0074 — NPC trader economy

Status

Folded into FEATURES/economy/npc-traders.md.

Context

SYSTEMS/npc-lifecycle.md declares TRADER NPCs full economic actors whose trades are "treated identically to player transactions"; this ADR resolved the eleven open numeric/mechanical questions (wallet, restock-by-delivery, tariffs/hostility, docking slips, cross-region routes, warp-gate access, attribution, notoriety, and runtime tunables) under the principle that the economy is driven by real product moved by real actors, not invisible auto-supplement. The canon now lives in FEATURES/economy/npc-traders.md.
