+When `npcs` is bound, the combat extractor and normalizer receive the generated
+NPC registry at operation time. Framework provenance and checkpoint dependencies
+contain its kind, schema identity, media type, canonical digest, size, and
+bounded producer identity; names, content, and paths are not recorded there.
+When absent, the combat prompt receives the exact empty NPC registry value
+`{"npcs":[]}` with its projection digest and no registry provenance. The
+generated `scene_descriptions` artifact is supplied only to combat extraction.
 The complete example uses the same explicit scene binding; an external approved
 scene-description artifact may be used instead when the workflow crosses a
 process or session boundary.
