What

tools/RunicNpcHarness.cs 0.2.0: the measurements stage 5 opens with (docs runicnpc/PLAN.md, stage 5). The plugin itself is unchanged. The prototype combat state lives in the harness only.

Command	Measures
`rnh.npcfight [secs] [only]`	our own sensing and combat state against a stock scientist, ours, a boar, a wolf, and an ally on the line of fire
`rnh.sense [secs]`	what that sensing costs: 100 against 100 scientists, 50 against 50 of ours
`rnh.turrets [secs] [only]`	auto turret, flame turret and shotgun trap against a stand-in, a stock scientist and ours (D259)
`rnh.items [secs]`	which kit items Rust's AI uses by itself (D260)
`rnh.pve`	what TruePVE or NextGenPVE (whichever is loaded) does with ours, with no answer, "allow" or "deny" to `CanEntityTakeDamage` (D261)

The prototype marks only its own target Horror for the length of its own shot, because Rust skips every NPC-to-NPC bullet hit otherwise. It guards the nesting of ShotTest and TriggerDown: the first run without that guard left targets Horror for good, and allies shot each other.

Results are in docs#310's text, measured on both rigs. The harness is removed from both rigs.

RunicNpcHarness 0.2.0 adds the measurements stage 5 opens with:

- rnh.npcfight: our own sensing and combat state against a stock
  scientist, another of ours, a boar and a wolf, and with an ally on
  the line of fire. Rust's BaseProjectile.ServerUse drops every hit on
  an NPC from an NPC's gun unless the victim's faction is Horror; the
  prototype marks only its current target Horror for the length of
  each of its own shots.
- rnh.sense: what that sensing costs, 100 against 100 scientists and
  50 against 50 of ours.
- rnh.turrets: auto turret, flame turret and shotgun trap against a
  stand-in player, a stock scientist and ours (D259).
- rnh.items: which kit items Rust's AI uses by itself (D260).
- rnh.pve: what TruePVE or NextGenPVE does with our NPC, and with an
  answer to CanEntityTakeDamage (D261).

Never shipped: a developer tool in tools/.
