+## 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. Plan: [NEO-94 implementation plan](../../docs/plans/NEO-94-implementation-plan.md); Bruno: `bruno/neon-sprawl-server/npc-runtime-snapshot/`.
+
+| 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.
