What

Your answers to the six questions the stage 5 build raised, recorded in runicnpc/PLAN.md (§0, §6, stage 5).

#	Decision
D267	`turrets: always` reaches Outpost's and Bandit Camp's sentries through a Harmony patch on `NPCAutoTurret.Ignore` and `IsEntityHostile`, for our `always` NPCs only. Rust's `TargetScan` calls `Ignore` before any Oxide or Carbon hook, so no hook can do it. Your condition is recorded: if the walk shows a sentry targeting Rust's own scientists or bandit guards, the sentry half of `always` is dropped.
D268	A faction pair is one row, both ways. Any of our NPCs that is shot fights back at whoever shot it.
D269	Escort is an order, not a role. Any roamer or guard profile can take it. When the target dies or leaves, the NPCs walk back to their spot.
D270	The Place NPCs step names the escort by Steam id (or a `{placeholder}`), and the ally by a clan from the site's list or as "the team of player <Steam id>". Both are optional.
D271	PVE opt-out: two checkboxes, "players can hurt it" and "it can hurt players". RunicNPC enforces them itself.
D272	A zone tether is set on a placement and on an event step, not on a profile.

The build follows on edge in runicnpc-rust, Rust-Plugins, Module-Rust (and Rust-Link if the wire needs it), walked once end to end (D253).

docs(runicnpc): stage 5 build decisions D267-D272 eb729f7dd4

The org lead's answers to the six questions the stage 5 build raised
(2026-10-01): a Harmony patch for the safe-zone sentries under the
condition that it never reaches Rust's own scientists (D267), faction pairs
both ways and shooting back (D268), escort as an order that walks home
when the target is gone (D269), the event step's escort and ally (D270),
the PVE opt-out as two checkboxes (D271), and the tether on placements and
event steps rather than profiles (D272).
