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).
