Twenty-four strings an administrator reads carried an internal decision
number - "(D189)", "(D198)", "(D257, D270)" and the like: the permission
screen's group Servers tab and a chip tooltip, the event editor's step
field and budget descriptions, two option sources, a command reward's
skipped note, and five NPC profile validation errors. A D-number means
something to the plan, never to an operator. Each is removed, and the
sentence around it left as it was. The developer-facing swagger
descriptions and code comments keep theirs.
The servers page's chat-title line read "Last pushed: 1 player hold
one." It now says "holds" for one.
Two tests pinned the old wording and now assert the text instead.
Found while writing the runicgateway.com Rust docs (its PLAN.md §16,
phase 15).

Stage 2 of PLAN_LAST_FIXES (docs#366).
- W7/W11: an "is it loaded" refusal is confirmed live before it is given.
New liveStatus.js asks the sidecar once (boot.refreshOne, as a poll tick
would), at most once per server per 5 s and waiting at most 3 s, then
reads the stored status again. Used by Economics (step and staff page),
Backpacks, Dangerous Treasures, Guarded Crate, RaidableBases, ZoneDomes,
TruePVE and RunicNPC.
- W3: a world call answered `already-out` (the bridge half comes in stage
3) succeeds as called 0, saying a Travelling Vendor is already out.
- W6: "A locked crate dropped by a Chinook is being hacked."
- W8: a RaidableBases profile's audit row names RaidableBases, not "@data".
- W10: the backpack sizes picker lists each size once, naming its servers.
- W13: a RaidableBases name both servers describe differently shows each
server's own description.
- W14: each RaidableBases note after the first starts its own sentence.
- W15: a staff deposit refused at Economics' limit answers 409.
- W16: a payment's failedNote explains only the reasons that happened.
- W17: the sync state counts player grants that did not land
(waitingToLand), and the Permissions page says "in sync · 1 waits for
their player to join" instead of plain "in sync".
- W18: Guarded Crate's kept note drops the "30 minutes" it could not know.

A Place NPCs step on a server without RunicNPC, or with one older than the
bridge needs, is refused before it is sent: "<server> needs RunicNPC to place
NPCs, Rust's own scientists included: <why>". Rust's own scientists were the
fallback until now (D243); they need RunicNPC too. Crates are unaffected.
- npcs.model: API_NEEDED rises from 4 to 6, the bridge's RunicNpcApiNeeded, so a
server the site calls ready is one the bridge will not refuse as runicnpc-old.
The profile push follows the same floor.
- eventWorld: profileMissing becomes npcMissing, asked for every NPC step.
- Admin → Rust → Servers: each server carries `runicNpc` ({ready, absence,
version, api}) and a server without one that will do reads "Incomplete" with
the reason. Swagger documents the field.
The event picker is unchanged in this commit (an open question on the PR).

The profile form's Loot section (D290-D301):
- what the corpse starts with (Rust's scientist loot, the kit, or
nothing);
- rows that always roll, each with its chance;
- a pool capped at its picks, with a "nothing" weight;
- which crate the table goes into, and a locked crate's hack time;
- how long the corpse stays.
The site checks the block as RunicNPC does, in its words. Whether an
item exists on a server is RunicNPC's to say on the push.
The Place NPCs step's dropLoot switch (D296), on by default and sent
only when off.

The profile form's boss box (D273-D277): the bar's distance, where its
lines are said, the spawn and death lines, and phases at health
percentages, each with optional damage, aim, speed, ranges, a kit swap,
adds of another profile and a line. The passive role (D278, D279,
D288): press E answers with a chat line or a window, it moves as its
profile says (now including `stand`), and it starts unhurtable.
The site checks both as RunicNPC does, in its words; a phase's kit is
checked on each server like the profile's own, and its adds must name a
site profile that is not a boss.
Public triggers rust.boss.spawned, rust.boss.phase and rust.boss.killed
(D277) from the bridge's new frames. In the feed, a boss appearing is
public; its death names the killer, so it sits behind the presence
setting; its phases are staff's, as the game tells them only to players
near it (D286). engagement-triggers.json regenerated.

RunicNPC stage 5 on the site (docs runicnpc/PLAN.md, D253-D272):
- profiles gain the guard role, faction, relations (its own exceptions),
alertRadius, turrets, hurtByPlayers, hurtsPlayers and kitUse, checked in
RunicNPC's order and words, and defaulting to "players only" (D255);
- the faction table: one site-wide table, one row per pair and both ways
(D254, D268), stored in rust_npc_factions, edited on the NPC profiles page
(PUT /admin/rust/npcs/factions), pushed to every server with its
profiles and hashed with them, and a standalone server's own pairs
adopted at its first push with the site's winning (D244, D251);
- the Place NPCs step takes escort (a Steam id or a {placeholder}), an ally
(a clan from the new rust.options.clans source, or the team of a player)
and tether (the zone this event made), for a RunicNPC profile only
(D269, D270, D272);
- a placement may be held inside a zone (tether, D272);
- the bridge's RunicNPC API floor is 4.
Tests: 488 server, 66 client. routes.manifest.json regenerated against the
pinned core (one route added).

Admin: Rust NPC profiles (the form RunicNPC reads, per server, shared or
fleet, each server's push state and refusals, replaced profiles with
Restore) and Rust NPC placements (the live map: click to place, pins for
every placement; edit, rename, respawn, remove). The live map takes a pick
handler and pins, unchanged for the public page.
Public: the leaderboard ranks by a profile's kills (D250), and opening a
row shows that player's kills by profile (D252); the killfeed names a
RunicNPC NPC by its own name. Player: your own kills by profile. Titles: a
rule on a profile's kills picks the profile. npcs.test.js covers the
profile checks, adoption, the push, the picker and verb, the triggers, kill
crediting, titles and placements (481 server tests).
