 Semisimple quotient of a module endomorphism algebra

For a finite-dimensional module over an algebraically closed field, write a Krull-Schmidt decomposition $X={⨁}_a{M}_a^{\oplus m_a}$ with distinct indecomposable types. Each endomorphism ring of $M_a$ is a local endomorphism ring with residue division algebra $k$, by the finite-dimensional division algebra over an algebraically closed field result. Modulo the Jacobson radical of $\mathrm{End}(X)$, the blocks of one type become $M_{m_a}(k)$ and all maps between different types vanish. A composite through a different indecomposable type cannot be invertible, since that would make one type a direct summand of the other. This yields the displayed product and the Levi decomposition of a quiver automorphism group.
