When I use the cursor, I can read as you say in the lower right part the name of the entity. The calibre editor identifies this way by their own names the no-break space (displayed by a yellow square in code view) and the narrow no-break space (displayed by a plain blank in code view).

However, the editor does not seem to change the nbsp; to #160. After saving the calibre correction, I opened again the EPUB file in sigil and I still had all my 1077 nbsp; like before.

I think there is a need to publish somewhere a kind of transposition table to explain clearly what changes will be (or should be) performed by the calibre editor and on which entities.

I.e., technically speaking, Calibre Editor, is correct about reporting unmanifested files, because META-INF isn't supposed to contain files other than container.xml, but you can ignore this warning.
OK thanks for this clarification.
