+## Kickoff clarifications
+
+| Topic | Question | Agent recommendation | Answer |
+|--------|----------|----------------------|--------|
+| **Telegraph wire layout** | Nested on NPC row vs separate top-level array? | **Nested optional `activeTelegraph`** on each `npcInstances` row — matches E5M2-08 in-scope bullet; one array for client markers + HUD. | **User:** nested. |
+| **Windup timing field** | `windupRemainingSeconds` vs `windupEndsAtUtc`? | **`windupRemainingSeconds`** — backlog AC + “no client windup math”; server computes from catalog + `TimeProvider`. | **User:** `windupRemainingSeconds`. |
+| **Manual QA doc** | Add `docs/manual-qa/NEO-94.md`? | **Skip** — server-only HTTP; Bruno + integration tests (NEO-90/93 pattern). | **User:** skip. |
+
+## Goal, scope, and out-of-scope
+
+**Goal:** Expose **`GET /game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot`** — authoritative NPC runtime rows + active telegraphs for client poll (~1 Hz in combat). Handler invokes **`NpcRuntimeOperations.AdvanceAll`** before read (lazy tick).
+
+**In scope (from Linear + [E5M2-08](E5M2-prototype-backlog.md#e5m2-08--telegraphevent-snapshot-get--wire-dtos)):**
+
+- **`NpcRuntimeSnapshotWorldApi`** + DTOs projecting all three **`PrototypeNpcRegistry`** instances.
+- Per-row fields: **`npcInstanceId`**, **`behaviorDefId`**, **`state`** (stable snake_case via **`NpcBehaviorStateWire`**), **`aggroHolderPlayerId`**, optional nested **`activeTelegraph`**.
+- **`activeTelegraph`** when in **`telegraph_windup`**: **`telegraphId`**, **`npcInstanceId`**, **`windupRemainingSeconds`**, **`archetypeKind`** (from bound behavior def).
+- Envelope: **`schemaVersion` 1**, **`serverTimeUtc`**, **`npcInstances`** array (ascending instance id order).
+- Handler calls **`AdvanceAll(nowUtc, …)`** with default **5.0 s** delta cap before building the response.
+- Integration tests (AAA) with **`InMemoryWebApplicationFactory.FakeClock`** — cast acquire → aggro → advance → telegraph with decreasing **`windupRemainingSeconds`**.
+- Bruno folder **`bruno/neon-sprawl-server/npc-runtime-snapshot/`** — lock → damage → advance time → poll telegraph smoke.
+- **`server/README.md`** route section; update threat/runtime “HTTP read” notes.
+
+**Out of scope (from Linear + backlog):**
+
+- Godot poll client ([NEO-97](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-97)).
+- Player damage / combat HP on snapshot ([NEO-95](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-95)).
+- Telemetry instrumentation ([NEO-96](https://linear.app/neon-sprawl/issue/NEO-96)).
+- `docs/manual-qa/NEO-94.md` (kickoff decision).
+
+## Acceptance criteria checklist
+
+- [x] Snapshot reflects state transition within one poll generation after aggro (cast acquire → next GET shows **`aggro`** on locked NPC).
+- [x] Active telegraph row appears during windup with decreasing **`windupRemainingSeconds`** across polls.
+- [x] Bruno smoke: lock NPC → damage → poll until **`activeTelegraph`** present on melee row.
+
+## Technical approach
+
+### Handler flow
+
+1. Resolve **`TimeProvider clock`**, **`INpcRuntimeStateStore`**, **`IThreatStateStore`**, **`INpcBehaviorDefinitionRegistry`** from DI.
+2. `var now = clock.GetUtcNow()`.
+3. **`NpcRuntimeOperations.AdvanceAll(now, runtimeStore, threatStore, behaviorRegistry)`**.
+4. Return **`Results.Json(BuildSnapshot(...))`** from a testable static **`BuildSnapshot`** (mirror **`CooldownSnapshotApi.BuildSnapshot`**).
+
+### Response envelope (v1)
+
+```json
+{
+  "schemaVersion": 1,
+  "serverTimeUtc": "2026-04-30T12:00:03Z",
+  "npcInstances": [
+    {
+      "npcInstanceId": "prototype_npc_elite",
+      "behaviorDefId": "prototype_elite_mini_boss",
+      "state": "idle",
+      "aggroHolderPlayerId": null,
+      "activeTelegraph": null
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+During windup, **`activeTelegraph`** is non-null:
+
+```json
+"activeTelegraph": {
+  "telegraphId": "prototype_npc_melee:638…",
+  "npcInstanceId": "prototype_npc_melee",
+  "windupRemainingSeconds": 1.2,
+  "archetypeKind": "melee_pressure"
+}
+```
+
+**`windupRemainingSeconds`** = `max(0, behaviorDef.telegraphWindupSeconds - (nowUtc - windupStartedUtc).TotalSeconds)` — clamp at zero; omit telegraph object when state ≠ **`telegraph_windup`** (even if internal row still winding down within same advance step — projection reads post-**`AdvanceAll`** store).
+
+### Row assembly (per prototype instance id)
+
+| Source | Field |
+|--------|--------|
+| **`PrototypeNpcRegistry`** | **`npcInstanceId`**, **`behaviorDefId`** |
+| **`IThreatStateStore`** | **`aggroHolderPlayerId`** |
+| **`INpcRuntimeStateStore`** | **`state`** via **`NpcBehaviorStateWire.ToWireName`** |
+| Runtime row + behavior def | **`activeTelegraph`** when **`TelegraphWindup`** |
+
+All three instances always present (same contract shape as **`GET /game/world/combat-targets`**).
+
+### Lazy tick on GET
+
+- First GET after process start: **`AdvanceAll`** initializes rows (NEO-93 **`LastAdvancedUtc == MinValue`** path).
+- Subsequent GETs: delta capped at **5.0 s**; **`FakeClock.Advance`** in tests drives telegraph timing without real sleeps.
+- Cast does **not** advance NPC runtime — only snapshot GET (and future stories that explicitly call **`AdvanceAll`**).
+
+### Bruno smoke (E5M2-08 AC)
+
+Pre-request script pattern (from **`combat-targets/Get combat targets after one cast.bru`**):
+
+1. Reset fixture (**`combat-targets-reset-helper.js`**).
+2. Bind slot 0 **`prototype_pulse`**, lock **`prototype_npc_melee`**, damaging cast.
+3. Advance fake/server time **≥ 3.0 s** (melee **`attackCooldownSeconds`**) — Bruno uses real clock against dev server; test asserts telegraph within a follow-up GET after wait or documents fixed **`sleep`** if needed for local Bruno (integration tests use **`FakeClock`** as source of truth).
+4. GET **`/game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot`** — assert melee **`state === "telegraph_windup"`** and **`activeTelegraph.windupRemainingSeconds > 0`**.
+
+### Example timeline (melee, integration test with **`FakeClock`**)
+
+```
+t=0   cast (acquire holder) + GET → melee state "aggro", activeTelegraph null
+t=3   GET (AdvanceAll) → "telegraph_windup", windupRemainingSeconds ≈ 1.5
+t=4   GET → windupRemainingSeconds ≈ 0.5 (decreasing)
+t=4.5 GET → state advances past windup (attack_execute/recover); activeTelegraph null
+```
+
+## Files to add
+
+| Path | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `server/NeonSprawl.Server/Game/Npc/NpcRuntimeSnapshotWorldApi.cs` | **`GET /game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot`** — **`AdvanceAll`** + **`BuildSnapshot`**. |
+| `server/NeonSprawl.Server/Game/Npc/NpcRuntimeSnapshotDtos.cs` | Response envelope + **`NpcInstanceRuntimeJson`** + **`ActiveTelegraphJson`**. |
+| `server/NeonSprawl.Server.Tests/Game/Npc/NpcRuntimeSnapshotWorldApiTests.cs` | AAA integration tests (schema, idle rows, cast→aggro, advance→telegraph, decreasing remaining). |
+| `bruno/neon-sprawl-server/npc-runtime-snapshot/folder.bru` | Bruno folder metadata. |
+| `bruno/neon-sprawl-server/npc-runtime-snapshot/Get npc runtime snapshot.bru` | Happy GET — schema v1 + three instances. |
+| `bruno/neon-sprawl-server/npc-runtime-snapshot/Get snapshot after cast telegraph.bru` | Lock → damage → poll telegraph smoke (E5M2-08 AC). |
+| `docs/plans/NEO-94-implementation-plan.md` | This plan. |
+
+## Files to modify
+
+| Path | Rationale |
+|------|-----------|
+| `server/NeonSprawl.Server/Program.cs` | Register **`app.MapNpcRuntimeSnapshotWorldApi()`** alongside other world GET routes. |
+| `server/README.md` | Add **`GET /game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot`** section; replace “HTTP read | Not exposed yet” in threat + runtime tables. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/E5_M2_NpcAiAndBehaviorProfiles.md` | NEO-94 landed note + HTTP read model cross-link when complete. |
+| `docs/plans/E5M2-prototype-backlog.md` | E5M2-08 acceptance checkboxes + landed note when complete. |
+
+## Tests
+
+| File | Coverage |
+|------|----------|
+| **`NpcRuntimeSnapshotWorldApiTests.cs`** | **Idle baseline:** GET returns **`schemaVersion` 1**, **`serverTimeUtc`**, three **`npcInstances`** in ascending id order; all **`idle`**, null holders, null **`activeTelegraph`**. **Cast → aggro:** after damaging cast on melee, immediate GET shows melee **`state`** **`aggro`**, **`aggroHolderPlayerId`** **`dev-local-1`**, no telegraph. **Advance → telegraph:** advance **`FakeClock`** by **3.0 s**, GET shows **`telegraph_windup`** + **`activeTelegraph`** with **`archetypeKind`** **`melee_pressure`** and **`windupRemainingSeconds`** ≈ **1.5**. **Decreasing remaining:** advance **1.0 s**, second GET shows lower **`windupRemainingSeconds`**. **Non-target NPCs unchanged:** ranged/elite stay **`idle`** in cast scenario. |
+| **Bruno `npc-runtime-snapshot/`** | CI Bruno step — happy GET + cast→telegraph smoke per E5M2-08 AC. |
+
+No `docs/manual-qa/NEO-94.md`. No Godot tests.
+
+## Open questions / risks
+
+| Question / risk | Agent recommendation | Status |
+|-----------------|---------------------|--------|
+| **Linear blockedBy NEO-93** | Proceed — NEO-93 **Done** on `main` (PR #131). | **adopted** |
+| **Bruno real-time wait vs FakeClock** | Integration tests own timing precision; Bruno against dev server may use short **`sleep(3100)`** in pre-request or poll loop — document in `.bru` docs block. | **adopted** |
+| **`behaviorDefId` on row** | Include — static from **`PrototypeNpcRegistry`**; saves NEO-97 from extra behavior-definitions join for archetype markers. | **adopted** |
+| **Player HP on snapshot** | Defer to NEO-95 — this slice exposes NPC runtime + telegraphs only. | **deferred** |
+| **Top-level `telegraphEvents[]`** | Rejected at kickoff — nested **`activeTelegraph`** only. | **adopted** (kickoff) |

+# Code review — NEO-94 (E5M2-08)
+
+**Date:** 2026-05-28  
+**Scope:** Branch `NEO-94-npc-runtime-snapshot-get` vs `origin/main` — full rewrite in `a68d8aa` (+ plan `5442910`)  
+**Base:** `origin/main`
+
+**Follow-up:** Suggestions addressed in `798c601`; re-verified 2026-05-28 (NEO-94 tests 4/4 pass).
+
+## Verdict
+
+**Approve**
+
+## Summary
+
+The rewritten branch delivers E5M2-08 cleanly: **`GET /game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot`** invokes **`NpcRuntimeOperations.AdvanceAll`** on poll, then projects all three **`PrototypeNpcRegistry`** rows with **`behaviorDefId`**, **`state`**, **`aggroHolderPlayerId`**, and optional nested **`activeTelegraph`** (including server-computed **`windupRemainingSeconds`**). The implementation mirrors **`CooldownSnapshotApi`** / **`CombatTargetsWorldApi`** conventions — `internal static BuildSnapshot`, fail-fast registry lookups, versioned envelope with **`serverTimeUtc`**, route registered in **`Program.cs`**. Four AAA integration tests cover idle baseline, cast→aggro, advance→telegraph, and decreasing windup; Bruno adds happy-path + telegraph smoke with documented **`sleep(3100)`**. Build succeeds; NEO-94-filtered tests pass (**4/4**). **`NpcRuntimeStateSnapshot`** is unchanged — projection reads from registry + threat store at HTTP boundary, as planned.
+
+## Documentation checked
+
+| Path | Result |
+|------|--------|
+| `docs/plans/NEO-94-implementation-plan.md` | **Matches** — AC checkboxes marked done; handler flow, wire shape, lazy tick, and file list align with the diff. |
+| `docs/plans/E5M2-prototype-backlog.md` (E5M2-08) | **Matches** — AC checked, landed note present. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/E5_M2_NpcAiAndBehaviorProfiles.md` | **Matches** — E5M2-08 landed in status table; NEO-94 HTTP section + README/Bruno cross-links. |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md` | **Matches** — E5.M2 row includes **NEO-94 landed** (snapshot GET, Bruno folder, plan/README links). |
+| `docs/decomposition/modules/client_server_authority.md` | **Matches** — server-owned runtime + telegraph timing; client poll-only (NEO-97 deferred). |
+| `server/README.md` | **Matches** — threat/runtime HTTP read rows updated; dedicated NEO-94 section with field table and curl. |
+
+## Blocking issues
+
+None.
+
+## Suggestions
+
+1. ~~**Update `documentation_and_implementation_alignment.md`** — Append **NEO-94 landed** to the E5.M2 tracking row (snapshot GET, Bruno folder, plan/README links), matching NEO-90–NEO-93 entries. Listed in the plan “Files to modify” but not yet in the diff.~~ **Done.** (`798c601`)
+
+2. ~~**AAA layout in two integration tests** — `GetNpcRuntimeSnapshot_ShouldShowAggro_OnMeleeAfterDamagingCast` and `GetNpcRuntimeSnapshot_ShouldShowTelegraph_AfterAttackCooldownElapses` call **`ReadFromJsonAsync`** in **Act**. Move status/body reads to **Assert** to match **`CombatTargetsWorldApiTests`** and [csharp-style](../../.cursor/rules/csharp-style.md#unit-and-integration-tests-arrange-act-assert):
+
+   ```csharp
+   // Act
+   var response = await client.GetAsync("/game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot");
+   // Assert
+   Assert.Equal(HttpStatusCode.OK, response.StatusCode);
+   var body = await response.Content.ReadFromJsonAsync<NpcRuntimeSnapshotResponse>();
+   ```~~ **Done.** Aggro + telegraph tests fixed; decreasing-windup test also moves all **`ReadFromJsonAsync`** calls to **Assert** (`798c601`).
+
+## Nits
+
+- Nit: **`ActiveTelegraph`** / **`AggroHolderPlayerId`** could use **`[JsonIgnore(Condition = JsonIgnoreCondition.WhenWritingNull)]`** for leaner JSON (optional; explicit `null` is fine for client parsers).
+- ~~Nit: **`GetNpcRuntimeSnapshot_ShouldDecreaseWindupRemaining_AcrossPolls`** captures **`firstBody`** during **Arrange** (baseline for comparison). Acceptable for a two-poll delta test; alternatively split into two facts for stricter AAA.~~ **Done.** **`ReadFromJsonAsync`** for both polls now in **Assert**; first poll GET remains in **Arrange** as setup (`798c601`).
+
+## Verification
+
+```bash
+# Build + NEO-94 tests (passed 2026-05-28)
+dotnet build NeonSprawl.sln
+dotnet test server/NeonSprawl.Server.Tests/NeonSprawl.Server.Tests.csproj \
+  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~NpcRuntimeSnapshot"
+
+# Full server suite (Postgres persistence tests require local DB; 12 env failures unrelated to NEO-94)
+dotnet test server/NeonSprawl.Server.Tests/NeonSprawl.Server.Tests.csproj
+
+# Bruno (CI or local dev server)
+# bruno/neon-sprawl-server/npc-runtime-snapshot/
+```
+
+Manual: run **`Get snapshot after cast telegraph.bru`** against dev server — melee should reach **`telegraph_windup`** with **`activeTelegraph.windupRemainingSeconds > 0`** after the 3.1 s wait.

+## NPC runtime snapshot (NEO-94)
+
+**`GET /game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot`** returns a versioned JSON body (`schemaVersion` **1**, **`serverTimeUtc`**, **`npcInstances`**) backed by **`INpcRuntimeStateStore`** + **`IThreatStateStore`** after **`NpcRuntimeOperations.AdvanceAll`** (lazy tick, **5.0 s** delta cap). Each row includes **`npcInstanceId`**, **`behaviorDefId`**, **`state`** (stable snake_case), **`aggroHolderPlayerId`**, and optional nested **`activeTelegraph`** during **`telegraph_windup`**. All three **`PrototypeNpcRegistry`** instances are always returned in ascending **`npcInstanceId`** order.

+| Field | Meaning |
+|-------|---------|
+| **`npcInstanceId`** | Lowercase prototype NPC instance id. |
+| **`behaviorDefId`** | Frozen behavior catalog id bound to the instance. |
+| **`state`** | **`idle`**, **`aggro`**, **`telegraph_windup`**, **`attack_execute`**, or **`recover`**. |
+| **`aggroHolderPlayerId`** | Lowercase player id from **`IThreatStateStore`**, or **`null`**. |
+| **`activeTelegraph`** | Non-null during **`telegraph_windup`**: **`telegraphId`**, **`npcInstanceId`**, **`windupRemainingSeconds`**, **`archetypeKind`**. |
+
+```bash
+curl -sS -i "http://localhost:5253/game/world/npc-runtime-snapshot"
+```
+
+**Poll pattern:** First GET after aggro acquire initializes runtime rows; subsequent GETs after **`attackCooldownSeconds`** elapse show **`telegraph_windup`** with decreasing **`windupRemainingSeconds`**. Cast does not advance NPC runtime — only this GET (and future explicit **`AdvanceAll`** callers).

 ## Combat engine (NEO-81)
 
 **`CombatOperations.TryResolve`** in **`Game/Combat/`** resolves server-internal **`CombatResult`**: ability lookup via **`IAbilityDefinitionRegistry`**, target HP read via **`ICombatEntityHealthStore`**, defeated pre-check (no damage on re-hit), then catalog **`baseDamage`** application. Zero-damage abilities (**`prototype_guard`**, **`prototype_dash`**) succeed without mutating HP. **`AbilityCastApi`** (NEO-82) invokes **`TryResolve`** after E1.M4 gates and returns nested wire **`combatResolution`** on accept.
