Remarks

A kiting archetype backs away whenever the target is inside its comfort distance. Left unbounded, and moving at the same run speed as the player, that is a fight nobody can close: the caster retreats every tick the player advances and a melee character never lands a hit. The budget drains while the NPC kites; once spent, the planner ignores the comfort band for RecoverySeconds and the NPC holds its ground, then the budget refills. Standing still refunds it slowly so a caster that is left alone gets its kite back.

One per NPC (on AIController), never on the shared state asset.
