What

Your answers of 2026-10-05 for stage 7 (loot), in runicnpc/PLAN.md (§0, §7 and stage 7).

#	Decision
D290	What a corpse starts with is the profile's: Rust's scientist loot (default, as today), the kit it wore, or nothing. Its loot table is added on top.
D291	A table is rows that always roll (each its own chance and amount), plus a pool that picks at most N by weight, with an optional "nothing". The pool is the cap.
D292	A profile may put its table into a crate instead: wooden box, military crate, elite crate, or the hackable locked crate.
D293	Anyone may loot, as in Rust.
D294	How long the corpse stays is the profile's: Rust's default, seconds, or none.
D295	One table per profile. The site edits it, but RunicNPC is first-class and does not depend on the website.
D296	An event's Place NPCs step has a "drop loot" switch, on by default.
D297	The locked crate's hack timer is the profile's, Rust's 15 minutes by default.
D298	Without a site, a table is edited in the data file and read again with `rnpc.reload`. No new in-game commands.
D299	One stage, spike first on both rigs, walked once.

Stage 7's section now lists the spike:

the corpse-loot hook, and whether our subclass can fill the corpse itself;
the crates;
whether the locked crate's timer can be set per crate (Rust's is one server-wide setting);
removing a corpse.

This branch sits on docs#317 (which itself carries docs#316), so the decisions table continues from D289. Merge those first and this diff is its own commit.

docs(runicnpc): stage 6 build decisions D285-D289 023ba77ceb

D285 an event's boss rewards stay the Rust module's existing steps;
D286 spawn and death lines to everyone, phase lines to players near
the boss; D287 adds fight on after the boss dies; D288 a passive NPC
moves as its profile says; D289 the four example profiles.

docs(runicnpc): stage 6 built and walked; API 5; protocol §19.14 6d319c843b

API.md version 5: the profile's boss and use blocks, the passive role
and stand, the boss hooks and OnRunicNpcUsed, role and boss in
RunicNpc_List, RunicNpc_Despawn taking a boss's adds, the example kits
written once, and a Kits reload taking RunicNPC with it (D283).

PROTOCOL.md §19.14: npc.boss.spawned, npc.boss.phase and npc.boss.died,
their classes, and runicnpc_api 5.

PLAN.md stage 6: what was built, the builds it was tested on, the
harness and the site walk on both rigs, and what building it found.
The example kits' permission is kits.runicnpc.

docs(runicnpc): stage 6 tested line says what ran 1f6255adec

The s6 group passed 41/41 on both rigs; its 42nd check (a dead boss's id
taking its adds) came with the walk's fix and has not been run in the
harness yet.

Loot: the corpse's start is the profile's (Rust's scientist loot, the kit,
or nothing) with its table on top; a table is always-rows plus a pool
capped at N picks; an optional crate, the locked one included, with the
profile's hack timer; anyone loots; the corpse's time is the profile's;
one table per profile, edited in the data file without a site; an
event's Place NPCs step switches table loot; one stage, spike first.
