world.place of one of Rust's own NPC prefabs now needs RunicNPC loaded and
answering RunicNpcApiNeeded, as a profile placement does, so a module that
missed the hello cannot place NPCs on a server the site calls incomplete. The
refusal comes before anything spawns, with the existing reasons
runicnpc-missing and runicnpc-old; a profile placement now also refuses an old
RunicNPC up front (it was refused only when it carried orders). Crates are
unaffected. No message changes shape; protocol stays 13.
overlay.toml's runicnpc_api comment and rg.npc's line say RunicNPC is required.
