fix(npc): tolerate removed region unlock member

[ifBars]

Summary

• stop resolving the removed RequiresRegionUnlocked field through Harmony during every Mono NPC wrapper construction
• resolve the optional native field/property silently and lazily when the public property is used
• use the existing true default and ignore writes when the game exposes neither member shape
• add contract coverage for field, property, and missing-member runtime shapes

Closes #272

Root cause

The Mono-only instance initializer called AccessTools.Field(typeof(ScheduleOne.NPCs.NPC), "RequiresRegionUnlocked"). Current Mono no longer exposes that field, and Harmony logs every failed lookup, so each constructed S1API NPC wrapper emitted a warning even if the public property was never used.

Game code evidence

Focused ilspycmd inspection of the current local game-owned assemblies found no RequiresRegionUnlocked field or property on either:

• Mono: ScheduleOne.NPCs.NPC
• IL2CPP generated wrapper: Il2CppScheduleOne.NPCs.NPC

The implementation still accepts either field or property shape for compatibility with other game versions, without publishing or committing assemblies, generated wrappers, or decompiled output.

Compatibility

• Source: unchanged; NPC.RequiresRegionUnlocked remains a public read/write bool property.
• Binary: unchanged; no public or protected signatures changed.
• Behavior: available field/property members remain readable and writable. When absent, reads now consistently return the existing IL2CPP default (true) and writes are safe no-ops. Wrapper construction no longer performs or logs a missing-member lookup.
• Save/network: unchanged; no IDs, serialization, save data, or network payloads changed.

Validation

• dotnet build S1API.sln -c MonoMelon --no-restore -p:AutomateLocalDeployment=false -v:q
• focused Mono tests: 3 passed
• full Mono suite: 627 passed
• dotnet build S1API.sln -c Il2CppMelon --no-restore -p:AutomateLocalDeployment=false -v:q
• focused IL2CPP tests: 3 passed
• full IL2CPP suite: 616 passed
• both builds completed with 0 warnings and 0 errors
• git diff --check

No gameplay smoke was run because this regression is limited to reflection member resolution and both runtime type shapes were directly inspected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved NPC region-unlock compatibility across supported runtimes.
  • NPC region-unlock status now reads and updates correctly where supported.
  • Added a safe default when the status cannot be read, while unsupported updates are ignored.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

NPC.RequiresRegionUnlocked now uses reflection-based compatibility helpers on all runtimes. The helpers support field-backed and property-backed members, use true when reads fail, and ignore unsuccessful writes. Tests cover the public API surface and these compatibility cases.

Changes

NPC region unlock compatibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reflection-backed NPC access S1API/Entities/NPC.cs	RequiresRegionUnlocked delegates to shared reflection helpers. Reads use a true fallback, and writes report whether the optional member was updated.
Compatibility validation S1API.Tests/Entities/NPCRegionUnlockCompatibilityTests.cs	Tests verify the public read/write bool property and behavior for field-backed, property-backed, and missing members.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4bb52

The PR safely defers optional region-member lookup until the property is used, preserving compatibility and defaults; repeated reflection may add a small localized overhead on repeated accesses, but no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Cache reflection member resolution.

TryGetFieldOrProperty and TrySetFieldOrProperty perform field and property lookup on every call, including missing members. Add a shared, thread-safe cache keyed by runtime type and member name while preserving field, property, and backing-field precedence.
