Subject: [PATCH] fix(editor): call M2Renderer::prepareRender to allocate mega
 bone slots before render

Without prepareRender(), animated NPC creature instances had megaBoneOffset=0
which caused the render loop to skip them (filtered out at the bones check).
This is why all loaded NPC M2s produced 0 draw calls despite valid GPU buffers,
material sets, and instance creation. Matches the main game's render flow.
