional a blue inserter at the same tile. both insertes work independently of each other. you can use diffent filters, you can fill both lanes with differnt items.
